CONTRACT INDUSTRIAL SERVICE

12.06.260

A. AVAILABILITY:

For major industrial power use upon the execution of a written Power Service Agreement (Contract) with Tacoma Power, which shall require among other conditions:
  1. A minimum Contract Demand (as set forth in the Contract) of not less than 8,000 kilowatts;
  2. Delivery of power at one primary voltage;
  3. Metering at primary voltage but in no case at less than nominal 4,160 volts;
  4. Power factor adjustment to 95 percent lagging or better; and
  5. Service is subject to curtailment and certain notice provisions are applicable.

 

 

B. MONTHLY RATE:

The sum of the following power service, delivery, customer and other charges:

1.  Power Service Charges:

(a) Energy:

All Contract Energy (as set forth in the Contract) measured in kilowatt-hours at $0.023564 per kWh.

 

(b) Demand:
 All kilowatts of Billing Demand delivered at $3.77 per kW.
 
(c) Minimum Charge:

The Demand Charge.

(d) Contract Energy Overrun:

All energy measured in excess of the Contract Energy (as set forth in the Contract) is subject to  a Contract Energy Overrun charge, pursuant to the following formula:

Contract Energy Overrun Charge = (MWh + Losses) x (THI + Tx) x 120% where:

MWh =

the aggregate MWh over the day the customer’s total measured daily load was above the Contract Energy amount;

Losses =

MWh x 1.9%;
THI = the highest hourly price observed on the Tacoma Hourly Index within the day of overrun;
Tx = applicable BPA or successor organization, transmission rate in $ per MWh.

 

(e) Contract Demand Overrun:

A Contract Demand Overrun charge shall be imposed when the total measured demand (highest 30-minute integrated demand) exceeds the Contract Demand (as set forth in the Contract). Said charge is pursuant to the following formula:

Contract Demand Overrun Charge = MW x 300% x DC

where:

MW = MW of metered Demand in excess of the Contract Demand;

DC = Demand Charge.
 

2.  Delivery:

All kilowatts of Billing Demand delivered at $3.90 per kW.

3.  Customer Charge:

$760.00 per month or any fraction thereof.

4.  Exceptions:

(a)  Within the City of Fife:

(1)  Power Service Charges:

(i)    Energy:

All Contract Energy (as set forth in the Contract) measured in kilowatt-hours at $0.024375 per kWh.

(ii)   Demand:

All kilowatts of Billing Demand delivered at $3.90 per kW.

 

(iii)   Minimum Charge:

The Demand Charge.

 

(iv)  Contract Energy Overrun:

All energy measured in excess of the Contract Energy (as set forth in the Contract) is subject to a Contract Energy Overrun charge, pursuant to the following formula:

Contract Energy Overrun Charge = (MWh + Losses) x (THI + Tx) x 124.1319% where:

 MWh =

the aggregate MWh over the day the customer’s total measured daily load was above the Contract Energy amount;

Losses =

MWh x 1.9%;

THI =

the highest hourly price observed on the Tacoma Hourly Index within the day of overrun;

Tx =

applicable BPA or successor organization, transmission rate in $ per MWh.

 

  (v)  Contract Demand Overrun:

                                             

A Contract Demand Overrun charge shall be imposed when the total measured demand (highest 30-minute integrated demand) exceeds the  Contract Demand (as set forth in the Contract).  Said charge is pursuant to the following:

 

Contract Demand Overrun Charge  =  MW  x  300%  x  DC

where:

MW  =  MW of metered Demand in excess of the Contract Demand;

DC  =  Demand Charge.

 

(2)  Delivery: All kilowatts of Billing Demand delivered at $4.03 per kW.

              (3)  Customer Charge: $786.17 per month or any fraction thereof.
C. BILLING DEMAND:

Determined by means of a demand meter, 30-minute interval, reset monthly.
  1. The Billing Demand shall be the highest of:
         (a) The highest measured demand for the month, adjusted for power factor;

         (b) 60 percent of the highest measured demand occurring during any of the preceding 11 months after adjustment for power factor,

         (c) A demand level equal to the Contract Energy, in average megawatts (as set forth in the Contract); or

         (d) 60 percent of the highest Contract Demand (as set forth in the Contract) during any of  the preceding 11 months.


D. SUBSTATION CREDIT:

For customers who provide all of their own transformation from Tacoma Power’s transmission system voltage, a credit of 14.43 percent will be applicable to the delivery charge.


E. SERVICE CONDITIONS:

  1. Power factor provision applicable; and
  2. Applicable provisions of the Tacoma Municipal Code, General Provisions, and Customer Service Policies governing the sale of electric energy and delivery services shall apply.
