2023-21


4/28/2023

11/01/2023 The purpose of this filing is to submit the tariff revisions that are necessary to effectuate the transfer related to 2022 plant. As stated in the cover letter submitted with the above compliance filing, PSE is submitting this filing by April 28, 2023 which is during the first half of the four month review period. Also discussed in the MYRP Annual Report, PSE has requested to include the variance that exists for natural gas plant in 2022 in its review of 2023 plant in next year’s MYRP Annual Report that reviews 2023 plant. Further, because natural gas exceeded the $2.2 million threshold by $0.8 million, the total variance of $3.0 million prior to the threshold remains subject to refund. As such, PSE is not requesting to transfer $3.0 million of the 2022 rates that are currently subject to refund as, under PSE’s proposal, final determination of whether such amount is no longer subject to refund will be made in next year’s filing. This filing will have no impact on overall customer rates as they merely serve to transfer the rates from one tariff schedule to another.
