These requirements may be altered only | 20 | | as provided by statute. For purposes of such | 21 | | calculation, such average net per kilowatthour | 22 | | increase in rates of small electric customers that | 23 | | are not eligible retail customers shall be deemed | 24 | | to be equal to such average net per kilowatthour | 25 | | increase in rates of eligible retail customers. | 26 | | (ii) If, for any year, the small customer rate |

|
| 1 | | impact would exceed the limitation described in | 2 | | item (i) of this subparagraph (E), the clean coal | 3 | | fraction for each clean coal electricity buyer | 4 | | shall be adjusted for such year in a manner that | 5 | | shall result in (1) the quantity of electric power | 6 | | projected to be purchased by each clean coal | 7 | | electricity buyer being reduced by an amount | 8 | | sufficient to result in such deemed rate impact on | 9 | | all small electric customers (whether served by | 10 | | electric utilities or alternative retail electric | 11 | | suppliers) being equal to such limitation for such | 12 | | year and (2) any such reductions in amounts | 13 | | allocated to the clean coal electricity buyers in | 14 | | order to achieve the objective described in clause | 15 | | (1) of this item (ii) being allocated to, and | 16 | | purchased and paid for by, the clean coal | 17 | | electricity buyers in proportion to their retail | 18 | | sales to large electric customers. | 19 | | (iii) Each year, after taking account of the | 20 | | adjustment, if any, provided for in item (ii) of | 21 | | this subparagraph (E), a calculation shall be made | 22 | | to determine whether the large customer deemed | 23 | | rate impact for such year exceeds $0.005 per | 24 | | kilowatthour. If and for so long as the initial | 25 | | clean coal facility is an SNG-ready generating | 26 | | facility, the amount in the immediately preceding |

|
| 1 | | sentence shall be $0.00085, and not $0.005. The | 2 | | "large customer deemed rate impact" for any year is | 3 | | the projected increase in electric rates of large | 4 | | electric customers (whether served by electric | 5 | | utilities or alternative retail electric | 6 | | suppliers) due to the cost of electric power | 7 | | purchased under sourcing agreements to the extent | 8 | | it is based on each clean coal electricity buyer's | 9 | | retail sales to large electric customers, which | 10 | | shall be calculated in substantially the same | 11 | | manner as the calculation of rate impact on small | 12 | | electric customers, and shall assume that such | 13 | | cost of purchases under sourcing agreements is | 14 | | passed through proportionally by the clean coal | 15 | | electricity buyers to their large electric | 16 | | customers. The calculation of the large customer | 17 | | deemed rate impact shall (1) assume that the total | 18 | | retail sales (expressed in kilowatthours sold) to | 19 | | large electric customers by all clean coal | 20 | | electricity buyers for any year is the greater of | 21 | | the actual amount of such sales in such year and | 22 | | the amount of such sales in 2009 and (2) exclude | 23 | | from the calculation any actual costs for such year | 24 | | incurred by the initial clean coal facility to the | 25 | | extent such costs exceed the corresponding amount | 26 | | assumed in the "reference case" of the facility |
