A customer requesting the Utility to replace existing overhead distribution facilities with underground distribution facilities shall pay the contribution in aid of construction and receive refunds as shown in §
263-55 above.
Before a Utility extends or modifies its transmission facilities
to a retail customer, the Utility shall require a contract between
the Utility and the customer which describes the facilities to be
constructed, such as the cost of construction, apportions the responsibility
for the construction costs between the Utility and the customer and
provides a supporting analysis for the construction and the cost apportionment.
The Utility shall submit the contract to the Commission for approval.
The Commission shall review the contract to assess whether existing
ratepayers would be adversely affected by the proposed extension or
modification. If the Commission does not respond to the Utility within
20 working days from the date of receipt, the contract is approved.
