Item 8.01 - Other Events.
TEP Rate Case Proceeding.
As previously reported, Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) has a proceeding underway before the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) to establish new retail rates.
The participants in the proceeding have been engaged in settlement discussions. On April 18, 2008, the ACC Staff filed a request with the administrative law judge conducting the proceeding stating that, due to the amount of time invested in settlement discussions, the ACC Staff was requesting that the April 24, 2008 surrebuttal filing date be vacated. TEP supports the request. TEP cannot predict whether these discussions will result in a settlement agreement. A settlement agreement would also be subject to a hearing before the administrative law judge and approval by the ACC.
The ACC Staff indicated it will request a substitute procedural order in the near future.
TEP cannot predict the outcome of this request or the outcome of the rate case proceeding.
