FUEL COST ADJUSTMENT
Electric Service billed under all applicable rate schedules shall be subject to a Fuel Cost
Adjustment for changes in fuel cost. Monthly billing shall be adjusted upward or downward
by an amount per kwh to be calculated according to the following formula:
l(F l-F-) ~-~ I t r°unded t° nearest )
Fuel Adjustment Factor (FAF) = ~ C .738___6~__ × LF ~, .0001¢ .
DEFINITIONS
F
Fuel Costs estimated to be incurred by the Company for the current month
and shall be composed of those costs as recorded in F.P.C. Accounts 501,
547 and 555 less the cost of fossil fuel recovered through intersystem sales,
S = All kilowatthours estimated to be sold and recorded in the current month
by the Company, excluding intersystem sales.
T - Estimated composite tax rate for gross receipts and other revenue related
taxes and gross receipts payments for the Company expressed as decimal.
CF
A Correction Factor adjustment to be applied in the current month to
provide for an allowance due to variance between actual and estimated
fuel adjustment revenues derived from the Fuel Adjustment Factor for
the third preceding month prior to the current month. The calculation of
the Correction Factor is as follows--CF -- [(A) -- (B)] × (1 -- T) where
(A) is the actual fuel adjustment revenues received from the Fuel Adjust-
ment Factor applied in the third preceding month and (B) is the fuel ad-
justment revenues which would have been received from application of
the Fuel Adjustment Factor in the third preceding month if actual rather
than estimated fuel cost and kilowatthour sales (described above) had
been available to calculate the Fuel Adjustment Factor for that month.
LF
Loss factors to recognize differences in losses due to voltage levels of
service. Such loss factors are as follows:
Secondary Voltage Rate Schedules 1.03
Transmission Voltage Rate Schedules 0.96
Penalty Clause
If at the end of December 31, 1976, and on an annual basis thereafter, the net sum of the
Correction Factors for the previous 12 months exceeds 5% of the sum of "(B)' above for the
same period, then a penalty equal in amount to 10% of such excess will be computed and this
amount will be used to reduce the Fuel Adjustment Factor in the next succeeding March. This
reduction will not otherwise affect such computation of the Fuel Adjustment Factor for sub-
sequent periods.
