SCHEDULE 8
SMALL GENERAL SERVICE
ON-SITE GENERATION
AVAILABILITY
Service under this schedule is available at points on the Company's interconnected system within
the State of Idaho where existing facilities of adequate capacity and desired phase and voltage are
adjacent to the location where Small General Service, On-Site Generation is desired, and where
additional investment by the Company for new transmission, substation or terminal facilities is not
necessary to supply the desired service. This service is available to Customers intending to operate
Small On-Site Generation Systems under this schedule to generate electricity to reduce all or part of their
monthly energy usage.
APPLICABILITY
Effective until a final order is issued that addresses metering configuration for Schedule
84 customers, and any appeal period has passed or the order has been upheld on appeal, existing
Schedule 8 customers who no longer meet the energy usage requirement of Schedule 8 that
‘energy usage is 2,000 kWh, or less, per Billing Period for ten or more Billing Periods during the
most recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods[,]’ can elect Schedule 8.
Service under this schedule is applicable to Electric Service supplied to a Customer at one Point
of Delivery and measured through one meter. This schedule is applicable to Customers whose metered
energy usage is 2,000 kWh, or less, per Billing Period for ten or more Billing Periods during the most
recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods. When the Customer’s Billing Period is less than 27 days or greater
than 36 days, the energy usage will be prorated to 30 days for purposes of determining eligibility under
this schedule. Customers whose metered energy usage exceeds 2,000 kWh per Billing Period on an
actual or prorated basis three times during the most recent 12 consecutive Billing Periods are not eligible
for service under this schedule and will be automatically transferred to the applicable schedule effective
with the next Billing Period. New customers may initially be placed on this schedule based on estimated
usage.
This schedule is also applicable to non-profit or tax supported ball fields, fairgrounds or rodeo
grounds with high demands and intermittent use exceeding 2,000 kWh per month. This schedule is not
applicable to standby service, service for resale, shared service, to individual or multiple family dwellings
first served through one meter after February 9, 1982, or to agricultural irrigation service after October
31, 2004.
Service under this schedule is also subject to the following conditions:
1. Customer owns/and or operates a Generation Facility fueled by solar, wind, biomass,
geothermal, hydropower or represents fuel cell technology, with a total nameplate capacity rating of 25
kilowatts (kW) or less, that is connected in parallel with the Idaho Power System.
2. The Generation Facility is interconnected to the Customer’s individual electric system on
the Customer’s side of the Point of Delivery, thus all energy received and delivered by the Company is
through the Company’s existing watt-hour retail meter.
3. Customer meets all requirements applicable to Small On-Site Generation Systems
detailed in the Company’s Schedule 72, Interconnections to Non-Utility Generation.
