10. Heat Factor Adjustment
Amount of heat in each CCF
can vary, so the Heat Factor
Adjustment compensates for any
differences and converts units to
therms. Billing in therms assures
you receive an equal amount of
heat from each unit billed.

Electric energy charges
1. Energy Cost
Energy Cost is billed per kWh used and
adjusts monthly according to changes
in fuel prices. It helps cover the cost of
producing and purchasing power.
Energy charges and
calculations explained
What is a “Winter Step”? During
certain months of the year, the price
per kWh decreases as you use more
energy. If you use enough energy
to qualify, you’ll see the lower rate
reflected as a “Step.” You can qualify
for up to three steps.
