C. Effective November 1, 2008, all customers billed on the rates described in subsections A and B, above, shall, in addition to the rates therein described, be subject to a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) charge. The amount charged for each kilowatt hour of energy sold by the Town may be increased according to the following formula:

PCA = C-(BxP)

C = The estimated cost of power in dollars to be purchased by the Town for the twelve-month period.

P = The estimated total kilowatt hours to be purchased by the Town for the twelve-month period.

S = The estimated total kilowatt hours to be sold by the Town for the twelve-month period.

B = The average cost of wholesale power per kilowatt hour purchased by the Town which is recovered in the Town's retail rate schedules, currently $0.06651.

The Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) will be computed according to the above formula for a twelve-month period beginning July 1st of each year. Should it appear at any time during the twelve-month period that continued use of the PCA then in effect for the remainder of the twelve-month period will result in a substantial under recovery of the cost of power purchased by the Town at wholesale, then the town may modify the PCA, especially factor B, above, to recover the applicable power cost more accurately. The PCA will not be less than zero.
