Monthly Variations in Generation & Transmission Charges

The Generation and Transmission line item charge is calculated by multiplying the number of kilowatt hours (kWh) used by the current per kWh charge from Buckeye Power to generate and transmit power to South Central Power substations. The per kWh charge changes monthly based on factors such as the cost of fuel and environmental controls as well as demand on the system.
