Title: (PURPA grants to state utility regulatory commissions and electric utilities). Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6494377

The Utah Commission considered fully in hearings each of the eleven regulatory and ratemaking standards. In addition, the Commission held hearings concerning the lifeline rates provision of PURPA and the cogeneration and small power production provision. The Utah Commission has taken action with respect to each of these standards. In its Order concerning cases numbered 80-999-09 and 81-999-01, 02, 03, 04, and 05, issued May 14, 1982, and appended to this report, the Utah Commission adopted each of the ratemaking standards. Its actions concerning adoption of the regulatory standards have been the subject of hearings and orders issued during the period of time prior to the issuance of the May 14, 1982 Order. After full hearing on the subject, the Utah Commission declined to adopt lifeline rates. In an Order issued April 9, 1981, the Commission implemented the FERC regulations issued pursuant to PURPA Sections 201 and 210. Contained in that Order were interim rates based upon the avoided costs of the electric utilities under this Commission's jurisdiction that are subject to PURPA.
