The Demand Side Initiative Rider Bill
Four monthly charges make up the customer's DSIR bill:
- The base bill. All non-energy charges are applied to the actual demand energy at the standard LP-4, LP-5, LP-6, IS-P, or IS-T rate schedule to calculate the base bill. Energy charges for CRL kWh are also included in the base bill. All applicable riders and taxes are applied to the base bill.
- Charges or credits for actual hourly energy use that is greater or less than the CRL. These figures are calculated hourly using the PJM LMP for the PPL Electric Utilities zone.
- $349.27 program participation charge. This covers the costs of administering the program, transmission and metering equipment, software costs and other miscellaneous costs.
- Gross receipts tax (currently 5.0%).
