Where Your Electric Dollar Goes Most of the electricity we use on Kaua‘i is generated by engines and turbines that burn fuel. Buying that fuel is KIUC’s singlelargest expense. Just like the fuel you buy for your car, the price of fuel we buy changes every time we buy it. In fact, it changes so much more often than any of our other expenses that when the Hawai‘i Public Utilities Commission set the rates KIUC charges for electricity, it built in a monthly adjustment that goes up and down with the price we pay for fuel, for a given efficiency target. Fuel Costs as of July 2011 Fuel .53 Operations .20 Everything and everyone working to keep the lights on. Your Margins .07 For every $1 you pay, 7¢ goes into your account Taxes .08 State and county tax Capital .12 Depreciation & interest expense OCTOBER 2011 53
