Ah, thought the chart was specifically speaking to one particular jurisdiction based on who was commenting.

Performance-based regulation. Distribution rates go up by a formula and are not connected to cost. Transmission utility prices are different. They are regulated at cost plus fair return.

It is skewed and poorly done. But that being said, those questions were asking the respondent to rank various options. So if you select 2 for one option, it is not available for the next option.

FYI, you were the reason I kept an account on the other place for as long as I did.
