Example Using Aggregated Consumption

A customer, Fresh Foods has 10 stores each with its own account and electric service agreement, i.e., each store is billed separately. Fresh Food's head office decides to negotiate a group discount that applies to one or more of the individual stores.

In the following diagram, one store's account is shown.

Example Using Aggregated Consumption

Note the following:

• An SA relationship is created for the energy SA covered by the negotiated terms.
• The service provider in the relationship is the head office.
• This relationship does not have a sub-SA because no additional billing services are provided for each individual covered service agreement.
• Discounts are calculated using the head office discount service agreement and affect only this service agreement and therefore only the head office's account.
• The master SA may have other deregulated relationships, such as the distribution relationship shown.
