Memorandum
City of Port Arthur, Texas
Robert A. "Bob"Bowers Civic Center
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ron Burton, City Manager
From: Adam J Saunders, Civic Center Dir
RE: Proposed Resolution No. 24455
The City of Port Arthur, and specifically the Civic Center Department, has been approached by
Entergy Texas, Inc. of The Woodlands, Texas, to enter into an agreement to participate in their
Power Through program. This program would provide the Robert A. "Bob" Bowers Civic
Center with a natural gas generator large enough to power the building in full in case of a power
failure. The City would initially share some costs of the generator and continue to do so in the
long term. Entergy Texas would pay a larger portion of the cost, which will include, but not be
limited to, the installation, preventive maintenance, complete maintenance, and repairs, the cost
of the natural gas used, etc. This generator would be available to the Civic Center during any
power failure, regardless of the length of time the power is out. In return, Entergy Texas will
have ownership of the generator and full use of it as they deem appropriate during all other
times. Regardless of the needs of Entergy Texas, Inc., the Civic Center's use of the generator
during a power failure will take priority. The City Council requested approval for the City
Manager to enter negotiations with Entergy Texas, Inc. In these negotiations, and exact cost to
the City of Port Arthur will be determined.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended to approve the resolution to authorize the City Manager to negotiate a
contract with Entergy Texas, Inc. of The Woodlands, Texas, for the City of Port Arthur to
participate in the Entergy Texas Power Through program to have a natural gas generator
installed at the Robert A. "Bob"Bowers Civic Center.
BUDGETARY AND FISCAL EFFECT
There is no budgetary impact at this time. Any future financial obligations will be evaluated and
presented upon completion of contract negotiations.
STAFFING EFFECT

If the Host Customer's operations and corresponding electric requirements expand at some future date and N
would exceed the capabilities of the Facilities that were calculated based on the Host Customer's load
profile when the Facilities were installed, then Host Customer must notify Company within a reasonable
time period, and no later than two weeks,prior to any such change taking effect. Host Customer is solely
responsible for costs associated with designating and integrating the components of its updated load(e.g.,
designating"critical load"circuits)that are capable of and will continue to be supported by the Facilities.
Without guaranteeing that Company will provide continuous,uninterrupted service to Host Customer and
without waiving,amending or modifying any of the rights or obligations as set forth in Company's Terms
and Conditions Applicable to Electric Service, Company acknowledges that the Facilities will be available
to provide_kW of backup electric service to Host Customer in the event Company is unable to serve
Host Customer's load through its transmission and/or distribution system. Company acknowledges that

Customer. Such dispatch, both in terms of frequency and duration, will be within the Company's sole
discretion, subject to the limitations in the preceding paragraph.
ARTICLE III. FUEL RESPONSIBILITY
Company will obtain natural gas service, including a natural gas meter and infrastructure of adequate
capacity,to supply the Facilities, and the cost of doing so will be included in the Total Installed Cost2 of the
Facilities. Fuel procurement and delivery associated with the operations and maintenance of the Facilities
will be the Company's responsibility,and the associated costs will flow through the Fixed Fuel Factor and
Loss Multipliers rate schedule (Schedule FF).
ARTICLE IV. PERMITS
Company will obtain and comply with any license or permit required to be in Company's name to enable it
to install, operate, and maintain the Facilities. Host Customer will obtain and comply with any license,
permits,and/or approvals from proper authorities required to be in Host Customer's name in order for the
Host Customer to host the Facilities. Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party and to assist the

