Juneau rate payers win small victory from utility regulators JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) _ Some Juneau utility customers will get a small reprieve in their electric bills. They won't have to pay higher utility rates for the entire month of April. Instead the high rates will be calculated from April 16th. That's the date avalanches wiped out transmission towers from the Snettisham hydropower project and forced the city onto diesel generators. The Regulatory Commission of Alaska on Wednesday approved the request from Juneau's power company, Alaska Electric Light and Power, to change the date. The company said it was responding to concerns that the increased tariff should only apply to power consumed after the avalanches when many residents started conserving energy. The new higher rates should show up on bills issued May 16th. |
