<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>I am trying to create gas rate structure. I
want to include delivery charges for the first </span>500 m<sup>3</sup> , Next
1,050 m<sup>3</sup>, Next 4,500 m<sup>3</sup> so on, transportation charge, gas
supply charge, and cost adjustment.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Similarly I have to do that for electrical energy usage.<o:p></o:p></p>
