How to Figure the General Service Single Phase Rate

Base Rate

Customer Charge:                 $7.10
Energy Charge:            
  The First 1000 KWH        $0.05983
  The Next 2500 KWH        $0.05260
  All Above 3500 KWH       $0.04867

Example

Suppose you used 8000 KWH.

1. Your bill would start with the $7.10 customer charge.
2. Your first 1000 KWH would be multiplied by $0.05983, which would be $59.83.
3. Your next 2500 KWH would be multiplied by $0.05260, which would be $131.50.
4. All above 3500 KWH would be multiplied by $0.04867, which would be $219.02.
5. You base cost would be the total of these charges plus sales tax, which is $438.32.

Tracker

In addition to the base rate charge there is arate adjustment based upon the cost of purchased power. This can be a positive or negative figure. Because this changes every three months, it is not used in the example. We call this the tracker
