NAC704.6675. Considerations for determination of rates for classes of customers.

In determining a utility’s requirements to obtain revenue from each class of customers being supplied with natural gas and in designing the rates for that service, the Commission will consider:

     1. The cost of service to each class of customers;

     2. The value of the utility’s service to each class of customers and to each individual customer;

     3. The ratio of the average demand for service by an individual customer or a class of customers to the peak demand for that service during a particular period;

     4. The need for continuity in the rates;

     5. The supply of natural gas;

     6. The need for understandable rates;

     7. The effects of any alternatives for obtaining revenue from each class of customers and designing rates on:

     (a) Conservation;

     (b) Efficiency;

     (c) Equity;

     (d) The operating margin;

     (e) The stability of revenues; and

     (f) The ratio of the average demand on a utility’s system to the peak demand on the system during a particular period.
