Power Factor Adjustment:
Power Factors less than 90% lagging the monthly measured demand will be adjusted for the difference below 90%: Adjusted Demand = {1+(.90 – PF) x measured demand}.
Load Factor Adjustment (Credit):
The load factor is a credit for high efficiency demand customers. The demand reading is multiplied by the meter multiplier and multiplied by 450 (the load factor). The total kwh’s consumed in the period are then subtracted from this number. The result is then multiplied by a factor of .0105. If this results in a negative number the customer receives a credit.

Rev. January 2012
Purchased Power Adjustment Factor (PPAF)
Effective for all bills issued on and after August 1, 2007, the charges to all customers for each kilowatt hour (kwh) supplied under all rates shall be adjusted by a Purchased Power Adjustment Factor (PPAF) to reflect the actual changes in the cost of purchased power. The PPAF will be determined to the nearest $0.0001 in accordance with the following formula:
((PP + T – WR) / K)x (TKP / TKS) - BC
Where:
PPAF = Purchased Power Adjustment Factor
PP = Cost of purchased power form all suppliers and from the PJM market in the month two months prior to the billing month, including any ancillary costs directly related to the cost of purchased power.
T = Cost of transmission in the month two months prior to the billing month, for all power purchased or sold, including any ancillary costs directly related to the cost of transmission, less transmission revenue.
WR = Revenue from wholesale sales in the month two months prior, including sales of excess power into the PJM market.
K = Number of kilowatt hours purchased in the month two months prior to the billing month.
TKP = Total kilowatt hours purchased in the 12 preceding calendar months.
TKS = Total kilowatt hours sold at retail and wholesale in the 12 preceding calendar months
BC = Base Cost of power purchased including cost of delivery ($0.05900 per kwh)
The PPAF shall be calculated and applied to customer bills on a monthly basis consistent with the above calculation except for those customers that use budget billing. Budget billing customers will have the PPAF applied on a monthly basis but will accumulate the adjustment and such adjustment will be incorporated when the budget billing amount is adjusted as required.
In the event that the information necessary to calculate the PPAF is delayed or unavailable, the PPAF may be calculated and applied in a following month in order to avoid a delay in the issuance of billings.
Electric Tax and Franchise Fee
The State of Illinois requires the City of Batavia to collect an Electric Excise Tax. The tax is the lower of 5% of total electric charges (before taxes or franchise fees) or .0032 cents per kWh. The City of Batavia collects the tax and remits it to the State of Illinois Department of Revenue each month.
The City of Batavia charges a 4% Franchise Fee on the total electric charges. This franchise fee is collected and paid to the City of Batavia's general operations fund. This franchise fee supports general operations of the City of Batavia and allows the City of Batavia to levy lower property taxes. The franchise fee is a local tax and would be charged to electric customers if the utility were an investor owned utility or public utility.
