Tenant Electricity Clause Samples
The Tenant Electricity clause defines the responsibilities and arrangements regarding the supply and payment of electricity for the leased premises. Typically, it specifies whether the tenant is required to set up and maintain their own electricity account with the utility provider or if the landlord will supply electricity and bill the tenant separately. For example, the clause may state that the tenant must pay all electricity charges directly or reimburse the landlord for usage based on metered consumption. Its core practical function is to clearly allocate responsibility for electricity costs, preventing disputes and ensuring both parties understand their obligations.

Tenant Electricity. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s pro rata share of the costs of electricity used on the floor on which the Premises are located, in advance on the first day of each month or partial month of the Term, based on amounts estimated by Landlord from time to time for such electricity charges, subject to periodic reconciliations based on actual electricity usage and utility rates for the space and period in question. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed the Building standard usage, per square foot, as reasonably determined by Landlord, based upon the Building standard electrical design load, which is 5 ▇▇▇▇▇ per square foot as of the Effective Date. Landlord shall have the right to measure electrical usage by commonly accepted methods, including the installation of measuring devices such as submeters and check-meters, which to the extent not in place prior to the Effective Date shall be installed at Tenant’s expense if Landlord reasonably believes that Tenant is utilizing more than its pro rata share of electricity. If it is determined, for any electrical service that is not separately check-metered to Tenant, that Tenant is using electricity in such quantities or during such periods as to cause the total cost of Tenant’s electrical usage, on a monthly, per-rentable-square-foot basis, to materially exceed that which Landlord reasonably deems to be standard for the Building, Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent for the cost of such excess electrical usage and, if applicable, for the cost of purchasing and installing the measuring device(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any electricity service is from time to time metered directly by the utility company to the Premises, then (a) Tenant shall timely pay the separate charges for such electricity service directly to the applicable utility company and, if requested by Landlord from time to time, provide copies of such utility company invoices and evidence of such payments, and (b) such electricity costs shall not be included in the calculation of Additional Rent.
Tenant Electricity. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Tenant's Proportionate Share (hereinafter defined) of the cost incurred by the Landlord in furnishing electricity and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning ("HVAC") to the Building and the Site, including common areas and facilities and space occupied by tenants, (but expressly excluding utility charges separately chargeable to tenants for additional or special services and except as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), and Tenant shall pay on account thereof, at the time that monthly installments of Annual Fixed Rent are due and payable, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to 1/12th (prorated for any partial month) of the amount estimated by Landlord from time to time as the Tenant's Proportionate Share of the annual cost thereof. If with respect to any calendar year falling within the Term or fraction of a calendar year falling within the Term at the beginning or end thereof, the Tenant's Proportionate Share of the cost of furnishing electricity and HVAC to the Building and the Site exceeds the amounts payable on account thereof, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Tenant of the statement referred to below in this Section 2.8, Tenant's Proportionate Share of the amount of such excess. For and with respect to the electricity and HVAC of the Building, the Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant's Space and denominator of which is the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building, and for and with respect to the electricity for the Site the Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant's Space and denominator of which is the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2.5 and in this Section 2.8 or elsewhere in this Lease, in the event that Tenant installs and or uses any special, supplemental or additional HVAC equipment or has any above normal building hours requirements for HVAC, Tenant shall pay the entire cost of electricity therefor on terms specified by Landlord. Not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the first calendar year or fraction thereof ending December 31 and of each succeeding calendar year during the Term or fraction thereof at the end of the Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a reasonably detailed acco...
Tenant Electricity. Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term (as it may be extended), Tenant covenants and agrees to pay directly to the appropriate utility company providing electricity to the Site, as Additional Rent, all electricity charges for lights, power and heating, ventilating and air conditioning consumed at the Premises (“Tenant Electricity”) and all electricity for exterior lighting of the Building (and not the exterior of the Additional Building) (“Exterior Electricity”). There are presently two (2) electric meters, one of which reads the electricity to power heating, ventilating and air-conditioning to the Premises and the other reads both the Exterior Electricity and the Tenant Electricity and Tenant shall be responsible for the full payment of all electrical charges associated with both meters. Tenant covenants and agrees to take all steps required by the appropriate utility company to provide for the direct billing to Tenant of the Tenant Electricity and the Exterior Electricity including, without limitation, making application(s) to such utility company in connection therewith and making any deposits (including, but not limited to, such letters of credit) as such utility company shall require. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay, before delinquency, all electricity charges and rates for and relating to the Tenant Electricity and the Exterior Electricity and from time to time if requested by Landlord to provide Landlord with evidence of payment to, and good standing with, such utility company as Landlord may reasonably require.
