The power-factor rule

Xcel Energy (Northern States Power – Wisconsin) Partly confirmed

Larger time-of-day customers are billed on-peak demand scaled up when the average on-peak power factor is below 90%. The only copy of the rate book we could read online is from 2020, so current details need checking.

Cg-7 General time-of-day; Cg-9 Large General time-of-day (Cp-1 and Cp-3 have a separate power-factor charge). Applies to: Cg-9 is mandatory at 200 kW or more for 4 of 12 months. The Cg-7 and Cp-3 provisions apply above 100 kW on-peak for 4 of 12 months. When the average on-peak power factor is below 90%, on-peak billing demand is scaled up. Only lagging kVARh counts, and distribution demand is not adjusted. On-peak billing demand = greatest 15-minute on-peak kW × 0.90 / average on-peak PF.

The online rate book is out of date and later rate cases exist, so check the current filed sheet or send us your bill.
