F/E ADJUST
Foreign Exchange Adjustment (or "F/E Adjust") is an adjustment applied to all charges excluding fuel and IPP. It is used to adjust the component of JPS cost which is US$ related now, relative to when the costs were originally calculated ie. it compensates for devaluation of the Jamaican Dollar.
FUEL &IPP CHARGE
This is the cost per kilo-watt-hour (kWh) for energy consumed. The Fuel portion consists of the total cost of fuel used by JPS and IPP in generating electricity. The IPP portion represents the difference between the IPP costs included in the other charges and the actual IPP non-fuel costs payable or paid by JPS. Regulation of run-time or increases in efficiency of various major electrical equipment will reduce this charge.
Z-FACTOR (eg. Hurricane Ivan recovery charge)
An adjustment approved by the OUR to recover costs incurred by JPS which are not due to JPS’ managerial decisions and which are not captured by the other approved charges of the tariff.
