PURPOSE: This rule sets forth the definitions,
				  requirements, and procedures for filing and processing applications for
				  approval, modification, and discontinuance of electric utility demand-side
				  programs. This rule also sets forth requirements and procedures related to
				  customer opt-out, tax credits, monitoring customer incentives, and

(1) The definitions of terms used in this
				section can be found in
				4 CSR
				240-20.092 Definitions for Demand-Side Programs and
				Demand-Side Programs Investment Mechanisms.
(2) Guideline to Review Progress Toward an
				Expectation that the Electric Utility's Demand-Side Programs Can Achieve a Goal
				of All Cost-Effective Demand-Side Savings. The goals established in this
				section are not mandatory and no penalty or adverse consequence will accrue to
				a utility that is unable to achieve the listed annual energy and demand savings
				goals.
(A) The commission shall use the
				greater of the annual realistic amount of achievable energy savings and demand
				savings as determined through a market potential study or the following
				incremental annual demand-side savings goals as a guideline to review and
				determine whether the utility's demand-side programs can achieve a goal of all
				cost-effective demand-side savings:
1. For the
				utility's approved first program year: three-tenths percent (0.3%) of total
				annual energy and one percent (1.0%) of annual peak demand;
2. For the utility's approved second program
				year: five-tenths percent (0.5%) of total annual energy and one percent (1.0%)
				of annual peak demand;
3. For the
				utility's approved third program year: seven-tenths percent (0.7%) of total
				annual energy and one percent (1.0%) of annual peak demand;
4. For the utility's approved fourth program
				year: nine-tenths percent (0.9%) of total annual energy and one percent (1.0%)
				of annual peak demand;
5. For the
				utility's approved fifth program year: one-and-one-tenth percent (1.1%) of
				total annual energy and one percent (1.0%) of annual peak demand;
6. For the utility's approved sixth program
				year: one-and-three-tenths percent (1.3%) of total annual energy and one
				percent (1.0%) of annual peak demand;
7. For the utility's approved seventh program
				year: one-and-five-tenths percent (1.5%) of total annual energy and one percent
				(1.0%) of annual peak demand;
8.
				For the utility's approved eighth program year: one-and-seven-tenths percent
				(1.7%) of total annual energy and one percent (1.0%) of annual peak demand;
				and
9. For the utility's approved
				ninth and subsequent program years, unless additional energy savings and demand
				savings goals are established by the commission: one-and-nine-tenths percent
				(1.9%) of total annual energy and one percent (1.0%) of annual peak demand each
				year.
