Arizona

Description: Arizona Public Service Company provides standby service to customers through a specified contract demand. A high demand-based reservation charge in addition to a customer charged is assessed every month, while actual usage is billed through moderate energy charges. Salt River Project provides standby service to customers with loads larger than 3MW. Standby service charges are based upon demand and energy charges that are themselves dependent on daily electricity prices at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. These rates are viewed as neutral toward CHP.
