Grangeville Electric Rate Case Denied by Idaho Utility Board
Idaho Public Utilities Commission rejects Grangeville Electric Light and Power Co's proposed rate schedule as excessive. The ruling lowers the company’s valuation to 480.38 for rate base and caps returns while cutting construction costs, notably reducing the Clear Water dam valuation by 115 304.05. The decision notes wartime price context and emphasizes prudent investment, with future development as a factor for potential returns.
