Related Categories: Electric, Pepco, Standard Offer Service

Pepco is requesting clarification on recovery of costs related to the administration of the CREF program and how it can assess CREF subscribers.

From Motion: 

[ *** ] 1. The Commission Should Clarify the Recovery of Costs Related to the Administration of the CREF Program. 

Pepco requests clarification on the method by which it can recover certain CREF-related expenses and the proceedings in which it can do so. [ *** ] Pepco respectfully requests additional clarity on how the Commission delineates costs that are appropriate for inclusion in the SOS Administrative Charge from costs that are required to be assessed to Subscribers under D.C. Code § 34-1522, so that the Company can properly allocate its CREF-related costs going forward.[ *** ] 

  1. The Commission Should Clarify How Pepco Can Assess CREF Subscribers.  

The Company is incurring significant ongoing costs to support the CREF program and, according to the statute and the Commission’s decisions cited in this filing, some CREF-related costs must be assessed to CREF Subscribers. Pepco respectfully requests that the Commission clarify how Pepco will assess Subscribers for the CREF-related expenses required by the law. Pepco asks for this guidance because it will be more efficient to determine the method up-front rather than litigate it in a base rate case. In the alternative, Pepco would request that the Commission initiate and have Staff chair a limited working group to discuss and prepare a report on this issue for the Commission’s consideration.
