UTILITIES COMMISSION
In the Matter of
Investigation of Cost - Based
Rates, Load Management, and
Conservation Oriented End-Use
Activities
NOTICE OF HEARING
BY THE COMMISSION: No
tice is hereby given that the
North Carolina Utilities Commis
sion has scheduled a public
hearing in this docket which will
commence on Tuesday, March
11, 1980, at 10:00 a.m., in the
Commission Hearing Room,
Dobbs Building, 430 North
Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North
Carolina.
The purpose of this hearing is
to consider approval and adop
tion of a uniform customer
charge and accounting procedure
to be followed by the electric and
natural gas utilities in this State
who will be offering energy
audits under the Residential
Conservation Service (RCS)
Program, Part I of Title II of the
National Energy Conservation
Policy Act (NECPA). A Final
Rule implementing the RCS
Program was published in the
Federal Register on November 7,
1979, by fhe Department of
Energy. This Rule became
effective on December 7, 1979.
Section 456.310(b) of such Rule
requires this Commission to
make certain determinations
with respect to how the following
costs associated with residential
energy audits will be treated for
accounting purposes: admini
strative and general expenses;
costs associated with project
manager requirements; and
interest costs on customer loans.
The basic issue before the
Commission will be whether the
above-referenced costs should be
treated as a current utility
operating expense or whether
such costs should be charged to
the eligible customer who
requests, an energy audit. In
addition, Section 456.310(c) of the
DOE Rule permits the Commis
sion, should it decide to do so, to
condition the whole or partial
expensing of residential energy
audits upon,the establishment of
procedures to ensure that each
eligible customer receives only
one free or subsidized audit in
those cases where a customer is
served by more than one covered
utility.
The determinations made by
this Commission pursuant to
Section 456.310 of the DOE Final
Rule will become part of the
North Carolina State Residential
Conservation Service Plan.
The Public Staff 'is authorized
by statute to represent the using
