SAMPLE TIME-OF-DAY GENERAL POWER RATE--SCHEDULE TGSA Availability This rate shall be available for the firm power requirements (where the higher of a customer's onpeak or offpeak contract demand is 5,000 kW or less) for electric service to commercial, industrial, and governmental customers, and to institutional customers including, without limitation, churches, clubs, fraternities, orphanages, nursing homes, rooming or boarding houses, and like customers, provided that the other conditions of this section are met.
For a customer requesting that its onpeak contract demand be different from its offpeak contract demand, this schedule shall be available only for (1) a new contract, (2) a replacement or renewal contract following expiration of the existing contract, or (3) a replacement or renewal contract or an amended existing contract in which the customer is increasing its demand requirements above the existing contract demand level, but under this item (3) neither the new onpeak nor the new offpeak contract demand shall be lower than the customer's existing contract demand.
Character of Service Alternating current, single- or three-phase, 60 hertz. Power shall be delivered at a service voltage available in the vicinity or agreed to by Distributor.
Base Charges
- 1. If the higher of (1) the higher of the customer's currently effective onpeak or offpeak contract demand or (2) the customer's highest onpeak or offpeak billing demand during the latest 12-month period is not more than 50 kW:
Customer Charge: $15.91 per delivery point per month Energy Charge: 11.069¢ per kWh per month for all onpeak kWh 3.529¢ per kWh per month for all offpeak kWh
- 2. If the higher of (1) the higher of the customer's currently effective onpeak or offpeak contract demand or (2) the customer's highest onpeak or offpeak billing demand during the latest 12-month period is greater than 50 kW but no more than 1,000 kW:
Customer Charge: $376.55 per delivery point per month Demand Charge: $10.27 per kW of the customer's onpeak billing demand, plus
$3.34 per month for each kW, if any, of the amount by which the customer's offpeak billing demand exceeds its onpeak billing demand Schedule TGSA Sample Page 1 of 4
Energy Charge: 4.508¢ per kWh per month for all onpeak kWh 2.826¢ per kWh per month for all offpeak kWh
- 3. If the higher of (1) the higher of the customer's currently effective onpeak or offpeak contract demand or (2) the customer's highest onpeak or offpeak billing demand during the latest 12-month period is greater than 1,000 kW:
Customer Charge: $460.95 per delivery point per month Demand Charge: $10.89 per kW per month of the customer's onpeak billing demand, plus
$2.58 per month for each kW, if any, of the amount by which the customer's offpeak billing demand exceeds its onpeak billing demand, plus an additional
$10.89 per kW per month for each kW, if any, of the amount by which (1) the customer's onpeak billing demand exceeds the higher of 2,500 kW or its onpeak contract demand or (2) the customer's offpeak billing demand exceeds the higher of 2,500 kW or its offpeak contract demand, whichever is higher Energy Charge: 4.467¢ per kWh per month for all onpeak kWh 2.785¢ per kWh per month for all offpeak kWh Adjustment The base demand and energy charges shall be increased or decreased in accordance with the current Adjustment Addendum published by TVA. (In addition, such charges shall be increased or decreased to correspond to increases or decreases determined by TVA under Adjustment 2 or Adjustment 4 of the wholesale power rate schedule applicable under contractual arrangements between TVA and Distributor.)
Determination of Onpeak and Offpeak Hours Except for Saturdays and Sundays and the weekdays that are observed as Federal holidays for New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day, onpeak hours for each day shall be 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. during calendar months of May through September and from 6 a.m. to 12 noon and from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. during all other calendar months. All other hours of each day and all hours of such excepted days shall be offpeak hours. Such times shall be Central Standard Time or Central Daylight Time, whichever is then in effect. The onpeak and offpeak hours under this rate schedule are subject to change by TVA. In the event TVA determines that such changed onpeak and offpeak hours are appropriate, it shall so notify Distributor at least 12 months prior to the effective date of such changed hours, and Distributor shall promptly notify customer.

Determination of Onpeak and Offpeak Demands and Energy Amounts The onpeak and offpeak kWh for any month shall be the energy amounts taken during the respective hours of the month designated under this rate schedule as onpeak and offpeak hours.
