Event History

  • 07/07/1996 -- End of Pending - Reconsideration
  • 06/26/1996 -- Approved (The docket was approved with the following conditions set forth in the Commission's order: 1) The Company shall file substitute tariff sheets incorporating revised language on qualifying as an alternate supplier eligible to sell energy and capacity to customers under Schedule 26. 2) The Company shall provide restating and proforma adjustments to Commission-basis reports during the term of the experiment. Such adjustments should portray results of operations as if customers who subscribed to Schedule 26 were still under the tariff which would otherwise be applicable. 3) Following conclusion of the experiment, the Company bears the burden of demonstrating that other customer classes were not harmed or otherwise detrimentally affected. In the event that the Washington jurisdictional cost of providing service is worse-off as a result of the experiment, any harm identified by the Commission shall be borne exclusively by the Company. 4) The Company, Commission Staff, and other interested persons shall develop appropriate procedures to enable the Company to make information from the Schedule 26 experiment available to any interested person, both during the pendency of the experiment, and following its conclusion. The Company is required to provide an evaluation report to the Commission within 90 days of the expiration of the tariff summarizing the results of the experiment and addressing, in particular, issues related to jurisdictional utility taxation. 5) The Company is required to communicate with all affected state and local government taxing bodies regarding the impact of the Schedule 26 experiment on tax revenue and any related issues.)
