Lewis County PUDSchedule 31
PRIMARY POWER SERVICE
AVAILABILITY:
Service is available at unregulated primary voltages of 7.2 KV and above at one or more points of delivery for industrial and large commercial use where the connected load is in excess of 1,000 kilowatts, and the user owns, or has the use of, primary distribution or high voltage transmission facilities, including transformers, and assumes other responsibilities under Schedule 31 as referenced in Resolution No. 1366, and provided further that, in the judgment of the Manager, the District has adequate transmission, distribution and power supply resources to serve the proposed customer. This schedule is available only to customers that execute a power supply contract with the District for a period of not less than five years. Loads that are determined to be New Large Single Loads by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) are not eligible for service under this Schedule 31.
CHARACTER OF SERVICE:
Service delivered under this Schedule 31 shall be three phase, 60 cycle, alternating current at the primary voltage to be specified by the District. Energy and demand amounts (kilowatt-hours and kilowatts) will be measured by meters located at or near the point(s) of delivery.
RATE:
Energy Charge:
$0.03107 per kilowatt hour, plus
Demand Charge:
$4.97 per kilowatt per month of heavy load hour (HLH) billing demand
$2.92 per kilowatt per month for each kilowatt the light load hour (LLH) billing
demand exceeds the HLH billing demand
For service delivered under this Schedule 31 where the District does not own, operate, or maintain high voltage electric transmission and/or distribution facilities for delivery of the demand and energy, the following Demand Charge will apply:
Demand Charge:
$2.81 per kilowatt per month of heavy load hour (HLH) billing demand
$.94 per kilowatt per month for each kilowatt the light load hour (LLH) billing
demand exceeds the HLH billing demand
HLH and LLH shall have the meaning given such terms is the then applicable BPA General Rate Schedule Provisions.
MINIMUM CHARGE:
The minimum charge shall be $500.00 per month.
DETERMINATION OF DEMAND:
The HLH billing demand for the month shall be the average kilowatt delivery of the thirty-minute interval in which the utilization of electrical energy is greater than in any other thirty-minute interval in that month during the HLH period. The LLH billing demand for the month shall be the amount by which the average kilowatt delivery of the thirty-minute interval in which the utilization of electrical energy is greater than in any other thirty-minute interval in that month during the LLH period exceeds the HLH billing demand for such month.
For customers with more than one metered points of delivery, the HLH and LLH billing demand for the month shall be the sum of the demand amounts for all such meters measured coincidentally during the thirty minute interval when the monthly peak demand occurs on any one of the meters during the HLH and LLH periods respectively. Where the load is subject to excessive fluctuation, the demand measuring interval may be five minutes at the option of the District. The demand is to be expressed in kilowatts to the nearest kilowatt.
The District’s Manager may waive all or a portion of the purchaser’s Demand Charge for a month if the purchaser’s HLH billing demand was not coincident with the hour used by the BPA to calculate the District’s demand charge for such month.
POWER FACTOR:
Purchaser’s billing demand shall be subject adjustment pursuant to Schedule 82.
TAX ADDITIONS:
The above rate, including both the Energy Charge and the Demand Charge, is subject to proportional increases to compensate for any gross revenue, kilowatt hour, or other form of tax imposed by any municipal, state or federal taxing body after the date of adoption of Resolution No. 2481, in accordance with provisions of Schedule X-2.
