Kentucky

Description: Old Dominion Power Company provides standby service to customers under the customer’s regular rate. It does not have a standard standby service rate. Most regular rates have a higher demand component than energy charges, and billing demand is based upon the maximum 15-minute demand during the month. This service is viewed as neutral toward CHP.

Louisville Gas & Electric Company provides standby service under its SS rider. This rate is primarily demand based, but includes a small energy component. Billing demand is based upon the maximum 15 minute monthly demand or 50% of the maximum from the previous June-September period, whichever is higher. This rate is viewed as unfavorable toward CHP.
