SoCal charges unlawful abuse by PUC over refunds
Southern California Gas Co accuses the California Public Utilities Commission of unlawful abuse of regulatory authority in a petition for rehearing of a PUC decision that ordered a 4.4 million refund to customers. The petition argues the PUC seeks to lower the gas company’s rate of return by denying tax credit pass through for 39 years and contends Congress intended utilities to receive capital via such credits. If rehearing is denied, the company may seek a stay or appeal to the California Supreme Court.
