Discussion
As part of the 2024 Rate Plan, which was approved by the Board in October 2023, the use of rate sheets in the Tariff and Business Rules (the “Tariff”) was to be evaluated.
To improve the current organization of the Tariff and make it easier to navigate, a series of full rate sheets were created, one for each rate available to the membership. Each of these rate sheets includes substantially all rate components and applicable information necessary to understand the respective rate.
The recommendation is to adjust the Tariff as to “Rate Schedules” Section 500.2 and “Rate Programs” Section 500.3 by replacing these sections with the following sections:
• 500.2 Residential Rate Schedules
o 500.2.1 Residential, Farm and Ranch Service, Flat Base Power Charge
o 500.2.2 Residential, Farm and Ranch Service, Flat Base Power Charge, with Renewable Energy Rider
o 500.2.3 Residential, Farm and Ranch Service, Flat Base Power Charge, Community Solar Rate
o 500.2.4 Residential, Farm and Ranch Service, Flat Base Power Charge, Community Solar Rate, with Renewable Energy Rider
o 500.2.5 Residential, Farm and Ranch Service, Time of Use (TOU) Base Power Charge
o 500.2.6 Residential, Farm and Ranch Service, Time of Use (TOU) Base Power Charge, with Renewable Energy Rider
o 500.2.7 Residential, Farm and Ranch Service, Interconnect Rate
o 500.2.8 Residential, Farm and Ranch Service, Interconnect Rate, with Renewable Energy Rider
• 500.3 Small Power Rate Schedules
o 500.3.1 Small Power Service, Flat Base Power Charge
o 500.3.2 Small Power Service, Flat Base Power Charge, with Renewable Energy Rider
o 500.3.3 Small Power Service, Flat Base Power Charge, Community Solar Rate

o 500.3.5 Small Power Service, Time of Use (TOU) Base Power Charge
o 500.3.6 Small Power Service, Time of Use (TOU) Base Power Charge, with Renewable Energy Rider
o 500.3.7 Small Power Service, Interconnect Rate
• 500.4 Large Power Rate Schedules
o 500.4.1 Large Power Service

o 500.4.3 Large Power Service, Interconnect Wholesale Energy Rate
