(h) POWER COST ADJUSTMENT RIDER “A”
Applicable:
The calculation of monthly bills pursuant to the rates and charges therein shall be subject to adjustment for changes in the cost of fuel and purchased power by applying a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) as a unit charge or credit to the total billed energy kilowatt-hours (kWh) on the bill.
Overview:
This PCA calculation is intended to be based on forward-looking projections of fuel, purchased power and other power supply-related costs, as well as projections of Consumer sales (kWh), for the period. The calculation is further intended to be performed at a minimum six-month interval or more frequently, if required, to accomplish recovery of fuel-related cost in a timely manner. The calculation includes a provision to reconcile over or under-collection of cost from previous periods based on actual cost versus projected cost for the period.
The PCA calculation shall be performed in a manner consistent with this rider and initially set to a rate of zero at the time of implementing the herein base rates. Thereafter, the PCA calculation shall be reviewed at a minimum every six (6) months. The PCA calculation shall be reviewed and new projections shall be made for the subsequent six-month periods (i.e., August and February of each year). Following such PCA review and calculation, the PCA shall be applied, as deemed necessary to accomplish recovery of the fuel, purchased power and other power supply-related costs in a timely manner. The PCA shall be recalculated and applied at intervals more frequent than six (6) months if actual fuel and purchased power costs vary significantly from projections.
Definition of Fuel Cost:
The cost in dollars and cents of all projected fuel used in the production of electric energy during the applicable time period determined from the projected weighted average cost of such fuel applied to the projected quantity used. The projected weighted average cost of fuel as used shall be defined as the cost of fuel consumed in generating facilities priced at cost including freight, demurrage, and taxes, of fuel on hand at the beginning of the applicable time period, plus projected cost of fuel received during the applicable time period, divided by the total quantity of fuel on hand and projected to be received.
Definition of Purchased Power Cost:
The net cost in dollars and cents of all projected purchased power required during the applicable time period. The net cost of purchased power shall be the projected total cost of power and energy received from suppliers and Utility approved Consumer-owned renewable generation, including service and dispatch fees and any power supply-related charges, less the projected amounts received for off-system sales of energy.
Determination of PCA Unit Charge or Credit:
When fuel total cost and purchased power cost increases above or decreases below $0.10006/kWh-sold, the rate for electric service shall be increased or decreased in accordance with the following formula:
Calculation: P +R
PCA = -------------- - B
S
Where:
PCA = Power Charge factor, expressed in dollars per kWh-sold rounded to the nearest five decimal places.
P = Total projected fuel cost and projected purchased power cost during the applicable time period expressed as dollars ($) as defined in this schedule.
S = Projected sales (kWh) excluding wholesale energy sales, for the applicable time period for which the fuel cost and purchased power cost (P) is computed.
R = Reconciliation of the actual cumulative over or under-recovery of fuel cost and purchased power cost from preceding applicable time periods including over or under-recovery of fuel cost and purchased power cost before the effective date of this Rider expressed as dollars ($).
B = Base power supply cost for the schedule of rates and charges provided by this section, B shall be $0.10006/kWh sold.
(i) OHIO EXCISE TAX RIDER “B”
The applicable Excise Tax shall be added to the total amount billed to the Consumer under the applicable electric rate schedule. The Excise Tax rate shall apply to the total energy sales (kWh) billed to the Consumer.
The Excise Tax is imposed on monthly Consumer energy sales (kWh) under Ohio Revised Code
§5727.8 and any adjustments or amendments thereto.
The Excise Tax charge is to be applied to monthly Consumer energy sales (kWh) on monthly electric bills using the following rates:
First 2,000 kWh times $0.00465/kWh
Next 13,000 kWh times $0.00419/kWh
Over 15,000 kWh times $0.00363/kWh
The above rates are based on a 30-day billing cycle. If your billing cycle is thirty (30) days exactly, the above-referenced rates will be used. If the billing cycle is less than or more than thirty (30) days, the daily calculation will be used.
The daily calculation will be determined as follows:
Determine the number of kWh used during the billing cycle; Divide that number by the number of days in the billing cycle (Daily average kWh). Take the daily average kWh and (for each block, round the tax amount to the nearest whole cent (x.xx))
- Multiply $0.00465 for the first 67 kWh distributed;
- Multiply $0.00419 for the next 68 to 400 kWh distributed;
- Multiply $0.00363 for the remaining kWh distributed.
The tax is the sum of the above multiplied by the number of days in the billing cycle
