§ 523.21 Energy Adjustment Charge
   (a)   An additional incremental charge for excess fuel and power production and purchase power costs shall be applied to the rates prescribed in Sections 523.02 to 523.065 and any other rate schedule as may be adopted by the City.
   (b)   The incremental charge shall be based on the fuel and purchase power cost per kilowatt hour delivered calculated under divisions (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this section.
   (c)   (1)   The fuel and purchase power cost per kilowatt hour sold to residential ratepayers shall be determined by dividing the sum of the cost of the kilowatt hours purchased from the Power Authority of the State of New York and the average cost of kilowatt hours purchased from other sources needed to supply the residential customers by the total kilowatt hours distributed to residential customers. The incremental charge calculated herein shall be adjusted by subtracting fifteen (15) mils per kilowatt hour for residential customers who provide the Division of Cleveland Public Power with a certificate of reduction of taxes obtained pursuant to the Homestead Exemption provisions of Sections 323.151 through 323.157 of the Revised Code, and nine and three-quarters (9.75) mils per kilowatt hour for all other residential customers.
      (2)   Except as provided in Section 523.048, the fuel and purchase power cost per kilowatt hour sold to all ratepayers, other than residential ratepayers, during the twelve (12) months of the year, shall be determined by dividing the sum of the total cost of coal, oil, gas and purchase power by the total kilowatt hours distributed, except that the computation shall exclude the cost of PASNY power and the amount of PASNY power allocable to kilowatt hours distributed, and shall exclude the costs of all purchase power and kilowatt hours from a specific source or sources purchased by the Division for distribution to ratepayers pursuant to Sections 523.048 and 523.049. The incremental charge calculated herein shall be adjusted by subtracting three (3.0) mils per kilowatt hour.
   (d)   At the end of each month, the Division of Cleveland Public Power shall determine the actual fuel and power costs during such month as herein provided and may adjust the additional incremental charge for future months to defer or over-recover the total cost of power in order to stabilize customer bills.
