RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:BUY NOW my point is that the relationship between the rate of return (ROE) included in utility rates and long-term interest rates is not always as straightforward as the statement “For example, if rate of return included in the rates was 9% when long term rates were at 2%, then it will be 12%+ with long term rates at 5%+.” suggests….while it is generally true that higher long-term rates can influence an increase in the allowed ROE, this relationship is nuanced, and there are other factors that can complicate it, including economic conditions such as persistent inflation together with low economic growth..imo..
