Bill > H6184

This bill precludes electric distribution companies from including their gas transmission contracts or the cost of facilities in the rate base for electricity customers. It requires electric distribution companies to file plans to transfer ownership of generation facilities to separate affiliates and to provide nondiscriminatory access to transmission and distribution services. The bill prohibits the Public Utilities Commission from approving ratepayer-backed, long-term contracts by electric distribution companies for gas capacity or any rate increases to finance the construction or expansion of natural gas pipelines or related facilities.
