(A) Each electric utility that is serving
customers pursuant to approved reasonable arrangements, may apply for a rider
for the recovery of certain costs associated with its delta revenue for serving
those customers pursuant to reasonable arrangements in accordance with the
following:
(1) The approval of the request for
revenue recovery, including the level of such recovery, shall be at the
commission's discretion.
(2)(1) The electric
utility may request recovery of direct incremental administrative costs related
to the programs as part of the rider. Such cost recovery
shall
may, as
ordered by the commission, be subject to audit, review, and approval by
the commission.
(3)(2) For reasonable
arrangements in which incentives are given based upon cost savings to the
electric utility (including, but not limited to, nonfirm arrangements, on/off
peak pricing, seasonal rates, time-of-day rates, real-time-pricing rates), the
cost savings shall
will be an offset to the recovery of the delta
revenues.
(4)(3) The amount of the
revenue recovery rider shall
will be spread to all customers in proportion
to
based on
the current revenue distribution between and among classes, subject to change, alteration, or modification by the
commission. The electric utility shall file the projected impact of
the proposed rider on all customers, by customer class.
(5)(4)
The rider shall be updated and reconciled, by application to the commission,
semiannually. All data submitted in support of the rider update is subject to
commission review and audit.
(B) If it appears to the commission that the
proposals in the application may be unjust and unreasonable, the commission
shall
will set
the matter for hearing.
At such hearing, the electric
utility will bear the burden of proof to show that the revenue recovery rider
proposal in the application is just and reasonable.
(1) At such hearing, the burden of
proof to show that the revenue recovery rider proposal in the application is
just and reasonable shall be upon the electric utility.
(2) The revenue recovery rider shall
be subject to change, alteration, or modification by the
commission.
(3) The staff shall have access to
all customer and electric utility information related to service provided
pursuant to the reasonable arrangements that created the delta revenue
triggering the electric utility's application to recover the costs associated
with said delta revenue.
(C) Affected parties may file a motion to
intervene and file comments and objections to any application filed under this
rule within twenty days of the date of the filing of the application.
