2 Transmission Services Charge, Electricity Supply Charge and Purchased Electricity Adjustment (PEA) are electricity
supply related line items. The PEA could be a charge or a credit and varies monthly. Each charge is a per kWh value
multiplied by the kWh supplied in the billing period.
3 The charge to recover costs of a standard service connection, customer service operations, billing and other delivery system costs.
Also includes $0.57 in State of Illinois mandated adjustments for renewable energy resources, coal technology development and
low income energy assistance as well as residential real time pricing and consolidated billing programs. It is a per month charge.
4 The charge to recover the costs of meter reading and other standard metering services. It is a per month charge.
5 The charge to recover costs to install and maintain the electric delivery system. It is a per kWh charge multiplied by the kWhs

6 Environmental Cost Recovery Adjustment recovers certain environmental costs. Energy Efficiency Programs (EDA),
Franchise Cost and Taxes are government mandated line items. EDA recovers the cost of energy efficiency and demand
response measures. Franchise Cost recovers the cost that the local municipality requires to allow distribution facilities to be installed
within the municipality. The illustrative Franchise Cost percentage in the Sample Bill is a system average. State tax is applicable
to all customers. Municipal tax varies by municipality, and is dependent upon what, if any, municipal utility tax is imposed by the
municipality.
