What staff's practice has been historically is when we have a situation where the utility, and not just this utility, but any utility, podcast-host

has plant investments that have been made since the last rate case, but they're unable to provide us with the documentation. podcast-host

When the engineers go out to do a site visit, they verify that the plant is there and is in service. podcast-host

So what we recommend is a 10% adjustment for unsupported plant and consider that as a contribution. podcast-host

So it's not disallowing the entire amount of the investment, just a 10%. podcast-host

And it's a bit of a slap on the hand and a message to the utility that they need to keep better records for the next rate case as much as anything else. podcast-host

show up in a future rate case? podcast-host

Commissioner Thompson, I haven't seen it. podcast-host

I think generally if they don't have it, it's not going to miraculously appear. podcast-host

This is another one of the systems that they acquired from Robeson, and I think the records simply do not exist or were lost in the transfer. podcast-host

That being said, though, I don't believe there's anything just like your vote today doesn't bind a future commission. podcast-host

If by chance the next rate case they filed, they were able to find a box that had these receipts. podcast-host

I think the commission at that time could reevaluate whether it's appropriate to treat it as a contribution or just a plant investment. podcast-host

Okay. podcast-host

Vice Chair podcast-host

Mr. Chair, Vice Chair, Commissioners, Britt and Baxter again for staff. podcast-host

As Judge Martin indicated, staff joined in the company's exceptions, pointing out a few issues that we were seeking clarification on and that we thought could potentially be modified, specifically the CPI. podcast-host

Staff appreciates the work of all the parties, including Judge Martin on this case. podcast-host

It was a little bit complicated in terms of timing relative to, as Judge Martin indicated, originally the settlement agreement contemplated a phase two to address the formula rate issue. podcast-host

So it was accelerated when it was addressed through the hearing. podcast-host
