The overall Base Power Cost to be used to determine the adjustment applicable to the city’s Electric Rate Schedules shall be that included in the City’s retail rates of $0.09004 per kWh.
Monthly Determination of Power Cost Adjustment:
A. Each month, the City’s running six (6) month average Power Supply Cost per kWh shall be determined by dividing (1) the sum of (i) the previous five (5) and current months’ total power supply costs from all suppliers, plus (ii) the previous five (5) and current months’ net costs associated with ownership and operation of generating facilities owned in whole or in part, by the City, plus (iii) the previous five (5) and current months’ transmission related charges and credits and AMP Service Fees, by (2) the total energy delivered to the City in the previous five (5) months and current month.

C. Any INCREASE or DECREASE per kWh ABOVE or BELOW the Base Power Cost of $0.09004 per kWh shall be determined to five (5) dermal places ($0.00000) and any resultant differential shall be divided by 0.85 to compensate for City’s distribution system energy losses.
D. The rates per kWh set forth in City’s Electrical Service Rates shall be INCREASED or DECREASED accordingly.
