In July 2009, in response to a motion for reconsideration, the FPSC determined that adjustments to the capital structure used to calculate the rates effective in 2009 should have been calculated over all sources of capital rather than only investor sources. This change resulted in a $9.3 million increase in revenue requirements in 2009 for a total increase of $113.6 million. At the same time, the FPSC voted to reject the intervenors joint motion requesting reconsideration of the 2010 portion of base rates approved in 2009.
In December 2009, the FPSC approved Tampa Electrics petition requesting an effective date of Jan. 1, 2010 for the proposed rates supporting the CTs and rail unloading facilities and based on its Staff audit of Tampa Electrics actual costs incurred, the Commission determined the portion of base rates approved in 2009 should be reduced by $8.3 million to $25.7 million, subject to refund. A regulatory proceeding was scheduled for October 2010 regarding the continuing need for the CTs, the appropriate amount to be recovered and the resulting rates.
In July 2010, Tampa Electric entered into a stipulation with the intervenors to resolve all issues related to the 2008 base rate case including the base rates effective Jan. 1, 2010 as well as the intervenors appeal to the Florida Supreme Court. Under the terms of the stipulation, the $25.7 million rate increase would remain in effect for 2010, Tampa Electric would make a one-time reduction of $24.0 million to customers bills in 2010 and effective Jan. 1, 2011, and for subsequent years, rates of $24.4 million (a $1.3 million reduction from the $25.7 million in effect for 2010) related to the rate increase will be in effect.
In August 2010, the FPSC approved the July stipulation, as filed in Docket No. 090368-EI Review of the continuing need and cost associated with Tampa Electric Companys 5 Combustion Turbines and Big Bend Rail Facility. This stipulation resolved all issues in the above docket and all issues in the intervenors appeal of the FPSCs 2009 decision in Tampa Electrics base rate proceeding pending before the Florida Supreme Court. The docket related to the base rate proceeding is now closed. The one-time reduction of $24.0 million to customers bills in 2010 was reflected in operating results as a reduction in revenue and base rates reflect a total rate increase of $137.6 million as of Jan. 1, 2011.
In September 2010, Tampa Electric filed with the FPSC for approval of cost recovery rates for fuel and purchased power, capacity, environmental and conservation costs for the period January through December 2011. In November 2010, the FPSC approved Tampa Electrics requested rates. The rates include the projected cost for natural gas, oil and coal, including transportation, for 2011 and the net over-recovery of fuel, purchased power and capacity clause expenses, which were collected in 2010 and 2009. Rates in 2010 also reflected a two-block residential fuel factor structure with a lower factor for the first 1,000 kilowatt-hours used each month for the first time. Due to increased reliance on natural gas to fuel its generating fleet and continued low natural gas prices, Tampa Electrics residential customer rate per 1,000 kilowatt-hours decreased $5.22 from $112.73 in 2010 to $107.51 in 2011.
