Conditions of service
In those cases where it is necessary to extend or re-enforce distribution lines, service will be furnished only if the member gives satisfactory assurance supported by a written agreement as to the character, amount, and duration of business offered.
Power factor adjustment
The member agrees to maintain unity power factor as nearly as practicable. Demand charges will be adjusted to correct for average power factors lower than 90% and may be so adjusted for other members if and when the cooperative deems necessary. Such adjustments will be made by increasing the measured demand 1% for each 1% by which the average power factor is less than 90% lagging.
Terms of payment
Each member is responsible for making prompt remittance of the amount specified on their monthly bill prior to the due date. Late payments are subject to a late penalty of 5% of the charges past due.
Illinois Public Utility Tax
The Illinois Public Utility Tax is 5% of gross receipts or .32 cents per kWh, whichever is less.
A Power Cost Adjustment is charged to each member’s account. A Power Cost adjustment is a variable amount that is based on the cooperative’s actual power generation expenses.
