The statutory authority for adoption of these rules is found, generally, at § 40-1-103.5, C.R.S. (authorizing the Commission to promulgate implementing rules)and § 40-2-108, C.R.S. (authorizing the Commission to promulgate rules necessary to administer and enforce Title 40) and, specifically, in SB 23-291, as codified at §§ 40-3-102.5 and 40-3-114, C.R.S., and § 24-4-103(6), C.R.S. |
| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
This matter comes before the Commission for immediate adoption of temporary rules in order to continue certain critical amendments to the Rules Regulating Electric Utilities (“Electric Rules”), 4 Code of Colorado Regulations (“CCR”) 723-3, and Rules Regulating Gas Utilities (“Gas Rules”), 4 CCR 723-4, until the Commission completes its rulemaking in ongoing Proceeding No. 24R-0168EG. The statutory provisions necessitating immediate issuance of these temporary rules were enacted in Senate Bill (“SB”) 23-291, which became effective on August 7, 2023. The Commission originally adopted temporary rules to implement SB 23-291 by Decision No. C23-0538, issued August 14, 2023, in Proceeding No. 23R-0408EG, and then re issued identical rules by Decision No.C24-0139, issued March 6, 2024, in Proceeding No. 24R 0107EG, and again by Decision No. C24-0705, issued September 30, 2024, in Proceeding No. 24R-0414EG. The Commission subsequently issued corrected temporary rules on November 5, 2024, by Decision No. C24-0789, in Proceeding No. 24R-0469EG,to reinstate certain definitions in the Electric Rules |
