High Energy Use Plans

Primary Distribution Rates for Large Businesses

If your business is taking service at 2,400 volts or greater, then you're on a primary rate. Primary rates are divided into these categories:

• General Service Primary Rate (GP) applies to businesses that have relatively low energy use.

• General Service Primary Demand Rate (GPD) is used for businesses with high energy use over extended periods of time.

• General Service Primary Time of Use Rate (GPTU) is designed for businesses with the flexibility to shift energy use to lower priced times.

• Energy Intensive Program Rate (EIP) is available for metal melting businesses employing arc or induction furnaces. It is also available for energy intensive businesses.

• Large Economic Development Rate (LED) is available for new full service primary electric customers or existing full service primary customers expanding their permanent operation. Customers must contract for a minimum of 35,000 kW.

• General Service Self Generation Rate (GSG-2) provides standby or backup electric service to businesses that generate some or all their own energy.

• Interruptible Service Provision (GI) provides credits to businesses who choose to reduce their use during critical times.

• Educational Institution Service Provision (GEI) provides energy credits to schools, colleges and universities.
