ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RIDER

Purpose - The primary purpose of this rider is to enhance economic development in the Board of Water and Light (BWL) service area. It will be offered to customers when, in the utility's judgment, the availability of the rider is a major factor for the customer locating or expanding its operations and when the rider will result in a net benefit to the BWL and its customers.

Availability - This rider is available to industrial customers on Large General Electric Service Rate No. 4 or Primary Electric Service Rate No. 5 or Large Capacity Electric Service Rate No. 8. For purposes of this rider, an industrial customer is defined as any business that manufactures a product for sale or research and development. This would include usage for facilities directly associated with and on the same premises as the manufacturing business such as offices and warehouses. A customer desiring service under this rider must contract for such service on or before December 31, 2003. This rate will be available for a period of five years from the date of the contract. All provisions of this rider are the same as the principal service rate with the following exceptions:

New Customer - A new customer is a new industrial customer taking service on or after January 1, 1991, where the new load results in 100 kW or more of billing demand.

Existing Customer - An existing customer is an existing industrial customer who contracts for a bona fide increase in connected load resulting in an increase of 100 kW, or 10% of their historical billing demand, whichever is greater, or more of billing demand on or after January 1, 1991.

Monthly Rate

The BWL reserves the right to establish a contracted historical billing demand for all customers with duplicate or replacement operations within the BWL service area.

Billing Demand - For a new customer, the entire billing demand shall be subject to the capacity charge in this rider and shall never be less than 100 kW or subject to the 60% provision. For an existing customer, or a new customer with an established contracted historical billing demand, the contracted historical billing demand shall be billed at the capacity charge in the customer's principal service rate. Only the billing demand in excess of the contracted historical billing demand shall be billed at the capacity charge in this rider and shall not be subject to the 60% provision.

Minimum Charge - A new customer shall have a minimum billing demand of 100 kW. A customer, with an established contracted historical billing demand, shall have a minimum billing demand equal to 60% of the contracted historical billing demand.

Adopted: Proposed

Effective: August 10, 2000

 


ENERGY COST ADJUSTMENT

The Energy Cost Adjustment permits the monthly adjustment of rates for the costs of energy incurred in supplying electricity to retail customers. All residential and general service rates are subject to the Energy Cost Adjustment. In applying the Energy Cost Adjustment the applicable rate per kWh shall be increased or decreased by the amount of the current Energy Cost Adjustment. The following definitions and procedures will be followed in calculating the monthly Energy Cost Adjustment.

Definitions

Energy Cost Adjustment - the amount per kWh by which the applicable rates shall be adjusted for billing in each month.

Energy Costs - those costs incurred in supplying retail electricity. Such costs include fuel burned, energy costs associated with firm power purchases, net interchange power costs, and costs associated with other temporary power transactions. The cost of fuel burned shall include the delivered cost of fuel (base cost, escalations, premiums/penalties, transportation, demurrage), outside lab fees and other outside costs related to fuel procurement, and fuel additives such as freeze proofing.

Over/Under Recovery - the difference between actual Energy Costs for prior months and the amount of energy cost recovered by means of the Base Cost of Energy and the Energy Cost Adjustment. The Over/Under Recovery shall be added to the Energy Costs for purposes of computing the Energy Cost Adjustment for each month.

Base Cost of Energy - the average Energy Cost included in the energy rates of the various rate schedules. Such amount shall not be recovered by means of the Energy Cost Adjustment. The current Base Cost of Energy is $0.017921 per kWh sold.

Procedures

Estimated Energy Cost shall be projected for a twelve-month period. Any amount of Over/Under Recovery (positive or negative) shall be added to the Energy Cost to determine the total cost basis for the Energy Cost Adjustment. The total cost basis shall be divided by the projected total retail billed sales for the twelve-month period resulting in the average energy cost per kWh. The Base Cost of Energy shall be subtracted from the average energy cost to result in the Energy Cost Adjustment.

The Energy Cost Adjustment shall be reviewed and, as necessary, revised periodically in accordance with the provisions of this schedule, but not less frequently than every twelve months.

Effective February 2, 1999, through February 2, 2003, the Energy Cost Adjustment is frozen at $0.001000 per kWh. Thus, the total cost of fuel and purchased power charged to customers is set at $0.018921 per kWh (Base 0.017921 + ECA 0.001000).

Adopted: 1/26/99

Effective: 2/1/99

 


SCHEDULED CURTAILMENT/INTERRUPTIBLE SERVICE RIDER

The amount of curtailable or interruptible demand subject to this rider may be limited by the Commissioners in total and by customer.

Conditions of Curtailment/Interruption- The Commissioners may determine the total kW demand subject to this rider. The General Manager has authorization to negotiate with qualifying customers as to the following terms and conditions of this rider; [1] the customer kW demand subject to interruption or curtailment, [2] metering requirements, [3] the duration of any interruption or curtailment, [4] the notice period, and, [5] buy through provisions (if any).

The contract with the customer will contain the conditions under which the BWL will require curtailment or interruption. Any reduced rate available will include some contribution to fixed costs and depend upon the customer’s individual circumstances.

The customer agrees to pay $50 per kW for the highest 15-minute kW demand created during the curtailed or interrupted period plus replacement energy out of pocket cost plus 10% should the customer choose not to curtail or interrupt electric load.

Definitions

Curtailed load - The customer agrees to reduce electric load upon notice from the BWL.

Interrupted load - The customer agrees to receive no electricity upon notice from the BWL.
