This rate will be available on an optional basis to customers for all types of service if their monthly Maximum Measured Demand is in excess of
50 kilowatts (kW) per month for three or more months in a consecutive 12-month period,
but not greater than 200 kW per month for three or more months in a consecutive
12-month period.
A customer billed on this rate shall continue to be billed on this rate until their monthly Maximum Measured Demand is less than
50 kW per month for 12 consecutive months. The utility shall annually offer a customer billed on this rate the option to continue to be billed on this rate for another 12 months if their monthly Maximum Measured Demand is less than
50 kW per month. However, this option shall be offered with the provision that the customer waives all rights to billing adjustments arising from a claim that the bill for service would be less on another rate schedule than under this rate schedule.
$1.00 per kW of the highest monthly Maximum
Measured Demand occurring in the current month or preceding 11-month period.

Customers metered on the primary side of the transformer shall be given a 2.00 percent discount on the monthly energy charge, customer demand charge and demand charge. The PCAC and the monthly customer charge will not be eligible for the primary metering discount.
Determination of Maximum Measured Demand
The maximum measured demand in any month shall be that demand in kilowatts necessary to supply the average kilowatts in 15 consecutive minutes of greatest consumption of electricity during each month. Such maximum measured demand shall be determined from readings of permanently installed meters or, at the option of the utility, by any standard methods or meters. Said demand meter shall be reset to zero when the meter is read each month.
Determination of On-Peak Billed Demand
When the average monthly Power Factor is equal to or greater than 90.00 percent, the On-Peak Maximum Measured Demand shall be the On-Peak Billed Demand.
When the Average Monthly Power Factor is less than 90.00 percent, the On-Peak Maximum Measured Demand shall be adjusted to obtain the On-Peak Billed Demand. On-Peak Billed Demand shall be determined each month by the following formula:
The Average Power Factor is obtained by the following formula, where
| A |
monthly use of kilowatt hours |
|---|
| B |
monthly use of lagging reactive kilovolt-ampere-hours as obtained from a reactive component meter |
|---|
Any reactive component meter used shall be equipped with ratchets to prevent registration of leading power factor.
Conditions Of Delivery
- The off-peak demands of the customer shall not exceed the capacity of the facilities that the utility has providing from furnishing the customer's normal on-peak maximum measured demands. The customer shall be required to make a contribution for any additional facilities necessary for the utility to provide off-peak service in excess of the customer's normal on-peak service.
