Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural Programs

Commercial, Industrial, and Agricultural Programs provide members with tools and incentives to save energy and improve operations.

Commercial, Industrial, and Agriculture Energy Management Programs

Commercial, industrial, and agriculture members, who require a larger demand on the system, may benefit from our peak demand programs.

Participants also benefit from a reduced energy rate. Understand your options below.

When a Maximum Generation Event or Regional Capacity Event is called, members on the Peak Alert Interruptible rate will automatically have their standby generator turned on for the duration of the event. A load control device is installed to facilitate this process.

Available to members where their monthly maximum demand will or has exceeded 20 kW for at least once annually and the member has the ability to maintain their system's operation during periods of load control through the use of a standby generator.

Rate:

Basic Service Charge	$140.00
Demand Charges
Monthly Peak Transmission Charge	$7.75 / kW
Seasonal Demand Charge when Load Control is Requested:
December through February	$35.18 / kW
March through May	$9.47 / kW
June through August	$81.18 / kW
September through November	$9.47 / kW
Energy Charge	$0.05910 / kWh

*One required control per season.

When a Peak Energy Alert is called, members on the Controllable Seasonal rate voluntarily shed their load or ensure electric use will not come on during the event.

Available to members with seasonal energy use requiring between 70 and 300 KVA of transformer capacity.

Rate:

Basic Service Charge	$140.00
Demand Charges
Monthly Peak Transmission Charge	$7.75 / kW
Seasonal Demand Charge when Load Control is Requested:
December through February	$35.18 / kW
March through May	$9.47 / kW
June through August	$81.18 / kW
September through November	$9.47 / kW
Energy Charge	$0.05910 / kWh

Breakdown of Control Seasons:

Season	Months	Control Periods	Min. Monthly Full Load Control Events	Max. Full Load Control Events	Max. Seasonal Full Load Control Events	Seasonal Demand Charge for Failure to Shed
Summer	June - August	2:00 - 6:00 p.m. (staggered start time)	One (1) / month	Four (4) / month	Nine (9) / season	$81.18 / kW
Winter	December - February	5:00 - 8:00 p.m. (staggered start time)	No minimum	Three (3) / month	Three (3) / season	$35.18 / kW

Billing for Failure to Shed Load

A Demand (kW) reading represents the highest instantaneous power draw through the meter recorded during a 15-minute interval. A bill for failing to shed load is determined by calculating the average of all the 15 minute intervals over the control periods, as recorded by the meter. If the generator picks up the load properly during all events, the meter will record a demand reading of zero kW during each of these 15 minute intervals.

Ownership of the Load Control System and Generator

Dairyland Power Cooperative, our power provider, owns the receiver. The member owns and is responsible for maintaining all other equipment as part of the system.
