Verifying Billing Accuracy
Residential customers can verify the calculations on the bill with the following steps: a) find the applicable rate schedule, b) multiply the kWh rate times the kWh used during the month, c) divide the cost of energy and cost of debt adjustments by the kWh used during the month (this will give the adjustment rates), d) add the customer charge, energy charge (kWh usage), fuel & debt adjustment, any applicable taxes, and security lighting to equal the total bill.
Automatic Adjustment Clauses
In addition to the energy charge in the applicable rate schedule, the cost per kWh will be adjusted by the following:
Cost of Power Adjustment
The Cooperative shall increase or decrease its retail rates by an amount sufficient to compensate for the difference between the actual cost per kWh of energy and the base cost per kWh sold embedded in the rate schedules.
Cost of Debt Adjustment
The Cooperative shall increase or decrease its retail rates by an amount sufficient to compensate for the difference between the actual cost of debt and the base debt cost per kWh embedded in the rate schedules.
Cost of Tax Adjustment
The Cooperative shall bill customers for any excise, license, privilege, or franchise taxes which are levied by laws or ordinances. Such adjustments shall be recovered only from those customers within the jurisdictional boundaries of the taxing bodies and shall be referenced on the bill.
