Nagelhout, M

The 11th annual electric rate case survey is presented, covering electric rate orders issued between April 1, 1992, and March 31, 1993. The survey tabulates rates of return on common equity (ROE) approved by state public utility commissions in major electric rate orders, but also includes some cases in which rate of return was not directly at issue, or where a rate adjustment resulted from a settlement agreement. The figures published in a table were obtained primarily from rate analysts at state commissions and the major investor-owned electric utilities. Respondents were asked to (1) identify only cases in which cost of equity was at issue; (2) list figures only for electric service, in case of a combined utility; (3) indicate whether a rate-of-return award was subject to an adjustment for management efficiency; and (4) list final figures for rate increases requested and granted. The footnotes explain variations from the basic survey criteria and provide additional detail. Appelate court orders that modify the decisions adopted by the state commissions are not listed.
