Lengthy Case Processing Causes Overlapping

Of Electric Rate Increases




Overlapping of electric rate increases oc-
curs because under law and regulation, util-
ities can take advantage of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission's lengthy
rate case processing time by filing succes-
sive applications for rate increases and put-
ting them into effect while awaiting ap-
proval on previously filed applications.

This report discusses the

  --extent of overlapping rate increase
  cases and associated problems,
  --effect of such cases on investor-owned
  utilities and wholesale and retail cus-
  tomers, and
  --efforts the Commission has taken to
  lessen or eliminate the impacts of over-
  lapping rate increases.
