| Further Revisions to Peevey Alternate |
In early December 2008, Edison delivered its wishlist of approximately 20 additional changes it wished to see in the Peevey Alternate Decision. In late January 2009, a Revised Peevey Alternate appeared. It grants the vast majority of the changes sought by Edison, with approximately $52 million of increased expenses and over $100 million of increased capital expense. These changes would cause rates to be approximately $72 million higher each year. |
