Off -Peak Demand Electric Service Rate
Federal, state, and local taxes may apply.
Minimum Bill: Maximum billing demand during previous twelve months times 3.0% of the demand
charge, or the actual demand multiplied by the demand charge, whichever is greater plus $1.00 per kW
per month of excess transformer capacity requested by customer.
Determination of Billing Demand: The billing demand shall be the highest measured demand (corrected
for power factor if required) during any fifteen (15) minute period occurring in the current billing period.
But in no month shall the billing demand be greater than the value in kW determined by dividing the
kWh sales for the billing month by 75 hours per month. This billing adjustment applies only if the
customer's peak demand DOES NOT occur between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Fluctuating Loads: Customers operating equipment having a highly fluctuating or large instantaneous
demand, such as welders and X-ray machines, shall be required to pay all non -betterment costs of
isolating the load from the balance of ERMU's system so that the load will not unduly interfere with
service on ERMU's lines. No motor larger than ten (10) HP (or 7.355 kW) will be allowed to be across -
the -line started without notification and written authorization from ERMU.
In addition, Customers who fail to provide adequate corrective equipment shall be required to own and
maintain their own transformers.
Power Factor Adjustment: For loads of 50 kW or more, or at the option of ERMU for loads of less than
50 kW, power factor adjustments will be made in the billing demand, when the power factor, as
determined by test, at the time of the Customer's maximum use is less than 98%. If the power factor, as
measured by ERMU's electric department, is lower than 98%, the monthly demand charge may be
multiplied by the ratio 98% divided by the measured power factor, or at ERMU's option, the power
factor may be corrected at the Customer's expense.
Billing and Terms of Payment: See ERMU Service Policies Policy (Billing Due Dates, and Penalties and
Delinquent Notices.)
Terms and Conditions:
1. Usage may be fractionalized on the actual days of service for application of a change in rate.
2. Service will be furnished pursuant to ERMU's rules.
3. Extensions made for service under this schedule are subject to the provisions of ERMU's rules
governing Extension of Service and Facilities.
4. The rates set forth herein may be modified by the amount of any governmental changes
imposed and levied on transmission, distribution, production, or the sale of electrical power.
5. Exceptions by management approval only.
