PSC 116 administrative rules establish a process by which the rates for the state's large investor-owned electric utilities may be changed to reflect changes in the cost of fuel. The rule does not allow a utility to increase rates without prior hearing or use an "automatic adjustment clause” prohibited under s. 196.20 (4) (b), Stats.

PSC 116 establishes items included in the definition of fuel costs monitored by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW), monthly reporting requirements and the criteria necessary to file a proposed fuel cost plan as part of an application for a general rate case proceeding or a proceeding limited in scope to fuel cost. PSC 116 also establishes a deferred account balance calculation. It does not set the "Monitoring Levels" but does reference such levels in the rules and items included in the definition of fuel.

The process outlined in the PSC 116 requires a utility to submit to the PSCW a fuel cost plan annually that forecasts, for a one-year period, the cost of specified fuel items. These fuel cost items include estimates for the cost of materials that are converted to electrical energy, as well as items and programs that offset the cost of, or provide less expensive alternatives to, those materials. The Commission reviews each utility's fuel cost plan and, after a hearing, establishes rates that reflect the approved fuel cost estimates.

During the course of the year to which the plan applies, the rule requires a utility to apply deferral accounting treatment to the actual costs incurred for fuel cost items. The PSCW then reconciles the difference between the forecasted and the actual, reasonable and prudently incurred fuel cost on an annual basis. After a hearing, the Commission approves a reasonable adjustment to prospective rates to implement this reconciliation. If extraordinary circumstances during the plan year cause the projected average annual fuel cost to differ materially from the forecast of the average annual fuel cost used in an approved fuel cost plan, and the projected absolute value, at current rates, of the difference between these amounts at the end of the plan year likely will be of sufficient magnitude to cause a material change to rates, the Commission may adjust rates during the plan year to avoid a reconciliation that causes a material change in rates. However, while the rule imposes no limit to the number of mid-year rate decreases the Commission may order, no utility may obtain a mid-year increase in rates more than once during a plan year.
