Using the Choice Component Sum Option–example

---

You can use the “Sum” option of the Choice Component to create a single line item for three separate demand components. For example, you may have a demand charge that is composed of 3 parts:

• a fee for 0 - 200 kW
• a fee for 200 - 400 kW
• a fee for 400+ kW

This could be addressed by using three different Peak Charge components in Create A Rate to model the overall demand charge. However, if you want to summarize these three components using a single component, you can use the Choice Component as a parent component and add each of the separate demand components as child components, as shown in .

Note: Unlike each of the other generic rate components, you cannot paste a Combination Percentage Fee as a child rate component under a Choice Component. The Combination Percentage Fee is a unique rate component that must look at sibling rate components.
