RCA ORDER #14

 

ORDER EXTENDING STATUTORY TIMELINE WITH CONSENT

OF PARTIES AND EXTENDING TARIFF SUSPENSION

 

BY THE COMMISSION:

 

"The current timeline for issuance of a final order in this docket is Aug. 26, 2011.  However, we may extend this timeline with the consent of all parties of record.  Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, the Attorney General, and Juneau Peoples' Power Project are the parties of record in this proceeding and they have consented to an extension of the statutory timeline until Sept. 2, 2011."




Final decision delayed


July 27, 2011 --
The original deadline has been extended by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska for 30 days, putting the new deadline no later than Aug. 26, 2011.  For August, AEL&P will continue billing under the approved interim rate as we have for the past year.


RCA grants interim increase

July 16, 2010 -- The Regulatory Commission of Alaska has granted AEL&P an interim rate increase of 20% on energy and demand charges.  This rate increase is immediately effective and will be reflected on bills mailed on Monday, July 19th.  If the RCA later approves permanent rates that are lower than the interim rates, the difference will be repaid to our customers with interest.

 

We know that no one wants to pay more for electricity.  However, this interim rate increase helps to bring our rates more in line with the true cost of providing service to our customers. 

 

We look forward to working with the RCA as the rate case process continues.  This is one of the most complex rate cases AEL&P has ever filed and we are prepared for a thoughtful and rigorous review.  The RCA has scheduled a final decision on this rate filing by July 27 of next year.
