CT SB00333

Municipal electric companies must consider and determine by July 1, 2018 whether to implement rate design standards including cost of service, prohibition of declining block rates, time of day rates, seasonal rates, interruptible rates, and load management techniques

Municipal electric companies must consider and determine by June 1, 2017 whether to implement electric vehicle time of day rates for residential and commercial customers

Rate design considerations must follow public notice and hearing requirements, with written determinations made publicly available that consider evidence presented at hearings

A standard is deemed appropriate for implementation if it encourages energy conservation, optimal facility and resource use, and equitable rates for consumers

Municipal electric companies that completed rate design standard or electric vehicle time of day rate considerations before July 1, 2017 are not required to conduct additional considerations for those same standards
