AVAILABLE: Within Lincoln, Neb., and the System Service Area.

APPLICABLE: A Customer will be placed on this schedule if the LLP schedule is not applicable and if any of the following conditions are met:

1. Energy usage is greater than 25,000 kWh per BILLING PERIOD for each of six consecutive BILLING PERIODS.

2. The Customer’s demand is greater than 100 kW in two summer BILLING PERIODS including the current BILLING PERIOD and all BILLING PERIODS in the preceding 11 months.

3. In the case of a new Customer, if the usage or demand projections prepared or approved by the System’s Energy Delivery Division meets (a) or (b) above and if the LLP rates are not applicable.

And the Customer agrees to interrupt 100 kW or more of their load, at the System’s request.

Removal from the GSD to the GS schedule may take place if the account demonstrates in the previous 12 BILLING PERIODS no summer BILLING DEMAND greater than 100 kW and no energy usage greater than 25,000 kWh per BILLING PERIOD for six consecutive BILLING PERIODS.

CHARACTER OF SERVICE: Single-phase, or three-phase if available, 60 Hertz alternating current, supplied at the System’s standard voltages through a System-owned meter.

BILL: Customer Charge + Demand & Facilities Charge - Seasonal Interruptible Demand Credit + Energy Charge + Dual Primary Service Charge (if applicable) + all Riders (if applicable) + applicable Service Fees; based on the RATE in effect and the System’s Service Regulations.

BILLING PERIOD: BILLS are rendered on the basis of the scheduled meter reading dates or a date agreeable with the System for final readings. Under normal conditions, BILLING PERIODS typically range from 27 to 35 days.

MAXIMUM DEMAND: The highest integrated kilowatt load during any 30-minute period occurring in the BILLING PERIOD for which the determination is made.

BILLING DEMAND: Either (a), (b) or (c), whichever is higher:

1. The MAXIMUM DEMAND occurring during the BILLING PERIOD.

2. 65 percent of the highest MAXIMUM DEMAND established for the BILLS rendered in June, July, August or September of the preceding 11 months.

3. 25 kW.

MAXIMUM INTERRUPTIBLE DEMAND: The MAXIMUM INTERRUPTIBLE DEMAND for the summer BILLING PERIOD shall be the difference between the BILLING DEMAND and the MAXIMUM DEMAND occurring during any interruption period in the BILLING PERIOD. If the System did not interrupt the customer load during the month, then the MAXIMUM INTERRUPTIBLE DEMAND will be that from the most recent BILLING PERIOD that the System did interrupt. Except MAXIMUM INTERRUPTIBLE DEMAND for a particular summer BILLING PERIOD shall be zero if interruptible capability is disabled or not available at any time during the BILLING PERIOD. Routine maintenance shut-downs which are scheduled and approved by the System in advance shall not set the MAXIMUM INTERRUPTIBLE DEMAND to zero. MAXIMUM INTERRUPTIBLE DEMAND shall not be greater than the BILLING DEMAND for the current BILLING PERIOD.

PRIMARY VOLTAGE DELIVERY: Where the Customer takes service and is metered at an available System standard primary distribution voltage above 600 volts but less than 50,000 volts, and the Customer owns, operates and maintains all voltage transformation and other distribution equipment past the primary meter.

DUAL PRIMARY SERVICE: When the System provides capacity from two primary service sources and where the Customer controls the switchgear transferring load between the two primary service sources. One of the services may be sufficient to serve part of the Customer’s load, but not all of the load. The Customer controlled switchgear shall have interlocks to prevent paralleling of the two primary service sources. The System may also require Aid-to-Construction at the time the dual service installation is made. The terms and conditions of DUAL PRIMARY SERVICE are per the provisions of the Service Regulations.

DUAL PRIMARY DEMAND: Either (a) or (b), whichever is applicable:

1. Full service: When both primary services are adequate for the Customer’s entire load, DUAL PRIMARY DEMAND will be the BILLING DEMAND.

2. Partial service: When one of the primary services is only adequate for part of the Customer’s load, DUAL PRIMARY DEMAND will be either (1), (2) or (3), whichever is higher:

1.      The Customer requested kilowatt capacity of the DUAL PRIMARY SERVICE providing partial service.

2.      The MAXIMUM DEMAND during the BILLING PERIOD of the DUAL PRIMARY SERVICE providing partial service.

3.      100 percent of the highest MAXIMUM DEMAND of the preceding 11 months of the DUAL PRIMARY SERVICE providing partial service.

MINIMUM BILL:  Customer Charge + Demand & Facilities Charge - Seasonal Interruptible Demand Credit (if applicable) + Dual Primary Service Charge (if applicable).

MAXIMUM BILL:  Customer Charge + Dual Primary Service Charge (if applicable) + $0.17 per kilowatt-hour for all kilowatt-hours used per BILLING PERIOD, but not less than the MINIMUM BILL.
