entire amount you pay for the fuel required to
produce the electricity you used is shown on your
bill in the space identified, Fuel Amt. This amount
is figured by multiplying the number of kilowatt-
hours of electricity you used by a fuel adjustment
factor which appears on your bill in the space
identified, Fuel Cost per Kwh. This factor is simply
the per kilowatt-hour cost of all fuel required to

The fuel cost per kilowatt-hour and the fuel amount
on your electric bill will vary from month to month.
These variations, either up or down, occur as the
price TP&L pays for each kind of fuel fluctuates
and as the amount of each kind of fuel used varies.
