METER TESTING Upon the request of a Customer, LP&L will test the accuracy of the
CHARGE: Customer's Meter at no charge to the Customer. The test shall be made
during LP&L's normal working hours and shall be scheduled to
accommodate the Customer or the Customer's authorized
representative, if the Customer desires to observe the test. The test
should be made on the Premises, but may, at LP&L's discretion, be
made at LP&L's test laboratory. If the Meter has been tested by LP&L
at the Customer's request, and within a period of four years the
Customer requests a new test, LP&L shall conduct the test. However,
if the subsequent test finds the Meter to be within ANSI's accuracy
standards, LP&L may charge the Customer a $50.00 fee, which
represents the cost of testing.
Following the completion of any requested test, LP&L shall promptly
advise the Customer of the date of removal of the Meter, the date of
the test, the result of the test, and who made the test.

POWER COST RECOVERY FACTOR:
The Power Cost Recovery Factor (PCRF), provides for the recovery of all power costs incurred by
LP&L in serving system demand and energy requirements. The PCRF shall be reviewed and may be
adjusted by the Director of Electric Utilities at a minimum of two times per year, once during the
non -summer season of October through May and once during the summer season of June through
September. The PCRF will have a demand (PCRF-D) and energy (PCRF-E) component or rate. The
PCRF rates shall be established with the intention of matching PCRF revenues with actual power
costs over the course of a fiscal year, giving consideration to seasonal fluctuations in load and in
power prices. The PCRF may be adjusted more frequently if any over or under recovery exceeds the
maximum variance as defined below.
For a particular customer class, the PCRF-E shall be adjusted by the following voltage level factors:
Primary Voltage: 1.0409
Secondary Voltage: 1.06340
On a monthly basis, LP&L shall track actual revenues collected from the PCRF and compare these
revenues to actual total power costs incurred. The cumulative balance representing the difference
between total PCRF revenues collected less total power costs incurred over the period shall be
reported to the LP&L Electric Utility Board on a monthly basis.
A PCRF balancing account will be established with a cap equal to five percent of total annual
budgeted or forecasted power costs to manage the monthly over/under collection of, or differences
in, the monthly PCRF revenues and monthly power costs. If at any time, the reported cumulative
balance of the difference between total PCRF revenues collected and power costs is greater than the
PCRF balancing account cap, an adjustment may be made to the PCRF rates with the intention of
refunding the over recovery amount. In addition, if at any time the reported cumulative balance of
the difference between total PCRF revenues collected and power costs is approaching or less than
zero, an adjustment may be made to the PCRF rates with the intention of replenishing the PCRF
stabilization fund.
All mid -season adjustments to the PCRF shall be approved by the Electric Utility Board.
