RATE SCHEDULE “29” DEMAND TIME OF USE
AVAILABILITY Available to all services under 250kW The following service characteristics exclude the service from eligibility:
1. Services that possess sub-meters. 2. Accounts enrolled in load management programs that offer a rebate or incentive over and above the offerings within this rate.
TYPE OF SERVICE Single phase service, 60 hertz, through one meter at standard secondary voltage, or other voltage as may be mutually agreed upon.
RATE SUMMER WINTER
(May – September) (October – April)
Monthly Base Charge $23.00/month $23.00/month
Energy/Usage Charge: $0.03323./kWh* $0.03323/kWh*
Peak Charge: $14.00/kW $14.00/kW
As determined by the highest hourly usage during the following hours:
4:00 PM – 7:00 PM 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Grid Capacity Charge: $2.50/kW** $2.50/kW**
*to be superseded by the current CPEC rate, plus line loss, plus tax
**based on the service’s highest peak in the last 12 months. This is true even at initial enrollment which means that peaks set prior to enrollment will be used in the calculation of this amount.
DETERMINATION OF THE PEAK CHARGE: The Peak Charge shall be the maximum kilowatt (kW) demand shall be determined by summing the four, 15-minute interval reads in each of the hours within the demand window. The highest hour within the month will become the kW value used to calculate the peak charge. Only valid meter reads will be used for billing purposes.
MONTHLY MINIMUM CHARGE: The monthly basic service charge of $20.00 is required. In addition, a Grid Capacity Charge will be billed monthly and be based on the highest kW set by the service in the preceding 12 months (this includes the 11 months preceding the enrollment month. This is a rolling twelve months so each new bill that generates will incorporate the newest monthly peak demand reading while the oldest will fall off.
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS AND METERING: The service transformer size will be determined by CEC. A meter capable of establishing consistent, reliable cellular communications to CEC’s collector is required.
POWER FACTOR ADJUSTMENT: The consumer agrees to maintain as near unity power factor as practicable. CEC reserves the right to measure such power factor at any time. Should such measurements indicate that the average power factor is less than 90%, the demand for billing purposes shall be the demand as recorded by the demand meter multiplied by 90% and divided by the percent power factor. The average power factor shall be determined by dividing the kilowatt hours used during the month by the square root of the sum of the squares of the kilowatt hours used and the lagging kilovolt-ampere-hours supplied during the month.
MOTOR LIMITATIONS: All single-phase motors in excess of 5 HP and three phase motors in excess of 15 HP may be required to be provided with adequate reduced voltage or current limiting starting equipment as recommended by various manufacturers. The consumer shall be required to contact CEC in order to determine whether the motor can be started across the line or to what value the starting current must be limited to.
It shall be the responsibility of all consumers to install phase failure equipment in multi-phase motor installations.
CONTINUITY OF PROGRAM AND PARTICIPATION:
1. The Cooperative reserves the right to adjust pilot rates as needed, and although there is no current outlook for termination of the program such action could occur at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
2. The customer, having selected one rate schedule, will continue to be billed under such schedule for not less than 12 consecutive months unless there should be a material and permanent change in the customer’s use of service or in the terms offered by CEC. A Board-approved change to the rate schedule/policy is considered a change in the terms offered by CEC.
3. An agreement, signed by the member, that outlines the terms and administration of the program will be required prior to participation.
