MONTHLY DEMAND
CHARGE:
First 50 kW of demand
per month: no demand charge.
Excess above 50 kW of demand per month: $5.92
per kilowatt 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 Benton PUD's 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 Benton PUD may require
a contribution from the customer for the
special facilities investment.
