亚利桑那州公司委员会批准了美国天然气公司的第一个公式率,即年利率调整机制(ARAM),以年度成本审查取代传统的费率确定,以提高可负担性和透明度。 The Arizona Corporation Commission has approved the state’s first Formula Rate, the Annual Rate Adjustment Mechanism (ARAM), for UNS Gas, replacing traditional rate-setting with annual reviews of costs to improve affordability and transparency. 与基于单一 " 测试年 " 的旧制度不同, " ARAM " 允许及时调整利率,防止出乎意料的涨幅,并使年度储蓄(例如减税)能够直接转给客户。 Unlike the old system based on a single “test year,” ARAM allows for timely rate adjustments, prevents surprise hikes, and enables annual savings—such as from tax cuts—to be passed directly to customers. 它还允许在费用下降时降低费率,并加强监督,以确保合理的支出。 It also permits rate decreases when costs fall and strengthens oversight to ensure reasonable spending. 这一变化在联邦一级和其他州已经使用了几十年,目的是稳定账单,帮助家庭更好地管理能源预算。 The change, used for decades at the federal level and in other states, aims to stabilize bills and help households better manage energy budgets.
