CP&L Offers New Business Rate Deal
Some commercial and industrial
businesses served by Carolina
Power & Light Co. can now benefit
from a program similar to one
offered to CP&L's residential
customers which allows them to
compare time-of-use rates with
their standard rates.
The program is available to
1,000 of CP&L's commercial and
industrial customers throughout
the company's service area. To
qualify, a customer must have
established an electric demand
between 5 and 999 kilowatts during
at least 3 of the past 12 months.
Once qualified a special time-of
use meter will be installed which
will allow customers to compare the
two rates to determine if they have
a good poteriAftffflr SavhigS'on'the
time-of-use rate.
Under time-of-use rates, elec
tricity costs less during off-peak
hours and more during peak hours.
The special rate offers customers
with the majority of their electricity
usage off-peak or the potential to
shift the majority of their usage to
off-peak periods the opportunity to
save on their electricity bills. It also
encourages conservation at times
when demand for electricity is high,
which will help keep energy costs
down in the long run. according to

"This program allows some of
our commercial and industrial
customers to become familiar with
_the time-of-use concept, at no
charge to them, and provides
sufficient time to decide which
method of billing is the more
economical for their needs,"
Monroe said.
Peak hours from October
through March are weekdays from
6 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 9
p.m. The April through September
peak hours are weekdays from 10
a.m. to 10 p.m.
Volunteers who qualify for the
program will receive a special meter
and a sample time-of-use bill with
their regular bill for 12 months at
no charge. The customer pays only
the regular bill. Following the
12-month period, the customer will
be asked to decide which rate will
be best for his or her needs.
At any time during the trial
period the customer can transfer to
the time-of-use rate. If the decision
is to remain on the standard rate,
the special meter will be removed.
Volunteers for the program will
be drawn from the entire CP&L
service area. The special meters are
being allocated to each of the
company's 52 field offices based
on the number of commercial and
industrial customers served from
each office. Those who request a
meter after the initial supply is
depleted will be placed on a waiting
list.
CP&L customers who would like
more information about the com
mercial/industrial time-of-use rate
or instructions for signing up for
the program shoudl contact their
local CP&L office.
