  3. Specifically, RMP seeks authority to limit the Line Extension Allowance to the cost of required metering equipment for customers requesting service greater than 25,000 kVA and delivery at less than 46 kV, effective December 1, 2023, or sooner. Under the current Rule 12, customers requesting loads greater than 1,000 kVA and delivery at less than 46 kV have an Extension Allowance equal to the estimated annual revenue paid to RMP. Large load customers requesting delivery greater than 46 kV have an Extension Allowance equal to the metering equipment.
  4. The Application states large upfront capital investments for infrastructure are necessary to provide service and for RMP to meet its requirements as a utility provider to its large load customers. To reduce the risk to existing customers of incurring the costs of infrastructure and equipment that only benefits the requesting large load customer, these changes are being requested. Large load customer requirements and responsibilities, including the purchase and operation of sole use equipment and the costs associated with installation, are detailed in the Application.
