This document contains sample rate schedules for a range of customer classes.
Although subject to variation across the distribution utilities they should prove useful
examples in the formation of utility-specific rate schedules.
The full range of potential rate (customer) classes are included in distribution
wheeling service despite the fact that the contestable market will be limited for some
time. Inclusion of the smaller customer classes is important, however, for retail service
and when they become contestable, the schedules will already exist. It also does not
require much additional effort since the retail rates must be unbundled anyway. It is
important to understand that the suppliers are the actual customers purchasing
wheeling service, not the retail customers themselves. The use of “P” stands for a rate
in pesos.
