The PUCN approved $118 million from Oct. 1, 2025 with a 9.5% ROE, and the demand charge from April 2026, which regulators said would lower most residential bills about 1.5% while raising rooftop-solar bills about $12 a month.

  • Greenlink transmission construction costs
  • new daily demand charge to align rates with peak usage
