Austin Energy 2022 Base Rate Review: Documents and Notices
Austin Energy is going through a base rate review, which works to ensure that customer charges for electricity accurately recover costs and reflect the community's priorities.
Austin Energy recently completed a financial analysis for Fiscal Year 2021 and is now proposing to raise base electric rates as a result.
The base rate review is a public, transparent process that includes:
-
An Impartial Hearing Examiner (IHE) designated by Austin City Council to review information from the electric utility, community stakeholders and customer groups Participating in the formal process.
-
An Independent Consumer Advocate with specialized knowledge and expertise in utility rates to represent the interests of residential and small business customers.
-
Updated base rates set by Austin City Council. Approved changes would affect electric bills starting in 2023.
The Impartial Hearing Examiner will assist the Austin City Council in establishing fair and balanced base rates through the impartial review of Austin Energy's recommendations and through the deliberate consideration of the perspectives and opinions of the utility's customers.
Specifically, the Impartial Hearing Examiner will:
-
Examine all issues and make a recommendation on Austin Energy's base rate proposal.
-
Conduct open and fair proceedings.
-
Make recommendations to Council.
