"Sec. 28.2. ELECTRIC RATES ESTABLISHED
The rates at which charges will be made for electric energy
and service rendered to consumers by the electric utility of the
city are established by sections 28.3 and 28.4 hereof. The net
monthly billing based on said rates will be increased or decreased
by an amount corresponding to the increase or decrease in the
average cost to the city for power plant fuel in the preceding
month. The incremental charge will be computed by multiplying
the number of kilowatt hours used by a customer by .016 times the
difference between the base fuel cost and the average fuel cost of
the preceding month. The base fuel cost is $1.925 per million
Btu. The average fuel cost shall be determined by dividing the
total cost of fuel burned in the city-owned generating facilities in
the preceding month by the total heating value of the fuel burned
in the same period in Btu (British Thermal Units) times one mil-
lion. In the event all or any part of the energy supplied is gene-
rated in facilities not owned by the city and obtained by the city
through power purchases or plant participation agreements, the
fuel price adjustment shall be modified to account for the fuel
price adjustment affecting the generating costs of nonowned gener-
ating facilities.
