Colorado Natural Gas Rate Request Filed by PSCo

Details

The increase is based on a 2023 test year, a 10.25% ROE, an equity ratio of 55%, and a $4.2 billion retail rate base including projected capital additions through December 31, 2023. PSCo proposed a Nov. 1, 2024, effective date but suggested deferring collection until Feb. 15, 2025, to mitigate customer bill impacts. Staff and the Utility Consumer Advocate opposed the deferral, recommending Nov. 1, 2024, as the effective date. Key procedural steps include rebuttal testimony on Aug. 15, 2024, and a CPUC decision expected in Q4 2024.
