Primary Voltage Option:
Available to any consumer for electric service supplied at one point of delivery through one meter. Not for breakdown, standby or resale service. (Three phase service, 250 kW or greater). The consumer will furnish all step-down transformers and protective devices, and will be solely responsible for ownership, maintenance and replacement of facilities beyond Utility's primary metering point to be eligible for this rate schedule option. Multiple service and metering points may only be obtained by special contract with the utility. The General Service Demand Rate is discounted by 2% for this option.

Time-of-Use Option:
Available to those consumers that can establish a lower demand during weekdays than on weekends. It is also beneficial when a lower demand can be established between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. each week day (Monday-Friday) excluding July 4th and Labor Day associated with the five (5) summer billing months of June-October. Special metering will record the demand only between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. weekdays for the purpose of determining the billing demand. An additional consumer charge of $2.50 per month per meter is charged. The Utility reserves the right to limit the availability or to discontinue this option if, in the Utility's judgment, System load or cost characteristics no longer warrant such option.

Billing Demand Determination:
The billing demand for calculation of the monthly bill will be based upon the highest actual 15 minute demand interval established between meter reading dates associated with the current billing month, but not less than eighty percent (80%) of the actual summer peak demand established during the preceding five (5) summer billing months (June-October), regardless of which fiscal year these months occur. The billing demand will also not exceed one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the actual summer peak demand during the winter billing months (November-May).

Special Metering (250 kW or greater):
Additional consumer charge of $75 per meter per month for high accuracy electronic metering when required for a special application, such as combined metering or interruptible service.

Service Period Restriction:
Any consumer receiving service under the GS-D rate schedule must receive service for a minimum period of twelve (12) consecutive billing months, or a period lasting until the consumer permanently disconnects from the system, whichever period is shorter. Any consumer that disconnects from the system prior to taking service for twelve (12) months must resume service on the GS-D rate schedule if new service is requested within two (2) years of the disconnection. The Utility will install a demand meter if it is expected that demand will equal or exceed 10 kW, or if consumption meets or exceeds 2500 kWh in any one month.

AREA SECURITY LIGHTING (SL):
Application: To any consumer for unmetered lighting service to one or more 175 watt mercury vapor lamps or 100 watt high pressure sodium lamps operating automatically every night from dusk to dawn.

Service: Utility will own and maintain, at its expense, the complete light including fixture, lamp ballast, photo cell bracket and pole. Utility will, at its expense, replace all inoperative lamps and photo cells. Replacement of lamps and glass refractors due to breakage by vandalism will be at consumer's expense.
