Virginia Department of Energy posts survey results and releases PBR assessment template; comments due April 11
Summary
The facilitator summarized a stakeholder survey that identified decarbonization and affordability as top priorities and introduced a structured PBR assessment template for written comments; the template and a call for submissions were timed to support a May report to the SCC.
The meeting began with the Virginia Department of Energy summarizing a stakeholder survey and the regulatory assessment submitted by 11 organizations (22 responses total). Decarbonization, energy efficiency, affordability, cost efficiency and peak demand reduction were identified among the top performance areas stakeholders want the PBR study to address.
The facilitator said the assessments and the survey results will be posted on the project website. To structure forward‑looking comments, consultants working with the SCC and the department (Current Energy Group and Great Plains Institute) introduced a PBR assessment template that asks respondents to evaluate up to three prospective PBR or alternative rate‑making tools, identify objectives, list interactions with existing mechanisms and propose KPI and verification approaches.
Consultant Dan Cross asked stakeholders to submit the completed template along with any written comments by April 11; the team said the final study will be delivered to the SCC on May 9 and that draft meeting review will occur April 22. The template is intended to standardize submissions so reviewers can compare design choices across mechanisms and to speed incorporation of stakeholder input into the final report.
Stakeholders asked clarifying questions about how the template would be used, whether it was required, and whether respondents could attach expanded material. Dan Cross and staff said the template was strongly preferred but that general comments would also be accepted; expanded explanations could accompany the template. The meeting closed with dates for upcoming sessions on April 10 and April 22 and a request that stakeholders identify additional experts to brief the group on technical topics.
