Interruptible Load: curtailment options integrated into retail tariffs that provide a rate
discount or bill credit for agreeing to reduce load during system contingencies. It is the
magnitude of customer demand that, in accordance with contractual arrangements, can be
interrupted at the time of the Regional Council’s seasonal peak. In some instances, the
demand reduction may be effected by action of the System Operator (remote tripping) after
notice to the customer in accordance with contractual provisions.
