Except as otherwise specifically provided for concerning temporary short term service and seasonal service, the rates for electric service are priced upon a monthly basis and provide that service shall be billed at monthly intervals and be subject to any monthly minimum payments.
When applicable optional rate schedules are available, the consumer may not change from one rate schedule to another more frequently than once in any 12 month period. Said change may be made only at the end of the billing period during which the request was made.
The rates named in the rate schedule for each class of service are based upon the supply of service to each consumer for a specific type of service.
When a structure is subdivided and used for multiple purposes (such as a home being converted to a family and business unit), the Cooperative will select the rate to apply to each type of use. Then the service to each type of use must be separately metered and separately billed.
