October All-Requirements Project Rates
The average billed demand and energy cost for FMPA’s All-Requirements Project in October was $69.76/MWh, which was 8% above the budgeted cost. Participant energy sales were 1.6% below budget, primarily due to milder weather. Third party sales were 13% above budget with the new CFTOD sale. Rice Creek Solar Facility has begun testing, and the Solar II surcharge was included in the billings. The agenda package is available via the Portal.
