GAS COST RIDER
Billing Rate Code
Original Page No. 055
Gas bills issued under rate schedules to which this Rider
applies will include adjustments to reflect decreases or increases
in purchased gas costs or taxes from the base level of those
expenses embedded in the rates. Any such adjustments shall be
filed with the appropriate regulatory authority before the
beginning of the month in which the adjustment will be applied to
bills. The amount of each adjustment shall be computed as follows:
Gas Cost Adjustment (GCA)
The GCA to be applied to each Mcf billed shall be computed as
follows and rounded to the nearest $0.0001:
GCA = ( G/S - Base + CF ) x TF
Where:
1. "G" in dollars, is the expected cost of gas for the expected
sales billing units.
2. "S" in MCF at 13.6 psia, is the expected sales billing units
to be billed to the Company's West Texas Service Area.
3. "CF" in $/MCF at 13.6 psia, is a correction factor charge per
MCF to adjust for the cumulative monthly differences between
the cost of gas purchased by the Company and the amount of gas
cost billed the customer.
Once a year, on a 12 months ended September basis, the Company
shall review the percentage of lost and unaccounted for gas
and if this percentage exceeds 5% of the amount metered in,
the correcting account balance will be reduced so that the
customer will effectively be charged a maximum of 5% for lost
and unaccounted for gas while the Company will absorb the
excess.
4. "Base" in $/MCF at 13.6 psia, is the base cost of gas of
$2.6779/MCF that is included in base rate.
5. "TF" is a tax factor of 1.0526.
