Base-rate reviews and adjustment mechanisms in Virginia
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
Between full reviews
Rate adjustment clauses
Project- and rider-specific
Virginia law permits separate rate adjustment clauses for approved generation, grid, environmental, and other investments. These riders operate independently from base rates and are reviewed in their own proceedings.
Governing source ↗Fuel factor
Separate periodic filing
The fuel factor passes prudently incurred fuel and purchased-power costs through a separate SCC proceeding instead of waiting for the next base-rate review.
