Facility Charge – fixed monthly rate that recovers costs associated with customer service, metering, meter reading, billing, and accounting.
Usage Charge – fixed rate based on kWh that recovers costs associated with poles, substations, lines, and equipment needed for delivery.
The Energy Cost Adjustment or Energy Rate is a variable rate charged per kWh to recover costs associated with generation and fuel.
