z Prices locked in for two years
APRIL 2023 UPDATE
These three items are critical to minimize the impact to our customers in the future:
| Fixed Gas Prices
FPUA’s wholesale provider has secured fixed gas prices for April 2023 through March 2024 at 75% of generation fuel needs. And April 2024 through March 205 at 50% of generation fuel needs.
| Rate Stabilization Fund
FPUA Board approved a new upper limit for the rate stabilization fund to help minimize the impact of future gas market spikes. This will help minimize the large increase of a PCA adjustment in a single month. |
PCA Adjustment Schedule
With the two items now in full implementation, the FPUA board has approved a multi-month power cost adjustment. This will allow decreasing or increasing the PCA over a period of three months.
