Effective January 1, 2012
RATE SCHEDULE 23
NON TIME-OF-USE
AVAILABLE: In all territory served by the District.
APPLICABLE: To commercial, industrial, public buildings and other services not eligible under other rate schedules, where measured demand equals or exceeds 300 kW at least three months in a calendar year but never exceeds 3500 kW.
CHARACTER OF SERVICE: 60 hertz alternating current of such phase and voltage as the District may have available.
RATE:
Monthly Customer Charge
| Multi-Phase | $26.10 |
Monthly Energy Charge
| April 1, through August 31, inclusive | $0.0389 per kWh |
| September 1, through March 31, inclusive | $0.0465 per kWh |
Monthly Demand Charge
| First 50 kW of demand per month | no demand charge |
| Excess above 50 kW of demand per month | $7.00 per kilowatt of billing demand per billing period |
BILLING DEMAND: The billing demand under this rate schedule shall be the highest of the following:
- The measured demand for the month adjusted for power factor less 50 kW.
- Or as specified in a separate contract.
MINIMUM MONTHLY BILL: May be the monthly customer charge, or $0.27/kVA of required transformer capacity.
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 the District or as specified in a special power sales contract. Primary Facility charges will apply. Additionally, the District may require a contribution from the customer, or a Guaranteed Annual Revenue Contract (GAR), if an electric system improvement such as a new substation is needed as a result of new or additional load.
