(A) Availability. Available through one meter for any customer contracting for a specified capacity of not less than 25 kilovolt-amperes. Applicant must agree to a one-year term of service and must be located adjacent to an electric transmission or distribution line of the utility that is adequate and suitable for supplying the service required.
(B) Character of service. Alternating current having a frequency of 60 Hertz and at a voltage which is standard with the utility in the area served.
(C) Rate, subject to the provisions of § 50.12.
Customer charge per month | $60 |
Maximum load charge | $18.398 per kVA of billing maximum load |
Energy charge | $0.040554 per kWh for all kWh |
(D) Minimum charge. The minimum monthly charge shall be the customer charge.
(E) Measurement of maximum load and energy. Maximum load shall be measured by suitable instruments provided by the utility, and in any month the maximum load expressed in kilovot-amperes shall be the average number of kilowatts in the 30-minute interval in such month during which the energy metered is greater than in any other such 30-minute interval in such month, divided by the average lagging power factor (expressed as a decimal) calculated for the month. Energy shall be measured by suitable integrating instruments provided by the utility.
(F) Billing maximum load. The billing maximum load for any month shall be the maximum load for the month, but in no month shall the billing maximum load be less than 25 kilovolt-amperes.
(G) Metering adjustment. If service is metered at a voltage of approximately 480 volts or lower, the maximum load and energy measurements shall be increased by 2% to convert such measurements to the equivalent of metering at the utility's primary voltage.
(H) Equipment supplied by customer. When customer furnishes and maintains the complete substation equipment, including any and all transformers, and/or switches and/or the equipment necessary to take his entire service at the primary voltage of the transmission or distribution line from which is to be received, a credit of $0.34 per KVA of billing maximum load will be applied to each month's net bill.
(I) Off-peak service. When customer elects to take electric service during the following designated off-peak periods, the following provisions will apply:
(1) Measurement of maximum load and energy. Maximum load shall be measured by suitable recording instruments and, in any month the maximum load for the on-peak hours shall be the highest 30-minute kilovolt-ampere load calculated during such on-peak hours and the maximum load for the off-peak hours shall be the highest 30-minute kilovolt-ampere load calculated during such off-peak hours. Such 30- minute kilovolt-ampere loads shall be calculated in accordance with the measurement of maximum load and energy provisions of Rate PPL based on the use of the average lagging power factor for both periods.
(2) Billing maximum load. The billing maximum load for any month shall be the greatest of (1) the maximum load established during on-peak hours for the month, or (2) 50% of the maximum load established during off-peak hours for the month, but in no month shall the billing maximum load be less than 500 kilovolt-amperes.
(3) Off-peak periods. Off-peak periods shall be all hours between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., local time, Monday through Friday, and all hours of the day on Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Legal holidays shall include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
(4) Special terms and conditions. The availability of off- peak service shall be limited to an aggregate load of not more than 5,000 kilowatts on a first-come, first-serve basis.
