Iowa Admin. Code r. 199-35.11 - Prudence review
(1)
The board shall periodically conduct a contested case proceeding to evaluate
the reasonableness and prudence of the utility's implementation of energy
efficiency and demand response plans and budgets. The prudence review shall be
based upon the information filed by a utility in the annual report required by
rule 199-35.8 (476), or based on
discovery conducted in review of the annual reports.
(2) The consumer advocate or another person
may request the board to conduct a prudence review based upon the information
filed by a utility in the annual report required by rule
199-35.8 (476), or based on
discovery conducted in review of the annual reports. The request to initiate
the prudence review shall identify specific issues to be evaluated and may
include a proposed procedural schedule.
(3) The board shall determine whether a
contested case proceeding is necessary to address the issues raised in a
request for a prudence review.
(4)
Disallowance of past costs. If the board finds the utility did not take all
reasonable and prudent actions to cost-effectively implement its energy
efficiency or demand response programs, the board shall determine the amount in
excess of those costs that would have been incurred under reasonable and
prudent implementation. That amount shall be deducted from the next EECR/DRCR
factors calculated pursuant to subrule 35.9(3) until the disallowed costs have
been satisfied.
