Class allocation

How the increase is split between schedules
As settled

R-1 · 82% of the increase

$398,520

+8.16% on $4,882,828 present revenue

G-1 · 18% of the increase

$87,480

+7.03% on $1,244,235 present revenue

A class cost-of-service study would put residential near 84% of the cost to serve; the settlement moved part of that onto general service to limit the residential increase. Move the split and every target, rate and bill below follows.

The share of base revenue collected through the customer charge. Higher is steadier revenue for the utility and a larger increase for low-use customers — the trade-off a commission asks about first.

Rates print to four decimals, so a solved design lands within a few hundred dollars of target, not on it.
