You are hereby notified that UNITED POWER, INC. (United Power) proposes to make changes to several of its rate tariff schedules to become effective for energy usage on or after Jan. 1, 2024 (billings issued after Feb. 1, 2024*). An increase is necessary for all rate classes due to increased wholesale power supply costs and increased distribution expenses since the last increase effective Jan. 1, 2020. There will be a 9% increase to Industrial Service Substation or Transmission Service (ITD4) and a 9.1% increase to Industrial Service Substation or Transmission Service (ITD1). There will be a 9.2% increase to Industrial Service Substation or Transmission Service (ITD2) and 9.3% increase to Small Industrial Primary (SIP1). The Residential (R1) rate class, Large Commercial Coincidental Peak Secondary Demand (CPS1), and the Industrial Service Substation or Transmission Service (ITD3) will have a rate increase of 9.5%. There will be a 9.6% increase to Small Commercial (C1), Large Commercial Secondary Demand Service (ISD1), Large Commercial Coincidental Peak Primary Demand (CPP1), and a 9.8% increase to Residential On-Peak Demand Time-of-Use Service rate (RDP1).

The PCA for each rate will be listed on the PCA rate tariff (7.1), and the change in demand will be listed on each applicable rate tariff. Net Metering Service will reflect an increase in the rated capacity limit from 120% to 200% of annual energy usage, and the Electric Vehicle Charges under the pilot program will be updated to an established program.
In addition to rate tariff changes, there are several modifications to update and reflect current business practices in the Rules and Regulations. These updates are to become effective on or after Jan. 1, 2024. Staff has reviewed the current Rules and Regulations tariffs. Business units across the organization were involved in the review. The following main areas have been identified needing revisions or updating: (1) incorporating Regulatory Policy, (2) incorporating Line Extension Policy, (3) updates to Service Connection and Line Extension Fee Schedule, (4) formatting and grammatical updates for ease of use, consistency, and clarity, and (5) updates for Current Business Practices to reflect technological changes, system changes, and efficiencies.
The present and proposed tariff provisions are available for examination at the Coal Creek Branch Office, located at 5 Gross Dam Road, Golden, Colorado; the headquarters office located at 500 Cooperative Way, Brighton, Colorado, and the Carbon Valley Branch office at 9586 E. I-25 Frontage Road, Longmont, Colorado.
Anyone who desires to comment about the proposed changes shall file either an informal complaint or a formal complaint with United Power at 500 Cooperative Way, Brighton, Colorado 80603 at least 10 days before the proposed effective date.
An informal complaint shall be in writing and shall contain such facts and other information to adequately state the reason(s) for the complaint. An informal complaint shall be considered by United Power, in regard to the proposed tariff changes, but will not require that a hearing be held.
Anyone who desires a hearing must file a specific and formal complaint to the proposed changes and a request for hearing at least 10 days before the proposed effective date.

If proper formal complaints and request for hearings are timely filed, the United Power Board of Directors shall schedule a hearing. The changes ultimately authorized may or may not be the same as those proposed and may include changes different than those tariffs proposed or currently in effect.
