Abstract
Georgia Power's Off-Peak Rider encourages load reductions up to 40% during on-peak periods over four summer months each year. Since summer on-peak time represents about 50% of available time, the customer's productive summer capacity may be reduced 20%, or about 7% annually. Billing demand is reduced year round in proportion to cut-backs taken during the summer on-peak period. Examples will be developed that quantity benefits to large, high load factor customers of Georgia Power Company who have elected to take service under provisions of the off-peak rider.
