Duquesne Light has filed an update to its Purchase of Receivables rate, as provided in its POLR V plan, and also updated its supply charges.

The new supply charges, which are not official Prices to Compare, are for small and medium commercial customers during the five-month transition period of January through May 2011.  Starting in June 2011, small commercial customers will be served on a fixed annual supply charge, while supply charges for medium commercial customers will change every six months.

Duquesne Light Supply Charges
Customers with monthly metered demand less than 25 kW
                                                             Supply Charge
January 1, 2011 through May 31, 2011        5.8463¢/kWh

Customers with monthly metered demand equal to or greater than 25 kW and less than 300 kW
                                                             Supply Charge
January 1, 2011 through May 31, 2011        6.0468¢/kWh

Per Duquesne Light's POLR V default service plan, the residential "supply charge" is fixed at 7.86¢/kWh.

POR Rates
As provided for under the POLR V settlement (5/21), the new POR discount rate for residential and small commercial & industrial customers is 0.52%, comprised of 0.42% for uncollectible expenses and 0.10% for incremental ongoing operating and administrative expenses related to these customers.

The new discount rate for POR for medium commercial & industrial customers is 0.28% comprised of 0.18% for uncollectible expenses and 0.10% for incremental ongoing operating and administrative expenses related to these customers.

Small commercial & industrial customers are those customers in the eligible rate classes (GS/GM and GMH) with monthly metered demand less than 25 kW.  Medium commercial & industrial customers are eligible customers with monthly metered demand equal to or greater than 25 kW.

The tariff sheets containing the new discount rates are effective January 1, 2011.  No change is made to the provisions allowing Duquesne Light to apply a supplier-specific discount rate if the supplier's uncollectible percentage exceeds 5%.

The discount rates may be updated twice annually during the term of the POR program which runs through May 2013 -- once on February 1, 2012 and again on February 1, 2013.

Previously, a single discount rate of 0.70% applied to all eligible customer classes.
