Transformer investment -- $0.17 per kW of monthly maximum demand

Section 21.49.055
  1. Medium general service is general service provided to customers who have in the previous calendar year half or more than half of the normal billings at 50 kW of maximum demand or greater and have more than half of their normal billings at less than 1,000 kW of maximum demand. Classification of new customers will be based on Seattle City Light's estimate of maximum demand in the current year.
  2. For customers metered on the primary side of a transformer, Seattle City Light will either program the meter to deduct computed transformer losses or provide a discount for transformer losses by reducing the monthly kWh billed by the number of kWh computed in Section 21.49.055, Subsection A.
  3. For customers who provide their own transformation from City Light's standard distribution system voltage of 4 kV, 13 kV, or 26 kV to a utilization voltage, a discount for transformer i nvestment will be provided in the amount stated in Section 21.49.055, Subsection A.
  4. Seattle City Light will provide one transformation from the available distribution system voltage of 4 kV or higher to a standard service voltage, and metering normally will be at the service voltage level. However, if the Department determines that it is either uneconomical or impractical to meter at the service voltage level, the Department will meter at the distribution voltage level and will either program the meter to deduct computed transformer looses or will reduce the monthly kWh billed by the amount of the discount for transformer losses.

    If the customer elects to receive service from Seattle City Light's available distribution system voltage of 4 kV or higher, metering will be at the distribution voltage level and the discounts for transformer losses, if applicable, and for transformer investment, if applicable, will be applied to the customer's billings. However, if the Department determines that it is either uneconomical or impractical to meter at the distribution voltage level, the Department will meter at the service voltage level and the discount for transformer losses will not be applicable.

SCHEDULE MDD
MEDIUM NETWORK GENERAL SERVICE
SCHEDULE MDD is for network general service provided to customers whose maximum demand is equal to or greater than 50 kW but less than 1,000 kW. Energy charges shown below reflect a change in the pass-through of power rates charged by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) as required by Ordinance 121098 (passed by the City Council May 29, 2001) to pass these savings on to customers. The adjustment for non-low-income residential is a decrease in energy charges of $.0013 per kWh. The adjustment for low-income residential classes is a decrease of $.0006 per kWh in energy charges.
