Transcription

1 Availability DECATUR COUNTY RURAL ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION GREENSBURG, INDIANA SCHEDULE IPS-I-3 INDUSTRIAL POWER SERVICE - INTERRUPTIBLE Available in all of the territory served by the Corporation, subject to the Corporation's Rules and Standards for Electric Service. Applicability Applicable to consumers supplied at a single location who meet the following requirements for service: 1. Service to the consumer must qualify under the requirements set forth in the Interruptible Power Tariff No. 2 of Hoosier Energy Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Hoosier Energy) and include a contract for interruptible service. 2. The consumer's minimum monthly 30 minute demand must be at least 500 kw. Effective Date This Tariff shall become effective July 1, 2014 and shall remain in effect until revised, amended, or otherwise changed by the Corporation s Board of Directors. Type of Service Service shall be three phase, 60 hertz, at available standard voltages. Under this tariff, Hoosier Energy may request that the Consumer interrupt its service at any time and for any reason during the period between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time daily. During periods of interruption, the Consumer would reduce its Maximum Demand during the interruption period to the Firm Contract Demand. Requests for interruption shall not exceed five hundred (500) hours during a 12-month period nor shall any single request for interruption be for less than thirty (30) minutes or for more than ten (10) hours per calendar day, with unlimited requests for interruption per calendar day within these parameters. The total number of hours of interruption will be measured from April 1 each year to March 31 each respective following year. Hoosier Energy may request or cancel an interruption at any time during an hour, but shall give no less than one (1) hour notice when either requesting or canceling an interruption. Monthly Rate Service Availability: $ per month Demand Charge: $ per kw of Billing Demand $ per kw of Interruptible Demand Page 1 of 5

2 Energy Charge: On-Peak $ per kwh Off-Peak $ per kwh Excess Net kvarh Charge $ per kvarh Non-Coincident Demand Non-Coincident Demand is the highest fixed 30 minute demand during the On-Peak Demand Period of the month expressed in kilowatts, or 5000 kw, whichever is greater. The On-Peak Demand Period is defined as between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. when Eastern Standard Time is observed and between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. when Eastern Daylight Savings Time is observed. During interruption, the Non-Coincident Demand requirement of 500 kw will be waived. Energy On-Peak For the months of June through August, excluding Independence Day, On-Peak Energy shall be all kilowatt-hours used during the period of 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, Eastern Daylight Savings Time, daily. For the months of December through February, excluding Christmas Day and New Years Day, On-Peak Energy shall be all kilowatt-hours used during the periods of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, Eastern Standard Time, daily. Off-Peak Off-Peak Energy shall be all kilowatt-hours used during all hours other than On-Peak hours as described above. Power Factor Adjustment The consumer agrees to maintain an average unity power factor as nearly as practicable. The Corporation reserves the right to measure such power factor at any time. If the power factor (leading or lagging) at the time of the Non-Coincident Demand is determined to be less than 97%, the Non-Coincident Demand shall be adjusted separately by multiplying the Non-Coincident Demand by the ratio of the current target power factor percent (97%) and the measured actual power factor percent at the time of the Non-Coincident Demand. If the Average Monthly Power Factor (leading or lagging) is determined to be less than 95 percent, the Excess Net kvarh subject to the Excess Net kvarh Charge is the difference between the actual measured Net kvarh amount and a calculated Net kvarh based upon the recorded kwh for the month and the targeted average monthly power factor of 95 percent. Interruptible Demand Page 2 of 5

3 Interruptible Demand is defined as the Non-Coincident Demand, expressed in kilowatts, with Power Factor Adjustment, in excess of the Firm Contract Demand for the month with the minimum being 500 kw. Firm Contract Demand Firm Contract Demand is defined as the amount of 30-minute demand, expressed in kilowatts, which the consumer contracts for minimum demand usage during the time of curtailment or interruption. The Firm Contract Demand quantity can be changed at customer s request no more than once annually, provided that such request is submitted to Hoosier Energy no later than the last day of the month prior to the service anniversary date. Notification of Curtailment Hoosier Energy shall provide no less than one (1) hour advance notice to the consumer before intentional curtailing or interruption of service is necessary for the contracted interruptible load. Non-Compliance Charge If the Non-Coincident Demand expressed in kw is greater than the Firm Contract Demand during any measured 30-minute demand interval when an interruption is called for by Hoosier Energy, the Consumer will be assessed a noncompliance charge of $10.00 per kw of Non-Compliance Demand for the billing period. Furthermore, if during any measured 30-minute fixed demand interval, the Non-Coincident Demand expressed in kw is greater than the Firm Contract Demand by 10 percent during any curtailment or interruption period for an individual consumer, then the consumer shall not be eligible for this tariff for the next 12-month period starting with the first billing month after the month of failure to comply Non-Compliance Demand If the maximum Non-Coincident Demand exceeds the contracted Firm Demand during a curtailment period, the Non-Compliance Demand, expressed in kw, is the difference between the maximum Non-Coincident Demand occurring during curtailment and the Firm Demand. Minimum Monthly Charge The minimum monthly charge shall be the greatest of: 1. A charge of $1.00 per kva of required transformer capacity. 2. The contract minimum. 3. The applicable facilities charge, if any, plus the customer charge and the demand charge. Loss Compensation Page 3 of 5

4 The demand and energy charges are based upon service metered at the Corporation's primary distribution voltage and do not reflect any compensation for transformation losses. Demand and energy lost compensation adjustments shall be applied when metering is at a secondary distribution voltage: Demand Compensation Adj. Energy Compensation Adj. $0.10 per kw of Billing Demand $ per kwh Other Wholesale Charges and Adjustments In addition to the base wholesale demand and energy charges which are included in the demand and energy charges of the Monthly Rate, the consumer shall pay all other charges billed the Corporation by Hoosier Energy for service hereunder pursuant to Hoosier Energy's Interruptible Power Tariff No. 2. Wholesale Rate Changes Should there be any changes in the Hoosier Energy Interruptible Power Tariff No. 2 under which the Corporation purchases power for service hereunder, the charges and provisions of shall change correspondingly such that the change in wholesale power cost is passed through to the consumer. Power Cost Adjustment See Appendix "A" Terms and Conditions of Service 1. The applicant will be required to give satisfactory assurance by means of a written agreement as to the character, amount, and duration of the business offered. 2. In general, individual motors rated in excess of twenty (20) horsepower must be three phase. 3. Any transformers and regulation equipment which may be required for incidental lighting shall be furnished by the consumer. 4. In those cases where the consumer is not located where three phase service is available, and the Corporation elects to extend its facilities to make such service available, the Rules and Standards for Electric Service shall apply. 5.
