369-B:3-a Divestiture of PSNH Generation Assets; Review of 2015 Settlement Proposal.
Status: repealed

I. The general court finds that divestiture of PSNH's generation plants and securitization of any resulting stranded costs pursuant to RSA 369-B:3, IV(c) is in the public interest, subject to the provisions of paragraph III. II. As part of an expedited proceeding, the commission shall review the 2015 settlement proposal and determine whether its terms and conditions are in the public interest. Notwithstanding RSA 374-F:3, VI, the commission may incorporate rate designs that fairly allocate the costs of divestiture of PSNH's generation plants among customer classes. As part of its review of the 2015 settlement proposal, the commission shall take into account the impact on all PSNH customer classes, and shall consider the impacts on the economy in PSNH's service territory, the ability to attract and retain employment across industries, and whether the proposed rate design fairly allocates the costs of divestiture of PSNH's generation plants among customer classes. The commission may approve or reject the 2015 settlement proposal, or condition its approval on any modification of the terms and conditions that it determines to be necessary to meet the public interest standard, so long as any order to divest provides for recovery of stranded costs and such other costs of divestiture as may be approved by the commission. If the commission conditions its approval, the settling parties may amend or terminate the 2015 settlement proposal. III. Notwithstanding paragraphs I and II, if the commission rejects the 2015 settlement proposal or approves it with conditions that are not acceptable to the settling parties as provided in paragraph II, the commission, as part of the pending expedited proceeding in Docket DE 14-238, Determination Regarding PSNH's Generation Assets, shall order divestiture of all or some of PSNH's generation assets if the commission finds that it is in the economic interest of retail customers of PSNH to do so. If it orders divestiture, the commission shall determine the manner in which any assets should be divested; provide for the cost recovery of such divestiture, which cost recovery may include rate reduction bonds as provided in RSA 369-B:3, IV(c); and, notwithstanding RSA 374-F:3, VI, may incorporate rate designs that fairly allocate the costs of divestiture of some or all of PSNH's generation assets among customer classes. In considering rate designs, the commission shall consider the impacts on the economy in PSNH's service territory and the ability to attract and retain employment across industries. IV. Prior to any divestiture of its generation assets, PSNH may modify or retire such generation assets if the commission finds that it is in the economic interest of retail customers of PSNH to do so and provides for the cost recovery of such modification or retirement. V. [Repealed.]
