The Board commenced an initiative to review its policies relating to Service Area Amendments, and Rate-Making after Consolidation.
The Board’s decision to initiate this review and evaluation of its policies reflects its own expectations, as well as those of the government, that the distribution sector should continue to seek out efficiencies. This initiative assessed whether and how the Board’s policies may affect the ability of distributors to realize operational or organizational efficiencies, and whether and how changes to those policies might better support efficiency gains by distributors through economies of scope, economies of scale or consolidation.
