Gave the following to local utility company, want to be sure it is correct.

Multi dwelling 10 units 100 amp meters, 1 common area 200 amp

A/C 4.08kw/unit 40.8KW 40.8
Cooking 12Kw/unit 120.0KW 90.0
Dryer 5kw/unit 50.0KW 25.0
Space Heater 30.6kw 30.6
Water Heater 4kw/unit 40.0KW 40.0
Lighting 2.7kw/unit 27.0KW 27.0
Dishwasher/Garbage disposal 2.4kw/unit 24.0kw 24.kw

Total 331.86KW 277.40KW
70% Total Connected Load 232.30Kw 194.18KW

1st Time not sure about my calculations, I sent the first column but I thought I should sent the second where I reduced each one based on quanitity, than took a further reduction at the end.

What method are you using to perform your calculation? It does not appear to be the standard or optional calculation as permitted in Article 220 of the NEC.

This is what I came up with:
4500w - Small App. + Laundry
12000w - Cooktop
5000w - dryer
4000w - Water Heater
2400w - GD
4080w - A/C
2700w - Lighting (900 sf) - See 220.84(C)(1) as this may not be right.
OMIT - Heat - Smaller than A/C. (30.6 / 10 = 3.06 kW/unit)

One Unit = 34680w / 1000 = 34.68 kW per Unit.
34.68 kW x 10 = 346.8 kW
346.8 kW x 43% = 149.124 kW (Table 220.84)

See 220.84(B) for your house load as this needs to be added.
