CPUC Reaffirms General Rate Case Process

The California Public Utilities Commission reaffirms that small local exchange carriers file general rate cases (GRC) by application, said a 5-0 decision released Tuesday in docket R.11-11-007. Filing them by advice letter isn’t permitted, it said. The CPUC proposed the decision Oct. 26, citing transparency for maintaining the existing process (see 2310260071).
