Public Service Commission
Regulation Docket No. 50: Public Notice of Proposed Adoption of “Electric Service Reliability and Quality Standards”
NO TICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND COMMENT PERIOD
Since 2003, the Public Service Commission (“the Commission”) has been developing Standards to measure and judge the reliability of the electrical services provided by electric distribution utilities such as Delmarva Power & Light Company and the Delaware Electric Cooperative, Inc. In PSC Order No. 6745 (Oct. 11, 2005), the Commission proposed and then published (9 DE Reg. 756 (Nov. 1, 2005)) final “Electric Service Reliability and Quality Standards.” In light of comments and objections filed in response to those earlier proposed Standards, the Commission now proposes to adopt a revised form of “Electric Service Reliability and Quality Standards.” These revised Standards would supersede the Standards proposed in 2005. As with the earlier proposal, the revised Standards set forth methods and benchmarks to be utilized to measure the reliability of services provided by electric distribution companies. The revised Standards also articulate principles and goals for reliability, describe responses to be made to outages and major events, and require the preparation of periodic performance reports and planning studies. The Standards also prescribe the available penalties for violations. Finally, the revised Standards direct electric generation facilities located within this State to participate in a “Generation Working Group” or file periodic reports concerning certain aspects of their operations.
You may review the text of the revised final Standards in the July, 2006 issue of the Delaware Register of Regulations. You may obtain written copies of the revised Standards at the Commission’s office at the address set forth below. The cost is $0.25 per page. You may also review an electronic copy of the revised Standards at the Commission’s website at www.state.de.us/delpsc (open PSC Order No. 6925). The Commission has the authority to adopt such regulations under 26 Del.C. §§209, 1002, 1008, and 1019.
Pursuant to 29 Del.C. §§1133, 10115, and 10118(c), the Commission now solicits comments, written suggestions, compilations of data, briefs, or other written materials concerning the revised final Standards. If you wish to submit such materials, you should file an original and ten copies at the following address:
Delaware Public Service Commission
861 Silver Lake Boulevard
Cannon Building
Suite 100
Dover, Delaware 19904
Attn: PSC Reg. Dckt. No. 50
You must file such materials on or before August 2, 2006.
In addition, pursuant to 26 Del.C. §209(a) and 29 Del.C. §10117, the Commission will conduct a public hearing on the revised Standards during its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, August 8, 2006. That meeting will begin at 1:00 PM in the Commission’s Hearing Room at the above address. You can submit oral presentations or written materials at such hearing.
If you have questions, or desire further information about the matter, you can contact the Commission at 1-800-282-8574 or (302) 739-4333 (including text telephone). You can also send questions by Internet e-mail to robert.howatt@state.de.us. If you are disabled and need assistance, please contact the Commission to arrange assistance.
