NOTICE OF A CHANGE IN THE TARIFFS
OF
MOUNTAIN PARKS ELECTRIC, INC.
321 WEST AGATE
P.O. BOX 170
GRANBY, COLORADO 80446
You are hereby notified that the above-named Corporation proposes to remove all provisions of Tariff 202.13 Standby Service Rider and replace such provisions with the following, to become effective December 1, 2025:
202.13 Standby Service Rider
A. Applicability
Applicable to Member-generators served pursuant to the Small Power or Large Power rate classes who supply all or part of such Member-generator’s own load, with generation system(s) that do not qualify as an Eligible Generating System pursuant to Cooperative’s Tariff 330.02.
B. Standby Capacity Charge per kW, per Month:
Member-generators shall be charged the following monthly rates for standby capacity per kW of Member-generator’s maximum demand service requirements.
- Small Power (6): $5.87 per kW
- Large Power (7): $5.87 per kW
- Large Power Primary (7P) $5.69 per kW
- Large Power (8): $13.08 per kW
- Large Power Primary (8P): $10.61 per kW
C. Determination of Standby Capacity
Standby capacity is defined as the number of kilowatts (kW) of the Member’s maximum demand service requirements applied for by the Member, as determined by the Cooperative; provided, however, if the standby capacity is exceeded by the Cooperative’s recorded demand of the Member’s actual usage, such recorded demand shall become the new standby capacity. This new standby capacity will be used commencing with the month in which the recorded demand (in excess of the previous mutually agreed upon standby capacity) occurs and continue until it is superseded by a higher recorded demand.
D. Monthly Demand Charge
The Cooperative will bill the Member a monthly demand charge that is the greater of: (1) the Member’s actual demand charge calculated under the applicable rate schedule; or (2) the standby capacity charge calculated using the applicable standby capacity rate provided herein multiplied by the Member’s maximum demand service requirements established herein.
E. Metering
Thirty-minute time registration demand metering shall be required. The meter shall be capable of being electronically read by the Cooperative. The output of the Member’s generator may be separately metered at the discretion of the Cooperative and must be metered separately if aggregate generation is above 150kW. The Member is responsible for the cost of the meter and communications to the meter. The Cooperative will provide specification on the type of meter equipment and communications to the meter.
F. Special Terms and Conditions
In order to protect its equipment from overload damage, the Cooperative may require the Member to install at the Member’s expense an approved shunt trip type breaker and an approved automatic pole-mounted disconnect.
In the event the Member’s use of service is intermittent or subject to unreasonable fluctuations as determined by the Cooperative, the Cooperative will require the Member to install and maintain at the Member's expense suitable equipment to satisfactorily limit such fluctuations.
Member’s generating equipment cannot backfeed onto the MPE system. If Member’s equipment is found to be backfeeding, their service will be disconnected and the Member will be required to provide proof that the system will not backfeed in the future. The Member will be charged the following monthly rates per kW backfeed on the MPE system.
- Small Power (6): $11.74
- Large Power (7): $11.74
- Large Power Primary (7P) $11.39
- Large Power (8): $26.16
- Large Power Primary (8P): $21.20
If the actions or operations of one or more Member-Generators result in penalties, charges, or additional costs being assessed to the Cooperative under its wholesale power or transmission agreements, the Cooperative reserves the right to allocate those costs proportionally across all Member-Generators receiving standby service. This ensures that the financial impact of exceeding contractual thresholds is shared equitably among the Member-Generator group.
G. Liability and Indemnification
The Cooperative and the Member-Generator shall indemnify, defend, and save the other party harmless from any and all damages, losses, or claims, including claims and actions relating to injury to or death of any person or damage to property, demand, suits, recoveries, costs and expenses, court costs, attorney fees, and all other obligations by or to third parties, arising out of or resulting from the other party’s action or failure to act in relation to any obligations under this standby rider or under Colorado Revised Statute § 40-9.5-118, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing by the indemnified party.
The proposed and present tariff provisions are available for examination and explanation at each business office of MPEI, 321 West Agate, P.O. Box 170, Granby, Colorado 80446 (970-887-3378), and 600 3rd Street, Walden, CO 80480 (970-723-4500).
Anyone who desires to complain about the proposed changes shall file a written complaint with the Corporation at 321 West Agate, P.O. Box 170, Granby, Colorado 80446, at least 10 days before the proposed effective date. In any such complaint, a request for a hearing on the complaint should be made if you wish such a hearing.
The Corporation may hold a hearing to determine what changes will be authorized. The changes ultimately authorized may or may not be the same as those proposed and may include changes different than those tariffs proposed or currently in effect. Anyone who desires to receive notice of hearing, if any, shall make a written request therefore to the Corporation, at the above address, at least 10 days before the proposed effective date.
