Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 538 - Colorado River Commission of Nevada › MARKETING OF ELECTRIC POWER › General Terms and Conditions › Section 538.640 - Minimum rate of delivery

Current through June 11, 2024
If the Commission requires, a contractor must schedule a
				  minimum rate of delivery during off-peak hours of load, as defined in the
				  contract. The percentage of energy to be taken by the contractors at the
				  minimum scheduled rate of delivery will be established by the Commission on a
				  seasonal basis and may be increased or decreased as conditions dictate. The
				  monthly minimum rate of delivery for each contractor is computed by dividing
				  the number of kilowatt-hours to be taken during the month by a contractor at
				  the minimum rate of delivery by the number of off-peak hours of load in the
				  month. The number of kilowatt-hours to be taken during off-peak hours of load
				  at the minimum rate of delivery from the Boulder Canyon Project must not exceed
				  25 percent of the contractor's monthly entitlement of energy. The minimum
				  hourly rate of delivery for capacity scheduled from the Salt Lake City Area
				  Integrated Projects must be 35 percent of the contractor's scheduled rate of
				  delivery. At no time may the required minimum rate of delivery be greater than
				  the contractor's actual load.

				or of the transformer at the designated points. Each contractor must obtain the
				permission of the Commission for any modification to existing facilities and
				alternate or additional points of delivery. Requests for taps on Western's

				cost associated with obtaining points of delivery or voltage at other than
				those set forth in subsection 1 is the obligation of the contractor.
5. Power from the Boulder Canyon Project will
				be delivered at the Mead substation. If a contractor cannot accept delivery of
				power from the Boulder Canyon Project at the Mead substation, arrangements for

				provisions of this section, the Commission may designate any other points of
				delivery and voltages for points of delivery for the marketing area for the
				Boulder Canyon Project, Parker-Davis Project and Salt Lake City Area Integrated
