The decision wasn’t made by the state house, it was made by the PUC. The PUC does not have the ability to force RIE to sell electricity at a loss, which is what the people who showed up wanted them to do. The rate increase was approved because natural gas prices increased, so the cost of generating electricity increased by a defined, calculable amount.
