With energy rates on the up<\/a> this season, we\u2019ve all been poring over our power bills with the finest of fine toothed combs. And there\u2019s one knot that’s especially hard to unpick. Yep, you\u2019ve guessed it: that pesky pass through charge that determines your natural gas bill<\/a>! Now, we\u2019ve touched on<\/a> this riddle wrapped in a mystery wrapped in an alarmingly high price tag before. But now, we\u2019re going to help you compare which bits cost what – and find out how to keep it cheap! So sharpen your pencils, kids! We’re taking on the AGL pass through charge worksheet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Your Energy Bill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll know from our previous posts that the pass through charge is a lump sum Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) charges its customers to cover a bundle of different operational costs.\u00a0Well, AGL has released a handy little Excel worksheet<\/a> to help you calculate how it all breaks down. So go dig out your most recent gas bill, and let\u2019s get to work! We\u2019ll use this generic one<\/a> from Gas South to walk you through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Fill In Your Pass Through Charge Worksheet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need three bits of info from your bill to begin. Firstly, your DDDC Factor. This is truly the Waldo of your gas bill, in that whilst it\u2019s definitely there, it can be a tough blighter to spot! In our example, see the table marked by the 4 in the red circle? The 0.975 DDDC Factor is in tiny print, right after \u2018How We Calculated Your Gas Charges\u2019. Find yours, and put it in the DDDC Factor box at the top of the worksheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, you\u2019ll need to know if you\u2019re in the Peaking Group, and this won\u2019t always be included on your bill. However, the peaking service only applies if you\u2019re in the Valdosta, Macon, or Atlanta delivery areas. We\u2019ll assume that 123 Fake Ave isn\u2019t\u2026 but plug in \u2018yes\u2019 for Peaking Pool Charge if that\u2019s you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, you\u2019ll need to fill in whether or not you receive a Senior Citizens Discount. If you\u2019re not sure, you should be able to find confirmation somewhere on your bill. Stick it in, and voil\u00e1! Watch the worksheet calculate the breakdown of your pass through charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Watch Out for with the Pass Through Charge Worksheet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most influential factor on any natural gas customer’s bill is by far and away going to be your DDDC charge. Because, if you look at column D, you can see that it\u2019s used as a multiplier for a bunch of different fees. Our example bill has a DDDC factor of 0.975. But if you switch that out for 2, say, it adds a good few more dollars to the overall charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what does this mean for AGL customers? Well, the DDDC factor is re-calculated annually, based on how much natural gas demand your home pulls from the AGL gas system<\/a> on the coldest day of the year. If you use less then your DDDC could be lower the following year. So being energy-conscious this winter could help you pull it down. And that could make you real monthly savings in future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
