Regulated utility support

Regulated utilities, both investor- and non-investor-owned, must obtain approval of a state utility commission for most decisions, such as rate increases or changes to rate structures. This is a legal process, as the utility must actually file a rate case with their state commission. Every aspect of the rate case is scrutinized by not only the state regulator, but often also a consumer advocate and other intervenors.

In addition to the heavy scrutiny, rate filings are costly and quite time consuming for a regulated utility; for these reasons, it’s imperative the utility conduct rigorous research and sound analyses, and seek expert opinions prior to filing.
