Peter,
Right, that is about it. The fee is a monthly fee. It will take a year
of keeping the spike below that before the fee will be dropped from the
bill.
Thanks,

AEP should be able to provide your client ( if they are the one
asking ) with a real time readout showing the "spike / load increase "
and what actual equipment they had to install. Sounds a bit dodgy.
What's next, special fees for homeowners who kick on the well pump
flushing a toilet while using a hairdryer at the same time?

Subject: [RE-wrenches] $300 + transmission fee!
Hello All,
A system we installed several years ago is on an old school building
that has been repurposed to office space and small shops. The loads
are very small. The electric bill, during the short days of the year
with lots of clouds (very little solar), was around $30.
Suddenly the electric bill came with a $300+ fee for transmission. AEP
claimed that the load, at some point, went over a certain amount of
power, so that the company had to charge for equipment that would
handle that load year around. No equipment changes have been made. The
service is 200 A.
Has anyone else encountered this? I wonder if there is any other type
of rate schedule the building could be put on to eliminate this
problem.
AEP is not forthcoming about rate schedules or this issue.
Thanks,
Drake
