The power-factor rule
We Energies Power-factor rule confirmed
Large primary-voltage customers have on-peak billed demand adjusted up or down around an 85% power factor. Secondary-voltage commercial schedules have no power-factor adjustment.
Cp 1 General Primary time-of-use (the same formula appears in Cp FN, Cp 3, Cp 3S and Cp 4). Applies to: Three-phase primary service (about 3,810 V and up), with a monthly minimum billed on-peak demand of 300 kW. On-peak billed demand is adjusted by the peak-period power factor (from kWh and lagging kVARh). Below 85%, billed demand rises; above 85%, it falls. Under Cp FN there is no credit for leading power factor. Below 85%: billed on-peak demand = measured × [1 + 0.65 × (0.85 − PF)]. Above 85%: measured × [1 − 0.5 × (PF − 0.85)].
