ELECTRIC UTILITY RATE DESIGN FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Section 69.3551 - Purpose and scope

Due to Federal and State policy initiatives to promote the proliferation of electric vehicles, as defined in 75 Pa.C.S. § 102 (relating to definitions), the Commission is encouraging development of rate structures for electric-vehicle charging customers. Electric-vehicle charging will increase demand on existing infrastructure, and it is imperative that electric distribution companies are prepared to address this increased demand with distribution and default service generation rate structures that properly signal to electric-vehicle charging customers to incentivize increased capacity utilization of the distribution system. The Commission's policy on electric-vehicle charging also encompasses fairness and equity principles that electric distribution companies are to consider in developing electric-vehicle charging rates.
