Monitoring of application of adjustment clauses
Official statutory text
Whenever the Commission approves a purchased power adjustment
clause pursuant to Section 258 of this title, the clause shall apply
to all similar distribution cooperatives affected by such increased
costs. In addition, the Commission shall continually monitor and
oversee the application of the adjustment clauses. The Commission
shall hold a public hearing thereon whenever it deems it necessary,
but no less frequently than once every twelve (12) months. The
Commission shall undertake such other investigation thereof as is
necessary to determine whether:
1. Charges or credits made under the adjustment clauses are
based upon the actual prices paid for purchased power, are properly
computed in accordance with the applicable adjustment clause, and
that portion representing fuel adjustment charges made by an
electric generation cooperative are fair, equitable and properly
computed; or
2. Whether the purchased power adjustment clause should be
amended, suspended or discontinued.
If the Commission finds that the charges or credits are not based
upon the actual prices paid for purchased power, or are not properly
computed in accordance with the applicable adjustment clause, it
shall recompute the charges or credits. Appropriate adjustments
shall then be ordered by the Commission in the amount used in
calculating the power adjustment charge for one (1) or more
succeeding months under the purchased power adjustment clause by the
electric distribution cooperative making the error. The purchased
power adjustment clause may be amended upon a finding of changed
circumstances by the Commission, but shall not be wholly
discontinued or suspended except by order of the Commission after
due notice and hearings for the cooperatives affected have been
rendered.
