The power-factor rule
Alliant Energy (Wisconsin Power and Light) Power-factor rule confirmed
Only the very large Cp-2 transmission schedule has a reactive-energy charge in the schedules we reviewed; WPL's General Rules were not checked.
Cp-2 Industrial Power at Transmission Voltage, time-of-use. Applies to: Loads of 5 MW or more that can be served at 69 kV or higher (limited exceptions). Reactive energy above the level that corresponds to a 90% power factor is charged; a power factor above 90% earns a credit. Billed reactive energy = rkVAh − (kWh × 0.484), at $0.001015 per rkVAh. (0.484 is about tan(arccos 0.90); that equivalence is our calculation.)
Not established WPL General Rules (Sheet 40.00). Applies to: All customers. Not reviewed. The rate-book PDF did not include the General Rules, so we cannot say whether they contain a power-factor requirement.
- WPL's General Rules volume was not checked.
