Iowa Admin. Code r. 199-15.6

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 8, October 30, 2024

Rule 199-15.6 - Rates for sales to qualifying facilities and AEP facilities by rate-regulated utilities

For purposes of this rule, "utility" means a rate-regulated electric utility. Rates for sales to qualifying facilities and AEP facilities shall be just, reasonable and in the public interest, and shall not discriminate against qualifying facilities and AEP facilities in comparison to rates for sales to other customers with similar load or other cost-related characteristics served by the utility. The rate for sales of backup or maintenance power shall not be based upon an assumption (unless supported by data) that forced outages or other reductions in electric output by all qualifying facilities and AEP facilities will occur simultaneously or during the system peak, or both, and shall take into account the extent to which scheduled outages of qualifying facilities and AEP facilities can be usefully coordinated with scheduled outages of the utility's facilities.
