Notice of Depreciation Filing
The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that on June 21, 2024, Matanuska Electric Association (MEA) filed a petition to approve the depreciation rates, in compliance with Order No. U-18-54(2). Docket No. U-24-017 was opened to address this matter.
MEA proposes an annual decrease of $570,141 to its depreciation expenses, from $26,219,284 to $25,649,143. MEA is requesting the revised depreciation rates be effective January 1, 2025. Changes in depreciation expense may lead to changes in the utility rates paid by consumers. No change in consumer rates is proposed by this filing. However, if approved, MEA states that it plans to incorporate the impact of the revised depreciation rates into its Simplified Rate Filing process which files with the Commission.
