Conn. Agencies Regs. § 16-19d-2 - Application for determination of eligibility
(a)
(1) Each gas or electric company that seeks to
recover costs under section 16-19d (b) of the Connecticut General Statutes shall
file an application with the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority requesting a
determination of eligibility for recovery of the reasonable expenditures incurred in
the promotion or marketing of efficient gas and electric equipment. A company may
request that the filing be included as part of a company's rate proceeding under
section 16-19 (a) of the Connecticut General Statutes provided that, in order to
make such request, the company shall waive the one hundred and twenty day time
requirement set forth in section 16-19d-3(a) of the Regulations of Connecticut
State Agencies.
(2) No such application
shall be required if a cost is to be incurred after having been included in a gas
company's conservation and load management plan reviewed and approved by the
Authority pursuant to section 16a-49-3(a) of the Regulations of Connecticut State
Agencies.
(b) Each
application shall contain sufficient testimony and data documenting all of the
following:
(1) the equipment to be promoted or
marketed is (A) efficient and (B) the use of such equipment and the proposed amount
to be budgeted for promotion or marketing would provide net economic benefit to the
company's customers. In support of the net economic benefit criterion, the company
shall provide specific data demonstrating:
(i) the
ratepayers or customer group(s) targeted by the proposed promotion or
marketing;
(ii) the anticipated impact
of such promotional or marketing program on the electric or gas company's demand and
energy requirements;
(iii) the projected
incremental impact on rates and bills to the company's customers, including
non-participants in the promoted measures;
(2) that the use and promotion of the equipment is
consistent with the state's conservation and energy policy;
(3) that the use and promotion of the equipment is
consistent with integrated resource planning principles and with other demand or
supply options as identified in the company's least cost integrated resource
plan;
(4) that the promotion or
marketing of the equipment does not have as its primary purpose the promotion of one
fuel over another. In support, the company shall provide documentation establishing
to the satisfaction of the Authority that such promotion or marketing is designed
primarily to promote the replacement of existing equipment with more energy
efficient equipment, or to install efficient equipment in new
construction.
