LARGE ELECTRIC POWER CUSTOMERS (B)

Ordinance No. 0-07-65

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 27, SECTION 27-21, DEFINITIONS, OF THE GAINESVILLE CODE OF ORDINANCES BY AMENDING THE DEFINITION OF LARGE POWER; PROVIDING A REPEALING CLAUSE; PROVIDING DIRECTIONS TO THE CODIFIER; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCHEDULE PROVIDED HEREIN.

recommendation

The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance.

explanation

Background:

The definition of large power service allows customers reaching a demand of 1,000 kilowatts in a month during the previous 12 months to receive the large power service rate.  The rate class definition is being modified to more appropriately define large power customers.  The proposed definition requires customers to have a 12-month rolling average demand of 1,000 kW rather than just reaching a demand of 1,000 kilowatts in the previous 12 months.  

The rate changes will be applied to bills rendered after 12:01 A.M., October 1, 2007.
