Section 113.1006. Embedded cost allowances.

  The average embedded cost of existing facilities shall be determined annually on a customer classification basis as follows:

(1)   Energy only customers. For customer classifications billed on an energy usage only basis, the embedded cost of the distribution facilities allocated to those classifications shall be divided by the number of customers in the classification to specify an average embedded cost allowance per customer. The utility may create subclassifications of energy-only commercial classification based on customer service entrance capacity or other electrical loan criteria to specify average embedded cost allowances.

(2)   Demand and energy customers. For customer classifications billed on a demand and energy usage basis, the embedded cost for distribution facilities allocated to those classifications shall be divided by the total billed demand of those customers to specify an average embedded cost allowance per kilowatt of demand.

(3)   Street lighting. For street lighting facilities, the embedded cost of distribution facilities allocated to those classifications shall be divided by the number of lighting fixtures to specify an average embedded cost allowance either by type of lighting fixture or by type and size of lighting fixture.

(4)   Seasonal customers. Seasonal customers shall receive one-half the average embedded cost allowance of a year-round customer for the same customer classification.
