BILL EXAMPLE FOR SCHEDULE C
MINIMUM MONTHLY CHARGE
The minimum monthly charge shall be the facility charge plus the billing demand as defined under "Determination of Billing Demand”.
DETERMINATION OF KVA BILLING DEMAND
The billing demand shall be the maximum average kilowatt load used by the member for any period of fifteen (15) consecutive minutes during the month for which the bill is rendered as indicated or recorded by a maximum load meter installed by the REMC. An adjustment for power factor as provided below shall be applied.
When the member’s residence is served from the same service and metering installation as the power load, the first ten (10) KW of billing demand will not be billed under the demand charge.
POWER FACTOR
A billing demand adjustment will be made when the average power factor falls below 0.95 as determined by the equation:
Total Metered Reactive (RKVAH) = Tangent of Power Factor Angle
Total Metered Energy (KWH)
Average Power Factor = Cosine of Power Factor Angle
Billing Demand =
Metered Demand (KW) X 0.95
Average Power Factor (decimal)
PRIMARY METERING
The REMC reserves the right to meter on the primary or secondary side of the transformer. If the metering is on the primary side of the service transformer, two percent (2%) of the kilowatt hours so metered shall be deducted before computing the bill.
