There are hereby established rates and charges for the use and service of electric current for light and power based upon electricity consumed as recorded by electric meters based upon the type of premises serviced. The rates shall be on the basis of a single meter for one customer.
(A) Residential service. The rates established are available to single phase electric service for family dwelling units for all domestic uses.
(1) Monthly customer charge: $12.00 per month.
(2) Non-energy charge: All kWh used per month: $0.02746 per kWh
(B) General service. The rates established are available to single phase electric service non-residential customers for lighting and power purposes.
(1) Monthly customer charge: $22.00 per month
(2) Non-energy charge: All kWh used per month: $0.02935 per kWh
(C) Medium general service. The rates established are available to three phase electric service non-residential customers for lighting and power purposes. This service is available for customers not eligible for the large general service customer class.
(1) Monthly customer charge: $54.00 per month
(2) Non-energy charge: All kWh used per month: $0.03252 per kWh
(D) Large general service. The rates established are available to three phase electric service non-residential customers for lighting and power purposes. This service is available to non-residential customers with a minimum monthly peak demand of 275 kW for at least six months in each calendar year, a minimum monthly peak demand of 25 kW for at least six months in each calendar year with a minimum monthly load factor of 50% for at least ten months in each calendar year.
(1) Monthly customer charge: $54.00 per month
(2) Demand charge: $15.00 per kW for all kW of billing demand
(3) Non-energy charge: All kWh used per month: $0.03204 per kWh
(E) Monthly energy charge.
(1) The stated charges shall be supplemented by the actual energy price charged by the supplier of electricity purchased by the city and the actual cost of fuel consumed at the city’s power plant. The collector is hereby empowered and directed to determine the amount of said supplement upon a per-KWH basis and thereafter, effective for the billing period next following the effective date of the invoice of the energy charges, to calculate the energy rate charged all purchasers of electricity from the city.
(2) The calculation for demand rates shall be as follows:
1. Total KWH sold | ______KWH |
2. Purchased KWH cost | $ _______ |
3. Prior month adjustment | $ _______ |
4. Total demand customer energy charge: [(2)+(3)]/(1) | $________ |
(3) The calculation for non-demand rates shall be as follows:
1. Total KWH sold | ______KWH |
2. Purchased KWH cost | $ _______ |
3. Prior month adjustment | $ _______ |
4. Total demand customer energy charge: [(2)+(3)]/(1) | $ _______ |
5. Purchased KW cost | $ _______ |
6. Power plant fuel oil cost | $ _______ |
7. Power plant natural gas cost | $ _______ |
8. IMEA fuel reimbursement | $ _______ |
9. Total KW cost: (5)+(6)+(7)+(8) | $ _______ |
10. Total KW sold | _______KW |
11. Demand revenue: $15*(10) | $ _______ |
12. Unrecovered demand cost/KWH: [(9)-(11)]/(1) | $_____/KW H |
13. Non-demand customer KWH | _______KW H |
14. Total non-demand customer energy charge: (4)+(12)*(13)/(1) | $_____/KW H |
(4) The previous calculation is made on an average of the three most recent month’s charges by the supplier of electricity purchased by the city, the corresponding three months of sales, and the corresponding three months of fuel expense records.
(F) Annual operations expense adjustment. Any positive changes in operating expenses, not including cost of power, shall be passed uniformly and directly to all bills rendered after such determination has been made by the Collector of the city. The determination shall be made by comparing the latest fiscal audit report with the operating expenses recorded for the preceding fiscal year. Each year the Collector will subtract the latest fiscal expenses by the preceding year’s expenses and the results will be divided by the latest energy consumption (kWh). The “non-energy charge” will be adjusted by adding the resulting number to create a new base non-energy charge.
However, the "non-energy charge" shall remain unchanged from the prior year for the 2022-2023 fiscal year.
