特拉华州：州长支持审查 Delmarva Power 利润模式 保护电费缴纳者
特拉华州州长 Matt Meyer 10月21日在 Dover 宣布，州公共辩护人办公室（Division of the Public Advocate）已向州公共服务委员会（PSC）提交请愿，要求调查公用事业公司的股本回报率（ROE，即利润），并探讨改革利润确定方式。
州长办公室介绍，ROE 是委员会批准公用事业公司在其资本投资的股本部分上获得的回报率，是电价的重要推手，占普通用户电费的10%以上。像 Delmarva Power 这类受监管的公用事业公司目前获准的股本回报率接近10%。今年6月，Meyer 已要求公共辩护人提出请愿，并请委员会在六个月内采取行动重置利润模式。
此次请愿要求委员会审查现行 ROE，并考虑采用包括竞争机制在内的替代办法来确定公用事业回报。
Delaware: Governor Backs Petition to Review Delmarva Power's Profit Model to Protect Ratepayers
Delaware Governor Matt Meyer announced in Dover on October 21 that the Division of the Public Advocate has filed a petition with the Delaware Public Service Commission (PSC) asking it to investigate utility return on equity (ROE) and explore reforms to how utility profits are determined.
According to the Governor's Office, ROE is the return a utility is authorized to earn on the equity portion of its capital investments, and it is a significant driver of utility rates, accounting for more than 10% of a typical customer's electric bill. Regulated utilities such as Delmarva Power currently receive a set return on equity of almost 10%. In June, Meyer called on the Public Advocate to file a petition asking the PSC to act within six months to reset the utility profit model.
The petition filed October 21 supports that effort, asking the PSC to examine current ROE and consider whether to adopt an alternate approach, including a competitive mechanism, for determining utility returns.
