9 this paragraph shall be designed to produce the lowest
10 reasonable rates on a long-term basis and shall reflect a
11 diversity of supply-side and demand-side resources, a
12 diversity of fuel types and a prudent mix of long-term, <--
13 short-term and spot-market purchases. A long-term <--
14 contract shall be permitted only for newly constructed or
15 proposed to be constructed alternative energy sources, as
16 that term is defined in section 2 of the Alternative
17 Energy Portfolio Standards Act, and new generation
18 resources determined by the commission to be required for
19 reliability as set forth in subparagraph (v). SPOT-MARKET <--
20 PURCHASES. LONG-TERM CONTRACTS SHALL BE PERMITTED TO
21 ACQUIRE ELECTRICITY GENERATION RESOURCES, DEMAND SIDE

3 process. The costs associated with the contract must be <--
4 consistent with the average cost of Tier I alternative
5 energy credits in other jurisdictions of the PJM
6 Interconnection, L.L.C., regional transmission
7 organization or its successor, accounting for the effect
8 that public subsidies have on the price of the
9 alternative energy credit. The commission shall determine
10 when there is significant competition among Tier I
11 alternative energy sources that the acts authorized by
12 this subpart are no longer necessary. PROCESS FOR A <--
13 PERIOD OF THREE YEARS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS
14 SUBPARAGRAPH.
15 (iv) (V) An electric distribution company or <--
16 commission-approved alternative supplier shall enter into
17 a contract with energy efficiency and other demand-side
18 resources, instead of electric generation facilities, to
19 meet any increases in energy usage and peak demand so
20 long as the cost of energy efficiency and demand-side
21 resources is less than the cost of electric generation.
22 To the extent that electric generation is necessary to
23 meet additional load growth, the electric distribution
24 company or commission-approved alternative supplier shall
25 make a good faith effort to procure electricity from
26 alternative energy sources specified in the Alternative
27 Energy Portfolio Standards Act.

5 electric generation resources are the lowest cost option
6 for ensuring reliability.
7 (vi) The portfolio of resources acquired pursuant to <--
8 this subsection shall be acquired separately for
9 residential customers, small business customers and large
10 customers as those customer classes are defined by the
11 commission for each electric distribution company or
12 commission-approved alternative supplier.
13 (vii) For the purposes of this paragraph "long-term
14 contract" shall be defined as a contract length of more <--

3 of-use pilot rate to residential and small business customers
4 voluntarily choosing to be part of the pilot program. An
5 electric distribution and commission-approved alternative
6 supplier shall provide to the commission a description of its
7 time-of-use pilot rate program and shall annually report on
8 the participation in the pilot program and the efficacy of
9 the pilot program in affecting energy demand and consumption.
10 (7) Within six years of the effective date of this <--
11 paragraph, an electric distribution company shall furnish its
12 customers with technology capable of allowing all customers
13 to participate in pricing programs that reflect time of use.
14 The electric distribution company may recover the net costs
15 associated with technology required to implement time-of-use
16 rates. Cost recovery shall reflect the operating cost savings
17 to the electric distribution company from the introduction of
18 technology to implement time-of-use rates. Customer
19 participation in time-of-use pricing shall be voluntary.
20 (8) By January 1, 2011, or at an electric distribution
21 company or commission-approved alternative supplier's next
22 default service offering, whichever is sooner, the electric
23 distribution company or commission-approved alternative

25 not limited to, a cost-based rate for any duration agreed
26 upon by the electric distribution company or commission-
27 approved alternative supplier and the large customer.
28 Contract rates entered into pursuant to this paragraph shall
29 be subject to review by the commission in order to ensure
30 that no costs related to the rates are borne by other
20070H1201B1989 - 10 -
