Fuel Adjustment Clause Rider No. 1
The commodity portion of the hot water and chilled water rate schedules will be adjusted
c l�s-\��
upwazd or downward each month based on the difference between actual variable costs and base
variable costs. (The base variable costs built into the initial rate schedule aze $3.73/10 Btu for
chilled water and $3.80/10 Btu for hot water.) Actual variable costs will be computed each
month by dividing the cost of fuel (electricity, gas, oil, propane and any other fuel) plus water
treatment expenses to operate the cenual energy plant by sales made during the corresponding
month. The fuel adjustment charge applied to each customer's bill will be the difference between
actual variable costs and base variable costs (ea�pressed dollars per 10 Btu) multiplied by that
customer's heating or cooling energy use during the corresponding month. Actual variable costs
for the current month will not be known at the time of billing; and, therefore, for the purpose of
computing the £uel adjustment charge, actual variable costs shall be deemed to be the average
monthly actual variable costs over the preceding twelve (12) months.
Surcharge Rider
All rates for providing chilled water and hot water services will be subject to the City of
St. Paul franchise fee and other appropriate state and local taxes.
