I got a real low kWH charge but a huge Fuel and Purchased Power... don't ask it a very sore subject. But direct from my utility company web sight:

Utility Charge (kWh charge)

This charge is multiplied by the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) used in a monthly billing period. It covers the costs to maintain power plants and substations, interest on loans as well as wires, power poles and transformers.

For our example of the average residential bill, the Utility Charge is calculated:
700 x $.08791 = $61.537
Fuel and Purchased Power

This charge is based on a combination of forecasted and actual power costs. The monthly charge allows Golden Valley to pass on increases and decreases in fuel and energy purchases to our members. It is calculated quarterly and multiplied by the kilowatt-hours used each month.

In the sample bill, it is calculated as:
700 x $.10924 = $76.468

Yea pretty pissed off over new fuel surcharge :(

I'm on a tier system here, it starts at 0.12 per kwh and goes up to 0.40 per kwh. We can use a few more kwh per day in the summer, I think up to 16 before it doubles, then it almost doubles again above 32.
