Baseline Calculations and Utility Rates Sample Clauses
The 'Baseline Calculations and Utility Rates' clause defines how baseline energy or utility consumption levels are established and how applicable utility rates are determined for a project or agreement. Typically, this involves specifying the historical period used to calculate average consumption and identifying the sources or methods for determining current and future utility rates, such as referencing local utility tariffs or published rate schedules. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear and agreed-upon reference point for measuring energy savings, cost adjustments, or performance guarantees, thereby reducing disputes and providing a transparent framework for ongoing calculations.
Baseline Calculations and Utility Rates. The unit utility costs for the Baseline period are set forth below as “Base Utility Cost” and shall be used for all calculations made under this Appendix. The Base Utility Cost shall be escalated annually by the actual utility cost escalation but such escalation shall be no less than the mutually agreed “floor” escalation rate of Three Percent (3%). Contractor was furnished with documentation prepared by MPS that provided electricity costs for the Baseline utilizing a blended rate (demand and energy cost integrated into one value). MPS acknowledges that the use of a blended $/kWh electricity charge may not represent the actual savings achieved as compared to utilizing separate demand ($/kW) and energy ($/kWh) charges for a given improvement measure.

Baseline Calculations and Utility Rates. The unit utility costs for the baseline period are set forth below as “baseline” rate for each type of utility and shall be used for all calculations made under this Schedule. The Base Utility Cost for each type of utility represents the 16 month average utility costs from February 2019 through July 2020. Fort Bend County has a fixed electrical consumption rate ($/ kWh) rate through Performance Year 11 of this Contract. During this period, the cost per kWh will remain constant every year. Starting in Performance Year 12, when the current kWh rate contract expires, the kWh rate is expected to increase to the “market rate”, which is the current rate following the historical 3.0% annual escalation each year. The Year 12 kWh rate represents what the current rate would be in Year 12 if it were escalated 3% each Performance Year. The demand rates ($/ kW) and natural gas rates ($/ therm) will escalate annually by 3.0%, based on historical escalations. The tables below lay out the annual rates for each utility type by facility that will be used for each year’s annual savings calculations. Given that the kWh rate is not linear, it is easier to show each year’s rates to ensure that the proper rates are being applied each Performance Year. The kWh rate shown below applies to each facility included in this project. Additionally, natural gas rates are only depicted for facilities with gas heating.

Baseline Calculations and Utility Rates. The unit utility costs for the Baseline period are set forth below as “Base Utility Cost” and shall be used for all calculations made under this Schedule. The Base Utility Cost shall be escalated annually by the actual utility cost escalation, but such escalation shall be no more than the mutually agreed maximum escalation rate of two percent (2%). The Base Utility Cost for each type of utility represents the 12-month average utility costs from July 2018 through June 2019. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ High School 399 $9.50 1,802,145 $134,378 $0.075 $179,916 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Middle School 258 $9.57 994,911 $74,191 $0.075 $103,857 Primrose Elementary School 127 $9.54 447,000 $33,460 $0.075 $47,992 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Intermediate School 576 $8.76 2,272,395 $169,893 $0.075 $230,463 1,361 $9.34 5,516,451 $411,922 $0.07 $562,228 The above rates shown in Table 2.6.1 will be known as Floor Electrical Rates, for the purpose of the Assured Performance Guarantee. Beginning in year 1, the annual calculated electric rates are expected to increase every year. In the event that the annual rates are lower than the above baseline rates, the 2% escalated floor rates will be substituted for the annual calculated rate. The Electric Rates will be averaged over the course of the one-year baseline period, as provided by customer. In turn, the Incremental Electric Rate (IER), and the Demand Rate (DR) will be averaged annually over the course of the reporting periods, as reflected on utility invoices, for equitable cost avoidance savings reporting. The following formula will be used to calculate the current reporting period Incremental Energy Rate (IER): IER= □TKC1-12÷ □TKWH1-12 Where: IER: Incremental Electrical Rate (Dollars per kWh) □TKC1-12: Sum Total of Monthly Electrical Utility Costs (Dollars) for kWh included Fuel Adjustment Cost and other related Energy Charges for Months 1 Through 12 of the current reporting period. □TKWH1-12: Sum Total of Monthly Electrical Incremental Use (kWh) for Months 1 Through 12 of the current reporting period.
