APPLICABILITY
To all general power and lighting service and temporary construction
service, when all energy is supplied at one point of delivery, through one
metered service.
Not applicable to or available for resale, standby, or auxiliary service.
CHARACTER OF SERVICE
Single-phase or three-phase, 60 hertz, and at one standard nominal volt-
age as mutually agreed by the City of Redding Electric Utility and the custom-
er and subject to availabilityat the
J point of delivery. If the monthly bill-
ing demand exceeds 500 kW and the customer takes service at a primary voltage,
then primary metering will be installed.
DEMAND METERING
Whenever the monthly energy usage exceeds 15,000 kWh for 3 months out of
a consecutive 12-month period, a demand meter will be installed.
RATE
A monthly bill at the following rate plus or minus any adjustments incor-
porated in this rate schedule or supplement hereto:

Demand Charge:
The Demand Charge shall be calculated as follows:
The Demand Charge per kW of billing demand is derived by multi-
plying $12.42 by the difference of the total monthly billing
kWh less 15,000 kWh. The above product is then divided by the
total monthly kWh. In equation form:

$ Per kW = ($12.42 x (Total kWh-15,000)/Total kWh)
During any month usage exceeds 15,000 kWh and a demand meter is not
installed, the billing demand will be estimated as follows:

days multiplied by 24 hours per day, or in equation form:

BILLING DEMAND
The maximum demand in any month shall be the average power taken during
any 15-minute interval in the current month as indicated or recorded by in-
struments installed, owned, and maintained by the utility.
When the power usage is intermittent or subject to violent fluctuations,
the utility may base the billing demand upon a 5-minute interval.
PRIMARY SERVICE DISCOUNT
When delivery is made and energy is metered at a primary voltage the
following discount shall be applied to the sum of the Energy Charge and, if
applicable, the Demand Charge.
Discount
Service at 12,000 volts or higher 4%
Service at 2,000 volts to 12,000 volts 3%
POWER FACTOR ADJUSTMENT
When the billing demand has exceeded 500 kW for 3 consecutive months and
thereafter until it has fallen below 300 kW for 12 consecutive months, bills
will be adjusted for weighted monthly average power factor as follows: That
portion of the monthly charge, comprising the Demand Charge and the Energy
Charge, including the Primary Service Discount, if applicable, will be de-
creased or increased, respectively, by 0.25% for each 1% that the average
power factor of customer's load in the month was greater or less than 95%,
such average power factor is to be computed (to the nearest whole percent)
from the ratio of lagging kilovolt ampere hours to kilowatt hours consumed in
the month. All expenses for the installation and/or modification of the cus-
tomers' facilities to accommodate Varhour metering shall be paid by the cus-
tomer.
TAX CLAUSE
To the charges computed under the above rate, including any adjustments,
shall be added the applicable proportionate part of any taxes or governmental
impositions which are or may in the future be assessed on the basis of gross

Demand Charge:
The total monthly Demand Charge is derived by multiplying the sum of the
on-peak and off-peak period demand charges by the difference of the
total monthly billing kWh less 15,000 kWh. The above product is then
divided by the total monthly kWh. In equation form:
$ Per kW = (D1 + D2) x (Total kWh-15,000)/Total kWh
Where: D1 = On-peak Demand Charges
D2 = Off-peak Demand Charges

When off-peak period maximum demand is equal to or greater than
on-peak period maximum demand:
D1 = kW of maximum on-peak period demand times $10. 77/kW
D2 = kW of maximum off-peak period demand times $2. 19/kW
When off-peak period maximum demand is less than on-peak period
maximum demand:
D1 = kW of maximum on-peak period demand times $13. 12/kW
D2 = $0.0
SPECIAL CONDITIONS

When the billing includes usage in both Period A and Period B, no proration
of charges between Period A and Period B will be made where meter readings are
taken within one work day (Monday through Friday inclusive but excluding holidays)
of either May 1 or November 1 of any year. In such cases the billing will be
based on the rates and charges of either Period A and Period B, whichever contains

er failed to comply fully to the number of interruptions requested.
In addition to the above penalty charges, the Demand Charge Credit will be
forfeited for the month in which any non-compliance occurs.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
1 . Demand Interruption Periods: During system peak load conditions, where
the City's demand is approaching its Western Area Power Administration CVP
power allocation limit and the City would incur higher wholesale power costs
for additional power purchases, Demand Interruption Periods will be initi-
ated. The City will endeavor to reduce system load consistent with good
utility practice as follows:
(A) City facilities electric demand reduction.
(B) Load management activation.
(C) Interruptible demand activation.
2. Non-intentional Demand Interruptions: Interruptions of service other

nected with the electric system of the City.
Such Non-intentional Demand Interruptions shall not be credited towards
the customer's Interrupted Billing Demand Reduction.
3. On-peak Firm Service Demand: Firm Service Demand is the maximum demand
which the City is expected to supply during periods when the City has called
for interruptible demand to be disconnected from the City's lines. The
On-peak Firm Service Demand levels shall be specified by the customer within
the Contract for Service. Any changes in On-peak Firm Service Demand are
subject to check and approval of the City.
