rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
comport with the rate case procedural
rule prohibiting ex parte
communications, BPA will provide the
prescribed notice of meetings involving
rate case issues in order to permit the
opportunity for participation by all rate
case parties. These meetings may be
held on very short notice. Consequently,
parties should be prepared to devote the
necessary resources to participate fully
in every aspect of the rate proceeding
and attend meetings any day during the
course of the rate case.
Part IV—The Tiered Rate Methodology
The TRM establishes a predictable
and durable means by which to tier and
calculate BPA’s Priority Firm (PF)
power rate. Specific determinations of
rate levels will be made in each general
rate case in a manner consistent with
the TRM in the respective section 7(i)
proceedings applicable during the term
of this TRM. Tiered PF rates will be
implemented beginning in FY 2012
when power deliveries under new
contracts commence. The TRM provides
for a two-tiered PF rate design
applicable to requirements firm power
service for those customers that
participate in the contracts that provide
for tiered rate service. Tiered rate design
differentiates between the costs of
service associated with the existing
Federal system (Tier 1) and the cost
associated with additional amounts of
power needed to serve the remaining
portion of customers’ net requirements
(Tier 2). This TRM specifies how rates
will be developed that assure to the
extent possible that customers will be
able to purchase Tier 1 power that does
not include the costs of serving other
customers’ load growth.
The TRM addresses: (1) How to
determine a customer’s eligibility to
purchase power at Tier 1 rates; (2) how
to determine the amount of power to be
charged at Tier 1 rates; (3) how costs
will be allocated to the PF Tier 1 and
Tier 2 rate pools; (4) how rates for Tier
1 and Tier 2 sales will be designed; and
(5) how rates for resource support
services will be designed.
The cost allocation and rate design
methods will be implemented in each
BPA power rate case during the term of
the Regional Dialogue contracts, except
under limited circumstances. Power
rates will be calculated on a two-year
cycle under the TRM.
Rate Period High Water Marks
(RHWM), determined according to this
TRM, are the basis for separating which
portion of each customer’s net
requirements purchase from BPA is
charged Tier 1 rates and which is
charged Tier 2 rates. Each customer may
purchase up to its RHWM, limited by its
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
net requirement, at Tier 1 rates. To meet
its above-RHWM load, a customer may
purchase Federal power, procure nonFederal power or both. To the extent a
customer purchases Federal power to
meet its above RHWH load, a PF Tier 2
rate will be applied to the Federal
power service.
BPA will limit the sum of all RHWMs
to the planned firm power output of the
existing Federal system as it is currently
defined, plus a limited amount of
augmentation.
For purposes of the TRM, BPA will
calculate the projected amounts of
Federal system resource output, contract
purchases, and contract obligations
necessary for developing tiered rates for
each rate period. The projected output
of resources assigned to each rate tier
will be used in the determination of
RHWMs, which will be incorporated in
the ratemaking process.
In each applicable rate proposal, BPA
will allocate all of its costs into three
cost pools for determining Tier 1 rates
and a number of Tier 2 cost pools
corresponding to the Tier 2 rate
alternatives that customers have
selected.
In each rate case, BPA will define risk
mitigation mechanisms and set rates to
support BPA’s then-current Agency
financial risk standard(s). The Agency
financial risk standard(s) is (are) set in
BPA’s 10-Year Financial Plan, or its
successor, subject to any required
review in a 7(i) rate proceeding.
The proposed TRM includes a rate
design for Tier 1 rates that includes
three components: Customer charges,
demand rates and load shaping rates.
However, there are significant changes
in the billing determinants to which
these rates apply from BPA’s current
rate structure. There will be three
customer charges, only two of which
will be applicable to any particular
product selected by the customer. The
Composite Customer Charge and the
Non-Slice Customer Charge will be
applicable to purchasers of the Load
Following and Block products,
including the block portion of the Slice/
Block product. The Composite Customer
Charge and the Slice Customer Charge
will be applicable to purchasers of the
Slice portion of the Slice/Block product.
The Demand Charge will apply to Load
Following and Block with Shaping
Capacity purchasers and will be charged
to a portion of each customer’s
maximum hourly load in each month.
The Load Shaping Charge will apply to
Load Following and Block purchasers
and will be charged to a portion of each
customer’s energy load during each
diurnal period of each month.
