The power cost will be calculated using the billing units defined in the same manner as defined in the wholesale rate to the customer, including any ratchet provisions in the wholesale rate. The Customer's billing units may be adjusted for line losses, as determined by the Cooperative, to calculate the Customer's power cost at the wholesale supplier's metering point to the Cooperative.
Facilities Charge
The facilities charge may be applicable to consumers requiring extension of service based on the actual cost of construction plus applicable interest cost {determined by the interest rate of the most current fixed loan), billed to the Customer monthly as developed on the following formula: (Actual Construction Cost + Applicable Interest Cost)/ Term of Agreement = Monthly Charge
Construction Costs
Construction costs for large project investments could be required to be paid upfront entirely in lieu of a facility charge(s). These construction costs are for large projects built for the purpose of servicing load(s) that could be financially detrimental to the cooperative if funds were not collected upfront. These pre-collected construction costs could be paid back to the consumer over time as a credit on the consumer's monthly electric bill if certain minimum usage and load factor parameters are contractually met provided that the Cooperative's financial investment on facilities built do not adversely affect the overall membership.
Minimum Monthly Charge
The minimum monthly charge shall be the service access fee plus the highest 1 of the following charges:
- The service access fee plus all kWh charges, plus the Cooperative's demand charge based on the Cooperative's appropriate demand charge rate times the greatest of 1,000 kW or the current billing month's NCP recorded (metered) kW demand, plus any facilities charges, including all monthly wholesale power supplier charges, and applicable adjustments.
- Minimum as stated in Agreement for Purchase of Power.

WFEC's rate schedule R16 Commercial / Industrial rider rate is the normal rate utilized for the LP-6 rate, but other WFEC rate schedules could be applied if beneficial for both the Consumer and the Cooperative. The Consumer is responsible to pay for any and all demand(s) or other charges according to the WFEC rate through the end of any given calendar year. If WFEC replaces the existing contract rate used by this agreement with a new contract rate, the newest contract rate would immediately be applied to this agreement and any associated fee changes applied.
Peak Demand Period
The Peak Demand Period shall be any day of the year.
Power Factor Adjustment
The consumer agrees to maintain unity power factor as nearly as practicable. The power factor during the month for billing purposes shall be obtained from the measured reactive kilovolt-ampere demand taken during the month. If the power factor during the month is less than ninety percent (90%) lagging or greater than ninety percent (90%) leading, a power factor adjustment shall be applied. Such adjustments shall be based on the higher of a power factor penalty charge from Western Farmers Electric Cooperative, or the amount from increasing the total monthly charges by one percent (1%) for each one percent (1%) that the power factor for the month is less than ninety percent (90%) lagging or greater than ninety percent (90%) leading.
Power Cost Adjustment (PCA)
The PCA shall be passed on to the Consumer using the same factor per kWh as is passed on to the seller as Fuel Adjustments by Cooperative’s wholesale supplier.
Line Loss Adjustment

Tax Adjustment
The above rate shall be subject to an increase or decrease in proportion to the amount of new or increased taxes which the Cooperative may hereafter be required to pay, which are levied, imposed, increased, or decreased by laws or tax rates which were not in effect on April 1, 2024.
