Palau Public Utilities - 2007 Electric Rate Study

This report was prepared by the Palau Public Utilities Corporation. The purpose of this Electric rate study is to provide the PPUC staff, Board, government and the citizens of Palau the critical information required to set a current and long-term rate policy that will recover sufficient revenues to fund operating and capital obligations while minimizing the impact on the ratepayers. The PPUC’s electric rates have remained unchanged, such intermingling factors as fuel costs, inflation, general increases in the cost of doing business, federal regulations and the need to repair aging systems have led to substantial increases in electric rates at other utilities throughout the USA and the Pacific Rim.
