(a) Will be applied:
(1) From March 1 to October 31, inclusive; and
(2) If the customer concedes to the utility a right to interrupt services to the customer's irrigation pumps under conditions established by the utility and approved by the Commission.

No charges may be included for minimum billings or costs relating to standby, customers or demand. A public utility or cooperative association shall provide such information as is necessary for the Commission to determine the maximum rate for interruptible service pursuant to this section.
