Electric Rate 44 – General Service Separate-Meter Space Heating

Available to any general service customer who uses electricity as the primary source of heating in nonresidential premises. Electric service to the space heating equipment must be metered separately from other equipment. When winter space heating is accomplished by a heat pump, summer cooling by the same equipment may be served under this schedule. When winter space heating is accomplished by resistance units that are permanently installed and thermostatically controlled during the entire heating season, summer air conditioning may be served under this schedule if the connected horsepower of such service does not exceed 70% of the kilowatts permanently installed for radiant or resistance heating coils. Water heating equipment may be served under this schedule provided that its capacity does not exceed that of the space heating equipment.

A 2% discount on the electric bill is applied to a customer served under this rate schedule if CWLP elects to meter that customer at 2400 volts or higher. This discount is itemized and appears as a credit (titled "Primary Metering Discount") on the customer's bill.

A 2% discount on the electric bill shall be applied to the customer served under this rate schedule when the customer, with the approval of CWLP, furnishes, installs and maintains the transformer (or transformers) that reduces the voltage from 2400 volts or higher to the voltage required by the customer. This discount is itemized and appears as a credit (titled "Transformer Discount") on the customer's bill.

If both of the above conditions are met, Rate 44 customers can qualify for a total discount of 4% off the rates listed below.
