Availability
This schedule is available on a voluntary and limited basis, at the Cooperative’s option. This rate shall be limited to the availability of appropriate meters and will be limited further by the saturation and/or impact on the Cooperative’s electric system of consumers utilizing this Rate Schedule in a general area.
Applicability
Applicable to those three-phase and single-phase consumers whose monthly demand has exceeded 25 KW at least once during the most recent twelve months.
Type of Service
Service under this schedule shall be single-phase or three-phase, 60 cycles, at one of the following voltages: 120/240, 120/208, or 240/480. Motors having a rated capacity in excess of 10 horsepower must be three-phase. However, single-phase motors in excess of 10 horsepower may be served under this Schedule provided the consumer installs a phase converter for the operation of the same. Motors having a rated capacity of 20 or more horsepower must have reduced voltage starters.
Monthly Rate

Condition of Service
Prior to the procurement of electric motors and actual service connection thereto, the consumer shall consult with the Cooperative to verify service characteristics and agree on service conditions. The consumer shall install or have installed protective devices on all electric motors and equipment to protect same in case the supply of electricity shall fail or be interrupted, or become defective through the act of God, or the public enemy, or state, municipal, or public authority, or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Cooperative. The Cooperative shall not be liable for such failure, interruption, or defect.
Determination of Billing Demand
The On-Peak Billing Demand shall be the maximum kilowatt demand established by the consumer during a 15-minute interval, during on-peak hours, within the month for which the bill is rendered, as indicated or recorded by a demand meter and adjusted for power factor. The Maximum Monthly Billing Demand shall be the maximum kilowatt demand established by the consumer during a 15-minute interval, during all hours, within the month for which the bill is rendered, as indicated or recorded by a demand meter and adjusted for power factor.
Power Factor Adjustment
The consumer agrees to maintain a unity power factor as nearly as practicable. Demand charges will be adjusted for consumers with 50 kW or more of measured demand to correct for an average power factor lower than 90 percent, and may be so adjusted for other consumers if the Cooperative deems it necessary. Such adjustments will be made by increasing the measured demand by 1 percent for each 1 percent so that the average power factor is less than 90 percent lagging.
