General Service Price Plan for businesses

The General Service Price Plan offers a chance to take advantage of SRP business prices with steady, predictable energy use.

    How it works

    This plan rewards predictability in your business’s energy use.

    Your energy charge is calculated using “stretcher blocks,” which means the price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) decreases as your kWh consumption increases relative to your electric demand (kilowatts used).

    Stretcher block pricing works best for business customers that can keep their energy use as stable or as flat as possible — avoiding spikes in demand.

    In addition to per-kilowatt-hour charges, demand charges and a service charge apply. They are as follows:

    • Summer demand charge: $4.73
    • Summer Peak demand charge: $7.13
    • Winter demand charge: $4.37
    • Monthly service charge: $15.16 plus meter charge (CT/PT $33.78 or demand/non-demand $13.67)

    Note that the demand charges applies to all kW greater than 5 kW for the highest 15-minute demand during the billing cycle. The higher the load factor, the lower the price per kWh.

    How is this plan different from General Service Time-of-Use?

    The biggest difference is that the General Service price plan is designed for businesses that use energy in predictable and stable amounts. The Time-of-Use price plan allows for more variability.

    Let’s compare the General Service (E-36) and Time-of-Use (E-32) price plans side by side.
