(a) Availability & Applicability: This schedule is available and applicable throughout Village's (hereinafter referred to as Utility) entire service area for all single and/or 3-phase non-residential service not specified or applicable under Utility's Residential Schedule "R". Such non-residential service includes service furnished to retail or wholesale businesses, manufacturing or processing establishments, hotels, motels, mobile homes, trailer camps, stores, restaurants, service stations, professional offices, theaters, amusements, offices, schools, churches, clubs, lodges, multiple dwelling units, apartment houses, public buildings, etc. and all other service that is not strictly residential or home use in character.
(b) All Service under Schedule "GS" is subject to the provisions of this Schedule and Utility's General Rules and Regulations or subsequent revisions thereof, as if fully written herein. Utility reserves the right to limit this Schedule to a maximum load of 150 kVa. This Schedule applies to all 3-phase service whether for Residential or Non-Residential use. This Schedule also applies to Residential Service where the installed or allocated name plate transformer capacity exceeds 25 kVa.
(c) The net rate per month or part thereof per service, the billing shall be calculated as the sum of the charges set forth below:
BASE RATE | EXCESS CAPACITY CHARGE |
Service Charge: $5.00 | $6.00 per kW of Billing Capacity in excess of 25 kW. |
(d) In addition to the charges set forth in 933.02 (c), the following Energy Charge shall apply:
First 5,000 kWh @ | $0.125 per kWh |
Next 5,000 kWh @ | 0.115 per kWh |
Over 10,000 kWh @ | 0.090 per kWh |
All Billings are subject to the provisions relating to Billing Capacity, Monthly Minimum Charge, Power Supply Cost Adjustment and the other provisions set forth herein.
(e) Determination of KW Billing Capacity & Charge: The kW Billing Capacity shall be the highest measured 15 minute integrated or equivalent thermal kW Capacity determined to the nearest kW by means of suitable metering equipment, but not less than the kW that is equal to 50% of the total kVa of installed or allocated transformer capacity, nor less than forty percent (40%) of the highest kW Capacity measured during the proceeding 11 months, nor less than the Minimum Billing Capacity specified in Consumer's Contract with Utility.
Utility reserves the right at any time to install Capacity Metering Equipment. Utility will normally install Capacity Metering Equipment when Consumer's usage in any month exceeds 10,000 kWh.
Where capacity Metering Equipment is installed and the power factor at time of maximum measured Capacity is less than 90%, Utility reserves the right to determine the Billing Capacity based on the measured kVa Capacity instead of kW Capacity. Where Capacity metering equipment is not installed the billing capacity may be estimated by Utility, based on tests or other reasonable basis as determined by Utility.
For highly fluctuating loads, such as welders, hoists and the like, the measured Capacity in kW shall be increased by an amount that is equal to 50% of the separately installed or allocated kVa of transformer Capacity required to supply such fluctuating loads.
Where the service installation qualifies for single billing, as specified under "Other Terms & Conditions" 933.02 (g), and separate single and 3-phase meters are installed, the Billing Capacity shall be the arithmetical sum of the recorded Maximum kW Capacities.
(f) Monthly Minimum Charge per Service: The Monthly Minimum Charge shall be not less than the highest Minimum Charge as determined by any of the following methods:
(1) For Single Phase Service Only: Where Capacity Metering Equipment IS NOT INSTALLED, the Monthly Minimum Charge shall be $5.00 for the first 5 kVa of installed or allocated transformer capacity used to service Consumer, plus $2.00 for each kVa of said transformer capacity that is in excess of 5 kVa.
Where Capacity Metering Equipment IS INSTALLED, the Minimum Charge shall be $5.00, but not less than $4.00 per kW of the applicable Billing Capacity.
(2) For 3-Phase, 3 or 4 Wire Service: The Minimum Charge shall be $30.00, but not less than $4.00 per kW of the total applicable Billing Capacity as herein determined, nor less than the Minimum Charge that may be specified by Contract with Utility.
For 3-Phase service, the applicable Monthly Minimum Charge shall apply on a year around 12 consecutive months' basis or longer as may be specified by Contract. Therefore, any seasonal disconnection of 3-Phase service shall not avoid the applicable Monthly Minimum Charge, except as specified under (3) below.
(3) For Service Furnished to Activities Such as Athletic Fields, Etc: For service furnished to charitable, philanthropic, non-profit community activities, (athletic fields, swimming pools, parks, fairs, carnivals and the like), the Minimum Charge shall be $4.00 per kW of the total applicable Billing Capacity as determined above but not less than $5.00. The Minimum Charge as determined in this Section shall apply to the billing months or part thereof that service is connected, but not less than 4 consecutive months out of each 12 month period.
(4) Special Installations: Where installations are of unusual character as to Electric usage requirements and/or investment, the Monthly Minimum Charge and Minimum Billing Capacity will be determined by Utility and shall be set forth in the Service Application or Contract with Consumer.
(g) Power Supply Cost Adjustment: The rates and charges set forth in this Schedule are subject to the adjustments specified in Utility's Rider "A" (referred to as the Power Supply Cost Adjustment or PSCA).
(h) Other Terms & Conditions:
(1) Character of Service: For new installations, service will normally be supplied through a single set of service wires with all service delivered to a single meter location. Under such conditions a single bill will be rendered for service. Utility reserves the right to use separate single and 3-phase meters, and add and/or combine the meter readings as provided under 933.02 (e) "Monthly Minimum Charge" per service.
(2) Single Billing If Service Is Supplied Thru Single Service Drop: Where service is supplied through a single service drop of either 3 or 4 wires extending to a single meter location (to be designated by Utility), a single bill will be rendered, whether or not Utility elects to use single or multiple metering.
(3) Multiple Billing For Service Supplied Thru Multiple Service Drops: Where service is delivered through individual and separately metered single and 3-phase service drops at different meter locations, a separate bill will be rendered for each service drop.
(4) Multiple Service Requirements In Order To Qualify For Single Billing: If Consumer arranges his wiring at his cost so that all requirements can be supplied by means of a single 3 or 4 wire service drop extending to a single meter location designated by Utility, and providing that such service can be supplied from a single transformer bank and metered through a single meter, a single bill will be rendered for such service. In place of a single meter, Utility reserves the right to use separate single and 3-phase meters in order to determine compliance as to the Minimum Charge as provided in 933.02 (e) under "Monthly Minimum Charge Per Service".
(5) Metering Voltage: Utility reserves the right to meter Consumer's requirements in the most practical manner either at Utility's secondary or primary distribution voltage and in either case the billing kWh shall be the metered kWh.
(6) Use of Service: Service under this Schedule shall not be resold or shared with others.
