The Suthmer Period is effective May 1 to ·October 31 and the Winter Period .is effective from
November 1 to April30. When the billing period is partly in the Summer Period and partly in the
Winter Period, the billing will be computed by prorating the total kWh usage, kW demand, and the
.i ·.applicable rates thereto between the tWo seasonal periods, according to the ratio of the number of
days in each seasonal period to the total number of days in the billing period.
3. Maximum Demand Meter
'Whenever the ·monthly use· of energy has exceeded 8,000 kilowatt-hours for three consecutive
months, a maximum demand meter will be installed as promptly as is .practicable and thereafter
continued in service until the monthly use of energy has dropped below 6,000 kilowatt-hours for
twelve consecutive months, wheJ,'eup,~, at the optio,n: ofthe City, it may be r.emoved. .: .:· '·, ..
The maximum demand in any month will be the maximum average power in kilowatts taken during
any 15-ririnute interval in the month provided that in case the load is intermittent or subject to
violent fluctuations, the City may use a 5-minute interval. A thermal-type demand meter, which
does not reset after a definite time.interval may be used at the City's option.
The billing demand to be used in computing charges under this schedule will be the actual
maximum demand in kilowatts for the current month. An exception is that the billing demand for
customers with Thermal Energy Storage (TES) will be based upon the actual maximum demand
of such customers between the hours of noon and 6 PM on weekdays;

For new or existing customers whose demand is expectedito exceed·or has exceeded 300 kilowatts

applicable metering to calculate a power factor: The City may remove such metering from •the ~
service of a customer whose demand has dropped below 209 kilowatts for four Consecutive months.
When such metering is installed, the monthly electric bill will include a "power factor penalty;'' if
applicable. The penalty adjustment will be applied to a customer's bill ·prior to the computation of
any primary voltage discount. The power factor penalty is applied by increasing the total ·energy·
and demand charges for any month by 0.25 percent or (114) for each one percent (1 %) ·that'the
monthly power factor of the customer's load was less·than 95%.
The monthly power factor is the average power factor based on the ratio of kilowatt-hours to
kilovoltampere hours consumed during the month. Where time-of-day metering is installed, the
monthly power factor shall be the power factor coincident with the customer's maximum demand.
