consumption data on a daily basis for all customers.
"(2) "ARRA" means the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,
approved February 17, 2009 (123 Stat. 115; 26 U.S.C. § 1, note).
"(3) "Commission" means the Public Service Commission.
"(4) "Customer" shall have the same meaning as set forth in section 101(12) of
the Retail Electric Competition and Consumer Protection Act of 1999, effective May 9, 2000
(D.C. Law 13-107; D.C. Official Code § 34-1501(12)).
(5) "Electric company" shall have the same meaning as set forth in the fifteenth
unnumbered paragraph, beginning "The term "electric company"", of section 8(1) of An Act
Making appropriations to provide for the expenses of the government of the District of Columbia
for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and fourteen, and for other purposes,
approved March 4, 1913 (37 Stat. 976; D.C. Official Code § 34-207).
(6) "Meter Data Management System" means a system that provides a single data
repository which can gather data from multiple metering systems and then supply that data to
multiple applications such as billing, forecasting, customer service, system operation and

(7) "Regulatory asset" means specific costs that a public utility may defer to its
balance sheet and accrue earnings thereon at its authorized rate of return.

Sec. 2162. Authorization of Advanced Metering Infrastructure implementation (Smart
Grid) and cost recovery.
(a) The electric company may implement an Advanced Metering Infrastructure for all
consumers, provided, that the electric company obtains a sufficient amount of federal funds for
AMI implementation under the ARRA. The sufficiency of the amount of the federal funds
obtained shall be determined by the Commission. The Commission shall make a determination
of the sufficiency of federal funds obtained within no more than 60 days after the receipt of
notice from the electric company of the amount of federal funds awarded.
(b) The electric company may establish a regulatory asset for the costs, net of the amount
of the ARRA funds received, including depreciation and amortization expense, incurred by the
electric company between base rate cases for the implementation of Advanced Metering
Infrastructure, including the amortization expense of the Meter Data Management System, the
depreciation expense on the AMI meters, and the undepreciated net book costs of the meters
replaced by the AMI meters. The regulatory asset shall accrue a return at the electric company's

141

authorized rate of return on the balance in the regulatory asset.
(c) The creation of a regulatory asset for Advanced Metering Infrastructure shall not
affect the authority of the Commission to review the prudence of costs associated with
implementation of AMI. In any Commission proceeding reviewing the costs, the electric
company shall have the burden to prove that all of the costs have been prudently incurred.
(d) The electric company shall net any utility cost savings resulting from AMI
deployment from the regulatory asset.
