PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION Clause Samples

The 'Public Utilities Commission' clause defines the role and authority of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in relation to the agreement or subject matter at hand. Typically, this clause clarifies that the PUC has regulatory oversight over certain activities, such as the provision of utility services, rates, or infrastructure projects, and may require parties to comply with its rules, obtain approvals, or submit to its jurisdiction. For example, it may specify that any changes to service terms or rates must be approved by the PUC before taking effect. The core function of this clause is to ensure regulatory compliance and to allocate responsibility for adhering to public utility regulations, thereby reducing legal and operational risks for the parties involved.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION. Department of Commerce Oversight. Rate regulated utilities generally have to seek Commission approval in order to change rates or otherwise recover costs from their ratepayers. While the Commission has long recognized that it 1) the impact of the proposal on the company’s revenues (ensuring that it all flows back to the municipality); 2) the sufficiency of notice to the customers; and 3) the potential for unreasonable preferential treatment for any customer.22 Franchise fee filings, however, are becoming more frequent as cities are increasingly using franchise fees to offset declines in other city revenue sources. Xcel, for example, administers at least 49 franchise fees and has argued that the filing should be streamlined to avoid an excessive administrative burden on both the utility and the Commission.23 In two recent cases where a utility attempted to recoup its own costs of administering the franchise fee as part of the franchise fee line item on customer bills, the Commission determined the portion benefiting the utility was more akin to a rate than a franchise fee.24 While the Commission does not generally establish, authorize, or endorse a franchise fee, given its limited jurisdiction, the Commission will scrutinize and seek justification for anything that looks like a rate.25 The franchise fees are generally recoverable so long as they exclusively benefit the city and not the utility.26 The Commission has jurisdiction over anything that would flow back to benefit the utility and would be particularly concerned about preventing double-recovery of utility costs charged directly to municipal residents through a franchise fee line item and all customers through general rates. [27] In response to the issues and concerns raised by these cases, the Commission sought input on how utilities deal with the franchise fees in their billing and publicly available tariffs.28 Seeing a need for greater uniformity and a more streamlined process, the Commission established a mechanism by which utilities can file to recover franchise fees without prior Commission approval.29 Today utilities give the Commission 60 days’ notice prior to implementing a franchise fee, include a customer notice on the first bill on which the new or modified fee is listed – consistent with that filed in its approved tariff30 – list the fee as a separate line item on customer bills, file the relevant ordinance(s) with the Commission, and note in the tariff that 100% of the fees are remitted...
