DECISION ADOPTING SETTLEMENTS
I. Summary
By this decision, we adopt an unopposed settlement of the revenue requirement for PacifiCorp for a 2002/2003 test year.1 In addition, we adopt an all-party settlement of the revenue allocation and rate design2. The result is an overall revenue requirement increase of $2.8 million over the revenues generated by the present rates (current revenues), as opposed to PacifiCorp's requested increase of $11.4 million.
1 July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003. 2 Technically, these are stipulations because they each resolve part of the proceeding, rather than the entire proceeding. However, the requirements for approval are no different for stipulations, and the parties call them settlements in their filings. Therefore, we will call them settlements.
