Hours-Based - For Calculation Purposes Only Rate Component

The strange thing about this rate is rate component 20. It is used "for calculation purposes only". Notice what it's calculating - the number of kilowatts (kW). Why is it necessary? Because hour-based steps have to be multiplied by the number of kW used by the customer in order to derive the real kWh based steps. Why? Because number of kWh / number of kW = number of hours. Therefore an hour * number of kW = number of kWh.
