Schedule 73: Large Agricultural Irrigation With Annual Facilities Charge
AVAILABLE: In all territory served by the District.
APPLICABLE: To agricultural irrigation power in excess of 300 horsepower served by one meter or as covered by special power sales contract and subject to the District's Annual Facilities Charge.
CHARACTER OF SERVICE: 60 hertz alternating current, three-phase, at available secondary voltage.
RATE:
Monthly Energy Charge
For projects subject to Special Annual Facilities Charge.
| Monday through Saturday, 6:00 a.m to 10:00 p.m. (on-peak): | |
| April 1 through August 31 | $0.0324 per kWh |
| September 1 through March 31 | $0.0411 per kWh |
| All Other Times (off-peak): | |
| April 1 through August 31, inclusive | $0.0280 per kWh |
| September 1 through March 31 | $0.0345 per kWh |
Monthly Demand Charge: $2.47 per kilowatt billing demand.
MINIMUM ANNUAL BILL: For each pumping station served at 2.4 kV or higher voltage, the minimum annual bill may be computed as follows:
- $2.70 per kVA of the self- cooled rating of transformer serving the pumping station or as determined by separate contract.
- This Minimum Annual Bill is in addition to any Annual Special Facilities Charge as computed below.
BILLING DEMAND: The billing demand shall be the measured demand for the month, adjusted for power factor.
DELIVERY POINT: The above rates are based upon the supply of service through a single delivery and metering point or as specified in a special power sales contract.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND: Demand measurement shall be made by suitable instruments at the point of delivery. Demand for any month shall be defined as the average kilowatt delivery during the thirty-minute period in which the consumption of energy is the greatest during the month for which determination is made.
POWER FACTOR ADJUSTMENTS: If the average power factor at which power is delivered to the purchaser is less than 97 percent lagging, the measured demand shall be increased by one percent for each percent or major fraction thereof that the average power factor is less than 97 percent lagging. The average power factor will be determined by measurement of kilowatt-hours and reactive kilovolt-ampere-hours during the billing period using the following formula:
Where pf = Average Power Factor
Where kWh = Kilowatt-Hours
Where kvarh = Reactive-Kilovolt-Ampere Hours
The meter measuring reactive volt-ampere-hours shall be ratcheted to prevent reverse rotation when the power factor of the load is leading.
SPECIAL ELECTRIC FACILITIES: District electrical distribution facilities that are required to provide electric service to the customer's facilities located on the customer's irrigation project. Upon the customer's written request and the District's approval, the District will furnish and install these Special Electric Facilities.
The amount of the District's investment in Special Electric Facilities shall be computed annually after each addition or change requested by the customer. The District will itemize and certify the amount of investment for the customer.
ANNUAL FACILITIES CHARGE FOR SPECIAL ELECTRIC FACILITIES: In addition to all other charges above, there may be an Annual Special Facilities Charge which shall be determined by multiplying the District's investment in the Special Electric Facilities as defined below by 18% or as determined by separate contract. This amount is due and payable April 1 of each year.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Service under this classification is subject to the Customer Service Policies of the District or as specified in a special power sales contract.
The District may provide time-of-day demand meter installations for pumping stations in excess of 300 horsepower.
For pumping stations of 300 horsepower or less, time-of-day demand metering will be provided only upon District approval of a customer's written request and at the customer's expense.
INCREMENTAL LOAD: Additional irrigation load for a customer served under this schedule is to be billed under this same schedule.
