Comments requested on the rate impact provision in CETA
Commerce is conducting a workshop with the Utility and Transportation Commission (UTC) on March 17 to discuss the methodology for calculating the incremental cost of CETA compliance. This provision is RCW 19.405.060(4) for consumer-owned utilities. To help prepare for that workshop, Commerce is requesting written comments from stakeholders. The UTC requested comments on the same topic, as applied to investor-owned utilities, in Docket UE-191023. Comments are due Feb. 28, and the request for comment is available on Commerce’s CETA rulemaking webpage.
Small utility reporting and planning workshop
Commerce is holding a workshop on April 6 to discuss reporting and planning for small utilities under CETA. This workshop will focus on requirements for utilities that have fewer than 25,000 customers and utilities that are not required to prepare an integrated resource plan under RCW 19.280.030(1). Details will be provided before the workshop.
