c.Method of Service
2
1. Involve us as early as possible in the site selection process so that we can determine the best method of service.
2. Determining the proper method of service helps optimize electric service.
Method of Service is determined by several factors:
1. Electrical load (DEMAND in kW and USAGE in kWh)
2. Nature of the prospect’s electrical load
3. Infrastructure available in proximity of a particular site
4. Cost and practicality (4:1 non-fuel revenue credit)

Method of Service
When a business requires new electric service, please keep in mind….
Loads greater than 15 MW generally will be evaluated to determine if service is provided directly from transmission system (115 kV or 230 kV).
Special service requirements, such as the need for alternate or dual feed service, will require additional charges.

How we Develop a Rate Quote
With some understanding of the customer’s operations, the utility professional can help determine load factor, which is helpful in estimating power cost.
We need:
Peak demand in kW (maximum rate at which power is consumed)
Consumption in kWh (amount consumed per month)
Delivery voltage required
Approximate hours of daily operation (if available)

c.Economic Development Rider
Virginia SCC passed an Economic Development Rider (EDR) in June 2013 allowing for qualifying industrial customers (including data centers) to receive a 5-year discount adding up to approximately $1M depending on load.

Dominion Industrial Rates Consistently Below the National Average Since Reregulation
Source for national average: Edison Electric Institute, Typical Bills and Average Rates Report, industrial, 1,000 kW demand and 650,000 kWh usage, monthly, annualized for rates effective January 1 and July 1, of each respective year. National average for July 2014-July 2015 reflects rates in effect July 1, 2014 – latest data available. .

PROJECT DETAILSLength: Approximately 554 miles
Pipe: West Virginia: 42-inch diameter Virginia: 42-inch diameter North Carolina: 36-inch diameterSecondary line: 20-inch diameter
Capacity: 1.5 billion cubic feet/day
Three compressor station locations: 1. Lewis County, West Virginia 2. Buckingham County, Virginia3. Northampton County, North Carolina
Route: A proposed route is being studied. Dominion is collecting data through surveys and consultations with landowners and other stakeholders to determine the best route with the fewest potential impacts to environmental, cultural and historical resources.

From Generation to the Customer
Transmission Line Notes:
Transmission Line – Very large industrial or commercial customers are sometimes served from transmission lines when load requirements or unusual circumstances justify
Rights of Way – Transmission lines are located on purchased or leased rights of way – making them very expensive to maintain, alter or expand Can be from 100 ft up to 200 ft wide.
Distribution - Underground distribution, 15 ft. wide. Overhead distribution up to 30 ft. wide.

• Time-of-Use Rate – cost varies according to time of day; provides cost savings if a customer can adjust load to off-peak times.

c.Water-to-Electric Analogy
Voltage (volts) is like pressure in the pipe (in pounds per square inch)
kW Demand (of kW) is similar to the flow rate of water in the pipe (gallons per minute). Peak electric demand is highest used 30 minutes within a month.
Consumption (of kWh) is similar to the gallons of water in the bucket. For determining the power bill, the period utilized is a month.

c.Power Reliability and Power Quality
22
Utilities distinguish between these two terms, usually based upon how long the event lasts
Power Reliability refers to whether the power is on or off – usually represents outages greater than five seconds. Power reliability is impacted by weather, animals, vehicles, equipment malfunction, and sometimes utility operations. Alternative feeds and generators are back-up power systems that may be purchased to improve reliability.

c.Power Reliability and Power Quality
23
Power Quality relates to the “purity” of the power that flows into the facility. Power quality incidents include sags, surges, transients, bugs, and other “glitches.” These events usually have short durations (fractions of a second). Power quality requirements are often driven by the customer’s equipment needs. Power quality performance may be impacted by neighboring customers, the power company, or other equipment inside the customer’s facility. The solutions to power quality issues are highly customized and typically occur on the customer’s side of the utility meter. Some solutions include UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and other systems, which are designed for intermittent short-term voltage support.

Power Reliability and Power Quality
Dominion can help design protective schemes to minimize interruptions on both sides of the meter:
Design coordination of production equipment
Onsite back-up generation
UPS systems
Alternate or dual feed service
Voltage regulation (on utility side of meter)

• Customer contracts with Dominion to purchase specified amounts of renewable energy as determined by the customer.• Renewable energy supplier will sign a power purchase agreement with Dominion equal to the amount of renewable energy to be purchased under the customer’s contract.• The remainder of the customer’s energy requirements, as well as all of the customer’s capacity requirements, will continue to be provided under their existing Rate Schedule GS-3 or GS-4.
