SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 2, 2011, FERC approved and 

confirmed Rate Schedules for CVP 

power, transmission, and ancillary 

services; COTP transmission; and 

Pacific Alternating Current Intertie 

(PACI) transmission under Rate Order 

No. WAPA–156. That rate order was 

extended by Rate Order Nos. WAPA– 

173 and WAPA–185. These rates are set 

to expire on September 30, 2024.1 The 

formula rate schedules are: 

• CV–F13—Base Resource and First 

Preference Power 

• CPP–2—Custom Product Power 

• CV–T3—Firm and Non-Firm Point-toPoint Transmission Service 

• CV–NWT5—Network Integration 

Transmission Service 

• COTP–T3—Firm and Non-Firm Pointto-Point Transmission Service 

• PACI–T3—Firm and Non-Firm Pointto-Point Transmission Service (to be 

handled in a separate rate case) 

• CV–TPT7—Third-Party Transmission 

Service 

• CV–UUP1—Unreserved Use Penalties 

• CV–RFS4—Regulation and Frequency 

Response 

• CV–SPR4—Spinning Reserves 

• CV–SUR4—Supplemental Reserves 

On April 27, 2021, the FERC 

confirmed and approved Rate Order No. 

WAPA–194, which placed into effect 

formula rates for the Energy Imbalance 

Market (EIM) services, Sale of Surplus 

Products, and revisions to existing rate 

schedules for Energy Imbalance and 

Generator Imbalance services. These 

rates are set to expire on December 31, 

2024.2 The formula rate schedules are: 

• CV–EIM1S—EIM Administrative 

Service Charge 

• CV–EIM4S—EIM Energy Imbalance 

Service 

• CV–EIM9S—EIM Generator Imbalance 

Service 

• CV–SSP2—Sale of Surplus Products 

• CV–EID5—Energy Imbalance Service 

• CV–GID2—Generator Imbalance 

Service 

The proposed rates continue the 

formula-based methodology that 

includes an annual update to the 

financial, load, and other data in the 

rate formulas. SN intends the proposed 

formula-based rates to go into effect 

October 1, 2024. The proposed formula 

rates would remain in effect until 

September 30, 2029, or until WAPA 

supersedes or changes the formula rates 

through another public rate process 

pursuant to 10 CFR part 903, whichever 

occurs first. 

The proposed formula rates would 

provide sufficient revenue to recover 

annual costs within the cost recovery 

criteria set forth in Department of 

Energy (DOE) Order RA 6120.2. SN 

proposed rate schedules are located on 

our website at: https://www.wapa.gov/ 

regions/SN/rates/Pages/Rate-Case-2024- 

WAPA-207-Proposed-RateSchedules.aspx. For more detailed 

information on the proposed rate 

formulas, example calculations and cost 

comparisons, please visit the customer

website at: https://www.wapa.gov/ 

regions/SN/rates/Documents/RateOrder-WAPA-207-Proposed-RateBrochure.pdf. 

Proposed Power Revenue Requirement 

and Allocation to Preference Customers 

Before the start of each Fiscal Year 

(FY), SN would continue to calculate 

and publish an annual Power Revenue 

Requirement (PRR) to determine the 

total cost of power. The total cost of 

power is allocated to SN’s preference 

customers, namely, First Preference (FP) 

customers based on their FP 

percentages, and the remaining amount 

to Base Resource (BR) customers based 

on their BR allocation, adjusted for 

programs, such as hourly exchange. The 

Trinity River Division Act of 1955 (69 

Stat. 719) and the Flood Control Act of 

1962 (76 Stat. 1173, 1191–1192) 

accorded first preference to CVP power 

to customers in Trinity, Tuolumne, and 

Calaveras Counties. A BR customer, 

under the 2004 and 2025 Marketing 

Plans, is an entity that has executed a 

BR contract and is allocated a 

percentage of the BR. 

SN prepares a Power Repayment 

Study (PRS) each FY to determine if 

revenue will be sufficient to repay, 

within the required periods, all costs 

assigned to the commercial power 

function. Generally, the PRR includes 

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) 

expenses, purchased power for Project 

Use and FP customers’ loads, interest, 

and other expenses (including any other 

statutorily required costs or charges), 

investment repayment, and the Washoe 

Project annual PRR. Revenues from 

Project Use, transmission, ancillary 

services, and other services offset 

expenses in the PRR; and the remainder 

is collected from BR and FP customers. 

The PRR is reviewed during March of 

each year; and if such review results in 

a change of $5 million or more to the 

annual PRR, collections are adjusted 

over the remaining 6-month period. The 

PRR is an estimate of revenues and 

expenses including investment and 

repayment projections from the PRS. 

Any variance from estimate to actual 

will increase or decrease annual project 

repayment. Project repayment is 

measured over the long term to ensure 

repayment is met and to maintain rate 

stability. 

For SN to meet the load requirements 

beyond delivered BR for Full Load 

Service (FLS) customers and Variable 

Resource (VR) customers, SN may make 

Supplemental Power (SP) purchases 

pursuant to the Custom Product Power 

(CPP) rate schedule. FLS and VR 

customers who contract with SN for 

such service will pay all SP costs. FLS 

customers pay a portfolio management 

charge according to their contract, 

whereas VR customers pay a scheduling 

charge per the rate schedule. 

