Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 12, March 22, 2024
a) The pre-tax return (PTR) is the return on the QIP. The pre-tax return shall be calculated using the weighted cost of debt and weighted cost of equity determined in the utility's last gas rate case proceeding. The weighted cost of equity shall be multiplied by the gross revenue conversion factor (GRCF). The product shall be added to the weighted cost of debt to obtain the pre-tax return.
b) The pre-tax return shall be calculated by using the following formulas:
|
PTR |
= |
((WCCE + WCPE) x GRCF) + WCLTD + WCSTD |
|
GRCF |

(1 - (PPTRIT+ SIT)) x (1 - FIT) |
