CHARACTER OF SERVICE: Sixty hertz alternating current of such phase and voltage as the District may have available.

RATE:     Monthly Customer Charge:

Multi-phase
$ 17.40

Monthly Energy Charge:

April 1 through August 31, inclusive
First 20,000 kWh
$0.0433 per kWh
Over 20,000 kWh $0.0289 per kWh
September 1 through March 31, inclusive
First 20,000 kWh $0.0472 per kWh
Over 20,000 kWh $0.0356 per kWh

Monthly Demand Charge:

First 50 kW of demand per month no demand charge
Excess above 50 kW of demand per month:$5.60 per kilowatt of billing demand per billing period

BILLING DEMAND: The billing demand under this rate schedule shall be the highest of the following:

1. The measured demand for the month adjusted for power factor less 50 kW.
2. Or as specified in a separate contract.

MINIMUM MONTHLY BILL: May be the monthly customer charge, or 27¢/kVA of required transformer capacity, except that a higher minimum may be specified in accordance with the District's line extension policy (Policy No. 37 - Line Extension Policy).

DELIVERY POINT: The above rates are based upon the supply of service to the entire premises through a single delivery and metering point. Separate supply for the same customer at other points of consumption shall be separately metered and billed.

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 customer is less than 95% lagging, the billing demand may be increased by one percent for each percent or major fraction thereof that the average power factor is less than 95% 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.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Service under this classification is subject to the Customer Service Policies of Benton PUD or as specified in a special power sales contract. Additionally the District may require a contribution from the customer for the special facilities investment.
