FERC Accounting Construction Overhead Loading Worksheet

Overhead loadings can be greater than the cost of materials or labor on an electric project. This FERC Accounting construction overhead loading calculation worksheet provides the best-practice inputs into calculating the key overheads for electric construction:

  • Labor

  • Materials management (stores)

  • Equipment

  • The Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC)

The worksheet includes sample journal entries for setting up and recording each overhead type. Making sure that projects record the full cost of construction, including overheads, is necessary for equitable ratemaking. Use this to evaluate best-practices against your organization’s loading.
