Grantsville Rate Increase Requested Delayed Once More because of Missing Information

In a report received yesterday from the PSC, sent to all parties concerned with the recent appeal against the Town of Grantsville’s rate increase request, the WV Public Service Commission stated that the current hold on consideration was continued until May 1, 2024. This was done to allow the Town of Grantsville to make any objections that it may have to the initial staff memorandum filled April 24th, 2024.

The Procedural Order stated that the Commission suspend a rate ordinance passed by the Town of Grantsville and tolled the statutory deadline. The commission also tolled the statutory deadline related to the wholesale appeals filed by Mount Zion Public service District and Pleasant Hill Public service district. The commission concluded that Grantsville did not provide the necessary financial and engineering information necessary for the commission to establish rates.

On April 12, 2024 Grantsville was ordered to file the necessary documents to enable the Commission to make a meaningful review of its ordinance as soon as possible. By April 24th, 2024 the PSC staff concluded that Grantsville had not yet provided sufficient information to restart the statutory clock. Staff listed certain financial and engineering documentation it believed was necessary to start the statutory clock.

Once the items missing are addressed and received the Commission will advise all parties of the case being placed on the docket for further proceedings.
