Budget & Surcharge
Budget & Surcharge
The RRC is funded through a surcharge paid by the five Railbelt load-serving entities under the Equitable Allocation of Costs Rule (ER13). Each year, the RRC develops its budget in a public setting to determine the total surcharge amount. The latest surcharge is documented on Sheet 26 of the RRC's Tariff. Both the budget development process and the approval of the RRC's Tariff filing with the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) are conducted publicly.
