Electric Rate Structure and Calculations?

The following electric information must be used for questions
$12.00 per kW of billing demand
$0.0535 per kWh for energy consumption
Allowed kVars (with no charge) = 70% of billed demand
Excess kVars billed at $0.85 per kVar
Utility Sales Tax= 5%
Ratchet Clause - 90% of the highest recorded kW during the months of June - August
Month of October:
Actual demand= 1,000 kW Actual KVAR = 800 KVAR
Actual consumption 300,000 kWh
Previous months peak kWd: June- 1I150 kW, July- 1,350 kW, Aug - 1,300 kW,
September- 1,150 kW

*1. What is the total cost of electricity (billing) for the month of October? (Show calculations)*

We in Netherland pay 0.0954 Euro (0.12us$)+0.1334 Energy tax= *0.2288€ (0.2928 us$)* for a KwH *A rip off*

Wow, thats high. I will run you a wire over and send you some juice cheaper--ha ha...

Hi Tom,
If you don't do you own coursework, you will fail your exams.
If we do it all for you, you will never learn the principles.
Use your textbook and the knowledge you have been taught in class to do the calculations.
This advice is for your own benefit.
All the best,
F.

tthat is why in the evening in Amsterdam i neighbohuds where people live you see from outside that only a room or two are lighted and in the chain shops the saving lamps9neon and leds) are selling tremndous.People are aware of the need to save. It is same in other north European countries. In the US they are going wild with energy its an old story.its the same with cars which are in Europe and japan more eficient with higher tech.most cars here are 4 cilindsers 6 cil are big 8 cil are rare.

Being from the central USA and in a relatively simple rate structure I am unfamiliar with some of the terminology being used in here and would like to see the problem worked through. Maybe someone can show it's solution in a few days when it no longer useful for course work My own electric rate is a simple $.114 plus all the fees and taxes that are added on. I do have 5kW of grid tied solar and a 2.4kW grid tied wind turbine. By the way Yorem the 4 and 6 cylinder cars have been the most common in the USA for 10 years now. 8 cylinders are available but are mostly sports cars or luxury cars which almost always have a smaller engine and/or hybrid option

Tom - This is not a class setting or course work. I am trying to figure this out as a intrest to me. If you do not want to contribute any knowledge then piss off...

Tom, with greatest respect, in every detail, your question is worded EXACTLY like a test question on a study course.

For example:
"The following electric information must be used for questions"
and "(Show calculations)"

It looks EXACTLY like you just cut and pasted the text.

Why else would you be wanting to know the cost of 300,000 kWh of electricity ?

We seem to get students wanting all their work done for them quite regularly on this forum.
I am honestly trying to be helpful as I can.

Again Frank, maybe it would be in your best intrest to stop analyzing everybody elses questions and worrying about things that do not concern you. You are not the question police - are you. I didn't think so. If you do not want to share - probabaly because you don't know, than thats fine. Move on dude...

Yoram,

in the state of Utah I pay $0.085/KWH and a voluntary additional $0.02/KWH for renewable energy giving me a total of $0.105/KWH for renewable energy.
