Rate Design. All rate design changes require PUC approval. All classes of customers will be charged an equal cents per kWh amount for each of the System Benefits Charge, the Energy Consumption Tax (unless modified by a revision to the legislation) and Transition Service (for those customers taking such service). Other than the specific items referenced above, PSNH will recover its costs through customer, demand, meter, and energy (kWh) charges, subject to the constraint that any change to rate design will not result in a shifting of costs between the residential class and all other classes. All rate design changes will be performed on a revenue neutral basis. The average rate reduction for the residential class will be the same as the average rate reduction for all other classes combined. The rate reduction for individual customers or for different general service classes may vary from the average overall rate reduction. Any changes to rate design may not result in a higher bill for any customer. PSNH may seek to adjust or elimixxxx the current humped design of the standard residential rate. PSNH may redesign its general service rates (Rates G, GV and LG) to provide for a smooth transition for customers who switch from one rate class to another as a result of load changes. Rates under Rate COPE and Rate LCS may receive a lower percentage discount than the discount applied to rates for standard service under residential rates and Rate G.
Rate Design. Conservation (Tiered) Rates. The Settling Parties agree that the current rate design for conservation (tiered) rates, as approved through Great Oaks’ Advice Letter 299-W is just and reasonable and shall continue unchanged, effective July 1, 2022. The factors to be applied to the uniform quantity rate to calculate the rates charged for each of the three tiers are shown in the table below. Conservation Rate Design Tier Quantity Factor Applied to Uniform Quantity Rate 1 0 – 12 ccfs Bi-Monthly 0.7110 2 13 – 20 ccfs Bi-Monthly 1.2270 3 Over 20 ccfs Bi-Monthly 1.4570 References: Exhibit GOWC-1, Exhibit D, Chapter 4; Exhibit GOWC-2, WP48; Exhibit GOWC-5, pp. 18 – 20; Exhibit GOWC-6, WP48; Exhibit CA-1, pp. 4-1, 4-3 to 4-4; Exhibit CA-2, WP48.
Rate Design. Effective December 1, 2004, the PJM transmission rates shall be calculated in accordance with the Going-Forward Principles and Procedures accepted by FERC on March 19, 2004 in Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc., et al., 106 FERC 61,260 (2004) applicable to the long term transmission pricing structure; provided, however, that nothing in this Article 5 is intended (a) to limit or change the right of Dominion Virginia Power under Section 2.2.1 of this Agreement to file pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act to change rates and charges for transmission and ancillary services (including, without limitation, incentive rates) for delivery to the Dominion Virginia Power zone, schedules for new services solely involving the transmission facilities of Dominion Virginia Power, and the revenue requirement for Dominion Virginia Power for use in developing rates for other transmission services provided by PJM; or (b) to authorize the PJM Transmission Owners to file pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, either as part of a proposal to change the overall PJM rate design or otherwise, to change rates and charges for transmission and ancillary services (including, without limitation, incentive rates) for delivery to the Dominion Virginia Power zone, schedules for new services solely involving the transmission facilities of Dominion Virginia Power, and the revenue requirement for Dominion Virginia Power for use in developing rates for other transmission services provided by PJM without the express consent of Dominion Virginia Power.
Rate Design. No later than November 1, 2012, WMECO shall file a revenue-neutral rate design plan with the Department to realign customer rates in a manner that coincides with the decline in the transition charge resulting from the termination of the pay-down of the securitized bonds, which is expected to occur during May of 2013, and in a manner that is consistent with the Department’s rate design principle of rate continuity and gradualism to address open rate design issues cited in the Department’s order in D.P.U. 10-70. Prior to filing with the Department, WMECO will consult with the Attorney General to develop a proposal so that the combination of this distribution rate realignment and the reduction in the transition charge preclude a cumulative increase in rates to any rate class. Furthermore, any distribution rate increase to a class shall be set on a uniform cents per kilowatt-hour basis, unless WMECO and the Attorney General agree prior to filing that customers would be more reasonably and equitably served by a different approach. WMECO shall consult with the Attorney General’s office at least 30 days prior to the filing to review and discuss the proposals that will be made in the rate design filing.
Rate Design. Staff reviewed the Company’s current rate design in its investigation. The current rate design is a quarterly flat rate for single-family dwellings as there are no meters for recording water usage. Staff is not making any recommendations to change the Company’s current rate design in this case but plans to revisit the rate design in any future rate case proceeding. (Xxxxx)
Rate Design. The Parties agree to the rate design attached hereto as Appendix B, Schedule 3 and incorporated herein by this reference. The rate design includes the following provisions.
Rate Design. The Settling Parties agree that the results of the rate design process as shown by the rate schedules in Appendix C to this Agreement (“Phase 2 Rate Design Agreement”) are reasonable and should be adopted by the Commission. Appendix C lists rates that reflect the Phase 2 Revenue Allocation Agreement, and the additive impact of the DA CRS revenue allocation adjustments. These rates are based on the estimated total system revenue requirement for June 2006 and shall be adjusted consistent with the terms of this Agreement to reflect SCE’s actual total system revenue requirement when this Agreement is implemented and consistent with the Commission’s final decision on the working group report in the DA CRS proceeding.
Rate Design. The Signatory Parties agree not to file new or updated class cost of service studies or to propose changes to rate structures in Rate Filing #2.
Rate Design a. LGS- Equal percentage increases to fixed charge and volumetric rate elements. LGS for customers whose usage exceeds 10,000 Ccf on an annual basis, but whose usage does not exceed 30,000 Ccf in any one month. The seasonal differential shall be retained; and,
Rate Design. Staff also reviewed the Company’s current rate design in its investigation. The current rate structure for all three service areas consists of a flat monthly service charge for sewer service, with different charges for the different service areas. The Company has proposed a single monthly service charge among the three service areas. Staff will review the Company’s proposal when the Auditing Unit has completed its report.
