k. Description of Request: Alabama 

Power requests approval to modify Unit 

1 at the Bouldin Development to 

address significant maintenance needs 

and to improve power and efficiency. 

The proposed scope of work for Unit 1 

includes complete turbine replacement, 

wicket gate replacement, wicket gate 

stem bushings installation, turbine, and 

generator bearing upgrades, and related 

component replacement. Alabama 

Power states the turbine replacement is 

not expected to result in an increase to 

the total rated capacity or the maximum 

discharge of the unit at rated conditions. 

Alabama Power notes that project 

operations will not change, and 

refurbishment will not include any 

structural changes to the project 

facilities. Furthermore, the intake 

structure will not be modified, nor will 

there be any modifications to the 

existing trash racks. Therefore, Alabama 

Power states that the current approach 

velocity at the trash racks will remain 

the same.

Background 

Intertie Project Transmission Service 

On August 22, 2013, FERC approved 

and confirmed Rate Schedules INT–FT5 

and INT–NFT4 under Rate Order No. 

WAPA–157 on a final basis for a 5-year 

period through April 30, 2018.3 WAPA’s 

Administrator subsequently approved 

the use of the existing Intertie 

transmission service rates for short-term 

sales for the period between May 1, 

2018, and October 31, 2018, or the date 

the extension of the Intertie 

transmission service rates went into 

effect, whichever occurred first. On 

September 11, 2018, the Deputy 

Secretary of Energy approved the 

extension of the Intertie transmission 

service rates on an interim basis.4 On 

December 3, 2018, FERC approved and 

confirmed the extension of Rate 

Schedules INT–FT5 and INT–NFT4 

under Rate Order No. WAPA–181 on a 

final basis for a two-year period through 

September 30, 2020.5 On March 2, 2021, 

FERC approved and confirmed the 

extension of Rate Schedules INT–FT5 

and INT–NFT4 under Rate Order No. 

WAPA–192 on a final basis for a 3-year 

period through September 30, 2023.6

DSW is extending the existing Intertie 

transmission service rates under Rate 

Schedules INT–FT5 and INT–NFT4 for 

one year, through September 30, 2024. 

The existing rates provide sufficient 

revenue to pay all annual costs, 

including interest expense, and repay 

investment within the allowable period 

consistent with the cost recovery criteria 

set forth in Department of Energy (DOE) 

Order RA 6120.2. 

Parker-Davis Project Transmission and 

Firm Electric Service 

On September 18, 2014, FERC 

approved and confirmed Rate Schedules 

PD–F7, PD–FT7, PD–FCT7, and PD– 

NFT7 under Rate Order No. WAPA–162 

on a final basis for a 5-year period 

through September 30, 2018.7 On 

January 31, 2019, FERC approved and 

confirmed the extension of Rate 

Schedules PD–F7, PD–FT7, PD–FCT7, 

and PD–NFT7 under Rate Order No. 

WAPA–184 on a final basis for a 5-year 

period through September 30, 2023.8

DSW is extending the existing PDP 

transmission and firm electric service 

formula rates under Rate Schedules PD– 

F7, PD–FT7, PD–FCT7, and PD–NFT7 

for a one-year period, through 

September 30, 2024. The existing 

formula rates provide sufficient revenue 

to pay all annual costs, including 

interest expense, and repay investment 

within the allowable period consistent 

with the cost recovery criteria set forth 

in DOE Order RA 6120.2. 

Discussion 

In accordance with 10 CFR 903.23(a),

extend, without adjustment, Rate 

Schedules INT–FT5, INT–NFT4, PD–F7, 

PD–FT7, PD–FCT7, and PD–NFT7 

under Rate Order No. WAPA–210.9

DSW determined it was not necessary to 

hold public information or public 

comment forums on the proposed rates 

and formula rates extension, but 

provided a 30-day consultation and 

comment period to give the public an 

opportunity to comment on the 

proposed extension. The consultation 

and comment period ended on July 24, 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

Western will assess a charge for any 

unreserved use of the transmission 

system. Unreserved use occurs when a 

customer uses transmission service that 

it has not reserved or uses transmission 

service in excess of its reserved 

capacity. Unreserved use may also 

include a customer’s failure to curtail 

transmission when requested. 

The charge for unreserved use is two 

times the maximum allowable rate for 

the service at issue, assessed as follows: 

The penalty for a single hour of 

unreserved use is based on the daily 

short-term rate. The penalty for more 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

than one assessment of unreserved use 

for any given duration (e.g., daily) 

increases to next longest duration (e.g., 

weekly). The penalty for multiple 

instances of unreserved use (e.g., more 

than one hour) within a day is based on 

the daily short-term rate. The penalty 

for multiple instances of unreserved use 

isolated to one calendar week is based 

on the weekly short-term rate. The 

penalty for multiple instances of 

unreserved use during more than one 

week in a calendar month is based on 

the monthly short-term rate. 

A customer that exceeds its reserved 

capacity at any point of receipt or point 

of delivery, or a customer that uses 

transmission service at a point of receipt 

or point of delivery that it has not 

reserved, is required to pay for all 

ancillary services that were provided by 

the Western Area Lower Colorado 

(WALC) Balancing Authority and 

associated with the unreserved use. The 

customer will pay for ancillary services 

based on the amount of transmission 

service used and not reserved.
