The Power Factor Adjustment is applied by increasing the total energy and Demand charges for any month by 0.25 percent (0.25%) 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 kilovolt-ampere 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. 5. Changing Rate Schedules Customers may request a rate schedule change at any time to any City of Palo Alto full- service rate schedule as is applicable to their kilowatt-Demand and kilowatt-hour usage profile. 6. Primary Voltage Discount Where delivery is made at the same voltage as that of the line from which the Service is supplied, a discount of 2 1/2 percent for available line voltages above 2 kilovolts will be offered, but the City is not required to supply Service at a particular line voltage where it has, or will install, ample facilities for supplying at another voltage equally or better suited to the customer's electrical requirements, as determined in the City’s sole discretion. The City retains the right to change its line voltage at any time after providing reasonable advance notice to any customer receiving the discount in this section. The customer then has the option to change his system so as to receive Service at the new line voltage or to accept Service (without voltage discount) through transformers to be supplied by the City subject to a maximum kilovolt-ampere size limitation. 7. Standby Charge a. Applicability: The standby charge, subject to the exemptions in subsection D(7)(e), applies to Customers that have a non-utility generation source interconnected on the Customer’s side of the City’s revenue meter and that occasionally require backup power from the City due to non-operation of the non- utility generation source.

A separate meter is required for each non-utility generation source. d. Calculation of Maximum Demand Credit. (1) In the event the Customer’s Maximum Demand (as defined in Section D.3) occurs when one or more of the non-utility generators on the Customer’s side of the City’s revenue meter are not operating, the Maximum Demand will be reduced by the sum of the Maximum Generation of those non-utility generators, but in no event shall the Customer’s Maximum Demand be reduced below zero. (2) If the non-utility generation source does not operate for an entire billing cycle, the standby charge does not apply and the Customer shall not receive the Maximum Demand credit described in this Section. e. Exemptions. (1) The standby charge shall not apply to backup generators designed to operate only in the event of an interruption in utility Service and which are not used to offset Customer electricity purchases. (2) The standby charge shall not apply if the Customer meets the definition of an “Eligible Customer-generator” as defined in California Public Utilities Code Section 2827(b)(4), as amended.

Request for Service Qualifying customers may request Service under this schedule for more than one account or one meter if the accounts are on one site. A site shall be defined as one or more utility accounts serving contiguous parcels of land with no intervening public right-of-ways (e.g. streets) and have a common billing address. 4. Demand Meter Whenever the monthly use of energy has exceeded 8,000 kilowatt-hours for three consecutive months, a Demand meter will be installed as promptly as is practicable and thereafter continued in Service until the monthly use of energy has fallen below 6,000 kilowatt-hours for twelve consecutive months, whereupon, at the option of the City, it may be removed. The Billing Demand to be used in computing charges under this schedule will be the actual Maximum Demand in kilowatts taken during any 15-minute interval in each of the designated Time periods as defined under Section D.2. 5. Power Factor Adjustment Time of Use customers must not have had a Power Factor Adjustment assessed on their Service for at least 12 months. Power factor is calculated based on the ratio of kilowatt hours to kilovolt- ampere hours consumed during the month, and must not have fallen below 95% to avoid the Power Factor Adjustment. Should the City of Palo Alto Utilities Department find that the Customer’s Service should be subject to Power Factor Adjustments, the Customer will be removed from the E-7-TOU rate schedule and placed on another applicable rate schedule as is suitable to their kilowatt Demand and kilowatt-hour usage. 6. Changing Rate Schedules Customers electing to be served under E-7 TOU must remain on said schedule for a minimum of 12 months. Should the Customer so wish, at the end of 12 months, the Customer may request a rate schedule change to any applicable City of Palo Alto full-service rate schedule as is suitable to their kilowatt Demand and kilowatt-hour usage.

