§ 50.18 GENERAL SERVICE (GS).
   (A)   Availability. Available through 1 meter to any customer having a maximum load requirement of 100 kilowatts or more. Applicant must be located adjacent to the utility's distribution line that is adequate and suitable for supplying the service requested.
   (B)   Character of service. Alternating current having a frequency of 60 Hertz, a standard single- phase and/or poly-phase voltage supplied by utility in the locality for which the service is required, and furnished at a voltage which is standard with the utility in the area served.
   (C)   Rate. The rate charges (subject to the provisions of Appendices A and B) shall be as follows:
 
Monthly Rates
(per kilowatt hour)
Base Rate
Maximum load charge (per KW of billing maximum load
$17.03
Energy charge:
 
   First 200 hours use of billing maximum load KWH
$.05191
   Over 200 hours use of billing maximum load KWH
$.03798
 
   (D)   Minimum charge. The minimum monthly charge shall be the maximum load charge.
   (E)   Measurement of billing maximum load and energy. Billing maximum load shall be measured by suitable instruments, and in any month, the billing maximum load shall be the average number of kilowatts in the 15-minute interval during which the energy metered is greater than in any other 15-minute interval in the month. For the purpose of billing, the billing maximum load shall be the greater of the maximum load for the month or 100 kilowatts. Energy shall be measured by suitable integrating instruments.
   (F)   Meter adjustment. If service is metered at a voltage greater than 480 volts, the billing maximum load and energy measurements shall be reduced by 2% to convert such measurements to the equivalent of metering at the utility’s secondary voltage.
   (G)   Special terms and conditions. A customer which has equipment installed having intermittent or violently fluctuating characteristics such as welders, cranes, etc. and which has combined input capacity in excess of 50 KVA, service will be permitted under this rate schedule, provided, however, that such service will be provided only through a separate transformer bank and with separate metering, and billed separately.
