  2. h. Other Accounting Guidance: • ASC 980-605-25 states that Nonutility Generators (NUG) are to recognize the lesser of (1) the amount billable under the contract or (2) a formula-based pricing arrangement, as revenue. • The formula-based pricing arrangement is determined by the kilowatt-hours (kwhs) made available during the period multiplied by the estimated average revenue per kwh over the term of the contract for the fixed or scheduled price period of the contract. • Revenue is not to be recognized utilizing the formula-based pricing arrangement if its only purpose is to establish liquidating damages.
