Methodology for ND9 “Code 9” charges
- The Anytime Demand is the highest half-hour demand at any time between 1 April and 31 March, with a minimum chargeable demand of 150kVA.

- Both the Anytime and Shoulder Demand Charges are charged in every month of the year.
- The Reactive Power Charge is currently assessed on the basis of a 0.95 lagging power factor coincident with the highest half-hour demand each month.
Methodology for ND10 “Code 10” charges
- The ND10 Price Plan is an alternative for ICP’s with half-hour metering where the ND9 Price Plan is unsuitable.
