NOTICE • Advice Notice No. 62 Roosevelt County Electric Cooperative Inc. (“RCEC” or “Cooperative”) hereby provides notice of its filing with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“Commission”) on or around April 1, 2020, of proposed rate schedules, under Advice Notice No. 62, to modify its Tenth Revised Rate No. 5—Lighting—to add options for three new lighting fixtures utilizing energy saving LED technology that will be available to customers. RCEC’s tariffs governing the purchases from and sales to Qualifying Facilities of electricity are also being updated and consolidated into a single rate. This update to RCEC’s Rate Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 is being proposed solely to remove outdated language and references and to reflect the current practices of the Cooperative. The proposed changes will not increase the revenues or the rates of RCEC. I. Amount of Increase The requested rate change will not increase rates of the Cooperative. RCEC estimates that the new LED options available to customers will produce savings to members through enhanced efficiency, but this newer technology is simply being made available to members as an option and not a requirement. II. Customer Classes to Which the New Rates Apply The proposed rate changes will affect RCEC Rate Nos. 5, 10, 11,12, 13 and 14. The present and proposed rates that are being changed or modified are: Current Rate Proposed Rate Rate No. 5-Lighting Rate No. 5-Lighting LIGHT RATE PER FIXTURE 175 Watt Mercury Vapor $8.35 100 Watt High Pressure Sodium $8.35 250 Watt High Pressure Sodium $16.20 400 Watt High Pressure Sodium $17.70 1000 Watt High Pressure Sodium $29.05 175 Watt Metal Halide $8.35 250 Watt Metal Halide $16.20 400 Watt Metal Halide $17.70 1000 Watt Metal Halide $29.05 LIGHT RATE PER FIXTURE 51 Watt LED $8.35 X 70 Watt LED $16.20 X 130 Watt LED $17.70 X 215 Watt LED $29.05 X 175 Watt Mercury Vapor $8.35 100 Watt High Pressure Sodium $8.35 250 Watt High Pressure Sodium $16.20 400 Watt High Pressure Sodium $17.70 1000 Watt High Pressure Sodium $29.05 175 Watt Metal Halide $8.35 250 Watt Metal Halide $16.20 400 Watt Metal Halide $17.70 1000 Watt Metal Halide $29.05

Qualifying Facility Supplementary Power Service Original Rate No. 11—

Qualifying Facility Back-Up Power Service Original Rate No. 12—

Qualifying Facility Maintenance Power Service Original Rate No. 13—

Qualifying Facility Interruptible Power Service Original Rate No. 14—

Qualifying Facility Purchase Rate RCEC Original Rate Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are being replaced by Revised Rate No. 11 to reflect current practices of the Cooperative and the existing rules and regulations of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission regarding the purchase and sale of electricity in connection with Qualifying Facilities. There is no change in cost associated with these rates or the updates. III. The Impact on Residential Customers The proposed rates for Eleventh Revised Rate No. 5 are optional and will not adversely impact Residential Customer rates. The consolidation of current RCEC Rate Nos. 10, 11, 12 13 and 14 into Revised Rate No. 11 will also have no impact on the costs of the Cooperative or its members. These changes will not apply to residential customers. IV. Date of Filing RCEC intends to file the proposed rates with the Commission on or about May 1, 2020 to be effective on June 1, 2020. V. Member Notification Upon the request of a member, RCEC will promptly notify said member of the actual filing date of the rate schedules. VI. Automatic Effect of Rates The Schedules will go into effect automatically and without hearing, unless at least one percent or twentyfive (25) members of a customer class, whichever is fewer, file a protest with the Commission setting forth grounds for review of the proposed rates. The Commission will determine if the protest has provided just cause for review of the schedule. Such protest must be filed within twenty (20) days after RCEC files said schedules with the Commission. IF A HEARING IS HELD BY THE PUBLIC REGULATION COMMISSION, ANY COSTS INCURRED BY THE UTILITY MAY BE INCLUDED IN THE UTILITY’S FUTURE RATES, FOLLOWING THE UTILITY’S NEXT RATE CASE. VII.
