Utility Price Curbs Relax for Most Regulated Firms
Washington reports the Price Commission issued new rules letting most publicly regulated utilities and industries raise rates without initial approval starting Jan 17. Prenotification is required only from firms grossing $100 million or more, narrowing the prior $30 million threshold. utilities under $100 million lose direct controls but must keep records. The changes apply to railroads, airlines, transit, trucking and gas and electric utilities. all increases must reflect higher costs and aim to maintain service, capital attraction, and credit. Unregulated utilities must notify only when price hikes raise annual revenues by over 2.5 percent.
