What this could meanNexis Hub analysis, not the record
Non-residential rate structure changes can affect operating costs for facilities, fleets, warehouses, and manufacturing, and can influence customer decisions about electrification, on-site storage, and load management. Suppliers may want to follow the record for how price signals are proposed to change. Any effect on a specific business depends on rate schedule and load profile, and remains a matter of analysis.