Proposed Transmission and Ancillary 

Services Revenue Requirements and 

Formula Rates 

At least annually, SN will publish the 

CVP transmission rates for Point-toPoint and Network Integration 

Transmission Service (NITS), the COTP 

transmission rates, and CVP regulation 

and frequency response service rates. 

SN prepares a detailed cost-of-service 

study to determine the costs, by project,

4This Act transferred to, and vested in, the 

Secretary of Energy the power marketing functions 

of the Secretary of the Department of the Interior 

and the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) under 

the Reclamation Act of 1902 (ch. 1093, 32 Stat. 

388), as amended and supplemented by subsequent 

laws, particularly section 9(c) of the Reclamation 

Project Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)), and other 

acts that specifically apply to the projects involved. 

5 In compliance with the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 

4321–4347; the Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508); and DOE NEPA Implementing 

Procedures and Guidelines (10 CFR part 1021). 

that support the transfer capability of 

each transmission system and the cost 

that supports the generation capability 

of the CVP system. Generally, the costs 

allocated through the cost-of-service 

study for the transmission systems 

include O&M, interest, and depreciation 

expenses. SN’s costs for scheduling, 

system control and dispatch service 

associated with CVP and COTP 

transmission service are included and 

recovered through the respective 

transmission system’s Revenue 

Requirement. Third-party transmission 

service costs are passed through directly 

to each requesting customer. 

SN proposes the Unreserved Use 

Penalties continue to be assessed at 200 

percent of the effective point-to-point 

transmission rate when transmission 

service is used and not reserved or 

when used in excess of the reservation. 

The required spinning and 

supplemental reserves charges are based 

on a price consistent with the California 

Independent System Operator’s (CAISO) 

market price plus all costs incurred for 

the sale of these reserves. Customers 

who have a contractual obligation to 

provide spinning and supplemental 

reserves and do not fulfill their 

obligation will be assessed a penalty 

equal to the greater of SN’s actual cost 

or 150 percent of the market price. 

For Energy Imbalance (EI) service, 

when the EIM is suspended, customers 

outside of their contractual bandwidth 

(under delivery) will pay the greater of 

150 percent of the market price or SN’s 

actual cost. Given SN’s EI customers are 

and will continue to operate under 

existing agreements, SN will continue 

its existing rate methodology for EI. SN 

proposes the GI rate use the same tiered 

methodology as SN’s proposed EI 

service rate. 

Proposed Sale of Surplus Products 

Formula Rates 

The proposed rates would be for the 

sale of surplus energy and/or capacity 

products. This includes Energy, 

Frequency Response Reserve, 

Regulation, Reserves, and Resource 

Sufficiency. If CVP surplus products are 

available, SN could make the product(s) 

available for sale, provided entities 

enter into separate agreement(s) which 

would specify the terms of sale(s). 

Proposed EIM Service Formula Rates 

SN will continue participation in the 

EIM as a Transmission Service Provider 

(TSP) within the Balancing Authority of 

Northern California (BANC) Balancing 

Authority Area (BAA). SN is proposing 

continued formula rate schedules for: 

(1) EIM Administrative Service, (2) EIM 

EI Service, and (3) EIM GI Service. In 

EIM, CAISO economically dispatches 

energy under its EIM Tariff to meet the 

imbalances for loads and resources over 

multiple BAAs. CAISO provides a 

centralized, automated, and region-wide 

dispatch for imbalances. The EIM 

Administrative Services formula rate 

continues to allow SN to pass through 

administrative costs incurred by SN 

resulting from its participation in EIM 

as a Participating Resource Scheduling 

Coordinator (PRSC). The formula rates 

and cost allocation for Administrative, 

EI, and GI services would be in effect 

when SN is participating in the EIM, 

and to the extent SN incurs associated 

settlements during market suspension or 

contingency. 

Legal Authority 

Existing DOE procedures for public 

participation in power and transmission 

rate adjustments (10 CFR part 903) were 

published on September 18, 1985, and 

February 21, 2019.3 The proposed 

action is a major rate adjustment, as 

defined by 10 CFR 903.2(d). In 

accordance with 10 CFR 903.15(a) and 

10 CFR 903.16(a), SN will hold public 

information and public comment 

forums for this rate adjustment. SN will 

review and consider all timely public 

comments at the conclusion of the 

consultation and comment period and 

adjust the proposal as appropriate. The 

rates will then be approved on an 

interim basis. 

SN is establishing the formula rates 

for COTP and CVP transmission, CVP 

power, and other related services in 

accordance with section 302 of the DOE 

Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7152).4

By Delegation Order No. S1–DEL– 

RATES–2016, effective November 19, 

2016, the Secretary of Energy delegated: 

(1) the authority to develop power and 

transmission rates to the WAPA 

Administrator; (2) the authority to 

confirm, approve, and place such rates 

into effect on an interim basis to the 

Deputy Secretary of Energy; and (3) the 

authority to confirm, approve, and place 

into effect on a final basis, or to remand 

or disapprove such rates, to FERC. By 

Delegation Order No. S1–DEL–S3–2023, 

effective April 10, 2023, the Secretary of 

Energy also delegated the authority to 

confirm, approve, and place such rates 

into effect on an interim basis to the 

Under Secretary for Infrastructure. By 

Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL– 

WAPA1–2023, effective April 10, 2023, 

the Under Secretary for Infrastructure 

further redelegated the authority to
