For Commercial, Industrial, & Irrigation Members
“Demand” is the total amount of electricity being used by a member at any 1 time. Demand varies from hour to hour, day to day, and season to season. This usage, which is expressed in kilowatts (not kilowatt-hours), is called the “demand” on the system.
The member is charged for the highest recorded demand within the last 30-day billing cycle on the meter. After Wasco Electric reads the meter each month, the demand is reset to zero, and the meter starts over.
