Energy Acquisition Adjustment connected with all above electric rates
The applicable electric rate shall be adjusted monthly by the amount the Net Electric Costs per Unit exceeds the base energy cost per unit of $.04267. Net Electric Costs per Unit shall be the total energy costs for the previous month divided by the number of kWh sold (determined as kWh purchased less line loss of 2.50%).
×Purchased Natural Gas Adjustment
The gas rate shall be adjusted monthly by $1.08 per 100 cf. for each $1.00 per 100 cf. difference, or portion thereof, between the base rate of $0.580 per 100 cf. and the actual average cost of gas purchased during the previous month. The average cost of purchased gas shall be equal to the total cost of gas supply and transportation cost, including capacity, demand, and reservation charges, divided by the volume of gas purchased. The cost of gas used in this calculation shall not include gas purchased for the generation of steam heat or electricity.
×Steam Heat Cost Adjustment
The steam heat rate shall be adjusted monthly by the amount the steam costs per unit sold for the previous month exceeds the base steam cost per unit of $0.55.
