State rules
This docket is a full base-rate review. Selected charges can change on separate schedules without reopening every issue in this case.
Full base-rate review
Case-specific; program deadlines can apply
New Jersey does not use one recurring base-case interval for every utility. Board-approved infrastructure programs can require the participating utility to file its next base-rate case within five years or sooner.
Rate period: Normally established in the utility's base-rate filing; infrastructure-program recoveries remain provisional until prudence is reviewed in the next base case.
Governing rule ↗Between full reviews
Infrastructure Investment Program
Annual or semiannual recovery
A Board-approved IIP permits accelerated recovery for qualifying in-service infrastructure through a separate tariff clause. Rates are provisional and the utility must return for a base case no later than five years after program approval.
Governing source ↗Major-event storm cost deferral
Event-driven · reviewed in a later case
A utility may defer qualifying incremental major-storm costs for later prudence and recovery review. Ordinary storm expense can remain covered by a base-rate allowance.
