Primary Service
If service is taken by the Customer at a nominal 12,000 volts and if the Customer supplies and maintains all transformation equipment (nominal 12,000 volts to utilization voltage), the monthly Demand Charge will be reduced by $1.18 per kW of monthly Billing Demand.
Subtransmission and Transmission Service

DETERMINATION OF POWER FACTOR
The Power Factors shall be calculated, using the maximum On-Peak Demand and the maximum Off-Peak Demand, each expressed in kWs, and the Lagging reactive kilovolt-amperes supplied during the same half-hour interval in which said Demands occur.
POWER FACTOR ADJUSTMENT
For Power Factors of less than ninety-five percent (95%) Lagging, the applicable Demand shall be corrected by multiplying said Demand by .95 and dividing by the Power Factor for the same half-hour interval in which said Demand occurs.
If a Power Factor is equal to or in excess of ninety-five percent (95%) Lagging, then no Power Factor Adjustment is made.
