PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF WEST VIRGINIA CHARLESTON CASE NO. 19-0396-E-PC APPALACHIAN POWER COMPANY and WHEELING POWER COMPANY, public utilities. Petition for review of EE/DR programs, approval of new EE/DR programs, termination of an existing EE/DR program, modifications to EE/DR cost calculation methodology and cost recovery allocations, and an increase in EE/DR rider rates. NOTICE OF FILING AND HEARING On April 1, 2019, Appalachian Power Company and Wheeling Power Company filed a petition to initiate the Companies’ 2019 Energy Efficiency and Demand Response (EE/DR) review proceeding. The Companies propose two new EE/DR programs: the Low Income Multifamily Program and the Small Business Direct Install Program. The Companies propose to terminate the Efficient Products Program, but modify the eScore Program by carrying the cost-effective appliance rebates currently offered through the Efficient Products Program over into the eScore Program. The Companies propose a reduction in the overall Residential Peak Reduction Program and a budget increase in the Commercial and Industrial Standard Program. If accepted, the Companies’ proposal would necessitate an increase in the EE/DR rider rates to $0.0011 for residential customers and $0.0006 for commercial customers. The Commission set a procedural schedule, including an evidentiary hearing to begin on August 21, 2019, and continue to August 23, 2019, if necessary.
