# Volume 7 — Schedules H-1 through H-5 (Doc. 47, Vol. 7) 83 pages. **The arithmetic of the $44.6M rate-design proposal.** Schedule H-1 is the headline summary of revenues by rate class at present vs proposed rates. Schedules H-2 through H-5 provide the per-tariff-component detail (customer charges, energy charges, demand charges, riders). ## Key takeaways — Schedule H-1 The summary of revenues by rate class, comparing present rates to proposed rates (all dollars, pro forma test year): | Rate Class | Rate Schedule Rev (Present) | FRP Rider Rev (Present) | Fuel Rider Rev | Other Riders Rev | Total Retail Sales (Present) | Rate Schedule Rev (Proposed) | Total Retail Sales (Proposed) | **Proposed Change (Sched Rev)** | **% Change (Schedule)** | **Total Retail Sales Change** | **% Change (Total)** | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Residential | $604,595,700 | $316,987,149 | $104,143,491 | $28,969,193 | $1,054,695,534 | $921,583,093 | $1,054,695,777 | **$243** | **0.00%** | $243 | 0.00% | | Small General Service | $314,014,954 | $157,952,546 | $56,668,651 | $16,352,037 | $544,988,188 | $510,277,619 | $583,298,306 | **$38,310,118** | **8.12%** | $38,310,118 | 7.03% | | Large General Service | $347,096,732 | $171,195,395 | $131,943,775 | $20,156,603 | $670,392,505 | $524,571,083 | $676,671,462 | **$6,278,957** | **1.21%** | $6,278,957 | 0.94% | | Lighting | $27,594,043 | $13,447,442 | $3,575,780 | $2,023,170 | $46,640,435 | $41,041,418 | $46,640,368 | **($67)** | **0.00%** | ($67) | 0.00% | | **Total** | **$1,293,301,430** | **$659,582,532** | **$296,331,696** | **$67,501,003** | **$2,316,716,662** | **$1,997,473,213** | **$2,361,305,913** | **$44,589,251** | **2.28%** (rate sched) | $44,589,251 | **1.92%** (total) | (Note 1 on schedule: proposed rate schedule revenue has been reduced by $9,792 to reflect additional AFCR and reclassified revenues. See Schedule H-5, p. 1.) ### What this schedule reveals - **Residential and Lighting both see 0% rate-schedule changes** — by political mitigation, not by strict cost-of-service. Per the Application narrative ([[26-001-U Doc 47 Volume 1 Application and Schedules A-B|Volume 1]], paragraph 10), the strict cost-of-service result would have charged Residential and Lighting *more*; EAL is reallocating their surplus to SGS. - **Small General Service absorbs $38.3M of the $44.6M increase** — 8.12% of its rate-schedule revenue. - **Large General Service sees a $6.28M / 1.21% increase**. *This is where any data-center special-contract customer would be classified if served under the standard tariff* — but, as Klucher's testimony makes clear, special-contract customers are excluded from this study entirely. The LGS revenue here is the conventional-tariff large-customer revenue, not the hyperscale customers. The total Total Retail Sales of $2,316,716,662 (present) and $2,361,305,913 (proposed) reconcile to the rate-base / total-revenue framework in [[26-001-U Doc 47 Volume 6 Schedules G|Schedule G-1 (Vol. 6)]] (with FRP Rider revenue, Fuel Rider revenue, and Other Riders broken out separately). ## Schedule H-2 — per-tariff-component detail H-2 (pp. 4+) shows the rate-component arithmetic — for Residential, Small General Service, Large General Service, and Lighting — at present rates, present rates with FRP rider, and proposed rates. Sample: Residential Customer Charge currently $8.40 / month, proposed $12.92 / month — a $4.52/month increase per customer (5,403,885 bills × $12.92 = $69,818,194 in proposed annual customer-charge revenue). The Customer Charge bill component is the most-regressive part of the rate design. Schedules H-3, H-4, and H-5 cover detail on supplemental riders, billing-determinant calculations, and the AFCR / reclassified-revenue reconciliation. ## People and orgs mentioned - [[Entergy Arkansas]] - [[Caroline McNeal]] — sponsor of the proposed tariff revisions (Doc. 54) ## Concepts invoked - [[Cost-of-service study]] — Schedule H-1 is the rate-design *application* of the Schedule G cost-of-service result - The "mitigated approach" Klucher describes — see [[Class Cost of Service Study]] ## Cross-references - The cost-allocation foundation is in [[26-001-U Doc 47 Volume 6 Schedules G|Schedule G-1]]. - The full proposed tariff text is in [[26-001-U Doc 47 Volume 8 Schedule H-10 Proposed Tariffs|Volume 8]] (clean) and [[26-001-U Doc 47 Volume 9 Schedule H-10 Revision-Marked Tariffs|Volume 9]] (revision-marked). - Caroline McNeal's [[Proposed Rate Schedule Revisions]] testimony explains the tariff changes that produce these numbers. ## Open questions / follow-ups - The Customer Charge increase from $8.40 to $12.92 is a 53.8% increase in the **flat monthly charge** — even though Residential rate-schedule total revenue is 0%, the customer-charge increase is offset by energy-charge decreases. This rate-design choice flattens the bill structure (more fixed, less volumetric) and may affect rooftop solar / electrification economics in ways the rate case does not analyze.
