A contribution in aid of construction for overhead line extensions (CIACOH) in excess of 500 feet for permanent residential dwellings and 250 feet for all other services will be calculated by the Cooperative and charged to the members based on one of the following methods:

1.  The current average cost per foot of the excess primary line (wire and poles) not to exceed $4.00 per foot for single phase service or $8.00 per foot for three-phase service, excluding right-of-way clearing costs; or

2.  An alternative CIAC charge (at the Cooperative’s discretion) for those members in rate classes that pay only energy charges shall be calculated as follows:

CIACOH = A – (B x C x Estimated Annual kWh usage); or

3. An alternative CIAC charge (at the Cooperative’s discretion) for those members in rate classes that pay both energy charges and demand charges, the CIAC shall be calculated as follows:

CIACOH = A – (B x C x Estimated Annual kWh usage) – (B x D); where

A = the actual or estimated job cost for the additional new poles and conductor and the appropriate fixtures required to provide service, excluding transformers, service drops and meters not to exceed $4.00 per foot for single phase service or $8.00 per foot for three-phase service, excluding right-of-way clearing costs.

B = amount of time (four years)

C = the cents per kWh energy charge less wholesale power cost per kWh sales over the new line. (.05)

D = the expected annual demand (kW) charge revenues from sales over the new line.

The expected energy (kWh) sales and demand (kW) charge revenues in C and D above shall be based on an annual period ending not more than four (4) years after the extension is placed in service.
