CAPACITY INTERRUPTION:
Company shall have the right to call a Capacity Interruption for one or more Customers at any
time when Company believes, in its sole discretion, that generation or transmission capacity is
not sufficiently available to serve its firm load obligations, other than obligations to make intra-
day energy sales. Capacity Interruptions will typically be called when the Company forecasts
or, on shorter notice, has presently scheduled all available energy resources that are not held
back for other contingency or reserve purposes, to be online generating to serve obligation
loads. The Capacity Interruption may be activated to enable the Company to maintain
Operating Reserves, consisting of spinning and non - spinning reserves, ensuring adequate
capability above firm system demand to provide for such things as regulation, load forecasting
error, equipment forced outages and local area protection. A Capacity Interruption may be
called to relieve transmission facility overloads, relieve transmission under voltage conditions,
prevent system instability, relieve a system under frequency condition, shed load if SPS is
directed to shed load by the Southwest Power Pool (or subsequent regional reliability
organization) Reliability Coordinator, and respond to other transmission system emergencies.
The duration of any Capacity Interruption shall not be less than four hours, unless Customer has
opted to waive the four -hour minimum duration and, in such case, the duration shall not be less

outage of a system component, such as a generator, transmission line or other element.
Interruptible loads that are qualified as Contingency Reserve may be deployed by the Company
to meet current or future North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and other
Regional Reliability Organization contingency or reliability standards. The current standard is
the DCS, which sets the time limit following a disturbance within which a Balancing Authority
(BA) must return its Area Control Error (ACE) to within a specified range. In other words. a
Contingency Interruption ■vill be activated to help restore resources and load balance after an
unexpected resource outage.
The duration of any Contingency Interruption shall not be less than four hours, unless Customer
has opted to waive the four -hour minimum duration and, in such case, the duration shall not be
less than one hour. In addition, a single interruption of less than four hours is permitted if
Customer has less than four hours of interruption available to use the remaining hours.

demand that Customer was obligated to interrupt, but did not. The failure -to- interrupt charge
shall be equal to the highest incremental price for power during the Economic Interruption plus
three mils per kWh, as determined by the Company after the fact, including market costs. unit
start -up costs, spinning reserve costs and reserve penalty costs, if any. The charge will only
apply to the portion of the load Customer fails to interrupt.
Capacity or Contingency Interruption - In the event Customer is directed to interrupt and
fails to comply during a Capacity or Contingency Interruption, Customer shall pay the
Company fifty percent (S0 ° of Customer's expected annual credit rate times the maximum 30
minute demand recorded during the event for all demand that Customer was obligated to
interrupt, but did not. The penalty will apply only to the portion of the load that Customer fails
to interrupt. After Customer lads to interrupt twice, the Company shall have the option to
cancel the Agreement. If the Agreement is cancelled by the Company, Customer shall not be
eligible for service under this tariff for a minimum of one year, and Customer will not be liable
for the payment of 110" b times the Customer's CIL, times Customer's MCR for each of the
