SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC), by order issued March 6, 2002,
confirmed and approved Rate Schedules
VA–1, VA–2, VA–3, VA–4, CP&L–1,
CP&L–2, CP&L–3, C:&L–4, AP–1, AP–2,
AP–3, AP–4, and NC–1 for the period
October 1, 2001, to September 30, 2006.
A current repayment study prepared in
February of 2006 shows that existing
rates are not adequate to recover all
costs required by present repayment
criteria. Southeastern is proposing new
rates to recoup these unrecovered costs.
A revised repayment study with a
revenue increase of $4,815,000 in Fiscal
Year 2007 and all future years over the
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
current repayment study shows that all
costs are repaid within their service life.
Therefore, Southeastern is proposing to
revise the existing rates to generate this
additional revenue. The increase is
primarily due to costs associated with
the rehabilitation of the John H. Kerr
Project currently underway. The rate
adjustment is an increase of about 42
percent.
Proposed Unit Rates
Under the proposed rates, the
capacity charge will increase from the
current $1.96 per kilowatt per month to
$3.17 per kilowatt per month. The
energy charge will increase from the
current 8.25 mills per kilowatt-hour to
12.66 mills per kilowatt-hour. In
addition, Southeastern proposes to
continue a Tandem Transmission rate,
which is designed to recover the cost of
transmitting power from a project to the
border of another transmitting system.
This rate is to be a formulary passthrough rate based on the charges by
transmission facilitators and is
estimated to be $1.69 per kilowatt per
month.
Southeastern is proposing the
following rate schedules to be effective
for the period from October 1, 2006, to
September 30, 2011.

cooperatives in Virginia and North
