Determination of Annual Prepayment: Customer's 12 month billing history will be used to calculate the annual prepayment. Based on the total kWh used during the previous 12 months the Cooperative will the estimated total billing for the following 12 months which will be the Annual Prepayment required.

At the earlier of twelve months or termination seasonal billing, the Cooperative will calculate the seasonal billing amount based on actual usage and the average of the actual monthly PCRF factors for the seasonal billing period. Over or under billing will be billed or refunded to the Consumer, but the Cooperative at its discretion may apply over or under billing to the next seasonal billing computation. If seasonal billing is terminated, over or under billing will be billed or refunded as soon as possible.

Power Cost Adjustment: The power cost adjustment factor for the Annual Prepayment will be based on the average of the past 12 months Power Cost Adjustment factors. If the current Power Cost Adjustment clause or its Base Power Cost per kWh sold has not been in effect for 12 months, monthly Power Cost Adjustment factors using the currently in effect Power Cost Adjustment base cost will be calculated for those months prior to the effective date of the current Power Cost Adjustment clause.

Minimum Monthly Charge: The minimum monthly charge used in the prepayment calculation will be the highest one of the following charges as determined for the customer:

1. The Customer Service Charge.
2. The minimum monthly charge as specified in the agreement for purchase of power.

Power Cost Adjustment charges are not considered in the minimum bill calculation.

Determination of Installed kVA: The installed kVA will be the sum of the nameplate rating on the transformers provided at the customer's point of delivery. Each transformer will be installed according to standard engineering practices sized to the closest standard size installed by the Cooperative which is sufficient to provide the service required. If at the convenience of the cooperative, larger transformers are provided, the required kVA for billing purposes will be the closest standard kVA size which would provide the requested service regardless of the actual size installed.
