What the filing saysIN EFFECT (Schedule HV-1 effective April 1, 2023; the SCC docket lists changes to HV-1 and a larger HV-2 dedicated facilities schedule as pending, and those changes were not read). The customer signs an electric service agreement at least 12 months before service. The term is negotiable but structured to recover the full cost of distribution and sub-transmission plant; the customer contributes in aid of construction for primary distribution facilities and may buy power from NOVEC (standard or market option) or from a third-party provider. Not available for backup or standby service.
