(A) Applicable:
(1) This rate is available upon application to power consumers for power which can be interrupted with at least a half-hour notice, where the monthly maximum demand of the interruptible load is at least 500 kilowatts each and every month of the past 12 (immediately preceding) billing months.
(2) This rate is not available for auxiliary or supplementary service.
(B) Character of service: Standard three phase primary voltage as presently utilized.
(C) Rate:
(1) Energy charge: All energy supplied to the customer used to supply the customer's interruptible load will be billed at a base rate of $0.067/kWh, plus the power cost adjustment set forth in § 54.07.
(2) In addition to the above base rate energy charge, the customer will pay any additional energy charges above the base rate incurred by the village to supply the customer's interruptible load. The customer will be notified of any additional charges to be incurred during the next day by 6:00 pm each day. The customer will have the option to interrupt its operation or pay the higher cost during each hour that the village's cost of power exceeds the base rate. If next day prices are not sent by the village or their agent, all power for that day will be priced at the base rate.
(D) Interruption of load: During periods when the village or its agent determine the need to reduce load in order to decrease transmission load, alleviate a system emergency, or for other reasons as determined by the village or its agent, customer agrees to reduce its interruptible load within no less than 30 minutes upon notification by the village or its agent. Should the customer fail to interrupt when instructed, the entire demand portion of the customer's load will be billed under the large power rate Schedule LP for that monthly billing period, plus any additional costs incurred by the village to supply customer's load.
(E) Scheduling: By January 15 and June 15 of each year, the customer will supply the village with a Schedule of Interruptible Load (SIL) which the customer desires to be served under this rate schedule, such SIL will be in not less than 100 kW increments. Once such SIL is submitted to the village, the non-interruptible load may not be decreased without the village's consent.
(F) Verification of interruptible load: Suitable metering equipment shall be installed at the customer's facility in order that the amount of load interrupted by the customer can be verified by the village.
(G) Non-interruptible load:
(1) The portion of the customer's non-interruptible load will be billed under the appropriate rate schedule currently serving the customer. The monthly billing demand for the customer's non-interruptible load will be the amount of non-interruptible load specified in the SIL.
(2) The Village Administrator may on 30 days' written notice prior to the billing period withdraw this schedule due to non-compliance by the customer, in which case the customer's entire load will be billed under the appropriate rate schedule currently serving the customer.
(H) Contract requirements: At the option of the village, service under this rate schedule may only be available under a service contract with consideration for size, character and location of the consumer's load and the amount of facilities to be furnished by the village in servicing the said load. Contract term initially shall be at least one year.
(I) Delayed payment charge: Ten percent shall be added to the net bill if not paid within a period of 15 days after rendition of bill for said service. Reasonable allowance may be made for out of town and absentee billing.
(J) Service voltage adjustments: These rates are based on metered service at 12,470 volts (primary service). When at the option of the village metering is at a secondary voltage (480 volts or less) the metered kilowatt-hours shall be increased by 1.5% to obtain the amount of energy billed.
