Synopsis
This amendment clarifies the approval process for DSIC charges, making it clear such charges are subject to the PSC oversight and audit process. In addition, the amendment provides that customers not principally represented by the Delaware Public Advocate will also receive notice of DSIC filings. The amendment also prohibits an electric or gas utility serving over 100,000 customers from otherwise filing an electric distribution rate case until at least January 1, 2020, if the utility utilizes the DSIC mechanism established by this legislation. Finally, the amendment includes an expiration/sunset provision, thus triggering a review by the General Assembly and Governor of the effectiveness of the legislation.
