The electric service to be supplied under this rate shall be measured as to Maximum Demand, Electric Energy and Power Factor, by suitable meters to be installed by the Company.

DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM DEMAND

Customer’s maximum demand in any month shall be determined by maximum demand instruments. The maximum demand of electric energy supplied in any month shall be taken as the highest average load in kilowatts occurring during any 30 consecutive minutes of the month; provided, however, that if such load shall be less than 50% of the maximum momentary demand in kilowatts, then the maximum demand shall be taken at 50% of such maximum momentary demand.

The Customer’s Demand of electric energy supplied shall be determined for each half-hour interval of the month and said demand in kilowatts for each half-hour interval shall be two times the number of kilowatt hours recorded during each such half-hour interval. The phrase "half-hour interval" shall mean the thirty (30) minute period beginning or ending on a numbered clock as indicated by the clock controlling the metering equipment. The maximum demand shall be the greatest such half-hour interval demand. However, for Customers utilizing thermal storage, the maximum demand shall be limited to the greater of the actual maximum demand occurring during the On-Peak period or 50% of the maximum demand occurring during the Off-Peak period.
