(A) Availability. Available through one meter to any customer having a minimum load requirement of ten megawatts or more and directly fed from the utility’s 69kV transmission system. Applicant must be located adjacent to the utility’s transmission line that is adequate and suitable for supplying the services requested.
(B) Character of service. Alternating current having a frequency of 60 Hertz and furnished at a voltage which is standard with the utility in the area served.
(C) Rate, subject to the provisions of § 50.12.
Customer charge | $600 per meter per month |
Demand charge | $24.40 per KVA of billing demand |
Energy charge | $0.028682 per kWh for all kWh |
(D) Minimum charge. The minimum monthly charge shall be the customer charge.
(E) Determination of peak demand and measurement of energy. Peak demand shall be measured by suitable recording instruments provided by the utility and shall be the average number of kilo-volt amperes in the 15-minute period during which the kilovolt-ampere demand is greater than any other 15-minute interval in such month. For those customers who are not being metered by the use of a recording instrument, the peak demand, expressed in kilo-volt amperes, shall be the average number of kilowatts in the recorded 15- minute interval in such month during which the energy metered is greater than in any other such 15-minute interval in such month, divided by the lagging power factor (expressed as a decimal) calculated for the month. For billing purposes, the billing demand shall be the greater of the peak demand occurring during the month or ten MVA. Energy shall be measured by suitable integrating instruments.
(F) Metering adjustment. If service is metered at a voltage of approximately 13,800 volts or lower, the peak demand 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 ownership. Customer must own all equipment necessary to transform the power from 138kV to its suitable working voltage. This equipment must include but is not limited to structures, foundations, large power transformer, switches, breakers, station batteries, relay protection and control, CTs, PTs, security, and the like. Customer is responsible for proper routine maintenance on its customer owned equipment in accordance with industry best practices.
