Rates & Fees
Effective February 1, 2023, the Evolving Industry class will include crypto-mining and its related activities. Grant PUD’s Rate Schedule 17 (RS17) and its Customer Service Policy Section 9.0, Evolving Industry applies to all Evolving Industry customers. Grant PUD will be enforcing Rate Schedule 17 through Customer supplied attestations, load reviews, and other confirmation methods to ensure all cryptocurrency mining is on this rate. If any portion of the load at a premises is crypto mining, the entire load at that premises shall use Rate Schedule 17. Separating the load into Evolving Industry and regular requires the installation of a separate meter for the cryptoming at the Customer’s expense.
For RS17 customer’s larger than 200 kW (RS17B) the majority of electric service cost is due to the demand charge ($28.18/kW) with a smaller energy charge ($0.00389/kWh). A 2-MW Evolving Industry customer with a 92% load factor (Average kW/Peak kW) can expect their all-in cost for electric power to be about $0.04659/kWh.
