Schedule F – Fixed Rate Gas Service

Effective June 2, 2025 (Supersedes Schedule F effective January 2, 2025)

Availability

This rate schedule is available to customers contracting for the purchase of fixed quantities of natural gas at a fixed price for up to a 48-month period. This Rate Schedule must be accompanied with a separate fixed quantity/fixed rate agreement (“Agreement”).

  1. Customer must purchase gas under one of the following commercial or industrial gas rate schedules. This may be referred to as Customer’s underlying rate schedule.
    • Schedule B, Commercial or Industrial Firm Gas Service
    • Schedule C, Large Volume Firm Gas Service
    • Schedule 3, Interruptible Gas Service (the related Schedule F agreement is subject to curtailment)
    • Schedule CS – 1, Contract Gas Service
  2. Customer must have total gas requirements of not less than 100 decatherms per day during the term of the Agreement and this Rate Schedule. Multiple meters/sites may be combined to meet this requirement. Customer shall agree to a monthly minimum of 2,500 Decatherms.
  3. Agreement must specify the fixed quantity of gas to be delivered by the District to Customer per month (“Contracted Gas”).
  4. Remote automatic meter reading facilities must be installed to District specifications for each meter combined under the contract. Installation of the automatic meter reading facility will be at customer expense.
  5. Customer must have authorized personnel available during normal working hours that can accept or reject the fixed price offered upon notice from the District. The District will solicit offers from third party gas suppliers or marketing companies for packages of gas to meet the customers’ requests. The District will advise Customer of the best offer available and of the timeframe available for acceptance by Customer. If Customer fails to accept during the available time frame, the District will interpret that failure to accept as a rejection and take steps to acquire additional offers. The District is not liable for any changes in pricing due to Customer’s failure to accept any offer during the available timeline. Offers are subject to change based on market factors beyond the District’s control.

Rate – Monthly Billing

The contract “unit cost of gas” (UCOG) purchased by the District for this Rate Schedule will displace the variable “weighted-average cost of gas” (WACOG) included in the commodity charge of other District rate schedules as adjusted by the monthly GCA (gas cost adjustment). All other charges in the other District Rate Schedules will apply to this Rate Schedule. A monthly administrative charge will also apply to this Rate Schedule.

The District reserves the right to pass on any additional tax or surcharge that may be imposed on the sale or transportation of gas under this rate schedule by any governmental or regulatory body during the course of the contract year.

Additional Charges

Actual volumes purchased will be balanced to contract quantities. The following additional charges may apply:

  • If actual volumes used are less than the Contracted Gas for the billing month and The UCOG of the Contract Gas is greater than the District’s system WACOG for the month, an additional charge equal to the Contract Gas UCOG minus the system WACOG per decatherm will apply to the variance of actual volumes from Contract Gas volumes.
  • The contract Gas UCOG is less than the system WACOG for the month no additional charges or credits will be assigned to the Customer.
  • If a variance is caused by District curtailment, no additional charges will apply.
  • If actual volumes used are greater than Contract Gas volumes for the billing month, actual volumes in excess of Contract Gas volumes will be billed at the customer’s applicable underlying rate schedule, i.e., rate schedule B, C, 3, or CS-1.

The available daily volume is the monthly contract volume divided by days of the month. The District will use best efforts to meet Customer’s requests for volumes in addition to the Contracted Gas and/or available daily volume but does not guarantee it will be able to meet any such request. Any additional charges for transportation, storage, or other fees from the upstream pipeline will be passed on to and paid by Customer. The District may impose limits on daily flow volumes if Customer elects to use more than the available daily volume. Such limits on daily flow volumes will be imposed in the sole discretion of the District.

Curtailment

This Rate Schedule is subject to curtailment when it is linked to a Sch 3 agreement (Interruptible Gas Service). At the sole discretion of the District, if operations allow, the District may flow daily volume to Sch 3 customer on an interruptible basis. Customer will be responsible for all additional pipeline charges and District is not responsible for any damages for any failure to deliver daily flow volumes for such Sch 3 customers. Customer will be responsible for pipeline penalty charges if gas is not able to flow and customer does not switch to alternate fuel or refrain from use.

Termination

Customer may only terminate this Rate Schedule and Agreement in accordance with the following:

  1. Termination must be in writing, received by the District three (3) business days prior to the end of any calendar month.
  2. A termination penalty equal to $1.50 multiplied by the volume of Contracted Gas will be assessed to Customer plus any additional charge equal to the contract UCOG minus the system WACOG per decatherm.
  3. Customer will be prohibited from entering into any future Schedule F agreements for five years.

Statutory Payment to Cities

Under Nebraska Revised Statutes §§ 14-2138 and 2139, the District is required to pay to each city or village two percent (2%) of the annual gross revenue derived from all retail sales of gas. Accordingly, all Customers utilizing this Rate Schedule residing within the city of the metropolitan class and all other such customers residing in any other city or village in which the District sells gas shall pay an additional two percent (2%) of the rates detailed above as more specifically set forth within the underlying rate schedule. The UCOG contract price will also be adjusted to include two percent (2%) for city or village when applicable.

Other Terms and Conditions

All terms and conditions of the customer’s applicable underlying rate schedules that are not modified by the above shall apply to gas service rendered under this rate schedule.
