Decoupling means decoupling profits from sales volumes. Prior to 2007, if the utility’s sales volumes decreased, it would forego profits. Under the Bill Stabilization Adjustment (BSA) approved by the Maryland Commission, if in a particular month the company's sales were below or above those projected in its most recent rate case order, there is a “true-up” feature that either charges the customers extra to make up for the foregone revenues or refunds to customers the excess revenues, in the next month. Thus if there is an outage that reduces sales, the company loses no revenues even if that outage was caused by imprudence. This treatment incorrectly protects the utility from the consequences of its imprudence, causing ratepayers to pay for service they never received.
