Monthly Rate
- Demand Charge: $8.50 per month per kVA of billing demand
- Energy Charge: 4.150 cents per kWh for all kWh used
Determination of Billing Demand
For the billing demand shall be determined as follows:
- For the billing months June, July, August, and September, the billing demand shall be the maximum kilowatt or kVA demand established by the Member for any period of 15 consecutive minutes during the month for which the bill is rendered, as indicated or recorded by a demand meter and adjusted for power factor as provided below.
- For the billing months of October through May, the billing demand shall be the highest one of the following charges as determined for the consumer in question:
- The maximum kilowatt or kVA demand established by the Member for any period of fifteen consecutive minutes during the month for which the bill is rendered, as indicated or recorded by a demand meter and adjusted for power factor as provided below.
- 80% of the average of the most recent June, July, August, and September billed demands.
Power Factor Adjustment
The Member agrees to maintain unity power factor as nearly as practicable. kW (but not kVA) billing demand will be adjusted to correct for average power factors lower than 95% by multiplying the measured demand by 95% and dividing by the percent power factor. This calculation applies to the maximum value so calculated for the current month plus the previous eleven months.
Minimum Monthly Charge
The minimum monthly charge shall be the highest one of the following charges as determined for the consumer in question:
- The minimum monthly charge specified in the contract for service.
- The demand charge.
