Morey]]. The update set the rider's revenue requirement at $110.4 million — a return on $1.24 billion of construction-in-progress for three new power plants — to be recovered from all 738,836 of the utility's retail customers beginning with June 2026 bills. ## Sources - [[GAJA Rider 2026 Annual Update]] — the Direct Testimony of [[Matthew R.

It adds roughly $5.77 a month to a typical residential bill and is the corpus's clearest answer to who pays for the new generation — all retail ratepayers, by the standard demand allocator, with no data-center customer named as a driver or a contributor.