Tenant Electricity. Effective as of the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term, for so long as Tenant shall be directly (which shall include any permitted sublease or assignment under this Lease) leasing the Building in its entirety, Tenant covenants and agrees to make application to the appropriate utility company or utility provider for electrical service to the Building in the quantum required for Tenant’s use of the Building and to make any deposit (including but not limited to, such letters of credit) as such utility company or provider shall require. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay, punctually as and when due, all electricity charges and rates for and relating to the Building and from time-to-time if requested by Landlord to provide Landlord with evidence of payment to, and good standing with, such utility company or provider as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant further covenants and agrees to defend, save harmless and, indemnify Landlord against all liability, cost and damage arising out of or in any way connected to the payment, nonpayment or late payment of any and all charges or deposits to such utility company or provider. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
Tenant Electricity. (A) As of the date of this Lease, there are two (2) separate check meters (“Main Check Meters”) installed to measure tenant electric usage on the floor of the Building where the Premises are located (i.e. the Fifth Floor West of the Building (being a multi-tenant floor)). If the Main Check Meters serve only the Premises, it (they) is (are) herein referred to as a “dedicated” Main Check Meter; if it (they) serves the Premises in common with other premises, it (they) is (are) herein referred to as a “shared” Main Check Meter. Such Main Check Meter shall only measure electricity used for lights and electrical equipment utilized in the Premises, and fan-powered and variable air volume boxes which are part of the HVAC system serving the Premises. Any further equipment (including supplemental HVAC equipment) installed by or for Tenant shall have separate check meter(s) (“Supplemental Check Meters”) installed at Tenant’s expense. On the Fifth FloorWest there shall be one or more Main Check Meter(s) serving all of that section of the floor, and on Fifth Floor West Landlord may require that the tenants (at their sole cost and expense) install Main Check Meters relating to their premises (to the extent there are no Main Check Meters already installed serving only such premises) and Supplemental Check Meters to separately meter special usage within tenant premises such as computer rooms. With respect to any portion of the Premises that may in the future not be separately check metered on a dedicated Main Check Meter, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant to install dedicated Main Check Meter(s) serving solely such portion of the Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
(B) Tenant’s share of the costs of electricity shall be determined by Landlord on the following basis:
(i) Landlord will cause the check meters serving the Premises to be read periodically, but not less often than once every six (6) months during the first two (2) years of the Term and once every twelve (12) months thereafter. Tenant shall have reasonable access to such check meters to read the same.
(ii) For portions of the Premises served by dedicated Main Check Meter(s), and for all Supplemental Check Meter(s) serving the Premises, Tenant’s allocable share of electricity costs for the period (“Tenant’s Electricity Payment”) shall be determined by multiplying the actual average cost per kilowatt hour by the number of kilowatt hours utilized by Tenant for such period as indi...
Tenant Electricity. Landlord shall allocate the costs of furnishing electricity for lights and plugs and the distribution components of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system to Tenant in accordance with the procedure contained in Exhibit H, and Tenant shall pay for such costs as provided in said Exhibit H.
Tenant Electricity. The Premises shall be check metered for electricity by Landlord as part of the Initial Tenant Work, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall ▇▇▇▇ Tenant monthly for such electricity charges based on actual check-meter readings and utility rates for the space and period in question, and Tenant shall pay such charges to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of each invoice. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed the Building’s standard capacity, as reasonably determined by Landlord, based upon the Building standard electrical design load. The Building’s 4000 amp, 480/277 volt electrical service can accommodate lab tenants with an approximate 50-50 split between office and laboratory use within each tenant premises located on the first floor of the Building. The estimated electrical load for lighting, receptacle and ventilation allocated in each tenant premises is 6 va per square foot for office space, and 18 va per square foot for laboratory space.
Tenant Electricity. Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, install and deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with separate meters installed to measure the electrical consumption in each of the Buildings comprising the Premises. Effective as of the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term, for so long as Tenant shall be directly leasing any of the Buildings in their entirety, Tenant covenants and agrees to make application to the appropriate utility company or utility provider for electrical service to any such Building or Buildings being directly leased in its or their entirety by Tenant and to make any deposit (including but not limited to, such letters of credit) as such utility company or provider shall require. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay, punctually as and when due, all electricity charges and rates for and relating to the Buildings and from time-to-time if requested by Landlord to provide Landlord with evidence of payment to, and good standing with, such utility company or provider as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant further covenants and agrees to defend, save harmless and, indemnify Landlord against all liability, cost and damage arising out of or in any way connected to the payment, nonpayment or late payment of any and all charges or deposits to such utility company or provider. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease for a period of twelve (12) full calendar months.
Tenant Electricity. As part of the Initial Tenant Work, Landlord shall deliver the Premises separately metered for electricity; provided, however, that if separate metering is not allowed by the utility company, then Landlord instead shall install sub-meters or check meter for the Premises. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed the Building’s standard capacity, as reasonably determined by Landlord, based upon the Building standard electrical design load. To the extent the Premises are separately metered, Tenant shall timely pay the separate charges for such electricity service directly to the applicable utility company. With respect to the electricity charges hereunder that are not separately metered, Tenant shall make estimated monthly payments for such electricity charges hereunder, in advance on the first day of each month or partial month of the Term, based on amounts estimated by Landlord from time to time for such electricity charges, subject to periodic reconciliations based on actual meter readings and utility rates for the space and period in question.
