PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Procedural Rules and Special Regulations, notice is hereby given of the Application of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the Company) for authority to revise Rule 12, as more fully described below.
1. RMP is a public utility as defined in Wyo. Stat. § 37-1-101(a)(vi)(C), subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction pursuant to Wyo. Stat. § 37-2-112.
2. RMP filed its Application on October 14, 2021, requesting authority to modify Rule 12 – Line Extension policy. RMP states that it recently reviewed its Rule 12, Line Extension tariff pursuant to the language contained in Rule 12, Section I.F which provides for a periodic review. The Company last reviewed and filed to revise its Rule 12 in Docket No. 20000-511-ET-17.
3. RMP updated its cost of service to align with the Commission’s May 18, 2021 and June 17, 2021 decision in RMP’s 2020 General Rate Case. Based on the results of its recent review, RMP is proposing to increase the residential extension allowance in Rule 12(II)(A). RMP proposes to increase the allowance for a permanent single residential application from $1,400 to $1,800 and for a residential application in a planned development from $400 to $500. RMP is not proposing any changes to the non-residential allowance at this time because the cost of service review shows no significant change from the prior review.