Distributor shall meter the onpeak and offpeak demands in kW of all customers taking service under this rate schedule. The onpeak demand and the offpeak demand for any month shall be determined separately for the respective hours of the month designated under this rate schedule as onpeak and offpeak hours and in each case shall be the higher of the highest average during any 30-consecutive-minute period beginning or ending on a clock hour of the month of (a) the load metered in kW or (b) 85 percent of the load in kVA plus an additional 10 percent for that part of the load over 5,000 kVA, and, except as provided below in this section, such amounts shall be used as the onpeak and offpeak billing demands. The onpeak billing demand shall in no case be less than 30 percent of the customer's onpeak demand amount. The offpeak billing demand shall in no case be less than 30 percent of the customer's offpeak demand amount.
For purposes of this section, the onpeak demand amount referred to above shall be the higher of the currently effective onpeak contract demand or the highest onpeak billing demand established in the preceding 12 months, and the offpeak demand amount referred to above shall be the higher of the currently effective offpeak contract demand or the highest offpeak billing demand established in the preceding 12 months.
Minimum Bill The monthly bill under this rate schedule shall not be less than the sum of (a) the base customer charge, (b) the portion of the base demand charge, as adjusted, applicable to onpeak billing demand applied to the customer's onpeak billing demand, (c) the portion of the base demand charge, as adjusted, applicable to the excess of offpeak over onpeak billing demand applied to the amount, if any, by which the customer's offpeak billing demand exceeds its onpeak billing demand, (d) the base onpeak energy charge, as adjusted, applied to the customer's onpeak energy takings, (e) the base offpeak energy charge, as adjusted, applied to the customer's offpeak energy takings, and (f) the distribution capacity charge applied to the higher of the customer's onpeak or offpeak billing demand; provided, however, under 2 of the Base Charges, the monthly bill shall in no event be less than the sum of (a) the base customer charge, (b) 20 percent of the base onpeak demand charge, as adjusted, multiplied by the customer's onpeak billing demand, (c) 20 percent of the portion of the base demand charge, as adjusted, applicable to the excess of offpeak over onpeak billing demand applied to the amount, if any, by which the customer's offpeak billing demand exceeds its onpeak billing demand, and (d) 20 percent of the distribution capacity charge, as adjusted, applied to the higher of the customer's onpeak or offpeak billing demand.
Distributor may require minimum bills higher than those stated above.
Seasonal Service Customers who contract for service on a seasonal basis shall be limited to 2,500 kW and shall pay the above charges, as adjusted, plus an additional seasonal use charge equal to (1) 1.33¢ per kWh per month under 1 above and (2) $4.00 per kW per month of the higher of the onpeak or offpeak billing demand under 2 and 3 above. Consistent with Distributor's standard policy, the customer may arrange for seasonal testing of equipment during offpeak hours.
For such customers, the minimum bill provided for above shall not apply. Distributor may require additional charges to provide recovery of costs for customer-specific distribution facilities.

Contract Requirement Distributor shall require contracts for all service provided under this rate schedule and such contracts shall be for an initial term of at least 1 year. The customer shall contract for its maximum requirements, which shall not exceed the amount of power capable of being used by customer, and Distributor shall not be obligated to supply power in greater amount at any time than the customer's currently effective contract demand. If the customer uses any power other than that supplied by Distributor under this rate schedule, the contract may include other special provisions. The rate schedule in any power contract shall be subject to adjustment, modification, change, or replacement from time to time as provided under the power contract between Distributor and TVA.
After having received service for at least 1 year under this rate schedule, the customer, subject to appropriate amendments in its power contract with Distributor, may receive service under the General Power Rate--Schedule GSA. In such case the term of the power contract shall remain the same and the contract demand for service under the General Power Rate--Schedule GSA shall not be less than the onpeak contract demand in effect when service was taken under this rate schedule.
Payment Bills under this rate schedule will be rendered monthly. Any amount of bill unpaid after due date specified on bill may be subject to additional charges under Distributor's standard policy.
Single-Point Delivery The charges under this rate schedule are based upon the supply of service through a single delivery and metering point, and at a single voltage. If service is supplied to the same customer through more than one point of delivery or at different voltages, the supply of service at each delivery and metering point and at each different voltage shall be separately metered and billed.
Service is subject to Rules and Regulations of Distributor.
