An Act To Amend Title 26 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Standard Used For Cost Recovery For Public Utilities In Proceedings Involving A Change In Rates. [HB-277]
This amendment specifies that the standard for assessing whether and to what extent any amount that a public utility seeks to include in its rate base or operating expenses for ratemaking purposes is the “prudent person” standard. This amendment supersedes the Delaware Supreme Court’s opinion in Delmarva Power & Light Company v. Public Service Commission and Application of Wilmington Suburban Water Company, in which the Court established the standard for allowance of all utility expenses for ratemaking purposes as “waste, bad faith or abuse of discretion.” (continued...)
