! Mr. Bukovski estimates that any delays in start-up of Braidwood Unit 1 will increase Ceco's costs of generating or purchasing electric energy by approximately $10 million per month.  :

Under the company's currently effective fuel adjustment clause, these additional costs are passed on to its customers. Mr. l Bukovski's estimate does not include additional carrying charges l (e.g., AFUDC) attributable to any delay in Unit 1 start-up and operation.
