On April 20, 2012, the NYPSC issued a final order in Case 11-G-0280 approving a Joint Proposal (the “Proposal”) for a three-year rate plan. The Proposal provided for revenue increases to Corning’s rates in the first year (May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013) of $944,310; in year two (May 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014) of $899,674; and in year three (May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015) of $323,591. The Proposal also provided the Company the opportunity to earn $545,284 from local production before sharing, a 118% increase from the $250,000 allowed previously. The Proposal also provided for property tax reconciliation, treatment of future local production investment, allocations to the Company’s new Leatherstocking operations, consolidation of the three divisional rate tariffs into a single rate tariff and recovery of forecasted capital and operation and maintenance costs for the period May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2015. The rates are based on a 9.5% return on equity. The cumulative potential revenue increases over the three years total $4,955,869. Year one rates became effective May 1, 2012 and year two rates became effective May 1, 2013.
