DETERMINATION OF DEMAND

The Customer’s demand of electric energy supplied shall be determined for each one-hour interval of the month. The phrase "one-hour interval" shall mean sixty (60) minute period beginning or ending on a numbered clock hour as indicated by the clock controlling the metering equipment.

DETERMINATION OF BILLING DEMAND

The Billing Demand for the month shall be the greatest of the following demands:

  2. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the highest Billing Demand established in the immediately preceding eleven (11) months, adjusted, if the Company’s obligation to serve is increased or decreased. Each time the Company’s obligation to serve is increased or decreased, the highest Billing Demand established in the immediately preceding eleven (11) months shall be adjusted by a ratio of the Company’s current obligation to serve the Company’s obligation to serve in the month of the highest Billing Demand before multiplying by seventy-five percent (75%).

ADJUSTMENT FOR LOAD FACTOR

If the energy in kilowatt hours for any month is less than the product of 365 multiplied by the number of kilowatts constituting the Billing Demand for that month, then there shall be added to the Energy Payment one mill per kilowatt hour for such deficiency in kilowatt hours.
