Summary of SCC Proposal on Wires charges;
technical and clarifying amendments

• Overview/proposal. Amends § 56-583, the restructuring act’s wires charge provision. The amendments are technical in nature, clarifying, for example, that customers subject to default service must also receive default service before they are obligated to pay wires charges under this provision.
• Note: At the LTTF’s request, the Commission and its staff have worked with AEP representatives to address the issue of "negative wires charges." AEP will be presenting to the LTTF proposed language resulting from that discussion.
