* Notes rate categories proposed for adjustment.
^ We may apply a power factor penalty to Irrigation, General Service—Three Phase, and New Large Single Load customers.
Note #1.
Residential and Small General Service customers may opt into the “Pre-Pay Meters” or “Net Meters” programs. General Service customers may opt into the “Net Meters” program. For the Pre-Pay Meters program, customers must pre-pay a minimum of $50.00 fee at time of account setup. Any prepayment is credited to the account and applied to the customer's future usage and demand charges. Pre-Pay customers are required to keep a positive balance in their account, or the meter will shut off automatically. Net Metering allows customer-owned renewable generation to interconnect with MVP's distribution system.
Note #2.
Customers with monthly demand of over three megawatts will be subject to other rates, as determined by MVP on a case-by case basis, and may be required to make a deposit of two months of estimated service.
Note #3.
Unmetered Services refers to customers, using kilowatt hours without a meter, that do not fall under one of MVP's other rate categories. Includes traffic lights, billboards, and telephone booths.
Note #4.
Irrigation customers may receive a Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) discount for the months of May through September. BPA generally provides an irrigation discount to assist the agricultural sector in rural Northwest communities. After BPA provides MVP with the final irrigation discount rate, we will issue the discount as an annual credit on qualified irrigation customers' bills.
