This is a NumbersCentral where I have no idea what more than half of these numbers mean, but I do know it’s a lot of money. Let’s see how much Danville Utilities paid for the electricity it sold in February 2015.
In our last Utility Commission article, a commenter asked about the $1 million in congestion charges that Danville Utilities racked up in February. Here’s the recap of the wholesale power costs for February 2015.
Yep. $8,557,300. And eighty cents. We can’t forget about those eighty cents.
Through American Municipal Power, Danville Utilities owns part of the Fremont & Prairie State power plants. Those plants are far away so Danville is charged to get the electricity from there to here. Or something like that. Between those two power plants, it looks like Danville was charged $1,520,859.29 to get $1,141,847.69 worth of their electricity here. At least it looks that way. I don’t know what half of these numbers mean, and I’m betting that very few other people can decipher this. If I get an explanation on this, I’ll be glad to add it to this article.
So there you have a NumbersCentral with a lot of big numbers. So there.
It costs more to get it here than its worth? As a consumer would we see this as cost effective in any other industry.
Thank you for shedding the light of day on this ”management”…keep it up, please, Bruce.
It would help a lot more to know what all of these numbers really mean. They were glossed over very quickly at Monday’s meeting.
