Definition of Standby Capacity: Standby Capacity is defined as the lower of:
A. Customer's accredited summer capability, as determined under the procedures established by Attachment AA of the Southwest Power Pool Open Access Transmission Tariff, or
B. The customer's gross demand, defined as the highest 30-minute integrated demand of customer facility as determined by a meter that measures total load, including amounts that may be served by customer-owned generation, or
C. The Contract Standby Capacity, as stated in the service contract between the Customer and City.
Standby Capacity will be set for a 12-month period beginning on January 1 of each calendar year based on the above criteria applied to the prior October 1 through September 30.
Determination of Monthly Usage Demand: Monthly Usage Demand equals the Customer's measured net demand (gross usage less output of customer-owned generation used to serve customer energy requirements) in a given month, less the capacity associated with any generation that is out of service for a maintenance outage that has been approved by the City (see "Maintenance Outages" section of this rate schedule).
Determination of Firm Energy: Firm Energy is determined hourly and is equal to the lesser of:
A. Monthly Usage Demand, integrated for 30-minute period
B. Hourly Usage Energy
Determination of Standby Energy: Standby Energy is determined hourly and is equal to the Hourly Usage Energy less Firm Energy.
Determination of Hourly Usage Energy: Hourly Usage Energy equals the energy usage by customer in excess of the output of customer-owned generation, provided that the energy usage in any hour cannot be less than zero. In the event that customer-owned generation produces excess energy in a given hour, the Monthly Usage Energy for that interval shall be zero and any excess energy shall be reimbursed under the "Excess Energy Rate" section of this rate schedule.
Deposit: Two (2) times the highest estimated monthly bill. Deposits held until Customer no longer takes service from the District.
Excess Energy Rate: In the event the customer's generators produce excess energy over the energy used by the customer's facility and the customer has not made arrangements with a third party to purchase said energy, the energy shall be purchased by the City at the real-time locational marginal price for the Grand Island load settlement location in the Southwest Power Pool Integrated Marketplace.
Billing for Actual Demand: If customer takes service associated with the standby capacity from City without approval of a maintenance outage, the customer will be billed for its Actual Demand based on Schedule 100, provided that charges for Distribution Standby Service will be credited against the demand charges applicable to said customer.
Billing for Firm Energy: Firm Energy is billed at the established rate in this rate schedule, including applicable monthly Power Cost Adjustment.
Billing for Standby Energy: Standby Energy is billed based on the higher of the following:
A. The Real-Time Locational Marginal Price (LMP) for the Grand Island load settlement location in the Southwest Power Pool Integrated Marketplace multiplied by the energy consumed, calculated for each interval in the billing month when the customer takes energy from the City, plus $0.0015 per kWh ($1.50/MWh), or
B. The Day-Ahead LMP for the Grand Island load settlement location in the Southwest Power Pool Integrated Marketplace multiplied by the energy consumed, calculated for each interval in the billing month when the customer takes energy from the City, plus $0.0015 per kWh ($1.50/MWh).
Maintenance Outages: Customer may take up to 14 days per year of maintenance outages without being billed for Actual Demand under the following conditions:
A. Outages must be scheduled at least 120 days in advance during the period of September 15 and December 1 and March 15 through May 31, with written notification provided to the City and approval or rejection provided in writing to the customer within 7 days, or
B. During other periods as agreed-upon by the City based on weather conditions, loads, and local and regional generation availability, provided the customer must notify the City at least 14 days prior to any planned outage, with the City providing an approval or rejection within 7 days of the request.
Minimum Bill: The minimum bill shall be the sum of the following:
A. Customer Charge plus
B. Distribution Standby Rate multiplied by the contracted standby capacity, plus
C. Generation Standby Rate multiplied by the contracted standby capacity, plus
D. Electric City Dividend.
Specific Terms and Conditions Applicable to Standby Rate: The following terms and conditions are specific to service provided under this rate schedule:
A. Contract Year: All contracts under this schedule shall be for a minimum period of one year, beginning January 1 and ending December 31, and one-year periods thereafter until terminated, where service is no longer required on 30 days' notice. Greater minimum periods may be required by contract in situations involving large or unusual loads.
B. Meter Installation: The City shall, at the expense of the customer, install, own, operate, and maintain the metering to measure the electric power and energy supplied to customer to allow for proper billing. Said meter will provide data based on the billing intervals used by the Southwest Power Pool Integrated Marketplace. In addition, the City will install, at the expense of the customer, a meter that measures the flow of power and energy from the customer's own generating facility (generation metering).
As a result of the electrical or physical configuration of the customer's generation facility, the City may determine that it is more practical or economical to use generation metering installed and owned by the customer rather than installing its own metering equipment. If the City, at its sole discretion, makes such a determination, then the customer-owned generation metering may be used for billing purposes, so long as such metering equipment meets the City's standards for quality and accuracy.
