Designing Calculation Groups and Rules

Before starting to design calculation groups and rules for your rates, please review the concepts outlines in the Designing Rate Components section in the Rates chapter. That section provides a good background for understanding how to break down rates into component pieces that can be modeled by calculation groups and rules.

This section provides guidelines for how to design and plan the calculation groups and rules you will need for your rates, and provides a simple case study of how to define the calculation rules and groups you might use for a set of rates for a small municipal electric company.
