Original Issue Date: |

Revision/Effective Date: |

Qualifying Service
Standby Service rates are designed to complement the traditional full requirements firm service rate schedule. For Wheat Belt, Standby Service is designed in coordination with the E-1, E-2 or E-3 rates. Any service requiring a capacity demand greater than the allotted standby defined in Tri-State Generation & Transmission’s Rate Schedule S. An interconnection agreement between Wheat Belt and the customer will be required as a part of this rate schedule.
Rates
This rate is largely based on Tri-State Generation & Transmission’s standby service which is detailed in their Rate Schedule S. From this point forward, this will be referred to as Schedule S.
Basic Charge
Schedule S Basic Charge Plus + $100.00 (the additional $100 is for Wheat Belt metering)
Basic Charge Defined: Standby Service rates are typically designed to complement the
traditional full requirements firm service rate schedule. For Wheat Belt, Standby Service is
designed in coordination with either the E-1, E-2 or E-3 rate. Standby rates often include the
following components.
Reservation Demand Charge for Contracted Standby Service (anything greater than 1,000 kW)
Generation/kW Schedule S * (1 + Wheat Belt loss^)
Transmission/kW Schedule S * (1 + Wheat Belt loss^)
Reservation Demand Charge Defined: a monthly charge applied to the member’s capacity requirements supplied by self-generation. For example, with the installation of a generator, Customer A will have installed nameplate capacity of approximately 4 MWs to serve a maximum demand of approximately 3.5 MWs. Wheat Belt and Tri-State must hold sufficient generation, transmission, and distribution capacity to backup this load in the event of an unplanned outage. Therefore, the Reservation Demand Charge is designed to recover the cost of “holding capacity in reserve” for the member’s benefit. In this case, approximately 3.5 MWs.
Backup Service Charge
Generation/peak kW-day Schedule S * (1 + Wheat Belt loss^)
Energy Charge/kWh Schedule S * (1 + Wheat Belt loss^)
Backup Service Charge Defined: the cost of providing service to a standby customer during an unplanned outage. At a moment’s notice, Wheat Belt and Tri-State must meet the customer’s demand and energy requirements to ensure a highly reliable power supply.
Scheduled Maintenance Charge
Energy Charge/kWh Charged through Wheat Belt’s E-1, E-2 or E-3 rate schedule
Scheduled Maintenance Charge Defined: provides backup service at a discount recognizing that the member, Wheat Belt, and Tri-State will work together to schedule a planned outage during low cost periods. In recognition of this beneficial coordination, a discount is given.
Power and Energy Charge
Each Standby Rate customer will also be assigned an additional rate schedule for power and energy use (Supplemental Service or in the event of a plant trip). Please refer to the appropriate rate schedule (E-1, E-2 or E-3) for Basic Charge, Energy, Retail Demand, On-Peak Demand (for supplemental power) and Power Factor Charges (which would be in addition to charges outlined in this policy – DG-2). Note: backup demand will not be charged as part of E-1, E-2 or E-3 and will be charged through the DG-2. However, retail demand and supplemental on-peak demand will be charged through E-1, E-2 or E-3.
Supplemental Service Defined: in addition to the Standby Services described above, member electricity requirements greater than the reserved amount are charged under the applicable full requirements rate.
^ as of the updated policy, Wheat Belt loss is 6.5%
Cost Adjustment
In the event that restoration costs exceed thresholds to meet financial requirements, charges or credits shall be made to this rate accordingly. Such charges or credits shall be billed separately as “Storm Recovery Adder.” The District reserves the right to change this rate to reflect restoration cost recovery.
In Lieu of Tax Charge
If the service is within the corporate limits of an incorporated town or village, the customer will be charged an additional five percent (5%) of the customer's monthly charge plus or minus any fuel and cost adjustment, since the District is required to remit this amount to the county in which the service is located.
