Wholesale Power Rate Schedule VA-3-A

    Availability: This rate schedule shall be available to public 
bodies and cooperatives (any one of whom is hereinafter called the 
Customer) in Virginia and North Carolina to whom power may be 
scheduled pursuant to contracts between the Government, Virginia 
Electric and Power Company (hereinafter called the Company), the 
Company's Transmission Operator, currently PJM Interconnection LLC 
(hereinafter called PJM), and the Customer. The Government is 
responsible for providing the scheduling. The Customer is 
responsible for providing a transmission arrangement. Nothing in 
this rate schedule shall preclude modifications to the 
aforementioned contracts to allow an eligible customer to elect 
service under another rate schedule.
    Applicability: This rate schedule shall be applicable to the 
sale at wholesale of power and accompanying energy generated at the 
John H. Kerr and Philpott Projects (hereinafter called the Projects) 
and sold under appropriate contracts between the Government and the 
Customer.
    Character of Service: The electric capacity and energy supplied 
hereunder will be delivered at the Projects.
    Monthly Rate: The monthly rate for capacity, energy, and 
generation services provided under this rate schedule for the period 
specified shall be:
    Capacity Charge: $2.35 per kilowatt of total contract demand per 
month.
    Energy Charge: 9.38 mills per kilowatt-hour.
    The Capacity Charge and the Energy Charge will be subject to 
annual adjustment on January 1 of each year based on transfers to 
plant in service for the preceding Fiscal Year that are not included 
in the proposed

repayment study. The adjustment will be for each increase of 
$1,000,000 to plant in service an increase of $0.01 per kilowatt per 
month added to the capacity charge and 0.04 mills per kilowatt-hour 
added to the energy charge.
    Additional rates for Transmission and Ancillary Services 
provided under this rate schedule shall be the rates charged 
Southeastern Power Administration by the Company or PJM. Future 
adjustments to these rates will become effective upon acceptance for 
filing by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of the Company's 
rate.
    Ancillary Services: 3.63 mills per kilowatt-hour of energy as of 
February 2006, is presented for illustrative purposes.
    The initial charge for transmission and ancillary services will 
be the Customer's ratable share of the charges for transmission, 
distribution, and ancillary services paid by the Government. The 
charges for transmission and ancillary services are governed by and 
subject to refund based upon the determination in proceedings before 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) involving the 
Company's or PJM's Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).
    Proceedings before FERC involving the OATT or the Distribution 
charge may result in the separation of charges currently included in 
the transmission rate. In this event, the Government may charge the 
Customer for any and all separate transmission, ancillary services, 
and distribution charges paid by the Government in behalf of the 
Customer. These charges could be recovered through a capacity charge 
or an energy charge, as determined by the Government.
    Tandem Transmission Charge: $1.69 per kilowatt of total contract 
demand per month, as an estimated cost as of February 2006.
    The tandem transmission charge will recover the cost of 
transmitting power from a project to the border of another 
transmitting system. This rate will be a formulary rate based on the 
cost to the Government for transmission of power from the Philpott 
project to the border of the Virginia Electric and Power Company 
System and the cost to the Government for transmission of power from 
the John H. Kerr Project to the border of the Carolina Power & Light 
System. These charges could be recovered through a capacity charge 
or an energy charge, as determined by the Government.
    Transmission and Ancillary Services: The charges for 
Transmission and Ancillary Services shall be governed by and subject 
to refund based upon the determination in the proceeding involving 
the Company's or PJM's Open Access Transmission Tariff.
    Contract Demand: The contract demand is the amount of capacity 
in kilowatts stated in the contract which the Government is 
obligated to supply and the Customer is entitled to receive.
    Energy to be Furnished by the Government: The Government will 
sell to the Customer and the Customer will purchase from the 
Government energy each billing month equivalent to a percentage 
specified by contract of the energy made available to the Company 
(less applicable losses). The Customer's contract demand and 
accompanying energy will be allocated proportionately to its 
individual delivery points served from the Company's system. The 
applicable energy loss factor for transmission is specified in the 
OATT.
    These losses shall be effective until modified by the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, pursuant to application by the Company 
or PJM under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act or Southeastern 
Power Administration under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act or 
otherwise.
    Billing Month: The billing month for power sold under this 
schedule shall end at 12 midnight on the last day of each calendar 
month.
