PEPCO: Public Service Commission Community Hearings for Pepco’s Request for $42.1 Million

Public Service Commission is hosting a Ward 5 Community meeting to discuss Pepco’s request for $42.1 Million dollars (Public Service Commission Dockets Formal Case No. 1087).  On July 8, 2011, Pepco filed an Application for a rate increase with the D.C. Public Service Commission requesting an additional $42.1 million in distribution rates.

Ward 5 Meeting Details

Bethesda Baptist Church
1808 Capitol Ave, NE
Monday, November 21, 2011, 6:30 p.m.

Attendance is not limited to the ward in which you reside in. Come “Let Your Voice Be Heard” at the meeting that is the most convenient for you.


OPC’s Position on the case:

Reliability is vital! Consumers are entitled to reliable service. Before any rate increase is approved, all reliability projects must be carefully designed and thoroughly analyzed to ensure they deliver a marked improvement in the quality and reliability of Pepco’s service.
OPC requested the Commission dismiss Pepco’s rate case in its entirety and require the company to demonstrate it is providing reliable service as a basic condition of its regulatory obligation to provide, just and reasonable utility service. Alternatively, as a minimum requirement:
 The Commission should designate reliability as an issue in this case and require Pepco to submit detailed testimony that supports all projects designed to improve reliability.
 The Commission should require Pepco to prove that the consumer benefits of the smart grid outweigh the cost of the deployment.
 Pepco’s new proposals to change the Commission’s review of future rate cases should be summarily rejected in this proceeding.

The Commission must conduct a thorough review and scrutiny of Pepco’s cost of service adjustments and return on equity (profit) proposals, in light of the fact that this is Pepco’s third Application for rate relief in 4 years while service continues to deteriorate.

Consumers must have a voice in this case. These are your dollars!

Stay up to date with the case by visiting OPC’s website: www.opc-dc.gov

The Commission’s decision is expected in the Spring of 2012.

DDOT - Updates on 5C10 Street and Traffic issues

Based on the SMD 5C10 walk through back in September 2011, the 700 block of Kearney NE has been scheduled for repair.  On November 15, DDOT Ward 5 Team members were on Kearney NE preparing for work.

Note: The 700 block of Lawrence Street NE is scheduled for repair.  DDOT has partnered with DC WASA to investigate Lawrence's sub surface issues which has gravely impacted the street's condition.  We should receive information from the study in the near future.

DDOT has also added new signage throughout 7th ST NE and Monroe St NE for Speed and Truck Traffic limitations 

 Thank You again for addressing the needs of SMD 5C10.  We appreciate your hard work and look forward to the upcoming improvements.

DPW Cleanup - Charles Drew Memorial Bridge Clean up completed

Thank you to Department of Public Works Ward 5 Team for removing the weeds and trees along the base of the Charles Drew Memorial Bridge (311 Service Request Update - 11-00322288)

The overgrown trees created a safety hazard for 7th St side CUA/Brookland Metro traffic that traveled in the early morning and evening hours.
