DETERMINATION OF BILLING DEMAND

percent of the highest 15-minute integrated kilowatt demand occurring in any of the preceding
eleven months, whichever is greater, shall be used for billing purposes, except that the billing
demand shall not in any case be less than 50 percent of the maximum kilowatt capacity contracted
for nor less than 25 kilowatts.
POWER FACTOR
The consumer agrees to maintain unity power factor as nearly as practicable. The Cooperative
reserves the right to measure the power factor. Should such measurements indicate that the
average power factor is less than 90 percent, demand for billing purposes shall be the demand as
indicated or recorded by the demand meter multiplied by 90 percent and divided by the percent
power factor. Such adjustments to measured demand shall be made until subsequent tests
indicate an improvement in power factor. Tests shall be made at the request of the consumer
upon completion of remedial measures.

PRIMARY SERVICE
A discount of 5 percent of the total bill excluding the purchased power cost adjustment charge

one-tenth mill or major fraction thereof by which the Cooperative's average cost of purchased
power sold during the most recent month exceeds or is less than 4.8 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Adjustment for over or under recovery shall be made in the succeeding month. If the charges
paid by the Cooperative for wholesale power are retroactively reduced, the Cooperative will
recalculate the charges for electric service and adjust the next month's bill to consumers to reflect
the excess collected, or seek the approval of the Public Service Commission for any other method
of refund.
PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY FRANCHISE TAX

at the time, and at the end of the second nominal billing interval, an additional charge to be made
equal to 2 percent will be assessed on any portion of the original amount which remains unpaid at
that time.
