APS Customers Likely to See Bills DecreaseBy Ryan Randazzo/az.central.com
APS went to state regulators in June asking for a 6.6 percent rate increase, but pressure from consumer groups and low natural-gas prices helped seal a deal more favorable to ratepayers. The state's largest utility and 20 large customers, consumer groups and other stakeholders have signed an agreement, which must be voted on by the Arizona Corporation Commission, that would hold rates steady for at least a year. During negotiations, APS agreed to major changes to its rate request in the face of criticism from groups such as AARP. In return, APS would receive one of its key goals: financial incentives for the company to promote energy efficiency. Another key ingredient in the settlement is that natural-gas prices are at their lowest levels in a decade and were low for all of 2011, according to a report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. A portion of utility bills is tied to natural-gas prices and is adjusted annually to reflect market prices. "We are benefiting from (natural-gas power plant) fuel prices coming down," said Jeff Guldner, APS vice president of regulation. "This is happening all around the country." If the commission approves the deal, residential customers will see an immediate decrease of about 1 percent in their average monthly bill. In addition, APS cannot request another rate hike until 2015, and it cannot take effect until 2016. But customers won't get away untouched. Several components of their bills will increase starting next year, but not in the one large increase that APS had requested. The agreement calls for several billing tweaks during the next four years, including: Extending a credit that averages about $5 a month for residential customers for another year, when it will reset. The credit compensates for money APS overcollected for natural gas in the past year, but it likely will turn to a charge with the reset. The reset likely will result in a 2.5 percent bill increase next year, depending on natural-gas prices between now and 2013. Potentially asking customers to help pay for coal generators. The settlement would allow APS to proceed with a separate request to buy a larger stake in two generators at the Four Corners Power Plant and shut three of its old, heavily polluting generators there. If approved, the purchase could mean a 3 percent rate hike on customers in 2013. Granting authority to APS to raise bills a maximum 1 percent a year starting in 2013 to compensate for energy sales it loses by promoting energy efficiency and rooftop solar panels. Costs of efficiency Utilities typically increase profits by selling more electricity. But now, regulators are asking utilities to be promote efficiency, which means they burn less fuel and generate less pollution. The most contentious part of the APS rate request was its proposal to "decouple" its rates. Decoupling is an industry term for a fee utilities can charge to pay for their fixed costs, such as power lines and transformers, that they must maintain even as they sell less electricity to customers when they subsidize efficient air-conditioners and attic insulation or duct sealing. Utilities seek to decouple their revenues from the volume of electricity they sell so that they can remain profitable without increasing the kilowatt-hours they sell. The Corporation Commission is requiring utilities to reduce their energy sales by 22 percent in 2020 through increased efficiency, which would be devastating to APS finances without a change in rates, Guldner said. APS originally asked regulators to approve a fee that would help make up for the revenue it loses when it helps customers save energy by helping them buy more efficient appliances. But AARP and the Residential Utility Consumers Office, a state department created by the Legislature to represent the public at utility-rate hearings, protested decoupling. They argued that APS would insulate itself from the business risks of mild weather or blackouts that reduce the volume of electricity it sold because the company could raise its prices to make up for those losses in the name of energy efficiency. "There was an immense amount of pushback from consumer groups," Guldner said. Corporation commissioners approved a decoupling provision for Southwest Gas in December that could mean an additional $1.50 a month on residential bills, but that vote was split 3-2 among the elected officials. APS, which was negotiating with its stakeholders at that point, backed off its decoupling proposal in favor of a fee. The fee, called the "lost fixed-cost recovery" mechanism, would be a strict calculation of how much electricity APS is helping customers save when it gives them rebates for things like more efficient pool pumps or duct sealing. When APS funds those programs, it saves the cost of building more power plants, but it still must pay to maintain the power lines, transformers and other equipment to get electricity to customers. The fee would ensure that APS is covering those expenses even as it encourages customers to save power or to generate their own power with rooftop solar panels. The fee is capped at 1 percent a year and would not be charged until April 2013. APS estimates the initial fee would be about a 0.2 percent increase in 2013, based on energy-use and efficiency projections. A 1 percent cap on the increases would mean it could not be more than about $1.30 a month on the average residential customer. Some holdouts Environmental groups such as the Natural Resources Defense Council wanted full decoupling and have not agreed on the settlement. The council filed testimony in the rate case in November stating that, without decoupling, energy-conservation measures by APS "create significant disincentives for the utility with serious adverse financial impacts." The Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, or SWEEP, did not sign the settlement because decoupling was not included as an option, but its Arizona representative, Jeff Schlegel, said the fee proposed in the settlement is better than nothing. "Energy efficiency is the best and least-cost resource for Arizona, and this settlement didn't go far enough in terms of supporting it," Schlegel said. "We thought it was important for the commission to also consider decoupling." Both groups can continue to present their issues to the regulators, but their consent isn't required for the deal to be approved. But consumer groups are happy with the deal, including some of the most ardent critics of decoupling, such as AARP. "This is not the full decoupling that Southwest Gas got," said Stephen Jennings, an AARP associate state director. "This one is much more narrow and much more directly tied to energy-efficiency efforts. (They can't just raise rates) for any reason they lose money." He said that AARP did not get everything its leaders wanted from the negotiations but that he is happy with the outcome. "These settlements are compromises," he said. "Nobody gets everything they wanted. We are going to let our membership know that any rate increases that occur because of this are less than they would have been if we had not been involved." APS would be allowed to charge only for the fixed costs that it lost because of energy-efficiency programs that are approved by regulators, which means APS would have to track those programs and their savings closely. "Now, (tracking those savings) becomes a very big issue," Guldner said. The proposal also would allow APS to charge for the fixed costs of serving customers who generate much of their own electricity with rooftop solar panels. APS still must serve those solar customers with power lines and other equipment to get electricity to them at night, but it earns less of its fixed costs from them because they buy fewer kilowatt-hours of electricity. "Some of that is good," Guldner said of customers using solar. "If we didn't have customers putting solar on their roofs, we'd be out building natural-gas plants and charging all of our customers for those (power plants) and the natural gas." azcentral.com 1/12/12 |
If utility regulators approve, Arizona Public Service Co. customers could see a 1 percent drop in their average bill this year and no base-rate increases until 2016.
