DISTRIBUTION
COSTS.— 
The term ‘per unit distribution costs’ means the 
utility’s depreciated book-value distribution sys-

of utility electricity sales or transmission at the 
distribution level in kilowatt hours. 
‘‘(B) PER UNIT DISTRIBUTION MARGIN.— 
The term ‘per unit distribution margin’ means: 
‘‘(i) In the case of a State regulated 
electric utility, a per-unit gross pretax 
profit determined by multiplying the util-
ity’s State-approved percentage rate of re-
turn for distribution system assets by the 
per unit distribution costs. 
‘‘(ii) In the case of an nonregulated 
utility, a per unit contribution to net reve-
nues determined by dividing the amount of 
any net revenue payment or contribution 
to the nonregulated utility’s owners or sub-
scribers in the prior year by the utility’s 
gross revenues for the prior year to obtain

POWER.—Sales made by a project 
owner or operator under the option described in

owatt hour basis that shall equal the full 
undiscounted retail rate paid to the utility for 
power purchased by such a facility minus per 
unit distribution costs, as applicable to the type 
of utility purchasing the power. If the net ex-
cess power is made available for purchase at 
voltages that must be transformed to or from 
voltages exceeding 25 kilovolts to be available 
for resale by the utility, then the purchase price 
shall further be reduced by per unit trans-
mission costs.
