Iowa Admin. Code r. 199-35.10 - Modification of an approved plan
(1)
An approved energy efficiency plan or an approved demand response plan and
associated budget may be modified if the modification is approved by the
commission.
a. Electric utilities may request
a modification to an approved energy efficiency plan due to changes in the
funding as a result of customers requesting exemptions from the electric energy
efficiency plan.
b. Natural gas and
electric utilities may request modification of an approved energy efficiency
plan, or electric utilities may request modification of an approved demand
response plan, for any reason.
c.
The commission, on its own motion, may consider modification of the energy
efficiency or demand response plan and budget.
(2) All applications to modify shall be filed
in the same docket in which the energy efficiency or demand response plan was
approved. All parties to the docket in which the energy efficiency or demand
response plan was approved shall be served copies of the application to modify
and shall have 14 days to file an objection or agreement. Objections should be
specifically related to the contents of the modification. Failure to file
timely objection shall be deemed agreement.
(3) Each application to modify an approved
energy efficiency or demand response plan shall include:
a. A statement of the proposed modification
and the party's interest in the modification.
b. An analysis supporting the requested
modification.
c. An estimated
implementation schedule for the modification.
d. A statement of the effect of the
modification on attainment of the utility's performance standards and on
projected results, including cost-effectiveness, of the utility's
implementation of its plan.
(4) If the commission finds that any
reasonable grounds exist to investigate the proposed modification, a procedural
schedule shall be set and the commission shall take action within 90 days after
the modification request is filed.
(5) If an application to modify is filed and
the commission finds that there is no reason to investigate, then the
commission shall issue an order within 90 days after the modification request
is filed stating the reasons for the commission's decision relating to the
application.
(6) If the commission
rejects or modifies a utility's plan, the commission may require the utility to
file a modified plan and may specify the minimum acceptable contents of the
modified plan.
