Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

That should be a multiply.
1 therm = 100,000 BTU
1 MMBTU = 10^6 BTU, 10X larger.
There are 10 therm/MMBTU

Yes, a multiply. Stupid me, I just cut and pasted off a website without using common sense.

(their hand written page 8 )

From their info, how are they using it? Multiplying it by 10 would make their revenue 10x more, are their numbers correct the way they are using them?
I looked all through the document and couldn't figure it out.
And yes, 10x therms = 1 MMBtu
Anyone figure out how they are doing it with dividing? I for one would like to know what/how they are doing it.

I don't know what they are doing either
Of course, they are justifying a rate increase. It is more important to make it look complex and intimidating than to be clear.
However, a price per MMBTU would have to be divided by 10 to give a price per therm. Maybe that is what they are doing.

I think you probably hit the answer exactly... make it so no one can figure it out and hand it out at the meeting. :(

They're converting a cost per unit energy, not a quantity of energy.
1MMBTU = 10 therms
So, if the rate is $1/MMBTU, you get 10 therms for your $1, so the cost per therm is 1/10 of a dollar, which is why they're dividing by 10.
Don't worry, they're not overcharging.
