The requirement for a Benefit Cost Analysis (“BCA”) model was established on December 8, 2023, through Commission Order No. 21938 issued in General Docket 2019-04-M. This Order, which concluded Phase 1 and opened Phase 2 of the Commission’s proceeding, adopted a framework (including specified benefits and costs) for the development of the BCA, Societal Cost Test (“SCT”), and Total Resource Cost (“TRC”) test to be used to examine gas and electric distribution company-related initiatives. The SCT will be relied upon as the primary BCA test and the TRC will serve as the secondary test to provide additional guidance to the Commission.
