Section PSC 113.1007 - Refunds(1) INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMERS. (a)Procedure. The utility shall make refunds to a customer who made a contribution for an extension (a contributed extension) when the utility makes an extension from the contributed extension to a second customer which does not require a contribution from the second customer (a noncontributed extension). The refund shall be equal to the greater of the embedded cost allowance in effect at the time the contributed extension was installed or the current embedded cost allowance. This refund, in either case, shall be reduced by the costs incurred by the utility to design and install the distribution facilities for the second customer. The utility shall not refund more than the total contribution made by any customer. The utility shall make the refund to the customer who made the original contribution or the current property owner of record unless it has a written record from that customer assigning the refund rights to another customer.(b)Period. The utility shall make refunds for the first 5 years after the installation of a contributed extension.(2) SUBDIVISIONS. (a)Procedure. As structures are built and connected to the electric utility facilities, the utility shall refund to the developer or subdivider an amount equal to the greater of the embedded cost allowance in effect at the time the contributed extension was installed or the current embedded cost allowance for each customer. This refund shall be reduced by the cost of any additional distribution facilities, if necessary, to serve the new customer. (b)Period. The utility shall make refunds for structures which are built and connected to the utility system within 5 years from the installation of the contributed extension.(3) EXTENDED REFUND PERIOD. A 5-year refund period is required for extensions made after July 1, 1982, if the extension rules in effect at that time provided for a refund and a refund period of less than 5 years.Wis. Admin.
