The calculation of the OMC is provided in Attachment 1 and effective with this e-mail replacing
the 2015 value of $3.01 per thousand pounds of steam with $2.54 for 2016.
Three categories of operations and maintenance (OM) costs are included in the OMC: 1) OM
costs that are common to both types of steam produced—from Unit 1 (gas turbine) co-
generation and the auxiliary boiler, 2) OM costs that are only for cogeneration, and 3) OM costs
that are only for the auxiliary boiler.
A significant item included in number three above, is the cost of gas (priced at $1.87 per
mmbtu down from $3.36 per mmbtu) used to produce steam with the auxiliary boiler. These
costs are summed up for steam produced by both cogeneration and the auxiliary boiler to $1.28
per thousand pounds steam and $6.34 per thousand pounds of steam respectively. To arrive at
overall OMC for steam production, these amounts are weighted at 75% and 25% respectively
to reflect expected amounts of steam from the two sources and consistent with the Service
Factor in the Agreement. The overall OMC from these calculations is: $2.54 per thousand
pounds of steam or an decrease of $0.47 per thousand pounds of steam.
