Alameda Municipal Power Rate Schedules

Supplemental Schedule ED
Economic Development Incentive Discount

(Applied in Conjunction with the Standard General Service Rate Schedules)

Applicability

This schedule is available to qualified customers for the purpose of business attraction or facility expansion. Qualified customers are new or existing general service customers who add an annual peak demand of at least 50 kilowatts (kW) and less than 1 megawatt (MW) and who meet the criteria outlined below under Definitions and Special Conditions. Customers that depend on an extreme seasonal peak electric load to qualify may be excluded from service under this schedule. Existing customers will be asked to sign an agreement agreeing to the conditions required to receive this rebate and demonstrate that they have a similarly situated site outside Alameda Municipal Power's (AMP's) service territory that would otherwise be expanded absent this discount.

Rates

A discount will be applied to all charges under the standard general service rate schedule for which the customer qualifies, excluding taxes, photovoltaic solar charge, and state energy resources surcharge, as follows:

Definitions and Special Conditions

1. CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA
   This schedule is intended to encourage customers who have options for locating all or part of their business operations outside AMP's service territory and for whom electric costs are material to their site selection decision, as determined by AMP, to choose to locate or expand in its service territory and take electric service from AMP.
   General service customers in certain business classifications, by their nature, do not have options for locating elsewhere and are therefore not eligible for the Economic Development Incentive Discount (EDID). Such classifications include public service facilities, utilities, and public elementary and secondary schools. Qualified customers will be asked to sign an affidavit stating that this discount is a material factor in their decision to locate or expand in AMP's service territory.  Participation under this schedule is voluntary and is made available at AMP's sole discretion.
   Customers eligible for the Economic Development Incentive Discount will have a minimum annual peak demand of 50 kW and no greater than 1 MW.  Additionally, no more than 1 cumulative MW of economic discount will be approved in one year.
2. MINIMUM LOAD FACTOR
   If the customer's load factor falls below 30 percent for three consecutive months, AMP may, at its option, remove the customer from this schedule. Load factor is calculated by dividing the energy by the product of the peak demand and the hours in the billing period and expressed as a percent.
3. AGREEMENT
   In order to receive the EDID, a formal agreement specifying these terms and conditions shall be executed. An annual certification that these conditions continue to be met shall be submitted as a affidavit signed by the customer.
4. METERING
   At its sole option, AMP may require separate electrical metering for any new or additional load at an existing customer's premises. As an alternative, a ratio of new demand to historical demand over the previous 36 months may be used to apply this discount.
5. ALL-REQUIREMENTS PROVIDER
   The customer agrees to take all electric service requirements from AMP. In no event shall the customer use co-generation, self-generation, or electricity wheeled from any other source without AMP's written consent for as long as service is furnished under this schedule. Emergency back-up generation is excluded from this requirement.
6. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
   Customers taking service under this schedule shall grant AMP the right to inspect the facilities or plans for the purpose of making energy efficiency recommendations. If the customer implements energy efficiency measures, such load reduction will not be reason to disqualify the customer from receiving service under this schedule.
7. TERM
   The discounts will commence on the customer's regularly scheduled meter read day in the first month after the new load is to be connected to AMP's system and shall remain in effect for up to three years of the agreement. AMP, at its sole option, may remove the customer from this schedule upon 30 days of providing written notice in the event the customer no longer meets the qualification criteria described herein.
8. RELOCATION
   Business relocation out of Alameda within three years of this discount application requires a full refund of all discounts allowed, plus applicable taxes.
9. RULES and REGULATIONS
   Other conditions, as specified in AMP's Rules and Regulations, shall apply to this electric rate schedule.
