What is OCEC proposing to add as an annual peak demand threshold to the existing annual energy threshold?

Beginning on January 1, 2026, OCEC proposes to add annual peak demand thresholds in addition to the energy thresholds to the General Service rate classes in the following amounts:

  • G1 – Up to 20kW of annual peak demand
  • G2 – Over 20kW and under 40kW of annual peak demand
  • G3 – Over 40kW and under 100kW of annual peak demand
  • G4 – Over 100kW of annual peak demand

These annual peak demand thresholds will be added to the existing annual energy thresholds, and OCEC will place Members in the highest rate class based on annual energy usage or annual peak demand.
