Fuel Surcharge 

 

A fuel oil surcharge per unit of electricity (KWh) consumed will be added or deducted.  The unit rate of surcharge will be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

  • The cost per gallon of fuel oil supplied to the Corporation in the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month during which meters are read.

  • The cost per gallon of fuel oil supplied to the Corporation in the month of April 1980; 81.5cent multiplied by:

  • The quantity of fuel oil in U.S. Gallons required to generate, transmit and distribute one unit of electricity (KWh).

The total surcharge applicable to a particular electricity bill will be unit rate of surcharge multiplied by the total number of electrical units (KWh) recorded on that bill as having been consumed.

The surcharge shall be effective in respect of any meter reading made on or after the 1st day of July 1980.
