Common use of Partial Supply Clause in Contracts

Partial Supply. An Eligible Customer may elect to meet any or all of its load requirements from West Kootenay Power. If any Eligible Customer elects to meet part of its load requirements from West Kootenay Power, then the rate for partial supply requirements shall be determined so as to ensure that all other customers receive Fair Treatment. For example, if by taking part of its load to market, an Eligible Customer materially worsens the load factor of that portion of its load which remains with the Utility, the Eligible Customer will compensate for these costs consistent with Fair Treatment. In contrast, if an Eligible Customer materially improves its load factor for the portion of its load remaining with the Utility — for example, by taking its peaking requirements to market - the Eligible Customer will realize the benefits of this in the price it pays for its remaining load (to the extent that this can be accomplished in a manner consistent with Fair Treatment and recovery of the embedded cost of service). In order to satisfy the informational needs of potential partial load Eligible Customers, West Kootenay Power will respond within 15 business days to an Eligible Customer’s inquiry about Utility rate changes (both generation and transmission) that the Eligible Customer will face as a result of its partial load election. New rates will be incorporated by reference in a new contract, and subject to Commission approval.
