Following its January 26, 2015 meeting, the NCUC issued an order authorizing the requested IMR rate adjustments, subject to further review and determination of the reasonableness and prudence of the capital investments and associated costs reflected in the adjustments in the Company's annual IMR adjustment proceedings or next general rate case, with any adjustments to be implemented through a prospective rate adjustment at or after the time such adjustment is approved by the NCUC.
