to prevent a leading power factor. If the customer's average power factor is less than 0.95 for the
billing period, the billing demand will be determined by multiplying the measured demand by 0.95 and
dividing the results by the customer's average power factor. The average power factor is defined to be
the quotient obtained by dividing the kWh used during the month by the square root of the sum of the
squares of the kWh used and the lagging reactive kilovolt-ampere-hoursampere hours supplied during
the same period. The customer's average power factor will be determined by means of permanently
installed meters.
PRIMARY METER DISCOUNT:
Customers approved for metering at 13.8 kV will receive a discount of 1.25% on base rate charges for
measured demand and energy.

requested interruption occurs during the month, all demand above the nominated interruptible
demand shall be billed at the firm demand rate under the appropriate MGS, LGS, or LIS firm rate
schedule.
Customers nominating an amount of firm demand are required to interrupt all demand over their firm
service level.
Customers may interrupt demand below the firm service level. When peak metered demand for the
billing period is equal to or greater than the firm service level, the Firm Billing Demand shall be equal
to the actual metered demand during the RPU-requested service interruption concurrent with the
system peak for the billing period When peak metered demand for the billing period is less than the
firm service level, the Firm Billing Demand will be the greater of either the peak metered demand for
the billing period minus the actual demand reduction during the RPU-requested service interruption
concurrent with the RPU system peak for the billing period, or 50% of the Firm Demand Nomination
for the most current June-September months minus the actual demand reduction during the RPU-
requested service interruption concurrent with the RPU system peak for the billing period. All demand
above the firm service level for the month shall be billed at the appropriate interruptible rate. Where

2. The Power Cost Adjustment is determined by calculating the average actual cost per kWh of
retail power supply from all sources, during the previous 12 months, and subtracting the
Established Power Supply Cost. All calculations will be carried out to $.00001 per kWh. Power
supply costs include the cost of purchased power including charges for energy, demand,
transmission, cost adjustments, and fees for regional power grid services.
3. The Established Power Supply Cost Base of $0.07285 was determined by the 2014 cost of
service study. The base will remain at this level until subsequent review identifies a permanent
and substantial change in the cost of power.
4. The Power Cost Adjustment will be the difference between the actual amount per kWh
calculated in #2 above and the Established Power Supply Cost Base/ kWh.. This dollar amount
per kWh will be added (subtracted) to each kWh of sales.

QUALIFYING LOAD (continued)
Incremental Load
o For incremental load, the base level of load is the customer’s peak demand and energy
consumption for the twelve months prior to adding the new load.
If the customer’s energy consumption for a month in the current year exceeds
the customer’s energy consumption for the same month of the base year, the
additional kilowatt-hours are incremental load that qualifies for the credit.
The customer need not have incremental energy use every month of the year,
but at the end of each 12-month period the customer’s entire twelve month
energy use must exceed the base level and the customer must meet the
minimum incremental peak demand requirements in at least one hour of the
first twelve month period.
o If a qualifying customer falls below the designated demand and/or energy
consumption level, the customer will no longer qualify for any further credits within
the five-year term.
Load Retention
o RPU will designate how much load qualifies for the credit based on the facts and
circumstances related to the customer.
o If a qualifying customer falls below the designated demand and/or energy
consumption level, the customer will no longer qualify for any further credits within
the five-year term.
APPLICATION AND APPROVAL:
Customers must complete an Application for Economic Development Credit and provide all
required information.
o A sample application is shown in Appendix C.
RPU’s acceptance or rejection of an application for the Economic Development will come after
SMMPA Board approval.
CREDITS:
The credit will apply to all qualifying new, incremental or retained load taken under applicable
rate schedules. The Economic Development Rate Credit for customers beginning participation
on or after March 1, 2021, shall be applied to the energy charge at a rate of:
o 40% of all qualifying energy charges in year one
o 20% of all qualifying energy charges in year two
o 10% of all qualifying energy charges in year three
o 5% of all qualifying energy charges in year four
o 2.5% of all qualifying energy charges in year five
o No credit beginning in year six
The credit levels listed above will be in effect for the full five-year term for customers
commencing participation on or before March 1, 2021.
Credits will be calculated and applied based on energy consumption in the current billing
month.
MONTHLY FIXED CHARGE:
A fixed charge of $185.00 per month will be applied during the term of this rate to cover on-going

On September 28 2021, the RPU Utility Board directed staff to give public notice of the proposed increase to general electric rates and
general water rates for 2022 by 1.5% (2.5% for residential electric customers) and 2.5% respectively and the application of service
assured to all residential water customers ($1.99 per month) in the paper of record. Changes in the electric rates will result in an average
monthly increase of $2.28 for the average residential customer. Changes in the water rates will result in an increase of $0.57 for the
average residential water customer. The table below includes the actual changes by rate class. The proposed rates will also be available
on the RPU website (www.rpu.org) and by calling RPU customer service (507.280.1500).
Public comment on the proposed rates will be taken at the October 26, 2021 RPU Board Meetings prior to the Board voting on the
proposed budget and rate increase. If approved, the Board will recommend approval by the City Council which is currently scheduled
on December 6, 2021.
