Standby Rates: Georgia Power Schedule BU-5

Description: Georgia Power provides standby service only to Qualifying Facilities. The applicable standby rate is primarily demand-based, and energy charges are assessed on a declining schedule. Billing demand is based upon the 30-minute maximum during the month. There is a 12-month ratchet. This service is viewed as unfavorable toward CHP.
