percent. Commercial and industrial
customers’ price decreases w ill be
about 3.3 percent.
Under PGE’ s filin g , the newprices
would be effective u ntil M ay 31,1993,
when PGE estimates it would com
plete the recovery o f the allowed $22.6
m illion.
In other action, PGE has filed for
a price increase to collect $ 1.4 m illio n
during the next year fo r exceeding its
energy efficiency goals. I f approved,
this would increase all PGE custom
ers’ prices by about 0.2 percent (10
cents per month for residential cus
tomers using 1,000 kilow att-hours per
month) effective A p ril 15.
I f both requests are approved, the
net effect is a 0.3 percent decrease fo r
residential and farm customers and a
decrease o f 3.1 percent fo r commer
cial and industrial customers.
