FERC opens rate fairness investigation
On January 30, 2026, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission started an investigation under section 206 to decide whether DCR Transmission, L.L.C.'s Transmission Owner Tariff and annual Base Transmission Revenue Requirement are unjust, unreasonable, or unlawful. If the Commission finds the rates unlawful, it could change how much customers pay for transmission service.
Refunds effective back to June 12, 2024
The Commission set the refund effective date at June 12, 2024. That means if FERC orders refunds in this docket, those refunds may apply to charges collected on or after June 12, 2024.
