For purposes of this subdivision, the costs of the electric commodity shall be excluded from both the irrigation district and electric corporation’s rates. The electrical corporation may recover any difference between its tariffed and discounted service from its remaining customers, allocated as determined by the commission.

Further, there shall be a firewall preventing the reallocation of such differences resulting from discounting to residential customers or to commercial customers with maximum peak demands not in excess of 20 kilowatts.
