7 Cpower app and log in credentials This is an interactive application between Customers and the program. For participation in the program, a designated person from your company will need to submit the schedule for the ACT129 events into the CPower app. Customer dispatch contacts will receive an enrollment letter with the user id and password for the CPower app. Please login into the software to become familiar with the application. Training materials can be found at:

8 Curtailment plans Curtailment plans will have a direct effect on customers' potential earnings calculations. Electric utilities are looking for details on how customers will be curtailing during ACT129 events. Based on CPower s engineering assessments, the CPower App includes customers curtailment scenarios. Customers can update curtailment scenarios at any time. Link to a training video:

9 Scheduling process ACT129 customers must schedule their intent to participate in an event via the app. A curtailment without the submitted schedule will not be valid. Hours of participation must be consecutive ( for example, HE13, HE14, HE 15, HE16, but not HE13, HE15 and HE16) Customers can submit their schedule up to 15 min before the start of the first hour of a planned event. If a customer scheduled their participation in the CPower app the day before the event, and can not participate on the day of the ACT129 event, the customers, must modify their scheduled participation.

10 Scheduling process: Economic and ACT129 Load CBL

11 Scheduling process: ACT129 stand alone Load CBL

12 Act 129 with other PJM programs With the PJM Emergency Program If an ACT 129 event overlaps with a PJM Emergency Event, customers will be paid for both programs based on performance. Customers should follow the dispatch notifications and use the respective curtailment method for each program. With the Economic Program PJM recently announced that hours of economic reduction that overlap with ACT129 events will not be eligible for PJM economic revenue. Customers that have Economic registrations should not schedule their Economic schedule for the hours during the ACT129 events. Customers can participate in the Economic Program for all non-act129 event hours.

13 CBL (Customer Base Line) What is a CBL and how is it used? CBL is the KWh value that determines where the load would have been if there were no ACT129 e vents. It is used to determine hourly ACT129 reductions. Hourly CBL- Hourly Load= Hourly Reduction. It is calculated based on historical load of a facility, it changes on a daily basis. Who defines it? CBLs are defined by each of the participating electric utilities. Can I change my CBL type in mid year? No. The CBL method assigned to your facility for , will remain in place until the end of the performance season. It will be reviewed by your electric utility before the start of the next performance season

14 CBL (Customer Base Line) How would l know which type CBL has been assigned to my facility? The CBL type for each facility will be identified in the CPower App. You can access more details on the spec ifics of this calculations by exporting the CBL Report
