5 Minute Response (5MR)

5 Minute Response (5MR) is an interruptible program available to both SIC and non-SIC customers who are able to curtail load within 5 minutes during periods of high electric demand. In exchange for interruption capabilities within a 5-minute notice, customers can receive a fixed credit towards their monthly demand charges. To qualify, commercial and industrial customers must have a minimum monthly electric demand load of 1,000kW at a single delivery point, demonstrate a minimum of 500kW Effective Interruptible Demand, and have an average load factor greater than 40%.

Small Manufacturing Credit

In coordination with TVA, JCPB offers the Small Manufacturing Credit to qualifying manufacturers. The purpose of this credit program is to avoid potential losses of manufacturing load to the TVA service area, which would threaten the ability to keep rates low for all consumers. The credit offers significant power cost savings to qualifying manufacturers, which in turn helps retain manufacturing load. Everyone benefits when there are manufacturing jobs available.

The credit is available under Part 3 of the GSA or TGSA schedules to manufacturing customers that meet the following requirements:

Contract demand greater than 1,000 kW but not more than 5,000 kW, and Meet the SIC code requirement for Manufacturing: (20 through 39).

Customers who meet the above criteria are automatically added to our list of qualified accounts to receive the Small Manufacturing Credit.
