Case 24-G-0462 - Proceeding on Motion of the Commission as to the Rates, Charges, Rules and Regulations of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation for Gas Service.
Central Hudson filed amendments to its electric and gas tariff schedules on August 1, 2024, proposing to increase its annual electric and gas delivery revenues. More specifically, the Company seeks to increase its electric delivery revenues by approximately $47 million and its gas delivery revenues by approximately $15 million, representing total bill impacts for average residential customers of 5.3% and 5.9%, respectively, after mitigation. The Company states that drivers for the revenue increases are the replacement of aging or obsolete infrastructure; labor costs, including the need to hire staff to focus on protecting its critical infrastructure systems from cybersecurity threats; and increases in uncollectable expenses related to the growth in customer arrears.
