• The costs of power purchases from other utilities
• The costs of brokers expenses used in the purchase of power
• ERCOT charges including Uplift Costs and ancillary purchases
  Sub QSE costs/<less revenues> and TCR costs/<less revenues>
• Control Center costs and GEUS Power Supply costs
• Any revenue collected for fuel for energy sold off-system is subtracted from the above sum
  

   

General Fund Transfer

The City of Greenville’s City Charter requires that GEUS transfer 5% of adjusted gross revenues to the City of Greenville’s general fund and 1% to the city’s general fund dedicated for the use and benefit of the Board of Development. The GFT charge shall be determined by multiplying the factor 0.06 (6%) times the total monthly charges incurred by a customer.
