MORATORIUM EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2014 In the event that participating customers are not controlled during the monthly coincidental billing peak demand hour, the customer will receive applicable demand credits only for metered demand that exceeds the PDL and is greater than 100 kW. The demand credit is based on the applicable rates above to the kW difference between the metered demand and the PDL using hourly interval meter data measured one hour prior to the monthly coincidental billing peak demand hour. In the event the participating customer is not operating at the time of the coincidental billing peak there is no credit calculated in that month. The customer must be operating at least one hour prior to the coincidental billing demand peak or the time designated for interruption to receive credit. Example 1: Notice for disconnect or interruption is given at 11:00 a.m. for disconnect or interruption at 3:00 p.m. The participating customer begins shut down at 2:30 and has a peak demand for that month on the day of the interruption at 2:15 with a total load of 350 kW. The customer has a PDL of 50. For this example the participating customer would receive a credit for the difference between the Customer's coincidental peak demand (350 kW) and the PDL (50 kW). The customer would receive a credit for the 300 kW reduction times the seasonal rate indicated above. Example 2: There is no notice to disconnect or interrupt for this example month. The coincidental billing peak occurs on a Tuesday night at 11:00 p.m. The customer had a demand of 45 kW at the time of the coincidental billing peak (11:00 p.m.). In months with no notice the difference between the participating Customer's coincidental peak demand (45 kW) and the PDL (50 kW) shall be used to calculate the monthly credit. The difference between the coincidental billing peak and PDL in this example is -5. Since the participating customer was not operating and did not have any demand in excess of 100 kW to interrupt there is no credit given for this month. In any month in which the difference between the Customer's coincidental peak demand and the PDL is not at least 100 kW, no credit will be given. If the difference between the Customer's coincidental peak demand and the PDL remains less than 100 kW for two or more consecutive months, a new PDL may be established or ERMU shall have the right to terminate the Dispersed Generation or Interruptible Service Agreement. If Customer fails to interrupt load down to the PDL for the specified length of time of the control period in any calendar month a $5.00/kW demand penalty will be added to the Customers bill. The demand penalty will be determined using the maximum uncontrolled kW demand, defined as the highest hourly interval above the PDL recorded during all control periods in the billing month. The Customer will not receive the monthly credit for that month or any succeeding months until performance has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of ERMU personnel. If Customer fails to perform more than two times in any calendar year, ERMU reserves the right to terminate the Agreement.
