Direct Load Control Programs. Retail customers that are participants in the Company's EFT Program will either continue to be paid an EFT credit by the Company (Option 1) or will cease to be paid such EFT credits by the Company and, in lieu thereof, will receive compensation (if any) for their participation from the Supplier (Option 2). Supplier shall make its election designating either Option 1 or Option 2 in writing to the Company prior to submitting its first enrollment transaction pertaining to an EFT participant and agrees that such election will apply to all of Supplier's customers who are EFT participants. Supplier agrees that if it fails to provide such timely notice to the Company, all of Supplier's customers who are participants in the Company's EFT program will be assigned to Option 1. Subject to any necessary PJM approvals, Supplier may change its election annually by providing advance notice to the Company prior to May 1 of each year. Supplier understands that an election under Option 2 will trigger additional notification and/or disclosure requirements to customers pursuant to the Company's retail tariff Rider "EFT" and Commission rules and regulations. Supplier agrees that it will not provide an election to the Company under Option 2 if such election would cause the Supplier to violate any such Commission rules and regulations or be inconsistent with the Company's retail tariff Rider "EFT". It is the intent of the Company and Supplier that under Option 1, any load reduction benefits that would accrue under PJM rules as a result of the retail customers' participation in the EFT program would accrue to the Company and, similarly, it is the intent of the Company and Supplier that under Option 2, any load reduction benefits that accrue under PJM rules as a result of the retail customers' participation in the EFT program would accrue to the Supplier. Supplier agrees that any credits, payments, offsets to charges, or other consideration given by Supplier to a retail customer that may be validly enrolled by Supplier, that has the ability to reduce load upon demand and that is not a participant in the Company's EFT Program, shall be a matter of contract between Supplier and its customer and Supplier shall not represent to such customer that any consideration that the Company maybe providing to such customer will continue.
Direct Load Control Programs. The Cooperative will maintain the Cooperative’s residential direct load control program, entitled Residential Load Management (“RLM”), for the Cooperative’s Electric Supply and Delivery Customers who are participants in the RLM program. The RLM program is an optional residential direct load control program which allows the Customer’s electric air conditioner, or electric water heater, or both, to be cycled off and on during a Cooperative, ODEC or PJM system peak or emergency. Please refer to the RLM Rider in the Cooperative’s tariff for specific details. Customers who select an Electric Supplier to provide their Electric Supply Service will no longer qualify for the RLM program. The Supplier agrees to inform an RLM participant that they will not be participating in the Cooperative’s RLM program and that the Customer will no longer receive an RLM credit from the Cooperative, if the Customer elects Electric Supply Service from the Supplier. Upon the Cooperative receiving proper notification that the RLM Customer has selected an Electric Supplier, the Cooperative will reclassify that RLM participant’s switching control box to be available for control only during system emergencies.
