PMAA Submits Comments to the PUC’s Proposed Changes to "Fair Market Value"

Act 12

In February, the PUC voted at a public meeting to advance four proposed changes to the state’s “fair market value legislation” (Act 12 of 2016, Section 1329). The changes revise current PUC procedures and guidelines related to the evaluation of Section 1329 applications. The changes were published in the PA Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period.