SECTION III RATE SCHEDULES Page 58.1
ENTERGY TEXAS, INC. Sheet No.: 162
Electric Service Effective Date: 3-3-25
Revision No.: 0
Supersedes: New Schedule
SCHEDULE UODG Schedule Consists of: Two Sheets
UTILITY-OWNED DISTRIBUTED GENERATION RIDER
AVAILABILITY
This Utility-Owned Distributed Generation Rider("UODG Rider") is available to customers
served at Primary or Secondary voltage under rate schedules GS, GS-TOD, LGS, LGS-
TOD, LIPS, and LIPS-TOD who enter into a contract with the Company for backup electric
service from utility-owned, customer-sited, dispatchable distributed generators ("Host
Customer(s)"). Such distributed generation will be installed in front of the Host Customer's
electric meter.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in a rate schedule, the UODG Rider is not available
to customers who are served under the Standby and Maintenance Service Rider (SMS),
Rate for Purchases from Qualifying Facilities Less Than or Equal to 100 kW(SQF), Nonfirm
Energy Purchased from Large Qualifying Facilities(LQF), Competitive Generation Service
(CGS), Economic As-Available Power Service (EAPS), and Rider to Schedule LIPS for
Interruptible Service(IS).
II. APPLICATION AND CONDITIONS
Host Customers taking service under this UODG Rider will enter into an Agreement for
Backup Electric Service from Customer-Hosted Utility-Owned Distributed Generation
("Agreement") and be responsible for paying a monthly fee designed to recover a portion
of the cost to acquire, install, maintain, and operate the Facilities specified in Attachment
B of the Agreement.
At the execution of such Agreement, the customer will have a one-time election to select
the Recovery Period that will be used to calculate the Host Customer's Monthly Charges
applicable over the UODG Agreement Term (defined below). At the Company's sole
discretion, the Agreement Term may be modified to a period less than 20 years. The Host
Customer's selected Recovery Period must be less than or equal to the UODG Agreement
Term.
III. DEFINITIONS
Capacity Value=$110.50/kW-year. For purposes of calculating the Monthly Charges,the
Capacity Value will be the value included in the version of this Schedule UODG in effect
when the Agreement is executed (such version will be attached for reference as
Attachment A to the Agreement).
DG Capacity=the capacity(expressed in kW)of the distributed generator(s)identified as
DG Capacity in Exhibit 1 to Attachment B of the Agreement.
(Continued on reverse side)
Page 58.2
Energy Value = 27.47% of MISO margins earned by the DG Capacity (i.e., energy or
ancillary service-related revenues less costs used to develop generation offers). Margins
are subject to subsequent adjustment for MISO resettlements. Such adjustments will be
applied to the Energy Value component in the Net Monthly Charge formula.
Total Installed Cost = the total installed cost of the distributed generator(s) specified in
Attachment B of the Agreement.
Host Customer Allocation of Total Installed Cost is the portion of Total Installed Costs
that has been allocated to the Host Customer for the costs that are in excess of the
Capacity Value, represented by the formula:
Host Customer Allocation of Total Installed Costs = Total Installed Costs x Host
Customer Allocation Percentage
Host Customer Allocation Percentage is determined by calculating the difference
between the Levelized Real UODG Value and the Capacity Value. This difference is then
compared to the Levelized Real UODG Value and the entire calculation is represented by
the formula:
Host Customer Allocation Percentage = (Levelized Real UODG Value—Capacity
Value)/Levelized Real UODG Value
Levelized Real UODG Value is the cost stream that when escalating the first year's cost
annually at inflation over the useful life results in the same present value of the lifetime
revenue requirement of the UODG asset divided by the DG Capacity, expressed as a
$/kW-year amount and identified as Levelized Real UODG Value in Exhibit 1 to Attachment
B of the Agreement.
IV. MONTHLY CHARGES
The UODG Rider monthly charge during the Recovery Period will be equal to:
Monthly % During Recovery Period x Host Customer Allocation of Total Installed
Costs
The UODG Rider monthly charge to recover O&M expense after the Recovery Period will
be equal to:
Monthly% Post-Recovery Period x Host Customer Allocation of Total Installed
Cost
V. UODG RIDER ENERGY VALUE CREDIT
The Monthly Charges defined in Section IV will be reduced by the Energy Value produced
by the Host Customer's distributed generator(s), if any.

VI. RECOVERY PERIOD
Host Customers define in the Agreement the number of years(the"Recovery Period")that
will define the appropriate monthly rates to be applied to the Host Customer Allocation of
Total Installed Cost. The Recovery Period cannot be longer than 20 years. The following
table specifies the monthly percentages for application during the selected Recovery
Period and any years following the Recovery Period (Post-Recovery Period).

19 1.001% 0.150%
20 0.982% 0.150%
The Recovery Period selected in the Agreement cannot be changed,and Monthly Charges
applicable during the Recovery Period cannot be accelerated or prepaid in order to
transition to the Post-Recovery Period earlier than scheduled; provided, however, that a
Host Customer may make a lump sum payment of any remaining financial obligations
associated with the Recovery Period upon Host Customer's election to terminate the
Agreement, as provided below. Under those circumstances (Host Customer termination),
Host Customer would no longer receive backup electric service under this Rider UODG
and would likewise not be obligated to pay Monthly Charges associated with what would
have been any remaining Post-Recovery Period.
(Continued on reverse side)
Page 58.4
VII. AGREEMENT TERM
The term of the Agreement("Agreement Term")will be for an initial period of 20 years and
automatically will be extended thereafter for successive periods of one (1)year each until
terminated by written notice given by one party to the other not more than six (6) months
nor less than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the initial Agreement Term or any
anniversary thereof.
If the Host Customer ceases to take electric service from the Company or terminates the
Agreement during the initial Agreement Term, as discussed above, the Host Customer
must still pay the applicable Monthly Charges (either monthly or in a single payment
equivalent to the sum of the Monthly Charges)for what would otherwise be due during the
remaining Recovery Period, provided that the remainder of the Recovery Period is four
years or less. In the event that the remaining Recovery Period is longer than four years,
Host Customer must make a single payment equivalent to the sum of the Monthly Charges
that would otherwise be due during the remaining Recovery Period. A single payment
would be due no later than 30 days after the date of receipt of an invoice from the Company.
VIII. PAYMENT
The past due amount for service furnished for which payment is not made within sixteen
(16)days of the billing date will be the monthly bill, including all adjustments under the rate
schedule and applicable riders, plus 5%. The 5% penalty on delinquent bills will not be
applied to any balance to which the penalty has already been applied. If the amount due
when rendered is paid prior to such date, the monthly bill will apply. If providing service to
the State of Texas or to municipalities or other political subdivisions of this state, Company
will not assess a fee, penalty, interest, or other charge to these entities for delinquent
payment of a bill.
