ABOUT THE APPLICATION
On November 1, 2021, Siskiyou submitted its General Rate Case application requesting CPUC approval to increase its intrastate rates, revenue requirement, and rate design. Siskiyou has proposed to increase the prices for its basic residential and basic business rates by $1 per month. After a $1 per month increase, Siskiyou’s rate for basic residential service would be $25 per month, and its rate for basic business service would be $27 per month. Siskiyou’s application includes a request to review the California High Cost Fund-A (CHCF-A) amounts that the company receives. Siskiyou’s proposed basic residential service rate of $25 per month results in a monthly charge of approximately $35.95 when applicable federal and state fees and surcharges are included.
