MINIMUM BILL. The monthly minimum bill shall be the Fixed Delivery Service Charge and applicable charge under Rider CEP and Rider GTCJA shown above, plus the percentage specified in Rider ETR, Sheet No. 64, Ohio Excise Tax Liability Rider.
MINIMUM BILL. (a) Subject to paragraph (c), if the Details specifies a Minimum Bill for a Service, the minimum amount payable by Shipper to APA each Month for the Service is the applicable Minimum Bill.
(b) Subject to clause 7.12, Xxxxxxx must pay the Minimum Bill to APA even if no Gas is received, transported or delivered in the relevant Pipeline for or on behalf of Shipper under this Agreement.
(c) The Minimum Bill is the minimum amount payable for the throughput of Gas (other than Overrun Quantities) under the Service to which it relates. Payment of the Minimum Bill does not discharge Shipper’s liability under this Agreement for other charges not directly payable for that throughput, such as (for example) charges for other Services, Imbalances, Daily Variance, Odorisation, taxes and Carbon Costs. Further, the amount of the Minimum Bill does not limit the amount that APA is entitled to charge Shipper under this Agreement for the throughput of Gas under the relevant Service.
MINIMUM BILL. For services rendered under the WACOG rate, the minimum monthly bill shall be equal to the monthly meter charge for WACOG customers as listed in Sec. 13-316 (2).
MINIMUM BILL. The Settlement Agreement provides for the addition of a minimum base bill of $25.00 for all residential and general service non-demand customers. The minimum bill will better ensure that all customers with little or no usage contribute towards their fair share of fixed system costs. The minimum bill provision is just one element of the Settlement Agreement, but it is reflective of the overall compromise reached through extensive negotiations. It also represents an alternative to increasing the base charge, which would impact all customers, including low-income customers, and not only those customers with low or zero usage. Tr. 2798-99 (Xxxxx). The claim by witness Xxxxxx that the minimum xxxx proposal violates the principle of cost causation (Tr. 2701 (Xxxxxx)) improperly ignores the fact that FPL incurs fixed system costs to connect and serve a customer even if that customer’s usage is low or zero. Without an appropriate adjustment such as a higher customer charge or a minimum bill, other customers are subsidizing the customer with low or zero usage. Tr. 2798 (Xxxxx). A good example is a seasonal, second homeowner that only occupies the premises four to six months out of the year. During the six to eight months of no usage, the owner of the second home would only pay the customer charge in absence of the minimum bill. However, the customer charge covers only the billing, metering, and customer service costs. It does not cover any portion of wires and poles that are still required for FPL to connect the customer to the system and to be ready and available to serve the seasonal second homeowner when they return. In the absence of a minimum bill, other customers are subsidizing the fixed costs incurred for such customers with low or no usage. Tr. 2812-13 (Xxxxx). The minimum bill better ensures that all residential and general service non-demand customers contribute towards their fair share of fixed system costs FPL must incur to be ready, willing, and able to serve a customer’s load at any time even if the customer has low or zero usage at any point. Tr. 2812 (Xxxxx). Witness Xxxxxx also incorrectly claims that the minimum bill proposal under the Settlement Agreement discourages customer investment in energy efficiency and distributed generation. Tr. 2701-02 (Xxxxxx). This argument is factually incorrect because unless a customer goes “off the grid” and completely disconnects from FPL’s system, FPL must still incur fixed costs in order to be ready and able ...
