Bear Valley Electric Services GRC Proceedings (Phase I)
Test Year (TY) 2027. A.26-01-022 Docket
On January 30, 2026, Bear Valley Electric Service, (BVES) Inc. filed its TY 2027 General Rate Case (GRC) Application A.26-01-022, requesting authority to increase its authorized revenues for electric service, establish marginal costs, allocate revenues, and design rates as of January 1, 2027.
BVES seeks approval of a proposed Test Year 2027 base revenue requirement of $78.37 million (reflecting an overall revenue increase of $9.77 million or 14.25%), a rate of return on rate base of 9.15%, an 11.3% return on equity (ROE), and a capital structure of 40% debt and 60% equity, among other requests. BVES estimates that its proposed revenue would increase bills for an average-use non-CARE residential customer by approximately 9.61%, or $17.21 per month, compared with 2026 rates.
BVES also seeks an additional $14.64 million of revenue requirement increases for 2028 through 2030.
Please see the decision for more information.
