KFTC SupportsPublic UtilitiesHouse Bill 16 Bill Sponsor(s): Reps. Angie Hatton & Chris Harris |
Summary
|
Additional Information
When dealing with utilities, the Public Service Commission (PSC) is required to determine that the utility's rates are "fair and reasonable," and the PSC does that by looking at all of the utility's expenses and then setting a rate that guarantees utilities a 12% profit. There is no provision in the law for the PSC to take into account whether customers in the service territory can afford that rate. This law would add setting "rates that include affordability and balancing of interests of various parties affected by the rate" to their mandate. This bill sets a method for determining what the fixed rate should be. HB 16 is assigned to the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee. |
