Charge Definitions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than owning power plants, NBU buys power from the ERCOT market through a hedging program, which is designed to reduce volatility and deliver a competitive price. This charge reflects the pass-through amount of the cost of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transmission<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This charge reflects the costs of transporting energy to the NBU service territory. Transmission costs are set by the state each year and are based on a community\u2019s peak electricity demand from the prior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivery Charge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the cost of power distribution, and it is charged on a per kilowatt-hour rate. This covers the operation and maintenance of NBU\u2019s local distribution infrastructure including poles, wires, and transformers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replenish Reserves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This charge is designed to replenish NBU\u2019s reserves to ensure we are prepared in case of emergency events \u2013 like Winter Storm Uri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electric Service Availability Charge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base costs incurred in making service available for customers, including meter reading, billing, and record keeping. The charge is fixed and independent of the amount of electricity used in a particular month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
