DETERMINATION OF BILLING DEMAND

factor as follows.
POWER FACTOR ADJUSTMENT
The consumer agrees to maintain unity power factor as nearly as practicable. The
Billing Demand will be adjusted to correct for average power factors lower than 85%
by increasing the measured demand 1% for each 1% by which the average power
factor is less than 85% lagging.
POWER COST ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE
The above rates shall be adjusted in accordance with Schedule PCA.
MINIMUM MONTHLY CHARGE
The minimum monthly charge shall be the highest one of the following charges as
determined for the consumer in question:
1. The minimum monthly charge specified in the contract for service.
2. A charge of $0.75 per kVA of installed transformer capacity.
MINIMUM ANNUAL CHARGE FOR SEASONAL SERVICE
Consumers requiring service only during certain seasons not exceeding nine months
per year may guarantee a minimum annual payment of twelve times the minimum
monthly charge determined in accordance with the foregoing section in which case
there shall be no minimum monthly charge.
CHARACTER OF SERVICE
Three-phase, 60 cycles, at standard voltages.
CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
1. Motors having a rated capacity in excess of ten horsepower (10 HP) must be
three-phase.
2. Both power and supplementary lighting may be billed at the applicable rate. If
a separate meter is required for the lighting circuit, the registrations of the two
meters shall not be added to obtain the billing units used.
3. All wiring, pole lines, and other electrical equipment beyond the metering
point, shall be considered the distribution system of the consumer and shall
be furnished and maintained by the consumer.

18% of the estimated additional investment required to extend service, which
shall include the additional cost of meters, transformers, and any additions to
or alterations of lines and equipment necessary to make service available.
Minimum charges for service shall be based on the additional investment only
when this results in greater charges than those based on the kVA transformer
capacity. In all other cases, the minimum charges shall be based on kVA of
transformer capacity as herein before provided.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
