How to Figure the Small Power Rate

Base Rate

Customer Charge:                                                            $25.00
Maximum Load Charge:                                                  $6.00 per KW
Energy Charge:            
  The First 200 Hours use of Billing Maximum Load      $0.03358
  All over 200 Hours use of Billing Maximum Load        $0.02592
  Minimum bill is 20 KW

Example

Suppose you used 50,000 KWH and had a maximum load of 80 KW.

1. Your bill would start with the $25.00 customer charge.
2. Your maximum load charge would be 80 KW multiplied by $6.00, which is $480.00.
3. Your first 200 hours use of billing maximum load would be 200 multiplied by 80 KW which is 16,000 multiplied by $0.03358 which is $537.28.
4. All above 200 hours use of billing maximum load would be 50,000 KWH minus 16,000 KWH = 34,000 KWH multiplied by $0.02592 = $915.28.
5. Your total base cost with tax is $2,055.44.

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
