    Rate Case-to-Tariff

    Carry a request for new rates from the revenue requirement through filing, discovery and hearings to the order, tariffs billed from the effective date and commitments tracked after. Where Plan-to-Energize (VS-260) recovers one project's cost, this sets rates for the whole regulated business; public power and municipal utilities go before their governing board.
