Berwick Electric Commission filed its updated 2026 flow-through rate schedule (Schedule A) with the NSEB, effective August 1, 2026
AI summary
- Berwick Electric Commission submitted Schedule A setting out revised rates for all customer classes—Domestic, Small General, General, Industrial, and various lighting categories—effective August 1, 2026 (M12969, Exhibit B-3).
- The flow-through mechanism allows Rate Design adjustments to recover changes in purchased power costs, including Demand Side Management charges, using a formulaic approach (A/B=C) without a public hearing, subject to Board review for reasonableness and prudency.
- A separate Fuel Adjustment Mechanism (FAM) provision permits pass-through of NSPI-approved FAM adjustments to all BEC customer classes on a cents/kWh basis, with the FAM amount shown explicitly on customer bills.
- The schedule includes optional time-of-use and demand co-incidence rates designed to shift load away from winter peak periods, including an Off-Peak Charging Rate for customers with minimum 500 kWh energy storage and a General Demand Peak Co-incidence Rate offering demand reduction credits calculated as kW reduction × ($6.82 × 0.85) × 12.
- A consumer protection provision requires the Board to consider assistance measures if the flow-through formula produces a rate increase exceeding 10% for any customer class in the absence of a General Rate Application.
