Depreciation calculations are key to value of the assets that are included in the rate base. Annual Depreciation expense is a key component in the revenue requirement calculation. Despite these concerns being raised by multiple intervenors over the past 6 months, the BL&P is still using incorrect rate information that is at odds with the FTC’s recent Depreciation Decision dated March 25th, 2022.
