| This portion of the bill | Is calculated like this | To get this result |
| A. Single or Multi Family rate Consumption Rate | Your kWh x Consumption Rate = | Consumption Charge |
| B. Deferred Energy Accounting Adjustment | Your kwh X -0.0033 = | Deferred Energy Adjustment Charge |
| C. Temporary Green Power Charge | Your kwh X 0.00111 = | Temporary Green Power Charge |
| D. Renewable Energy Program | Your kwh X 0.00085 = | Renewable Energy Program |
| E. Basic Service Charge | Basic Service charge = Basic Service Charge | |
| F. Sub Total | Consumption Charge + Deferred Energy Adjustment Charge + Temporary Green Power Charge + Renewable Energy Program + Basic Service Charge = | Sub Total |
| G. Franchise/Utility Fee (5%). This charge is mandated/set by your municipality. | Sub Total x .05 | Franchise Fee Charge |
| H. Universal Energy Charge Rate | Your kWh x 0.00039 = | Universal Energy Charge |
| I. Washoe County Undergrounding Surcharge | Your kWh x .0006 | = Washoe Country Undergrounding Surcharge |
| Total Bill. Add F + G + H + I (Add I only if you live in Washoe County) | Sub Total + Franchise Fee Charge + Universal Energy Charge + Washoe Country Undergrounding Surcharge = | Your total |
