What is the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) on my utility bill?
You will see a PCA charge on your utility bill each month that is sometimes a charge and sometimes a credit (or a negative amount). But what is the PCA?
Also known as an Energy Cost Adjustment or Fuel Cost Adjustment, the PCA is essentially a line item on your bill that changes each month due to the changes in the cost of fuel for generation. This is NOT a change in your electric rates, but a change in the amount of the fuel used to generate the electricity we use. Some of your electricity is generated by burning coal or natural gas, and the cost of the fuels changes on a monthly basis. The PCA line item on your bill passes these costs on to you and is not something the village generates any extra revenue from.
So, in summary, if the costs of generating electricity is high one month, then the PCA will be a charge. If the costs of generating electricity is lower one month, then the PCA will show as a credit on your bill.
