General Service Price Plan
The energy charge of the General Service Price Plan (E-36) uses a declining block structure, which means the price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) declines as consumption increases relative to electric demand (kilowatts used).
A "load factor block" refers to the part of the price structure where the energy charge is dependent
on the amount of energy (kWh) used relative to a customer's demand (kW). A load factor block
encourages customers to keep their energy usage as stable as possible -- avoiding demands that
are extremely high relative to total energy usage. This promotes efficient use and operation of
generation resources.
For more information, you can view the General Service Price Plan sheet (PDF). Also, customers on the General Service plan may choose from several different riders (PDF).
