Overall Goal of this Proceeding The Commission shall ensure that bundled retail customers of an electrical corporation shall not experience any cost increases as a result of either (1) retail customers of an electrical corporation electing to receive service from other providers or (2) the implementation of a community choice aggregator program. The Commission shall also ensure that departing load does not experience any cost increases as a result of an allocation of costs that were not incurred on behalf of the departing load. As explained in the Scoping Memo, the other guiding principles provided in the Rulemaking were revised and reorganized to reflect the statutorily required balance between bundled load and departing load”: Final Guiding Principles Any PCIA methodology adopted by the Commission to prevent cost increases for either bundled or departing load: should be transparent and verifiable, including the most open and easily accessible treatment of input data, while maintaining confidentiality of information that should remain confidential; should have reasonably predictable outcomes that promote certainty and stability for all customers within a reasonable planning horizon; should be flexible enough to maintain its accuracy and stability if the number of departing customers changes significantly, and to maintain its accuracy and stability if customers return to bundled-customer service; should not create unreasonable obstacles for customers of non-IOU energy providers;
