The following schedule is applicable to all commercial installations during any month in which such installation uses more than five hundred thousand (500,000) kilowatt hours during the current month and has a demand of less than ten thousand (10,000) kilowatts:
(a) Demand Charge.

First 40,000 | $0.0331 | $0.0288 |
Next 60,000 | $0.0207 | $0.0173 |
Next 200 KWH/KWD but notless than 400,000 KWH | $0.0166 | $0.0140 |
Next 200 KWH/KWD | $0.0105 | $0.0084 |
All excess KWH | $0.0056 | $0.0056 |
(d) Determination of Demand. The kilowatt demand shall be determined monthly by demand measurements and shall be the maximum thirty (30) minute kilowatt demand during the month.
(e) Definition of Seasonal Rate. For the purpose of this rate schedule, the summer rate shall be in effect during the months of June, July, August, September and October. The winter rate shall be in effect during the months of November, December, January, February, March, April and May.
(f) Determination of Reactive Demand. The reactive billing demand shall be determined by multiplying the monthly kilowatt demand by the ratio of the monthly lagging reactive kilovolt ampere hours to the monthly kilowatt hours.
(g) Discount for Primary Metering. Where the electric energy is metered on the primary (two thousand three hundred (2,300) volts or higher) side of the service transformers, a discount of two percent (2%) of the gross primary metered kilowatt hours may be allowed.
(h) Voltage Supply Discount. Where the electric energy is provided entirely from an eleven thousand (11,000) volt circuit, a discount of five cents ($0.05) per kilowatt of demand billed may be allowed.
(i) Substation Ownership Discount. A discount of thirty cents ($0.30) per kilowatt of demand billed may be allowed when a customer owns, installs and maintains transformation and substation apparatus, thereby relieving the Division of these costs.
(j) Off-Peak Demand Allowance. At the option of the Division, the billing demand may be the greater of the regularly incurred demand or eighty-five percent (85%) of the maximum demand incurred during off- peak periods.
The cost of special metering to determine such demand shall be charged to the customer.
Off-peak periods shall be from 12:00 a.m. until 8:00 a.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and from 4:00 p.m. Saturday through 8:00 a.m. Monday.
(k) Special Service. Direct current, standby, temporary, special, welding, intermittent or extremely low load and extremely low load factor service is not included in this schedule and shall be subject to special rates based upon cost as computed by the Division of Cleveland Public Power.
Applicants for these services may be charged with the cost of installing and furnishing such services as well as the cost of removal of such services at the discretion of the Division.
The monthly minimum charge shall be applied in the case of all special services.
(l) Combined Billings. Where plural service connections supply a customer on the same premises, meter readings may, at the option of the Division, be added for billing purposes. The combined demand shall be the sum of the undiversified demands computed as for separate billing.
(m) Environmental and Ecological Adjustment. An adjustment to the Energy Adjustment Charge shall be applied to this rate as set forth and described in Section 523.17.
(n) Energy Adjustment Charge. In accordance with Section 523.21, an incremental charge or credit for excess energy costs shall be determined and applied on a monthly basis by the Division. Such incremental charge may be made in addition to the rates established in this section, but in no case shall such charge exceed the amount calculated using the formula established in Section 523.21.
(o) Determination of Applicable Schedule. In any month that the kilowatt demand (KWD) equals or exceeds ten thousand (10,000), the billing for that month shall be calculated using the Large Industrial Rate Schedule set forth in Section 523.047.
In any month that the kilowatt hour consumption is less than or equal to five hundred thousand (500,000), and the kilowatt demand (KWD) is less than ten thousand (10,000), the billing for that month shall be calculated using the Large Commercial Rate Schedule set forth in Section 523.04.
