Background:
As part of PEC's efforts to ensure consistency and clarity pertaining to its policies, PEC has added many of the existing provisions from the Business Rules to applicable sections of the Tariff for Electric Service and attempted to minimize policy changes. The goals were (1) to eliminate duplications and any inconsistencies; and (2) consider current practices and state of operations.
The following sections, among others, were clarified or added to the Tariff and Business Rules for Electric Service: (1) the applicability of the College Discount Rider rate for state or non-profit institutions, (2) adding a discount rate for service to military bases; (3) line extension completion deadline; (4) Large Power's 12-month average requirement; (5) timing for connection of electric service; (6) expressing the Cooperative's preference for individual metering for residential units; (7) expressly referencing the Cooperative's ability to file criminal charges for tampering with meters or theft of electric service; and (8) clarifying the contribution in aid of construction formula applicability to commercial accounts.
These changes will be effective March 1, 2017.
