Section R14-2-1808. Tariff

A.      Within 60 days of the effective date of these rules, each Affected Utility shall file with the Commission a Tariff in sub- stantially the same form as the Sample Tariff set forth in these rules that proposes methods for recovering the reasonable and prudent costs of  complying  with  these rules.  The specific amounts in the Sample Tariff are for illustrative purposes only and Affected Utilities may submit, with proper support, Tariff filings with alternative surcharge amounts.

B.       The Affected Utility’s Tariff filing shall provide the following information:

1.        Financial information and supporting data sufficient to allow the Commission to determine the Affected Utility’s fair value for purposes of evaluating the Affected Util- ity’s proposed Tariff. Information submitted in the format of the Annual Report required under R14-2-212(G)(4) will be the minimum information necessary for filing a Tariff application but Commission Staff may request additional information depending upon the type of Tariff filing that is submitted;

2.        A discussion of the suitability of the Sample Tariff set forth in Appendix A for recovering the Affected Utility’s reasonable and prudent costs of complying with these rules;

3.        Data to support the level of costs that the Affected Utility contends will be incurred in order to comply with these rules;

4.        Data to demonstrate that the Affected Utility’s proposed Tariff is designed to recover only the costs in excess of the Market Cost of Comparable Conventional Genera- tion; and

5.        Any other information that the Commission believes will be relevant to the Commission’s consideration of the Tar- iff filing.

C.      The Commission will approve, modify, or deny a Tariff pro- posed pursuant to subsection (A) within 180 days after the Tar- iff has been filed. The Commission may suspend this deadline or adopt an alternative procedural schedule for good cause. The Affected Utility’s Annual Renewable Energy Require- ment, as set forth in R14-2-1804(B), and Distributed Renew- able Energy Requirement, as set forth in R14-2-1805(B), will be effective upon Commission approval of the Tariff filed pur- suant to this Section.

D.      If an Affected Utility has an adjustor mechanism for the recov- ery of costs related to Annual Renewable Energy Require- ments, the Affected Utility  may file a request to reset its adjustor mechanism in lieu of a Tariff pursuant to subsection (A). The Affected Utility’s filing shall provide all the informa-
