Tariffs

Tariff schedules are the effective rates, charges, and rules of the Utility. When commercial and industrial customers start service with the Utility, they are assigned to an appropriate tariff for electric and gas service. This is shown as the "Service/Rate" on the electric and gas bill.

Analysis of utility tariffs applicable to Distributed Generation, and determining if a system will qualify for a particular tariff, is a vital part of a project planning and feasibility study. Impact of changing tariffs should be fully understood before making a decision to proceed with the project.

Note on tariffs: customers can request a tariff/rate analysis from their utility account representative to see if they would benefit from being on a different rate.

CSI Testimonial

"Sustainble development has always been a core value of Stone Brewing Co's business perspective; from the all-natural ingredients in its acclaimed beers to the emphasis on local, organically produced food on the menu to the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens. ln line with this philosophy, installing a photovoltaic solar system on the rooftop seemed like the obvious next step. Stone Brewing is very proud to announce the new 276.9 kW system supplies the brewery with the significant portion of about 40% of its total electrical power. This saves a considerable sum of money each month! And the hefty rebate checks received are just the icing on the cake."

Notable & Quotable

"The scientists are virtually screaming from the rooftops now. The debate is over! There's no longer any debate in the scientific community about this. But the political systems around the world have held this at arm's length because it's an inconvenient truth, because they don't want to accept that it's a moral imperative."

- Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth
