Residential Rate Design –
Straight Fixed/Variable Proposal
Filing includes a proposal to gradually move more of residential
delivery bill to the fixed
customer charge, rather than usage-based kwh component through three step phase-in
Current rate design:  37% fixed / 63% variable split
Proposed:  60%/40% split in June 2011; 70%/30% in June 2012, and
80%/20% in June 2013
Mitigates impact of weather and load fluctuations due to weather
and economy
Rate design reflects current cost structure and sends appropriate price signals
Fixed costs to be collected via fixed charges (i.e. Customer Charge, Meter Charge)
Variable costs to be collected via variable charges (i.e. per kWh)
Eliminates economic disincentive to promote energy efficiency
Proposed Straight Fixed/Variable rate design is consistent with ICC
orders in other recent cases
