Update: On July 31, 2015, the Environmental Law and Policy Center (ELPC) filed an application for rehearing asserting that the Commission’s previous order was unlawful and unreasonable because the Commission found that utility interruptible program costs are costs of compliance with peak demand reduction (PDR) requirements. On August 26, 2015, the Commission issued an Entry on Rehearing denying ELPC’s application, noting that it “acknowledge[s] that the interruptible programs have benefits related to economic development. However, consistent with our previous decisions, we continue to find that the primary benefit of the interruptible programs is the reduction in peak demand.”
