The following rates apply to commercial, industrial, governmental, and other locations with loads of less than 75 kW. The service is taken from one point and measured through one meter. It is single or three phase, 60 Hertz and an alternating current at any one of the standard secondary service voltages as described in RPU's published Electric Service Rules and Regulations.
General Service – Time of Use Rate
Definition of On-peak Energy: All energy used by the customer between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Definition of Off-peak Energy: All energy used by the customer that is not on-peak energy.
The non-summer months are January through May and October through December. Summer months are June through September.
Bills computed under this rate schedule are subject to adjustment in accordance with the Power Supply Adjustment (PSA).
* Customer Charge: Plus any additional meter charge for costs above RPU's standard GS meter costs.
Medium General Service - Time of Use
This rate applies to all locations (commercial, industrial, governmental and others) where the demand is at least 75 kW or more for three or more billing periods in a given calendar year, but less than 1,000 kW. The service is taken from one point and measured through one meter. It is single or three phase, 60 Hertz and an alternating current at any one of the standard secondary service voltages.
Medium General Service - Time of Use Rate
Meter Charge: Any additional meter charge for costs above RPU's standard MGS meter costs.
Definition of On-peak Demand: The maximum kW used by the customer in any fifteen-minute period between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Definition of Off-peak Demand: The maximum kW used by the customer in any fifteen-minute period during the off-peak period.
The non-summer months are January through May and October through December. Summer months are June through September.
The customer agrees to maintain an average power factor of 0.95 or greater for the billing period and to prevent a leading power factor. If the customer's average power factor is less than 0.95 for the billing period, the billing demand will be determined by multiplying the measured demand by 0.95 and dividing the results by the customer's average power factor. The average power factor is defined to be the quotient obtained by dividing the kWh used during the month by the square root of the sum of the squares of the kWh used and the lagging reactive kilovoltampere-hours supplied during the same period. The customer's average power factor will be determined by means of permanently installed meters.
Bills computed under this rate schedule are subject to adjustment in accordance with the Power Supply Adjustment (PSA).
Customers approved for metering at 13.8 kV will receive a discount of 1.25% on base rate charges for measured demand and energy.
Customers owning transformers will receive a credit of $.20 per kW on each month's measured demand.