Primary Voltage Discount Where delivery is made at the same voltage as that of the line from which the Service is supplied, a discount of 2 1/2 percent for available line voltages above 2 kilovolts will be offered, but the City is not required to supply Service at a particular line voltage where it has, or will install, ample facilities for supplying at another voltage equally or better suited to the Customer's electrical requirements , as determined in the City’s sole discretion. The City retains the right to change its line voltage at any time after providing reasonable advance notice to any Customer receiving the discount in this section. The Customer then has the option to change his system so as to receive Service at the new line voltage or to accept Service (without voltage discount) through transformers to be supplied by the City subject to a maximum kilovolt-ampere size limitation. 8. Standby Charge a. Applicability: The standby charge, subject to the exemptions in subsection D(8)(e), applies to Customers that have a non-utility generation source interconnected on the Customer’s side of the City’s revenue meter and that occasionally require backup power from the City due to non-operation of the non-utility generation source. b. Standby Charges: Commodity Distribution Total Standby Charge (per kW of Reserved Capacity) Summer Period $0.84 $12.55 $13.39 Winter Period $0.72 $6.04 $6.76 c. Meters. A separate meter is required for each non-utility generation source. d. Calculation of Maximum Demand Credit. (1) In the event the Customer’s Maximum Demand occurs when one or more of the non-utility generators on the Customer’s side of the City’s revenue meter are not operating, the Maximum Demand will be reduced by the sum of the Maximum Generation of those non-utility generators, but in no event shall the Customer’s Maximum Demand be reduced below zero.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS: 1. Type of Service: This schedule is applicable to series circuit and multiple street lighting systems to which the Utility will deliver current at secondary voltage. Unless otherwise agreed, multiple current will be delivered at 120/240 volts, three-wire, single-phase. In certain localities the Utility may supply service from 120/208 volt star-connected poly-phase lines in place of 240-volt service. Single phase service from 480-volt sources will be available in certain areas at the option of the Utility when this type of service is practical from the Utility's engineering standpoint. All currents and voltages stated herein are nominal, reasonable variations being permitted. New lights will normally be supplied as multiple systems. 2. Point of Delivery: Delivery will be made to the customer's system at a point or at points mutually agreed upon. The Utility will furnish the service connection to one point for each group of lamps, provided the customer has arranged his system for the least practicable number of points of delivery. All underground connections will be made by the customer or at the customer's expense.

Switching: Switching will be performed by the Utility (on the Utility's side of points of delivery) and no charge will be made for switching provided there are at least 10 kilowatts of lamp load on each circuit separately switched, including all lamps on the circuit whether served under this schedule or not; otherwise, an extra charge of $2.50 per month will be made for each circuit separately switched unless such switching installation is made for the Utility's convenience or the customer furnishes the switching facilities and, if installed on the Utility's equipment, reimburses the Utility for installing and maintaining them. 4. Annual Burning Schedule: The above rates apply to lamps which will be turned on and off once each night in accordance with a regular burning schedule agreeable to the customer but not exceeding 4,100 hours per year. 5. Maintenance: The rates under Class C include all labor necessary for replacement of glassware and for inspection and cleaning of the same. Maintenance of glassware by the Utility is limited to standard glassware such as is commonly used and manufactured in reasonably large quantities. A suitable charge will be made for maintenance of glassware of a type entailing unusual expense. Under Class C, the rates include maintenance of circuits between lamp posts and of circuits and equipment in and on the posts, provided these are all of good standard construction; otherwise, the Utility may decline to grant Class C rates. Class C rates applied to any agency other than the City of Palo Alto also include painting of posts with one coat of good ordinary paint as required to maintain good appearance but do not include replacement of posts broken by traffic accidents or otherwise. 10. . System Owned In-Part by Utility : Where, at customer's request, the Utility installs, owns, and maintains any portion of the lighting fixtures, supports, and/or interconnecting circuits, an extra monthly charge of one and one-fourth percent of the Utility's estimate of additional investment shall be made. 11. Rates For Lamps Not on Schedule: In the event a customer installs a lamp which is not presently represented on this schedule, the Utility will prepare an interim rate reflecting the Utility's estimated costs associated with the specific lamp size. This interim rate will serve as the effective rate for billing purposes until the new lamp rating is added to Schedule E-14. {End}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
