Current through June 24, 2024
(1)
				RELOCATION AND REBUILDING OF EXISTING DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES. Where
				responsibility can be determined by the utility, the customer responsible for
				relocation, rebuilding, or other modifications of existing distribution
				facilities shall pay a contribution equal to the full estimated cost of
				construction including the cost of removal of existing distribution facilities
				and less the accumulated depreciation and the salvage value of facilities
				removed. The costs and credits shall be determined from the available records
				of the utility. The utility shall endeavor to maintain records that permit a
				reasonable calculation of these costs and credits. The contribution shall be
				refundable as additional customers attach to the facilities for which the
				customer made a contribution unless the additional customers require a new
				extension under s.
				PSC
				113.1003(1). (See s.
				PSC
				113.1007(1).)
(2) REPLACEMENT OF OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION
				FACILITIES WITH UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES. A customer requesting the
				utility to replace existing overhead distribution facilities with underground
				distribution facilities shall pay the full estimated cost of construction
				including the cost of removal of existing distribution facilities less the
				accumulated depreciation and the salvage value of the existing overhead
				facilities which are removed. This contribution shall be refundable as
				additional customers attach to facilities for which the customer made a
				contribution if the cost of the required distribution facilities to serve the
				new customer is less than the appropriate embedded cost allowance.
(3) UPGRADE OF DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES.
(a)
Due to change in load.
Customers who request an upgrading of the utility distribution facilities due
				to a change in the character of their load shall pay for the construction costs
				incurred by the utility to provide the requested additional
				facilities.
(b)
Demand
				schedule.
Customers who are served under a demand rate schedule shall
				receive an embedded cost allowance. The kilowatts of demand to be used in
				determining the allowance shall be the customer's average billed demand after
				the upgrade less the customer's average billed demand before the
				upgrade.
(c)
Customers
				transferring to a different energy-only classification.
If a customer
				served under an energy-only subclassification prior to the upgrade qualifies
				for a different energy-only subclassification after the upgrade, the customer
				shall receive a cost allowance equal to the difference between the embedded
				cost allowances.
(d)
Customers transferring to a demand classification.
If a
				customer is served under an energy-only classification prior tot he upgrade,
				the customer shall receive an embedded cost allowance. The kilowatts of demand
				to be used in determining the allowance shall be the customer's average billed
				demand after the upgrade less an estimate of the customer's prior average
				demand.
