Minimum demand charge. A minimum demand charge will be charged by applying the applicable "per kW" demand charge to 60 percent of the customer's largest billing period demand during any or all of the immediately preceding summer months of June, July, August and September. This minimum demand charge will be applied for the 12-month period immediately following the beginning of the month when the maximum demand was established.

(e)

Primary service discount (Schedule C-2P). A discount of $0.50 per kW per billing period will be applied to the billing demand charge, when electric service is directly from the system's primary distribution lines, at the availability and discretion of the system, and if the customer owns and maintains all equipment from the primary metering point to his use location.

Primary service discount customers establishing service on or after January 1, 2002 shall enter into a contractual agreement with the system before receiving the discount. This agreement will provide the terms and conditions under which the discount will be provided, and will specify the standards which the customer must comply with in order to qualify for the discount. Such terms and conditions shall include:

(1)

The specifications for transformers, conductors, connectors, fusing, foundations, terminations, and any other associated material and equipment which the customer must provide to insure continuity of service;

(2)

The terms for billing the customer for system-provided maintenance services on customer-owned facilities; and

(3)

Other related terms and conditions.

The director will be authorized to negotiate all terms and conditions of the agreement, and to enter into this agreement with the prospective primary service customer.

The director will also be authorized to enter into agreements with primary service discount customers whose service existed prior to January 1, 2002, to promote the adherence by the customer to Lafayette Utilities System standards regarding the specifications for transformers, conductors, connectors, fusing, foundations, terminations, and any other associated material and equipment which the customer must provide to insure continuity of service. Such agreements may promote adherence to such standards, and provide terms for billing the customer for system-provided maintenance services on customer-owned facilities and other related terms and conditions.

(f)

Power factor adjustment. Power factor adjustments will be made when it has been determined that a customer's average monthly power factor is below 80 percent. For such customers, the metered demand kW will be adjusted by dividing it by the actual power factor, and then multiplying the result by 0.80.
