 In many cases, when the utility applies for a MRP to its state regulator, it will request an increase for each year covered by the requested plan, but sometimes a utility will revise or lower its rate increase request.For example, in 1993, Connecticut Light and Power Company (now called Eversource Energy) reduced its proposed three-year rate increase in an amended request to state utility regulators.In some cases, the utility regulators themselves encourage utilities to adopt a MRP.
