This Decision and Order establishes, effective January 1, 2024, that the WMS rate, including Capacity Based Recovery (CBR), remains unchanged at $0.0045 per kilowatt-hour, and that the RRRP charge increases to $0.0014 per kilowatt-hour from the current level of $0.0007 per kilowatt-hour. As a result, there will be a monthly total bill increase of approximately $0.52 for a residential customer consuming 750 kWh.
These rates appear on the tariffs of rates and charges of all distributors and are reflected under the line item called Regulatory Charges on customers’ bills.
