FGT states that on February 28, 2003, in Docket No. RP03-268-000, FGT filed to establish a Base Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage (Base FRCP) of 3.49 % to become effective for the six-month Summer Period beginning April 1, 2003. FGT states that in the instant filing, it is filing a flex adjustment of (0.24%) to be effective April 1, 2003, which, when combined with the Base FRCP of 3.49% results in an Effective Fuel Reimbursement Charge Percentage of 3.25%. FGT states that this filing is necessary because it is currently experiencing lower fuel usage than will be recovered by the Base FRCP of 3.49%. FGT explains that decreasing the FRCP will reduce FGT's overrecovery of fuel and reduce the Unit Fuel Surcharge in the next Summer Period.
