The long-term incremental cost of service related to net utility plant invested by Company during the year is added to the stated customer or meter charge in each rate schedule. The long-term incremental costs are collected to cover the costs of capital improvements to repair, replace, and improve Company's natural gas system.

The formula for the GRIPA is: Distribution System GRIPA = (APl * FCR ' CAF) / S APl = Annual change in net utility plant investment from prior year as of December 31. FCR= Monthly Fixed Charge Rate of 1,288%. CAF= Capacity Allocation Factor for the major rate classes from Company's cost allocation study approved in the most recent rate case as follows: Capacity Allocation Distribution Rate Class Rate Schedule Factor (CAF) Residential Rate R 0.573869 Commercial Rate C 0.292377 Industrial & Transportation Rate I & Rate T 0.133754 S = The number of customers for Rate R and Rate C at the end of the prior year and the number of meters for Rate I and Rate T at the end of the prior year. Pipeline System GRIPA = (APl ' FCR * CAF)/S APl = Annual change in net utility plant investment from prior year as of December 31. FCR= Monthly Fixed Charge Rate of 1.151%.
