The San Marcos City Council approved an increase in electric utility rates for Large Independent, Redundant Service and Large Distributed Generation Standby Service customers during Tuesday's meeting.
“For the Large Independent Redundant Service, that typically would be a large commercial or industrial who wanted to have, say independent lines running from different directions into his site, or her site, so that if you lost service from one direction, you were completely backed up by a service coming from a direction or even from a different substations or on different feeders depending on the reliability that they were you know, seeking out,” said Tyler Hjorth, Director of Utilities for the City of San Marcos
Hjorth said that by doing this, there would be twice the amount of infrastructure and different costs associated with it. The Large Distributed Generation Standby Service, includes commercial customers that have over one megawatt.
