Based on the example above, the distributor will bill $1.83 as line losses within the delivery portion of the bill and would calculate the commodity charge to be $14.00 ($15.83 - $1.83). The retailer is responsible for calculating the loss amount. As an example, a flat fee contract could be calculated as follows: Loss Factor: 1.0560 Usage: 1000 kWh Rate: $0.08 1000 kWh / 1.0560 = 946.97 kWh x 0.08 = 75.76 1000 kWh 946.97 = 53.03 kWh x 0.08 = 4.24 – TotalCurrent AmountDue: 80.00 ChargeDescription: 4.24|Loss Amount Amount: 80.00 On the would be billed under commodity and $4.24 would be customer’s bill, $75.76 billed under losses. The LDC is responsible for calculating the split. The Amount and the TotalCurrentAmountDue should be the same and settlement would occur on this amount (the full $80.00) The ChargeDescription is to be used to identify line losses, with the amount first followed by a pipe delimiter and a description of the value ‘Loss Amount’ without any dollar signs.
