3. Scope

To evaluate the deployment request, the Commission must decide whether: the proposed systems meet the functionality criteria set forth in the Assigned Commissioner Ruling of May 18, 2005; the correct technology has been selected; the project is cost-effective; to allow recovery of the actual project costs without further reasonableness review; to adopt a critical peak pricing proposal; and to adopt any other necessary ratemaking provisions necessary to implement AMI. As found by this decision, the AMI project satisfies the requirements set out in the scoping memo.
