(d) 
The formula for calculation of the power cost adjustment is as follows:
PCA
=
(1) Net Power Supply Cost
(2) Net kWh Sold
Definitions:
PCA = Power cost adjustment ($ per kWh) rounded to the nearest 0.0001 cent.
Net power supply cost = The total amount charged to the city for energy supplied by the city’s wholesale provider(s).
Net kWh sold = The total kWh sold to all electricity customers of the city.
(e) 
On a periodic basis the city will compare the total amount of power cost dollars which should be recovered to the actual power cost adjustment revenues received in the previous city billing period(s). Any difference realized will be added or subtracted from the power cost adjustment formula calculation to be recovered in the next city billing period(s).
(Ordinance 1104 adopted 10/1/12; 2004 Code, sec. 13.1002; Ordinance 1253, sec. 2, adopted 7/17/18)
