Christensen Associates has expertise in all areas of the ratemaking process and can assist a utility with all aspects of pursuing regulatory approval for rate increases, changes in existing rate design, and new price offerings. Christensen Associates has extensive experience in conducting cost-of-service studies for investor-owned, co-operative, and municipal utilities. We regularly perform analyses that are used as key inputs into interclass revenue allocation decisions, the design of standard tariff rates, and the creation of more innovative price offerings. These analyses are supported by a highly-credentialed staff with many years of experience developing analytical methods and defending them in regulatory proceedings and negotiating sessions. Our team includes individuals who were once rate managers at major utilities and public service commission senior staff.
Our areas of expertise include:
- cost of service modeling
- cost of capital
- rates structure
- expert testimony
- regulatory strategy
- rate case support
- pricing competitive services
- negotiation support.
