3 General terms & definitions: Energy The basic unit of electric energy equal to one kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power supplied to or taken from an electric circuit for one hour. Measured in kilowatt-hours (kwh). Demand The rate at which energy is delivered, measured in kilowatts (kw) and averaged over 15-minute intervals. Demand ratchet minimum billing demand based on 85% of highest recorded demand for summer months, June thru September billing. Power factor The term is defined as the ratio of real power to (kw, demand) to total apparent power (kilovolts amperes, or kva) supplied at a given point in time in an electric circuit, and is usually expressed as a percentage (i.e., 90%) Natural Gas Consumption - This consumption is measured in hundreds of cubic feet (ccf). 3

4 Understanding Electric Demand: Lights & Cooling Lighting & Equipment Lights, Equipment & Cooling 30 kw x 5 minutes + 18 kw x 5 minutes + 36 kw x 5 minutes = 15 minutes 15 minutes 15 minutes 10 kw + 6 kw + 12 kw = 28 kw While the maximum for a 5 minute period is 36 kw, the integrated demand is 28 kw. 4

5 Bill components Rate and Riders A number of rate schedules are available for business and institutional customers. Applicability of rates depend on such things as; type of service, size of demands, or equipment on premise. Riders are designed to cover a type of cost or expense. Riders may apply to various rates.
