Oklahoma Base Rate Case Filing

Docket Number

 PUD 201000050

Overview

As required by the Capital Investment Rider case completed in 2009, on July 9, 2010 Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) filed a request with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) to increase base rates.  PSO is requesting an $82.7 million increase in base rates or an approximate 16.99 percent increase in non-fuel base revenues based on a historic test year ended February 28, 2010. 

This includes approximately $30 million in revenues currently being collected under the capital investment rider, so the proposed net increase to retail customers is $52.4 million (4.97 percent).

Existing rates were established by OCC order in case No. PUD 200800144 issued in January, 2009 based upon a test year ended February 29, 2008 with an ROE of 10.5%.

PSO has requested that any change in rates take place in June, 2011.
