Notice of Utility Tariff Filing

The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that Goat Lake Hydro, Inc. (GLH) filed TA6-521, a revenue requirement study based on a 2019 test year. With TA6-521, GLH proposes a 29.87 percent increase to its energy rate from $0.08666 to $0.1125 per kWh on a permanent rate. GLH is not requesting an interim rate change.

GLH currently calculates its energy rates using a Rate Stabilization Methodology (RSM), which defers costs to future ratepayers. With TA6-521, GLH proposes to phase out the RSM and calculate the rate using the traditional ratemaking methodology.

This notice may not contain all requested revisions and the Commission may approve a rate or classification which varies from that proposed.

Leatherleaf Loop, Suite 201, Wasilla, AK 99654; phone: (907) 864-3211.
