For all excess KWH | $0.0050/ KWH | $0.0053/ KWH |
(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) 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.
(f) 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.
(g) Metering. Electric energy shall be metered on the secondary side of the service transformers.
(h) Facilities Ownership Discount. When a customer owns or constructs transmission, transformation, substation apparatus or other facilities, relieving the Division of these costs, a discount of rates and charges may be allowed based on the cost of service to such customer as determined by the Division.
(i) Combined Billing. At the option of the Division, where plural connections supply the same customer, meter readings may be added for billing purposes and the combined demand shall be the coincident demand or the sum of the undiversified demands.
(j) 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.
(k) Energy Adjustment Charge. An incremental charge for excess energy costs shall be determined and applied on a monthly basis by the Division and applied in addition to the rates established in this section. The energy adjustment charge shall be determined by dividing the sum of the costs of coal, oil, gas and all costs of purchase power from a specific source or sources purchased by the Division for distribution to the Consumer by the total kilowatt hours distributed to Consumer. From the resulting figure shall be subtracted fifteen (15) mils per kilowatt hour, which constitutes the cost of coal, oil, gas and purchase power which is imbedded in the Optional Large Industrial Rate Schedule. In the event that no specific energy source is identified for Consumer, the energy adjustment charge shall be determined pursuant to Section 523.21(c)(2).
