DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Southwestern Power Administration

Proposed Rate Schedule Changes

AGENCY: Southwestern Power

Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of rate schedule changes

for public review and comment.

SUMMARY: The Administrator,

Southwestern Power Administration

(Southwestern), has determined that

changes to the use of the energy

imbalance service in the current Rate

Schedule NFTS–98C and the power

factor penalty formula in Rate

Schedules P–98C and NFTS–98C are

needed. In addition, an Interconnection

Facilities Service Charge is being

established in the revised NFTS–98C

rate schedule. This charge will provide

compensation to Southwestern when

other entities use facilities of the

Federal government through

interconnections for which no other

benefits are being received. Other areas

within the rate schedules have been

modified for clarity or eliminated if no

longer applicable. Since the proposed

changes to the rate schedules are

associated with the terms and

conditions of current service and the

establishment of a new charge for which

Southwestern currently has no

contractual arrangements, there is no

immediate impact on the previously

established revenue requirements for

Southwestern’s Integrated System.

Consequently, the net result of the

revenue requirements projected in the

1997 Integrated System Power

Repayment Studies, which provided the

basis for the existing rate schedules, is

not changed.

DATES: Written comments on the

proposed rate schedule changes are due

on or before March 9, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Forrest E. Reeves, Assistant

Administrator, Office of Corporate

Operations, (918) 595–6696,

reeves@swpa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

names of the rate schedules will be

changed from P–98C and NFTS–98C to

P–98D and NFTS–98D, respectively, in

order to reflect the fact that changes

have been made. These rate schedules

are being changed at this time to

address, prior to the summer electrical

peak period, previously unforeseen

problems that have arisen as a result of

the time differential in the price of

power. The provisions of the rate

schedules being changed are: (1) The

Limitations on Energy Imbalance

Service; (2) the Power Factor Penalty;

(3) the addition of an Interconnection

Facilities Service Charge; and, (4)

modifications to enhance clarity within

the rate schedules. The proposed

changes are described below:

The Limitations on Energy Imbalance

Service in the proposed NFTS–98D rate

schedule has been changed to better

clarify the hours and circumstances in

which energy within the authorized

bandwidth is to be returned to the

providing party. The current rate

schedule provided for energy within the

authorized bandwidth to be returned to

Southwestern ‘‘in like hours and similar

circumstances.’’ The lack of definition

in this language provided an

opportunity for customers to use the

bandwidth during high-value peak

demand periods and to return the

energy during low-value off-peak

demand periods. The need to be more

explicit regarding the like hours and

circumstances for return of the energy is

important, particularly during summer

peak periods when the value of energy

is high and the capability of

Southwestern to provide such energy

during those times is typically low.

The Power Factor Penalty is being

changed in the proposed P–98D and

NFTS–98D rate schedules to more

accurately charge for the reactive

kilovolt amperes (rkVA or VARs) taken

from the System of Southwestern during

any particular hour which contribute to

power factors less than 95 percent,

rather than the current process which

charges for the customer’s peak demand

in kilowatts for the month in which a

low power factor was calculated. This

revised penalty more closely ties the

provision to the actual VARs taken from

the System of Southwestern. In

addition, Southwestern has expanded

the application of this penalty to

provide for a charge at interconnections

that could also experience a low power

factor.

Southwestern is adding a new

provision to the NFTS–98D rate

schedule for an Interconnection

Facilities Service Charge. This charge

will be applicable to those customers

who request an interconnection on the

System of Southwestern that does not

provide commensurate transmission

system support benefits or

compensation to Southwestern for the

use of Federal facilities. In order for

Southwestern to provide an

interconnection on its system,

Southwestern has historically and must

continue to secure commensurate

benefits for the use of its facilities to

assure that the Federal Government is

compensated for the use of such

facilities, thereby recovering its costs,

and to assure that all customers are

charged the same for the same type of

service. The charge for this service has

been set at $0.69 per kilowatt per

month, which represents the cost of

Southwestern’s facilities being used.

Redlined versions of the revised rate

schedules P–98D and NFTS–98D are

available upon request. To request a

copy, please contact Barbara Otte at

918–595–6674 or at otte@swpa.gov or

Tracey Hannon at 918–595–6677 or at

hannon@swpa.gov.

The Administrator has determined

that written comments will provide

adequate opportunity for public

participation in the rate schedule

revision process. Therefore, an

opportunity is presented for interested

parties to submit written comments on

the proposed rate schedule changes.

Written comments are due no later than

thirty (30) days following publication of

this notice in the Federal Register. Five

copies of written comments should be

submitted to: Forrest E. Reeves,

Assistant Administrator, Southwestern

Power Administration, One West Third

Street, Suite 1400, Tulsa, OK 74103.

Following review and consideration

of written comments, the Administrator

will finalize and submit the proposed

rate schedules to the Deputy Secretary

of Energy for approval on an interim

basis. The Deputy Secretary will then

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 7, 2001 / Notices 9317

forward the proposed rate schedules to

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission for confirmation and

approval on a final basis.

Issued at Tulsa, Oklahoma this 24th day of

January 2001.

Michael A. Deihl,

Administrator.
