Notice of Utility Tariff Filing
The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that Homer Electric Association, Inc. (HEA), filed TA477-32, the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement for Electric Service (Agreement) with Tesoro Alaska Company, LLC (Tesoro). The proposed Agreement supersedes the Third Amended and Restated Agreement (approved in TA430-32, as extended in TA470-32) which expired March 31, 2025. The proposed Agreement, which runs from April 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031, reflects a shift in pricing terms, the provision of remote metering services, and removes provisions no longer relevant to Tesoro’s operations. The rates in the Agreement are set forth for each of the seven contract years, with planned step increases for each contract year. The Agreement also provides for Tesoro to pay the cost of power adjustment surcharge set in HEA’s tariff and expressly states that Tesoro will pay the regulatory cost charge, borough sales tax, and electric reliability organization surcharge. Billing under the agreement is retroactive to April 1, 2025, upon approval by the Commission.
This notice may not contain all requested revisions, and the Commission may approve a rate or classification which varies from those proposed.
