Electric and Water Rate Study RFP

Description: The BPU is soliciting proposals to develop Cost of Service and Rate Design Studies for its Electric and Water Utilities. The BPU plans to issue separate two separate contracts, one for Electric and one for Water. The rate studies must provide justifiable and equitable methodologies for appropriate customer charges, usage rates, demand charges and rate riders. The Consultant shall review current rates, rate classes, and load data to provide the necessary recommendations. The BPU’s objective is to ensure that revenues recover the expenses needed to provide reliable and affordable electricity and water to the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas. The BPU desires an equitable rate structure across customer classes in order to prevent cross-subsidization between classes.
