Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment
Effective January 1, 2003
The monthly Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment ("PGA") factor calculated pursuant to this Rate Schedule No. 8 is applicable to all natural gas purchases from the Sylacauga Utilities Board ("SUB") by Customers receiving natural gas service pursuant to SUB Natural Gas Rate Schedule Nos. 1, 2 and 4. The monthly PGA factors will initially be based on estimated costs and sales and later adjusted for actual costs and sales.
The PGA formula is:
PGA = [(A + T - B) / C - D)] - $7.05
Where:
"A" is the SUB's total monthly costs associated with its natural gas purchases including, but not limited to, transportation charges, storage charges and charges for natural gas purchases;
"T" is the monthly adjustment to true-up projected costs and sales to actual costs and sales;
"B" is the revenues recovered from the commodity rate charges to customers electing the alternative pricing provision of the Natural Gas Rate Schedule No. 3;
"C" is the total SUB Mcf sales; and
"D" is the Mcf sales to customers electing the alternative pricing provision of Natural Gas Rate Schedule No. 3.
The True-Up formula is:
T = R - (E x PGA)
Where:
"R" is the actual R&C revenue requirement; and
"E" is the actual R&C Mcf sales.
The Board retains the right to adjust the current monthly PGA to reflect the under recovery of costs resulting from seasonal changes when there can be significant changes in total gas deliveries from month to month.
