ELECTRIC SERVICE
DEFINITIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS
RESIDENTIAL SERVICE:
Service furnished to customers using energy for domestic purposes in single family dwellings, apartments where each dwelling unit is separately metered, mobile homes being utilized as a family dwelling, and farms.
Where a portion of the electric energy in a residential premise is used regularly for the conduct of a business or profession, electric service used in such portion must be metered separately and billed under a nonresidential schedule; otherwise, the entire premises will be classified as nonresidential.
Service through one meter to two dwelling units will be classified as residential where an existing dwelling unit is or has been divided into two dwelling units. However, in the case where service is supplied through one meter to two or more new dwelling units, or to three or more existing dwelling units, service will be classified as nonresidential.
Additional meters on residential premises will be classified as residential, provided energy is used for domestic purposes and each such meter is on a separate building or structure separated from the other meters by such distance that service through the same point of delivery is impractical. Should any portion of the energy used on an additional meter on a residential premises be used for the conduct of a business or profession, the service will be classified as nonresidential. Service through additional meters will be supplied only when additional facilities can be installed under the Department's line extension rules. All residential customers are billed according to the terms and rates as stated in Schedule 1.
SWIMMING POOL SERVICE:
Existing service furnished to residential swimming pools which is a separate service in addition to the service to the dwelling. This service is limited to providing electrical energy to equipment directly related to the operation and maintenance of domestic swimming pools and only to those having had the service previously installed.

LARGE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SERVICE:
Nonresidential service furnished to businesses and professions whose electrical energy requirements include three phase service and with a demand of over 50 KW for any month during the previous 12-month period. This service is further limited to exclude irrigation service, and any electrical service having a measured demand of 5,000 kW or greater. This service is also limited to exclude any electrical service exceeding 22,000,000 annual kWH consumption. Large Commercial and Industrial Service customers are billed according to the terms and rates as stated in Schedule 3.
NEW LARGE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SERVICE EXCEEDING 2,000 kW DEMAND

A net metering facility is an electric generation facility that uses solar, wind, fuel cell, or hydroelectric power to generate electricity. The rated generating capacity of any residential customer-generator facility cannot exceed 25 kilowatts. The net metering facility must be located on the customer’s property, must comply with all applicable safety provisions, and must be compatible with the City’s distribution system. The primary intent of the net metering facility will be to offset part or all of the customer’s own electric power requirements. The Customer will be required to enter into a net metering agreement with the City, and all customer-generation facilities must be inspected by the City prior to inter-connection. The energy charge for customers with an approved Net Metering facility will be determined by net kWh consumption (kWh delivered by City less kWh generated by customer). For the billing period ending in March of each year, any unused credits that have accumulated during the previous twelve months will be applied to FGL&P’s low- income assistance program. Residential meter aggregation and Commercial Net Metering up to 199kW will be permitted.
GREEN POWER SERVICE

CUSTOMER CHARGE
Customer Charge is defined as a flat fee charged per billing interval when the meter is read which may or may not coincide with a calendar month. The Customer Charge is assessed when a new billing interval begins or when occupancy changes and a different customer is established on the account.

SERVICE AGREEMENT:
At all times while receiving service under Schedule 4, the customer must have in place a valid and binding Energy Service Agreement with City Light & Power Department in a form prescribed by the City Light and Power Department. The terms and conditions of any written agreement between the City and customer for electric service may supersede the applicable requirements of this schedule if expressly stated in the written agreement.
CHARACTER OF SERVICE:
Three Phase, sixty-hertz alternating current of such voltage as the City Light and Power Department may have available.
LOAD FORECAST AND MINIMUM BILLING DETERMINANT:
Except as may otherwise be agreed by the parties in an Energy Service Agreement, all energy and capacity used to serve the customer load will be procured by the City Light and Power Department from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) or equivalent market purchases. As part of the power planning process, Customer shall provide forecasts of customer’s reasonably expected demand and energy usage for each calendar month of the following twenty-four (24) month period (or for such longer period as may be required by BPA or market purchase agreements). The load forecast will, in part, determine the amount of power that the City Light and Power Department is required to purchase from BPA or market equivalent sources. Thus, the City Light and Power department will charge customer a minimum monthly Energy Charge and Demand Charge based on customer’s load forecast, even if customer’s actual demand and energy consumption is less than the forecast. If, and to the extent that, the City is able to remarket any energy and capacity that has been forecasted by customer but is not actually needed to serve the customer load, then the City Light and Power Department will allocate to customer’s account any corresponding bill credit actually received from BPA or market equivalent resale. The City will determine the wholesale power supply at its discretion.
CHARGES PER BILLING INTERVAL
Customer’s monthly billing will consist of the following energy charges (customer and demand charges are applicable based on schedule 3).

The rate may recover costs incurred by the City, including but not limited to, transmission, scheduling, overhead, in-lieu of tax transfers, cost of renewable, costs associated with regulatory compliances, and losses.
Customer’s energy charge will be calculated each billing period by multiplying the applicable energy rate with the greater of: (1) the forecast customer load for such billing period; or (2) customer’s actual energy consumption during such billing period.
DEMAND CHARGE:
Based on the greater of: (1) the peak demand forecasted by customer for such billing period; or (2) the highest 15-minute average demand recorded during the billing period measured in kilowatts (kW).
