G.S.
62-133.4. The intent of these rules is to
permit LDCs to recover 100% of their prudently incurred gas costs applicable to
North Carolina operations.
(2)
Definitions. As used in this Section (k) of Rule R1-17, the following
definitions shall apply:
(a) "LDC" shall mean
local distribution company.
(b)
"Gas Costs" shall mean the total delivered cost of gas paid or to be paid to
Suppliers, including, but not limited to, all commodity/gas charges, all
direct, transaction-related costs arising from an LDC's prudent efforts to

Storage Charges" shall mean all Gas Costs which are not based on the volume of
gas actually purchased or transported by an LDC and any other gas costs
determined by the Commission to be properly recoverable from
customers.
(3) Rate
Adjustments Under these Procedures.
(a) Sales
Rates. In the event an LDC anticipates a change in its City Gate Delivered Gas
Costs, the LDC may apply and file revised tariffs in order to increase or
decrease its rates to its customers as hereinafter provided. The Commission may
issue an order allowing the rate change to become effective simultaneously with
the effective date of the change or at any other time ordered by the
Commission. If the Commission has not issued an order within 120 days after the
application, the LDC may place the requested rate adjustment into effect. Any
rate adjustment under this Section (k)(3)(a) is subject to review under Section
(k)(6).
(i) Demand Charges and Storage
Charges. Whenever an LDC anticipates a change in the Demand Charges and Storage
Charges, the LDC may (as hereinabove provided) change its rates to customers
under all rate schedules by an amount computed as follows:
[(Total Anticipated Demand Charges and Storage Charges -
Prior Demand Charges and Storage Charges) X NC Portion*]/ Sales &
Transportation Volumes* = Increase (Decrease) Per Unit
*Established by the Commission in the last general rate
case.
(ii) Commodity and
Other Charges. Whenever the LDC's estimate of its Benchmark Commodity Gas Costs
changes, an LDC may (as hereinabove provided) change the rates to its customers
purchasing gas under all of its sales rate schedules by an amount computed as
follows:
{[Volumes of gas purchased* (excluding Company Use and
Unaccounted For) X (New Benchmark Commodity Gas Costs - Old Benchmark Commodity
Gas Costs)] X NC Portion*}/ {Volumes of gas purchased for System Supply*
(excluding Company Use and Unaccounted For)* X NC Portion*}= Increase
(Decrease) Per Unit
*Established by the Commission in the last general rate
case
(b)
Transportation Rate. Firm and/or interruptible transportation rates shall be
computed on a per unit basis by subtracting the per unit Commodity and Other
Charges included in the applicable firm or interruptible sales rate schedule
from the applicable firm or interruptible rate schedule exclusive of any
decrements or increments. Commodity deferred account increments or decrements
shall not apply to transportation rates unless the Commission specifically
directs otherwise. Demand and storage increments or decrements shall apply to
transportation rates.
(c) Other
Changes in Purchased Gas Costs. The intent of these procedures is to permit an
LDC to recover its actual prudently incurred Gas Costs. If any other Gas Costs
are incurred, they will be handled as in Section (3)(a)(i) if they are similar
to Demand Charges and Storage Charges, or as in Section (3)(a)(ii) if they are
similar to Commodity and Other Charges.
(4) True-up of Gas Costs.
(a) Demand Charges and Storage Charges. On a
monthly basis, each LDC shall determine the difference between (a) Demand
Charges and Storage Charges billed to its customers in accordance with the
Commission-approved allocation of such costs to the LDC's various rate
schedules and (b) the LDC's actual Demand Charges and Storage Charges. This
difference shall be recorded in the LDC's deferred account for demand and
storage charges. Increments and decrements for this deferred account, including
the portion of the Commodity and Other Charges true-up calculated under Section
(4)(b) and apportioned to this deferred account, flow to all sales and
transportation rate schedules. Where applicable, the percentage allocation to
North Carolina shall be the percentage established in the last general rate
case.
(b) Commodity and Other
Charges. On a monthly basis, each LDC shall determine with respect to gas sold
(including company use and unaccounted for) during the month the difference
between (a) the actual Commodity and Other Charges incurred and (b) the actual
Commodity and Other Charges billed to customers. This difference shall be
apportioned each month to the LDC's deferred account for commodity and other
charges based on the ratio of volumes sold to the volumes purchased for that
month. The residual portion of the difference not apportioned to the LDC's
deferred account for commodity and other charges shall be apportioned each
month to the LDC's deferred account for Demand Charges and Storage Charges.
Increments and decrements for Commodity and Other Charges flow to all sales
rate schedules.
(c)
Repealed.
(d) Supplier Refunds and
Direct Bills. In the event an LDC receives supplier refunds or direct bills
with respect to gas previously purchased, the amount of such supplier refunds
or direct bills will be recorded in the appropriate deferred account, unless
directed otherwise by the Commission.
(5) Other.
(a) Gas Costs changes not tracked
concurrently shall be recorded in each LDC's appropriate deferred
account.
(b) The Commodity and
Other Charges portion of gas inventories shall be recorded at actual cost and
the difference in that cost and the cost last approved under Section
(k)(3)(a)(ii) shall be recorded in the deferred account when the gas is
withdrawn from inventory.
(c) Each
LDC shall file with the Commission (with a copy to the Public Staff) a complete
monthly accounting of the computations under these procedures, including all
supporting workpapers, journal entries, etc., within 45 days after the end of
each monthly reporting period. All such computations shall be deemed to be in
compliance with these procedures unless within 60 days of such filing the
Commission or the Public Staff notifies the LDC that the computations may not
be in compliance; provided, however, that if the Commission or the Public Staff
requests additional information reasonably required to evaluate such filing,
the running of the 60 day period will be suspended for the number of days taken
by the LDC to provide the additional information.
(d) Periodically, an LDC may file to adjust
its rates to refund or collect balances in these deferred accounts through
decrements or increments to current rates. In filing for an increment or
decrement, the LDC shall state the amount in the deferred account, the time
period during which the increment or decrement is expected to be in effect, the
rate classes to which the increment or decrement is to apply, and the level of
volumes estimated to be delivered to those classes. Any such increments or
decrements shall be made on a flat per dekatherm basis for all affected rate
classes, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Rule, an LDC may offset negotiated losses in any manner authorized by the
Commission.
