Commission Rules On Apartment And Office Building Association’s Request For Clarification And Extension Of Time In Pepco’s Application To Implement A Multiyear Rate Plan For Electric Distribution Service
From Order:
By this Order, the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (“Commission”) grants, in part, the Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington’s (“AOBA”) Motion for Clarification and Extension of Time and amends the procedural schedule accordingly. [ *** ]
The Commission has broad authority in managing its docket. Generally, the Commission will grant a request of this nature if good cause is shown. The Commission did not intend to provide Parties one day to review and seek discovery on Pepco’s supplemental ROR filing. The supplemental filing was intended to be due on July 5, 2024, and Pepco made the supplemental ROR filing on July 5, 2024. The Commission believes AOBA has shown good cause for granting an extension but not as AOBA fully seeks. We have shortened the time AOBA seeks to conduct discovery by one (1) day or until July 15, 2024. Pepco’s responses will be due on July 19, 2024. We will require that the pre-hearing briefs be filed on July 24, 2024, and we will extend the time for parties to file post-hearing briefs by three weeks with a revised date of August 30, 2024. The Commission believes the schedule we adopt below is reasonable and will allow all Parties sufficient time to conduct and complete discovery, prepare pre-and post-hearing briefs, and prepare for the legislative-style hearing on July 30, 2024. Accordingly, the Commission finds good cause and grants AOBA’s Motion to extend the time in part, and adopts the following schedule:
July 5, 2024: Pepco Supplemental Information Due
July 15, 2024: Data Requests on Supplemental Information Due
July 19, 2024: Pepco Responses to Data Requests Due
July 24, 2024: Pre-Hearing Briefs Due
July 30, 2024: Legislative-Style Hearing
August 12, 2024: Conformed Testimony and Exhibits Due
August 21, 2024: Admission of Stipulated Testimony, Exhibits, Data Requests, and Data Responses
August 30, 2024: Post-Legislative Style Hearing Briefs Due
Order (07/10/2024)
