PURCHASED POWER COST ADJUSTMENT (PPCA)

 

 


DESIGNATION: Purchased Power Cost Adjustment Clause

APPLICABLE: To rate schedules as identified as M.D.P.U. Numbers: 103, 104, 105, 106, 107

CALCULATION OF PURCHASED POWER COST ADJUSTMENT
There shall be added or credited to each monthly bill an amount equal to the total kWh billed during the month multiplied by the Purchased Power Cost Adjustment factor as determined each month as follows:

(A) Total Purchased Power Cost including NEPOOL Interchange estimated to be be charged to Account 555 for the month of usage divided by:  

(B) Estimated kWh to be sold during the month will be compared to:

(C) Base period cost of purchased power per kWh sold.

The difference between the base cost and the monthly cost per kWh estimated to be sold will be applied in the monthly billing period. The Purchased Power Cost Adjustment (PPCA) will be calculated as follows:

PPCA= A/B minus (C)


NOTE: An adjustment to Account 555 charges shall be made each month to reflect differences between estimated and actual kWh sold each month as well as to reflect differences between estimated and actual purchased power costs. This adjustment will be utilized in the following month PPCA calculation to recover/credit any undercollection/overcollection of purchased power charges resulting from the previous month's billing.

 

 

SMALL USER DISCOUNT ADJUSTMENT

 


The State of Massachusetts has arranged for the purchase of discounted electrical power through the Power Authority, State of New York (PASNY). These savings are passed on to residential customers only. If you have used 300 or more kilowatt-hours, your SMALL USER DISCOUNT credit is currently $7.62. If you have used less than 300 kilowatt-hours, your SMALL USER DISCOUNT credit is calculated by taken your kilowatt-hours and multiplying them by .0254. This amount may change based upon the actual saving derived from the purchase of power from New York on a month to month basis.
