Below are some of charges you will find on your monthly statement.
Availability Charge:
This fixed charge is used to pay for the cost of providing electrical service. This cost includes the material and labor needed to maintain lines and clear rights-of-way, as well as other fixed costs such as taxes, insurance, debt, and interest. We incur these costs whether or not any kilowatt hours are used.
Power Cost Adjustment (PCA):
The Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) is designed to recoup/return power supply costs that are caused by the fluctuations in the price of fuel or purchased energy. Energy is a commodity, and like every other commodity is subject to the laws of supply and demand. When demand is high or supply is short, costs go up. The PCA gives utilities the ability to deal with ongoing energy cost changes without having to make frequent changes to the base rate structure.
