Applicable
This Schedule applies to customers with metered loads exceeding 1000 kW. Any customer purchasing power under this rate schedule which has all or a portion of its load designated a "New Large Single Load," or has all or a portion of its load monitored to determine if it should be so designated, shall be ineligible to purchase power under this rate schedule for that portion of its load which has been designated as, or is being monitored for designation as a "New Large Single Load."
The Board of Commissioners specifies that a "New Large Single Load" is any load associated with a new facility, an existing facility, or an expansion of an existing facility:
- Which is not contracted for, or committed to, as determined by the Bonneville Power Administrator, by the District prior to September 1, 1979, and
- Which will result in an increase in power requirements of such customer of ten average megawatts and/or more in any consecutive twelve month period.
This definition conforms with the definition of "New Large Single Load" contained in §3(13) of the Regional Power Act (P.L. 96-501) and in the District's power supply contract with Bonneville, Contract No. 96MS-94953. Any and all costs, in addition to those contained in the rates set forth below, which the District must pay as a result of any new or existing customer being monitored for determination or determined to be a "New Large Single Load," including but not limited to monitoring, backbilling, metering, billing, and penalties, shall be directly charged to that customer above and beyond the rates set forth below. These additional costs charged directly to the customer may also include increased power costs for any preceding period during which power was supplied, to that customer, during which the customer was retroactively determined to be a "New Large Single Load."
