2. Connected Load: Connected load is the sum of the rated capacities of all of the customer's
equipment that it is possible to connect to the Utility's lines at the same time, determined
to the nearest 1/10 hp. In no case will charges be based on less than 2 hp for single-phase
service or no less than 3 hp for three-phase service. The rated capacity of the customer's
equipment will be the rated horsepower output of standard rated motors, and the rated
kilovolt -ampere input capacity of other equipment, with each kilovolt -ampere of input
considered equal to one horsepower. Normally such ratings will be based on the
manufacturer's rating as shown on the nameplate or elsewhere but may, at the option of
the Utility, be based on tests or other reliable information.
3. Overloaded Motors: Whenever, upon test, any motor under normal operating conditions
is found to be delivering more than 115 percent of its capacity as indicated by its nameplate
rating, the Utility may disregard the nameplate rating and base its charges upon the output
as calculated from test. Any motor which is billed on a basis in excess of its nameplate
rating in accordance with this special condition shall be rested at intervals to be determined
by the Utility or upon notification by the customer of a permanent change in operating
conditions.
4. Temporary Reduction of Connected Load: Where the use of energy is seasonal or
intermittent, no adjustment will be made for any temporary reduction of connected load.
Any customer, prior to resuming service on such connected load within 12 months after
it was disconnected, will be required to pay all charges which would have been billed if
the temporary reduction of connected load had not been made.
5. In -Lieu Tax and Franchise Payments: The base rates and charges have been increased by

2. Billing Demand: The billing demand shall be the kilowatts of maximum demand but not
less than 50 % of the highest maximum demand established in the preceding eleven months,
however, in no case shall the billing demand be less than 75 kW. Billing demand shall be
determined to the nearest kW.
3. Maximum Demand: The maximum demand in any month shall be the measured maximum
average kilowatt input, indicated or recorded by instruments to be supplied by the Utility,
during any 15-minute metered interval in the month. Where demand is intermittent or
subject to violent fluctuations, a 5-minute interval may be used.
4. Power Factor Adjustment: When the billing demand has exceeded 200 kW for three
consecutive months, a kilovar-hour meter will be installed as soon as practical, and,
thereafter, until the billing demand has been less than 150 kW for twelve consecutive
months, the charges will be adjusted each month for power factor, as follows:
The charges will be increased by 20.6 cents per kilovar of maximum reactive demand
imposed on the Utility in excess of 33 percent of the maximum number of kilowatts.
The kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying the kilowatts of
measured maximum demand by the ratio of the kilovar-hours to the kilowatt-hours.
Demand in kilowatts and kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A ratchet device
will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operation on leading
power factors.
5. Te=orary Discontinuance of Service: Where the use of energy is seasonal or
intermittent, no adjustments will be made for a temporary discontinuance of service. Any
stomer, prior to resuming service within twelve months after such service was
discontinued, will be required to pay all charges which would have been billed if service
had not been discontinued.

9. Contract Demand: A contract demand will be established by the Utility, based on
applicant's demand requirements for any customer of record on this schedule who requests
an increase or decrease in transformer capacity in accordance with the Light and Power
Department Rules for Electric Service. A contract demand arrangement is available upon
request for all customers of record on this schedule. Contract demand is based upon the

kW.
3. Maximum Demand: The maximum demands shall be established for the on -peak, mid -
peak, and off-peak periods. The maximum demand for each period shall be the measured

4. Voltage Discount: The charges including adjustment will be reduced by 3 % for service
delivered and metered at voltages of from 2 kV through 10 kV; by 4 % for service
delivered and metered at voltages of from 11 kV through 50 kV; and by 5 % for service
delivered and metered at voltages over 50 kV; except that when only one transformation
from a transmission voltage level is involved, a customer normally entitled to a 3 %
discount will be entitled to a 4 % discount.
5. Power Factor Adjustment:
a. Service Delivered and Metered at 4 kV or Greater: The charges will be adjusted
each month for reactive demand as follows:
The charges will be increased by 20.6 cents per kilovar of maximum reactive demand
imposed on the Utility in excess of 20 percent of the maximum number of kilowatts.
The maximum reactive demand shall be the highest measured maximum average
kilovar demand indicated or recorded by metering to be supplied by the Utility
during any 15-minute metered interval in the month. The kilovars shall be
determined to the nearest unit. A ratchet device will be installed on each kilovar
meter to prevent reverse operation of the meter.
b. Service Delivered and Metered at Less than 4 kV: The charges will be adjusted each
month for the power factor as follows:
The charges will be increased by 20.6 cents per kilovar of maximum reactive demand
imposed on the Utility in excess of 20 percent of the maximum number of kilowatts.
The kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying the kilowatts of
measured maximum demand by the ratio of the kilovar-hours to the kilowatt-hours.
Demand in kilowatts and kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit. A rachet
device will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operation on
leading power factors.
6. Temporary Discontinuance of Service: Where the use of energy is seasonal or
intermittent, no adjustments will be made for a temporary discontinuance of service. Any
customer, prior to resuming service within twelve months after such service was
discontinued, will be required to pay all charges which would have been billed if service
had not been discontinued.

customers of record on this schedule. Contract demand is based upon the nominal kilovolt -
ampere rating of the Utility's serving transformer(s) or the standard transformer size
determined by the Utility as required to serve the customer's stated measurable kilowatt
demand, whichever is less and is expressed in kilowatts.
9. Minimum Demand Charge: Where a non -time related maximum demand or contract
demand is established, a monthly minimum demand charge shall be $1.03 per kilowatt of
contract demand.
10. Public Benefits Charge: A mandatory Public Benefits Charge has been assessed pursuant
to Assembly Bill 1890, signed into law by the Governor on September 20, 1996. The
charge is 2.85 percent of the total bill before any special fees or charges. In accordance

be assessed through January 1, 2012.
11. In -Lieu of Tax and Franchise Payments: The base rates and charges have been increased
by 3 percent to reflect payments in -lieu of tax and franchise payments.
12. Voltage: Service will be supplied at one standard voltage.
13. Removal or Modification of Equipment: Where transformers or facilities for services are
ordered removed or modified by a customer and such services are restored within 36
