Report on results of audit related to charges for wholesale electric service by Southern California Edison Company under the Fuel-Adjustment Clause filed with the Federal Power Commission

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6784912
During the 14-month period beginning in May 1974 and ending in June 1975, Edison, through monthly fuel-adjustment clause (FAC) billings, charged its wholesale customers a total of about $28.3 million. The audit disclosed that in computing FAC charges applicable to its wholesale customers, Edison included certain costs not eligible for inclusion in FAC billings under the Commission's regulations. As a result, wholesale customers were billed through the FAC a total of about $666,000. The fact that certain costs were ineligible for inclusion under the FAC were not construed as meaning that the costs may not be proper for consideration in establishing Edison's cost of service for rate purposes, apart from the FAC. The staff concluded that in all other respects Edison had properly billed its customers for changes in the cost of fossil-fuel generation in accordance with its filed fuel-adjustment clause.
