F Change in Customer's Electrical Load
The Cooperative may require information concerning the nature of
the load and electric service requirements as well as the expected
duration of the load Customer shall give written notice to the
Cooperative fifteen (15) days in advance of connecting any motors
or other devices which might increase load above the rated capa-
city of transformer(s) servicing Customer If Customer fails to
give such notice and an overload condition causes damage to the
transformer(s) servicing Customer then Customer shall pay to the
Cooperative the value of such transformer prior to the time it was
damaged less salvage value
If in the judgment of the Cooperative there is an increase in any
electric service requirement for which under standard engineering
practice, it would be desirable to construct additional
facilities then the Cooperative may charge Customer as aid to
construction or as an increased minimum an amount not to exceed
the actual cost of such facilities together with the cost of any
additional facilities required to be constructed by the
Cooperative's wholesale power supplier serving Customer's load
The Cooperative may require the Customer to execute a new contract
for electric service specifying appropriate terms including the
maximum load, increased minimum or aid to construction N
