Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
(a) Purpose and
					 Application. This section and the pro-forma access tariff set forth in
					 subsection (c) of this section establish and govern the non-discriminatory
					 terms and conditions of access by competitive retailers to the delivery system
					 of a municipally owned utility or electric cooperative that implements customer
					 choice after May 1, 2023. This section applies to a municipally owned utility
					 or electric cooperative that implements, or is preparing to implement, customer
					 choice after May 1, 2023. For purposes of this section, the date a municipally
					 owned utility or electric cooperative opens its territory to retail competition
					 is the date it implements customer choice. A municipally owned utility or
					 electric cooperative that implements customer choice after May 1, 2023 is not
					 required to comply with §
											25.215 of this title (relating to
					 Terms and Conditions of Access by a Competitive Retailer to the Delivery System
					 of a Municipally Owned Utility or Electric Cooperative that has Implemented
					 Customer Choice).
(b) A municipally
					 owned utility or electric cooperative that has implemented customer choice
					 after May 1, 2023 must provide retail delivery service, including delivery
					 service to a retail customer at transmission voltage, to retail customers.
					 Retail delivery service must be provided in accordance with the rates, terms,
					 and conditions set forth in the delivery service tariffs promulgated by the
					 municipally owned utility or electric cooperative.
(c) Access tariff. Not later than the 90th
					 day before the date a municipally owned utility or electric cooperative to
					 which this rule applies implements customer choice, the municipally owned
					 utility or electric cooperative must file with the commission its tariff
					 governing access by competitive retailers to retail customers connected to the
					 delivery system of the municipally owned utility or electric cooperative using
					 the pro-forma access tariff in subsection (d) of this section. A municipally
					 owned utility or an electric cooperative may add to or modify only Chapters 2
					 and 5 of the access tariff, reflecting individual characteristics and rates.
					 Chapters 1, 3, and 4 of the pro-forma access tariff must be used exactly as
					 written; these Chapters can be changed only through the rulemaking process. The
					 access tariff, however, must contain the name of the municipally owned utility
					 or electric cooperative in lieu of "[Utility]".
(d) Pro-Forma Retail Access Tariff. Tariff
					 for Retail Access.
