(g) Power Supply Cost and Excise (Kilowatt-hour) Tax Adjustment.
(1) Power supply cost adjustment. The Village's electric rates and charges are based upon the Village's average cost of power supply. In the event that said average power supply costs per kWh is increased or decreased, the electric rates, excluding the private outdoor lighting rate, will be adjusted as specified below.
(2) Base power supply cost. The overall base power supply cost (BPSC) to be used to determine the power supply cost adjustment applicable to the Village's rate schedules shall be $0.0683 per kWh. (Effective April 1, 2023), $0.0646 per kWh (Effective January 1, 2024), $0.0609 per kWh (Effective January 1, 2025), $0.0572 per kWh (Effective January 1, 2026) and $0.0535 per kWh (Effective January 1, 2027).
(3) Monthly determination of power supply cost adjustment. Each month, the Village's running three-month average power supply cost per kWh shall be determined by dividing (i) the sum of the previous two and current month's total power supply costs from all suppliers, plus the sum of the previous two and current month's costs associated with ownership and operation of generating facilities owned in whole, or in part, by the Village, plus the sum of the previous two and current month's transmission related charges and service fees, by (ii) the total energy delivered to the Village in the previous two months and current month. If said power supply cost per kWh is above or below the applicable BPSC set forth above (determination to four decimal places or $0.0000), the resultant differential shall be multiplied by 1.10 to compensate for system energy losses, and shall be applied to each customer's billable kWh.
(4) Excise (kilowatt-hour) tax adjustment. The electric rates and charges, including the private outdoor lighting rate, shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the excise (kilowatt-hour) tax imposed on the Village's electric distribution system under Ohio R.C. 5727.81. Said adjustment shall become effective with the bills that include May 1, 2001, as part of the usage period and shall thereafter be automatically adjusted to reflect any change in the kilowatt-hour tax imposed by Ohio R.C. 5727.81.

All other electric service which the customer may require from Village shall be furnished under Village's other applicable electric rate schedules or by special agreement.
(2) Rate. The purchase price for energy supplied to Village by customer's on-site generating facility shall be the Village's average power supply cost per kWh purchased during the immediately prior calendar year. The monthly payment/credit to the customer operating the on-site generating facility shall be equal to the Village's average power supply cost per kWh purchased during the immediately prior calendar year multiplied by the kilowatt-hours supplied to the Village by customer's on-site generating facility during the monthly billing period.
(3) Supplied energy: Energy supplied by the on-site generating facility shall be determined by means of bi-directional metering installed at the point of interconnection with the Village and customer and shall reflect only the amount of energy supplied to Village. All energy supplied to customer by Village shall be billed in accordance with Village's applicable rate schedule.
