I'm trying to get a monthly peak demand (KW) for a large project im working from the Utility. They sent me a monthly numbers of the existing facility of monthly peak demand of months ranging from 1.2-1.5, Which is fine. But what is a typical multiplier? This facility has a 2000A 480/277 Service. I'm assuming this is with a multiplier of 1000 maybe?? They are not responsive... the person im speaking to does not seem like they understand. Thank you
General KW peak demand from utility numbers does not make sense.... Is there a typical multiplier?

I think if they gave you numbers without units that is not 'fine', especially if the numbers don't make sense. They need to provide units.
Does 1.2-1.5 MW peak make sense for this facility?
Does 1.2-1.5 MW peak make sense for this facility?
I just called them and spoke to somebody else. The meter has a multiplier of 400. So around 600KW. But there is two transformers with a meter each.... so each is registering around 1.5. So there is a total of 1200KW peak ... which makes sense
