The minimum monthly charge shall be the greatest of:
(A) The contract amount, if any;
(B) Fifty cents per connected transformer capacity (kVA) or proportional share of transformer capacity when serving multi-services from a single transformer bank; or
(C) The customer charge.
(Ord. 2010-11, passed 9-22-2010; Ord. 2019-25, passed on 5-13-2020)
(A) The billing demand shall be as indicated or recorded by suitable recording instruments provided by the electric utility and adjusted for power factor as provided in this schedule.
(B) The coincidental billing demand for any month shall be the maximum kilowatt demand established by the customer for any period of 60 consecutive minutes during the clock hour that is coincident with the same month, date, and time of the city’s wholesale power coincident peak billing demand used by the State Municipal Power Agency to bill its members located in the Duke Zone.
(C) The non-coincidental billing demand for any month shall be the maximum kilowatt demand established by the customer for any period of 15 consecutive minutes during the month for which the bill is rendered.
(D) When highly fluctuating or intermittent loads (such as welding machines, electric furnaces, x-ray equipment, and the like) are in operation by the customer, the electric utility reserves the right to set the minimum billing demand at the name plate or volt-ampere rating of the equipment. When such loads require additional equipment (e.g., separate transformers, capacitors, and the like), the costs for such equipment shall be included in the facilities charge.

(A) The customer agrees to maintain unity power factor as nearly as practical.
(B) The electric utility reserves the right to measure such power factor at any time. Should such measurements indicate that the power factor is less than 97% (lagging or leading), then the demand for billing purposes will be adjusted for the monthly peak demand period by multiplying the demand as indicated or recorded on the demand meter by 97% and dividing by the measured power factor (expressed in percent).

(A) The electric utility will update its energy cost adjustment (ECA) tracking factor each calendar quarter based on changes in the costs of purchased power, energy conservation/efficiency programs, payments in lieu of taxes, and other costs specifically approved by the Common Council. The electric utility will prepare separate tracking factors for each rate schedule and, as appropriate, for both the demand and energy charges.
(B) The imbedded base costs for the calculation of future ECA tracking factors are as follows:
Purchased power - demand: | $23.487/kW-month |
Purchased power - energy: | $0.044018/kWh |
(Combined demand and energy imbedded in base rates) | $0.093400/kWh |
Energy conservation/efficiency: | $0.000000/kWh |
PILOT: | $0.000000/kWh |
Other: | $0.000000/kWh |
