Frequently asked questions

Are proposed utility rate changes shown as if they were approved?

No. A proposed row is labeled Proposed, not approved. A settlement that still needs a commission decision is labeled Settled, pending approval. The percent on those rows is the requested or settlement figure, not an approved rate.

Are residential and commercial utility changes listed separately?

Yes, when the source states them separately. A row labeled all customers means the source did not publish a separate commercial percent.

Does PriceLetter calculate a utility percent from a dollar change?

No. A percent is shown only when the cited source states it. If the source gives dollars and no percent, the page shows the dollars.
