The latest revision of the Electric Rate Schedule has been prepared by the Light & Power Department. The City Council of the City of Vernon reviewed and approved these Rates. Subsequent City Council Resolutions are necessary for any and all changes to these Rates.
The City of Vernon offers some of the least expensive commercial and industrial rates among all electric providers in California.
COMPARISON OF MEDIUM TO LARGE COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL
ELECTRIC BILLS FOR MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
(Bills in $ for January 2006*)
The rate that applies to a customer's service depend on the electrical
demand in kilowatts (kW). New customers are required to qualify with
a minimum demand before new rates are applied. There are four General
Service rates that apply to the businesses that are served by the Light & Power
Department:
- GS-1. Any three-phase and single-phase
load can qualify for this rate without a Time-of-Use (TOU) meter installed.
This rate includes only the energy usage in kilowatthours (kWh) and
does not have any demand charges. This rate has the highest rate for
energy charges.
- GS-2. This schedule is not applicable
to customers with demands of 500 kW or higher for any three months
during the preceding twelve months and for whom time of use recording
meters have been installed. This rate has demand and energy charge
components. The energy charge is flat without any benefits for off-peak
and mid-peak period consumption.
- TOU-G. Service under this schedule
is elective for customers served under Schedule No. GS-2 with a monthly
maximum demand that exceeds 100 kW for three months during the preceding
twelve months but is less than 500 kW for any nine months during the
preceding twelve months. Service under this schedule is elective for
all existing customers with time of use metering who have been taking
service under Schedule TOU-V with a monthly maximum demand that exceeds
100 kW for three months during the preceding twelve months but is
less than 500 kW for any nine months during the preceding 12 months.
Service is subject to meter availability. This rate offers benefits
for mid-peak and off-peak energy consumption.
- TOU-V. This schedule is applicable
for all customers with demands of 500 kW or higher for any three months
during the preceding twelve months and for whom time of use meters
have been installed. This rate offers benefits for mid-peak and off-peak
energy consumption.
