NAC538.640. Minimum rate of delivery.

If the Commission requires, a contractor must schedule a minimum rate of delivery during off-peak hours of load, as defined in the contract. The percentage of energy to be taken by the contractors at the minimum scheduled rate of delivery will be established by the Commission on a seasonal basis and may be increased or decreased as conditions dictate. The monthly minimum rate of delivery for each contractor is computed by dividing the number of kilowatt-hours to be taken during the month by a contractor at the minimum rate of delivery by the number of off-peak hours of load in the month. The number of kilowatt-hours to be taken during off-peak hours of load at the minimum rate of delivery from the Boulder Canyon Project must not exceed 25 percent of the contractor’s monthly entitlement of energy. The minimum hourly rate of delivery for capacity scheduled from the Salt Lake City Area Integrated Projects must be 35 percent of the contractor’s scheduled rate of delivery. At no time may the required minimum rate of delivery be greater than the contractor’s actual load.
