General Conditions:
a. Facilities Charge
The Facilities Charge shall be based on the highest demand recorded in the last 12 months, but not less than 4 kW.
b. Selection of Rates
(1) The Department requires mandatory service under Rate B for single-family residential service with an on-site transformer dedicated solely to that individual customer.
(2) If a customer is not a single-family residential service with an on-site transformer dedicated solely to that individual customer in accordance with conditions as set forth in Section 4.b.(1), above, a customer may choose to receive service either under Rate A or B. However, when a customer served under Rate B requests a change to Rate A, that customer may not revert to Rate B before 12 months have elapsed.
(3) The customer shall be placed on Schedule A-2 or A-3 whose Maximum Demand either:
- Reaches or exceeds 30 kW in any three billing months or two bimonthly billing periods during the preceding 12 month period
- Reaches or exceeds 30 kW during two High Season billing months or one High Season bimonthly billing period within a calendar year
c. Load Factor
Load factor is a ratio between average usage and peak usage over a given period. A high load factor has a relative low kW demand with higher kWh usage, which leads to an overall lower cost per kWh. A low load factor has a relatively high kW demand with lower kWh usage, which leads to an overall higher cost per kWh. Commercial customers may be able to save money if they can improve their load factor.
d. Electric Vehicle Discount
Owners of licensed passenger or commercial electric vehicles shall be entitled to a discount on the block of energy designated by the Department as necessary for basic vehicle charging. Proof of vehicle registration and charging location is required.

General Conditions:
a. Reactive Energy Charge
The Reactive Energy Charge shall be based on the lagging kilovar-hours (kvarh) recorded during each Rating Period, dependent upon the High Peak Period Power Factor. If reactive energy is unknown or unmetered, then the Reactive Energy Charge shall be replaced by additional kilowatt-hour charges.
b. Maximum Demand
The Maximum Demand is the average kilowatt load to the nearest one-tenth kilowatt during the 15-minute period of greatest use during a billing period, as recorded by the Department's meter. Demand is another term for power and is expressed in units of kilowatt.
In cases where demand is intermittent or subject to severe fluctuations, the Department may establish the Maximum Demand on the basis of measurement over a shorter interval of time or the kilowatt-amperes of installed transformer capacity required to meet the customer's load.
c. Demand Charge
The Demand Charge shall be based on the Maximum Demand recorded at any time during the billing month.
d. Facilities Charge
The Facilities Charge shall be based on the highest demand recorded in the last 12 months, but not less than 30 kW.
e. Load Factor
Load factor is a ratio between average usage and peak usage over a given period. A high load factor has a relative low kW demand with higher kWh usage, which leads to an overall lower cost per kWh. A low load factor has a relatively high kW demand with lower kWh usage, which leads to an overall higher cost per kWh. Commercial customers may be able to save money if they can improve their load factor.
f. Electric Vehicle Discount
Owners of licensed passenger or commercial electric vehicles shall be entitled to a discount on the block of energy designated by the Department as necessary for basic vehicle charging. Proof of vehicle registration and charging location is required.
g. Metering
Metering of energy and demand shall normally be provided by the Department at the primary side of the transformer, or at the Department’s option, on the secondary side of the transformer and compensated by instruments or loss calculations to the primary side of the transformer, as provided in the Department’s Rules.
h. Selection of Rates
Customers shall be placed on the applicable rate under Schedule A-1 if demand, as determined for the Facilities Charge, drops below 30 kW.
