Universal Citation: HI Admin Rules 6-74-25

Current through August, 2024

(a) Rates for sale:

(1) Shall be just and reasonable and in the public interest; and

(2) Shall not discriminate against any qualifying facility in comparison to rates for sales to other customers served by the electric utility.

(b) Rates for sales which are based on accurate data and consistent systemizde costing principles shall not be considered to discriminate against any qualifying facility to the extent that such rates apply to the utility's other customers with similar load or other cost-related characteristics.

(c) Rates for sales shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions of an applicable rate schedule filed with the commission.

(d) Upon request of a qualifying facility, each electric utility shall provide:

(1) Supplementary power;

(2) Back-up power;

(3) Maintenance power; and

(4) Interruptible power.

(e) The commission, upon its own motion or upon an application by an electric utility, may waive any requirement of subsection (d) if, after notice in the area served by the electric utility and after opportunity for public comment, the electric utility demonstrates and the commission finds that compliance with the requirement will:

(1) Impair the electric utility's ability to render adequate service to its customers; or

(2) Place an undue burden on the electric utility.

(f) Rates for additional services shall be in accordance with a regularly filed schedule or as agreed upon by the qualifying facility and the electric utility, subject to approval by the commission before those rates take effect.

(g) Rates for sale of back-up power or maintenance power:

(1) Shall not be based upon an assumption unless supported by factual data, that forced outages or other reductions in electric output by all qualifying facilities of an electric utility's system will occur simultaneously, or during the system peak, or both; and

(2) Shall take into account the extent to which scheduled outages of the qualifying facilities can be usefully coordinated with scheduled outages of the utility's facilities.
