If you’re a customer of Oconto Falls Municipal Utilities, your monthly bill most likely includes a line item labeled, “Power Cost Adjustment Clause (PCAC).” We use the PCAC to pass through to you the actual costs for purchasing your wholesale power.  The PCAC can increase or decrease monthly depending on variations in weather, customer usage, fuel costs and many other factors.  The PCAC may also be referred to as the fuel cost adjustment or a purchased power adjustment.
