Methodology for ND9 “Code 9” charges

• The Anytime Demand is highest half-hour demand at any time between 1 April and 31 March, with a minimum chargeable demand of 150kVA.
• The Shoulder Demand is the average of the six highest daily half-hour demands from 0700-1000 and 1700-2130 from May to September with a minimum chargeable demand of 150kVA.
• Both the Anytime and Shoulder Demand Charges are charged in every month.
• The Reactive Penalty Charge is assessed on the basis of a 0.95 lagging power factor coincident with the highest half-hour demand each month.

Methodology for ND10 “Code 10” charges

• The ND10 plan is an alternative for ICP’s with half-hour metering where the ND9 plan is unsuitable.
• The Excess Reactive Charge is assessed on the basis of an average 0.95 power factor over an entire month.

Note: ND 9 and ND10 are only available at ICP’s with half-hour metering.  Switches to or from ND9 and ND10 can only be made on the first day of a month.
