Large Power Service — Schedule LPS-06

Printable version in PDF format

Availability:
To all qualified customers in the area served by the Cooperative.

Applicability:
To customers with a connected load of 900 kW or greater and with a measured load of less than 5,000 kW, and a billing load factor of 65% or greater taking delivery at a standard voltage at a single point of delivery. Load factor shall be computed annually using the 12 months ending September 30 of the previous year. This requirement will be satisfied if both conditions are met in either of the past two years. Customers not previously served by the Cooperative may satisfy this requirement with estimates developed by the Cooperative. Billing load factor shall be computed as the amount of energy consumed during the previous 12-month period divided by the product of the customer's average demand coincident with the Georgia Transmission Corporation's 5 highest demands occurring during the 12 months ending September 30 of the previous year and the number of hours in the 12-month period. No services rendered hereunder may be resold, nor transmitted to other premises, either directly or indirectly, without the express consent of the Cooperative.

Monthly Rate:

Wholesale Cost Adjustment:
The bill calculated at the above rate shall be increased or decreased subject to the provisions of the Cooperative's wholesale power cost adjustment Schedule P.

Facilities Charge:
An amount equal to (1/12) of the Cooperative's annual cost of providing service, which may include the following components:

Capital Costs - Direct and Allocated Plant
Operation and Maintenance
Taxes
Administrative & General
Customer Accounting
Customer Service
Sales

Line Loss Charge:
An amount equal to (1/12) of the Cooperative's annual cost of energy losses incurred for customers that are served from a secondary voltage. Transformation and line losses from the wholesale point of delivery may be calculated using engineering analyses prepared by the Cooperative and the cost of such losses added to the customer's bill. The charge will be reviewed periodically to consider any changes in the cost of the energy losses.

Reactive Demand:
Where there is an indication of a power factor of less than 95% lagging, the Cooperative may at its option install metering equipment to measure Reactive Demand. The Reactive Demand shall be the highest 60-minute kVAR measured during the month. The Excess Reactive Demand shall be kVAR which is in excess of one-third the measured actual kW in the current. The Cooperative will bill excess kVAR at the rate of $0.30 per excess kVAR.

Determination of Non-Coincident Billing Demand:
The Non-Coincident billing demand by measurement of the highest 60-minute kW demand during the current month and the preceding eleven (11) months. shall be the highest of the following:

1. For the months of June through September (summer months):

a. 100% of the current month demand.
b. 90% of the highest previous summer month demand.
c. 65% of the highest previous winter month demand.

2. For the months of October through May (winter months):

a. 90% of the highest previous summer month demand.
b. 65% of the highest previous winter month demand.

Determination of Coincident Peak Billing Demand:
For monthly billings from January through the following December, the monthly Coincident Peak billing demand shall be the greater of:

1. The average of the customer's sixty-minute demands measured coincident with Georgia Transmission Corporation's 5 highest demands during peak period notification hours occurring during the 12 months ending September 30 of the previous year.
2. 30% of the customer's highest demand occurring during the 12 months ending September 30 of the previous year.

For existing customers applying for the LPS Rate and not previously metered on an hourly basis, the Coincident Peak billing demand shall be based on estimates developed by the Cooperative.

Terms of Payment:
If the account is not paid by the due date, a late fee in the amount specified in the Service Rules and Regulations may be added to the account. Further failure to pay a bill may subject a customer to disconnection and/or disconnection charges in accordance with the Cooperative's rules and regulations.

All charges are subject to applicable taxes.

Minimum Monthly Charge:
The sum of:

1. The greater of $7.50 per kW of (a) the highest demand measured during the billing months June through September or (b) 65% of the highest demand measured during the billing months October through May, and
2. Line Loss Charge, and
