PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed action:
The Public Service Commission is considering whether to approve or reject, in whole or in part, a proposal filed by the Bath Electric, Gas and Water Systems to make various changes in the rates, charges, rules and regulations contained in its schedule for electric service, P.S.C. No. 1—Electricity, to become effective Oct. 1, 2007.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 66(12)
Subject:
Mini rate filing.
Purpose:
To increase annual electric revenues by approximately $169,652 or 4.2 percent.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering Bath Electric, Gas and Water System's (Bath) request to increase its annual electric revenues by approximately $169,652 or 4.2%. Bath's proposal includes an increase to the customer charge from $2.90 per month to $8.00 per month for S.C. No. 1—Residential (S.C. No. 1) and S.C. No. 2—General Service Non-Demand Metered (S.C. No. 2). Bath also proposes to introduce an Electric Heat Energy Conservation Provision that would apply to S.C. No. 1 and S.C. No. 2 customers. Under the Electric Heat Energy Conservation Provision, the tail block rates (over 2,200 kWh) of usage during the winter billing period (November to April) have been set to equal the estimated marginal cost of supplying power, as to be determined from time to time. The revenues collected under this provision will not be retained by Bath, but passed back to all customers under the Purchase Power Adjustment Clause. The proposed filing has an effective date of October 1, 2007. The Commission may approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, Bath's request.
