A. Availability
The Large Power Rate Schedule applies to all members with commercial, industrial and large non-residential light, heat, and power loads having a demand in any month 75 kW or greater. This schedule does not apply to irrigation service.
B. Character of Service
Alternating current service, single or three-phase, will be provided at approximately 60 cycles. Voltage supplied will be at the discretion of the Cooperative and will be determined by the voltage available from distribution lines in the vicinity and/or other conditions. Frequency and voltage shall be subject to reasonable variation.
C. Rate
Distribution Access Charge: $100.00 per month
Demand Charge: $ 9.75 per kW of billing demand
Distribution Energy Charge: $.00875 per kWh
D. Determination of Billing Demand
The billing demand shall be the greatest of:
- The maximum kilowatt (kW) 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; or
- Sixty percent (60%) of the highest maximum kilowatt (kW) demand established in the prior eleven (11) months.
E. Power Cost Pass-Through
In addition to the rates and charges described above, members will be billed a Power Cost Pass-Through for all kWh consumed.
F. Transmission Cost Pass-Through
In addition to the rates and charges described above, members will be billed a Transmission Cost Pass-Through for all kWh consumed.
G. Determination of Demand
For purposes of rate classification, the demand shall be the maximum kilowatt (kW) 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 the demand meter. If demand exceeds the 75 kW level for more than one month in any period of 12 consecutive months, the account shall be classified as Large Power and billed under the Large Power rate.
H. Power Factor Adjustment
The Member agrees to maintain unity power factor as nearly as practicable. Demand charges will be adjusted to correct for average power factors lower than ninety-eight percent (98%) and may be so adjusted, if and when the Cooperative deems necessary. Such adjustments will be made by increasing the measured demand one percent (1%) for each one percent (1%) by which the average power factor is less than ninety-eight percent (98%) lagging.
I. Minimum Monthly Charge
The minimum monthly charge shall be the highest of the following charges:
- The Distribution Access Charge
- A charge of $1.00 per KVA of installed transformer capacity.
