Designation: MDPU 194
In the Towns of Littleton and Boxborough, all Residential Rate Schedules.
The Town of Littleton through the Littleton Electric Light Department has been allocated a portion of the output of certain renewable energy sources, including federally licensed hydroelectric power projects in the state of New York, and various hydroelectric, solar, and wind power projects located in New England.
The savings each month in power costs from these renewable power projects will be credited on a per kWh basis to each residential customer, by dividing the Department’s total monthly calculated dollar savings by the total estimated kWh to be billed to all residential customers in the current month. The amount per kWh to be credited will be multiplied by the kWh consumed and will appear as a line item on all residential bills. For Community Solar Projects, as defined by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, residential customers must elect to receive these credits.
No bill shall be reduced below the minimum charge in the applicable residential rate schedule as a result of the Renewable Energy Credit (REC).

Designation: MDPU 190
All filed retail rate schedules referencing this clause.
The object of the PPC clause is to recover the total cost of power supply including losses.
The “total cost of power supply” is defined as the sum of the fixed and variable costs of power (including fuel and pool interchange net costs), and the cost of transmission of electricity by others, recorded in the FERC Uniform System of Accounts under account numbers;
555 Purchased Power;
557 Other Purchased Power; and
565 Transmission of Electricity by Others.
There shall be added to each monthly bill, for each schedule, an amount equal to the total kWh billed
during the month multiplied by the Purchased Power Charge determined as follows:
PPC = A + C
where
PPC = Purchased Power Charge
A = Estimated average cost of purchased power for the calendar year per kilowatt-hour sold as forecast by the Department, net of charges or credits for NEPOOL interchange, plus the total savings credited to Residential customers under the PASNY Power Credit Clause.
C = Adjustment for past differentials between purchased power cost incurred and Power Cost Adjustment revenues collected.

All filed retail rate schedules referencing this clause.
The object of this DAF clause is to adjust the revenues recovered through the Department’s Distribution Energy Charge in order to ensure that the Department maintains an appropriate level of Net Income consistent with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 164.
At or before the beginning of each fiscal year the Department will calculate the Distribution Adjustment Factor for billing in that fiscal year in accordance with the following formula:
DAF = (DR – DE + NI) ÷ kWh
Where
DAF = Distribution Adjustment Factor;
DR = Forecast Distribution Revenues from the Department’s Distribution Energy and Distribution Demand charges for the fiscal year including Other Income and Other Operating Revenues as applicable;
DE = Forecast Distribution Expenses consisting of Operation and Maintenance and Depreciation expenses as well as Interest Expense and other Income Deductions;
NI = The Department’s desired Net Income for the fiscal year consistent with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 164;
kWh = Forecast kWh sales for all customer classes subject to this clause
The Distribution Adjustment Factor so determined, either a charge or credit, will be applied to the Distribution Energy Charge in the appropriate retail rate schedule and will appear on the bill as a single charge which will be the net of the Distribution Energy Charge and the Distribution Adjustment Factor.
