It is an adjustment based on the kilowatts that each customer uses each month.

The running, weighted-average cost shall be for the most recent three consecutive months, being the sum of energy costs actually paid in that period divided by the sum of energy sold in the same period. Whenever the three-month running, weighted-average of energy exceeds (or is less than) 50 cents per kilowatt-hour sold, a charge shall be added to (or deducted from) each customer’s next monthly electric bill in the amount of .001 cent per kwh for each .001 cent, or major fraction thereof, by which said average cost exceeds (or is less than) 50 cents.
