  1. On March 22, 2018, Decision 18-03-035 set the authorized cost of capital for 2018 through 2020. CAW has a separate Cost of Capital case which sets the rate of return outside of a general rate proceeding.
  2. The Rate Base listed is the Company's view of the Rate Base allowed in the case, the Rate Base was not disclosed in the Order or the applicable settlement agreement.

  4. The equity ratio listed is the Company's view of the equity ratio allowed in the case, the actual equity ratio was not disclosed in the Order or the applicable settlement agreement.
  5. The ROE listed is the Company's view of the ROE allowed in the case; however, the ROE was not disclosed in the Order or the applicable settlement agreement.
  6. Interim rates were effective April 1, 2016 and received final Order May 24, 2017.
  7. Interim rates were effective June 15, 2018 and final rates effective October 29, 2018.
