Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering a proposal, filed on August 27, 2020, by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation (Central Hudson or the Company) to increase its gas delivery revenues for the rate year ending June 30, 2022, by approximately $14.9 million (12.1% in delivery revenues, or 7.2% in total revenues).
The Company’s requested increase in delivery revenues would result in an average residential monthly delivery bill increase $9.45 (10.1% increase on the delivery bill, or 8.0% increase on total bill for a heating customer using 70 Ccf per month. The Company has proposed using $8 million of moderation in the form of net regulatory liability bill credits to reduce the impact on customers from $14.9 million to $6.9 million. The resulting impact with the use of moderators on a typical residential heating customer would be $3.28 per month (3.5% increase on delivery bill, or 2.8% increase on total bill). The initial suspension period for the proposed filing runs through January 23, 2021.
The full text of the proposal and the full record of the proceeding may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may also resolve related matters.
