2026 RRC Budget and Surcharge

Budget

The RRC’s budget development process is conducted publicly and transparently. RRC staff prepare successive iterations of the proposed budget, which are presented to the Finance & Audit Committee for discussion and, where appropriate, recommendation for action. All committee meetings are open to the public.

The RRC Board of Directors (Board) officially approves the budget and related surcharge filing through a formal vote. Once approved, the surcharge filing is submitted to the RCA for regulatory review and final approval.

To further support public engagement, the RRC hosts three public review sessions during the budget development process. These sessions are intended to provide stakeholders and interested parties with an opportunity to learn more about the proposed budget and RRC work plan and offer input.

A detailed schedule of the 2026 budget development process, including meeting dates and public review sessions, is provided below.
