The electric service to be supplied under this Rate Schedule shall be measured as to Maximum Demand, Energy consumption and kVAR by an IDR to be installed by the Company.

ADJUSTMENTS

If, at the Company's option and in its sole discretion, the metering is installed at a voltage level at or above a nominal 12,000 volts, the kWhs metered will be reduced by one percent (1%) before computing the Energy Charge, and the Maximum Demand in each Billing Period will be reduced by one percent (1%) before the Billing Demand is determined.

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

The phrase "half-hour interval" shall mean a thirty (30) minute period beginning or ending on a numbered clock hour as indicated by the clock controlling the metering equipment.

DETERMINATION OF BILLING DEMAND

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.
