38.5.1202 "STANDBY CHARGES" NOT ALLOWED
(1) The Commission, in view of both the state energy conservation policy and the lack of cost impact data in this area, will not approve any "standby charges" at this time. Utilities shall supply "standby service" at presently authorized rates for all classes of customers. A hearing will be held under the Commission rules governing contested case proceedings prior to any Commission action on a request for standby charges.
