Utility Bill Changes
Changes to Your Bill:
Your bill for Baldwin City utilities dated August 10, 2010 reflects a few changes that went into effect on July 1 regarding electric utility billing.
First, the monthly customer charge for residential customers has increased from $11.00 per month to $12.00 per month. The monthly charge for most business customers has increased from $20.00 per month to $22.50 per month.
Second, the energy charge has increased from 10.3-cents per kWh to 10.92-cents per kWh. This is a 6% increase.
Third, a line has been added to the postcard bill under the EL-Electric line item with the designation FA. The FA stands for Fuel Adjustment, and this reflects the amount of our Power Cost Adjustment, which will be added monthly and accounts for fluctuations in the cost of wholesale power secured by the City for sale to retail customers. For more explanation on the Power Cost Adjustment, please refer to this document: PCA Explanation
Fourth, some of our heavier commercial accounts have been placed in a demand-energy rate classification effective with usage beginning July 1, 2010. If you are one of these customers, we will be happy to meet with you regarding the calculation of your bill, and help you identify the types of things that can assist you with managing your energy costs.
We will be happy to assist any customer in understanding changes to the rate structure and how it affects them. Please contact City Hall with your questions.
