Relates to consideration of capital expenditures in rate proceedings

Summary

The bill requires utilities seeking major rate changes to describe every capital project they want considered, including purpose, cost, lifespan, location, and expected benefits to ratepayers. The utility must post these project summaries on the Public Service Commission’s website, and it bears the burden of proving the rate increase is justified. The change aims to increase transparency and accountability in utility rate decisions.
