Measurement of load growth will be determined on a monthly basis based on kilowatt-hours of energy compared to the average of the two previous years of the same month. In the event a business is less than two years old, the measurement will be based on the previous year’s bill of the same month. Any month whose previous two-year average electric load is greater than month under consideration will not be eligible for refund.
