I have been involved with utilities and regulatory work for almost 40 years. During that time I have seldom seen an administrative law judge understand and articulate the issues at hand with the clarity and knowledge Judge Teena Jibilian did recently.
A few days ago Judge Jibilian filed her Recommended Order on whether APS should be granted its request to immediately raise the solar charge from $5 to $21.
Her recommendation to the Arizona Corporation Commission was that the APS request should be denied. In addition, she said any changes to the solar charge and any other rate design issues should be done in the next APS rate case.
