REQUEST FOR SERVICE (continued)
Based on the information provided by the Qualifying Customer in the request for service hereunder, the Company will, in its sole discretion, determine whether it can provide the requested service consistent with its other contractual commitments and its overall operational requirements.
In the event that requests for service under FPCS exceed available capacity, the requests yielding the greatest economic benefit to the Company, as determined by the Company, shall be granted first. As used in this paragraph "economic benefit" shall be determined, on a net present value basis, based upon: 1) the proposed contract rate to be paid for the FPCS service, 2) the proposed term of the FPCS service agreement and, 3) the proposed MDQ for the FPCS service. In the event the net present value is equal among requests, then available capacity will be allocated on a pro rata basis among requesting Qualifying Customers. Allocation of capacity pursuant to this section shall not change the otherwise applicable curtailment priority of FPCS service.
Company shall notify Qualifying Customer whether it can provide the requested service under FPCS.
RATE
Upon electing FPCS, and a determination by the Company that service to the Qualifying Customer hereunder is available, Qualifying Customer will be billed and obligated to pay the following charges for service, such charges to be stated in the Qualifying Customer's Service Agreement:
Service Charge
$250.00 per month, one month minimum.
Peaking Capacity Charge
A peaking capacity charge shall be negotiated by the Qualifying Customer and the Company. Such negotiated charge shall not exceed a level that yields revenues during the term of the FPCS Service Agreement greater than the annualized revenues that would be generated by applying rates under FDTS. No less than 50% of the negotiated rate shall be billed in the form of a monthly demand charge based on the agreed upon MDQ. The commodity component of the capacity charge shall be applied to nominated volumes.
