(2) Minimum charge. The monthly minimum charge shall be the customer charge and distribution demand charge.
(3) Measurement of maximum load and energy. Maximum demand shall be measured by suitable instruments, and, in any month, the maximum demand shall be the average number of kilowatts (kW) in the 30-minute interval during which the energy metered is greater than in any other 30-minute interval in such month, divided by the average lagging power factor (expressed as a decimal) calculated for the month.

(7) Equipment supplied by customer. When the customer furnishes and maintains the complete substation equipment including all transformation equipment necessary to take its entire service at the primary voltage of the distribution system from which the service is to be received, a credit will be applied to each month's net bill.

(3) Measurement of maximum load and energy. Maximum demand shall be measured by suitable instruments, and, in any month, the maximum demand shall be the average number of kilowatts (kW) in the 30-minute interval during which the energy metered is greater than in any other 30-minute interval in such month, divided by the average lagging power factor (expressed as a decimal) calculated for the month. Energy (kWh) shall be measured by a suitable integrating instrument.
(4) Billing maximum demand. The billing maximum demand for any month shall be the maximum demand for the month, but in no month shall the billing maximum demand be less than 2,000 kilovolt-amperes (kVA).
(5) Measurement of distribution demand. The distribution demand shall be the greater of the billing maximum demand (kVA) in the current month or 60% of the billing maximum demand in the preceding 11 months.
(6) Metering adjustment. When the measurement of energy is made at the primary voltage of the transmission or distribution line used to supply the customer, the maximum demand and energy measurements shall be multiplied by 98% or such measurements shall be converted to the equivalent of metering at the utility's secondary voltage.
(7) Equipment supplied by customer. When the customer furnishes and maintains the complete substation equipment including all transformation equipment necessary to take its entire service at the primary voltage of the distribution system from which the service is to be received, a credit will be applied to each month's net bill.

(F) Economic development rider.
(1) Availability. This rider is available to a qualifying customer (as defined herein) to encourage large power users to expand or create new operations within the utility's service territory.
(2) Qualifications.
(a) A QUALIFYING CUSTOMER is a new or existing non-residential customer in the utility's service territory that is establishing new operations or expanding existing operations such that the new or expanded operations will result in new or additional demand of at least one MW (500 kW) at one delivery point (the qualifying demand) and the new or expanded operations has involved a capital investment of at least $1,000,000 within the utility's service territory.
(b) For a qualifying customer that is expanding operations, qualifying demand is measured from the average monthly peak demand for the 12 months immediately preceding the effective date of the service application. For a qualifying customer that is establishing new operations, qualifying demand is measured from zero.
(c) A qualifying customer is not a customer: (1) with "new" demand that results from a change in ownership of an existing establishment without qualifying new load; (2) renewing service following interruptions such as equipment failure, temporary plant shutdown, strike, economic conditions, or natural disaster; or (3) that has shifted its load from one operation or customer to another within the utility's service territory. The utility may determine exclusively, without recourse by the customer, whether an event has occurred that would prevent a customer from being a qualifying customer.
(3) Rate incentive.
(a) Beginning with the effective date indicated in the service application submitted by the qualifying customer, the utility will receive a credit on its wholesale bill for the qualifying new load. The incentive amount received by utility from the Indiana Municipal Power Agency for such load will be passed in full to qualifying customers. For reference purposes, the discount to the qualifying customer's wholesale cost for a qualifying new load will be calculated according to the following schedule:
Months 1 - 12 | 20% |
Months 13 - 24 | 15% |
Months 25 - 36 | 10% |
Months 37 - 48 | 10% |
Months 49 - 60 | 5% |
(b) The qualifying customer must meet the minimum qualifying demand during each month of the incentive period (i.e., months one through 60, as designated above). Failure to meet the minimum qualifying demand in a particular month will result in 0% reduction for that month.
(4) Terms and conditions.
(a) The qualifying customer must submit a service application to the utility specifying:
1. A description of the amount and nature of the new load;
2. The basis on which the qualifying customer meets the requirements of this rider;
3. The qualifying customer's desired effective date; and
4. Any other information required by the utility.
(b) This rider will terminate on the same date that IMPA's economic development rider terminates, except that any qualifying customer receiving the rate incentive at the time of the rider's termination may continue receiving the incentive for the remainder of the applicable incentive period for as long it continues to meet the rider's requirements.
(5) Applicable rate schedules. This rider is applicable to the following rate schedules: general service, industrial service, and industrial primary service.

All service and necessary maintenance will be performed only during regularly scheduled working hours of the utility. Non-operative lamps will normally be restored to service within two working days after notification by customer.
(3) Additional facilities. When facilities not provided for in the above charges are required for the installation of lamps, customer will pay in advance of installation the cost of such facilities required to supply service from the most suitable existing pole of utility to the point designated by customer for the installation of lamps.
(4) Hours of lighting. All amps shall burn approximately one-half hour after sunset until approximately one-half hour before sunrise each day in the year, approximately 4,000 hours per annum.
