The billing demand shall be the maximum kilowatt demand established for any consecutive 15 minute period during the month as measured by a suitable demand meter, but not less than the minimum demand specified in the agreement for electric service, but in no event less than 10 kW.  Measured demand will be adjusted for power factor as provided below.

Power Factor Adjustment

The consumer agrees to maintain unity power factor as nearly as practicable.  The measured demand may be increased to obtain billing demand if and when the Association deems necessary by increasing the measured demand 1% for each 1% by which the power factor is less than 95% lagging.

Conditions of Service on Primary Metered Oil Field

Primary metering will be installed at a mutually agreeable location on the edge of the lease.  All lines, transformers and secondary beyond the metering point will be owned and maintained by the consumer.  The expected load in the field must be of sufficient size to justify the expenditure for primary metering as determined by the Association.  The cost of any relocation or modification to facilities owned by the Association required to provide service to its other consumers will be paid by the consumer.
