Administration—Jim Woodruff Project
Power Rates
Order Confirming and Approving
Power Rates on an Interim Basis
Pursuant to Sections 302(a) of the
Department of Energy Organization Act,
Public Law 95–91, the functions of the
Secretary of the Interior and the Federal
Power Commission under Section 5 of
the Flood Control Act of 1944, 16 U.S.C.
825s, relating to the Southeastern Power
Administration (‘‘Southeastern’’ or
‘‘SEPA’’) were transferred to and vested
in the Secretary of Energy. By
Delegation Order No. 00–037.00,
effective December 6, 2001, the
Secretary of Energy delegated to
Southeastern’s Administrator the
authority to develop power and
transmission rates, delegated to the
Deputy Secretary of Energy the
authority to confirm, approve, and place
in effect such rates on an interim basis,
and delegated to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the authority to
confirm, approve, and place into effect
on a final basis or to disapprove rates
developed by the Administrator under
the delegation. This rate order is issued
by the Deputy Secretary pursuant to
said delegation.
Background
Power from the Jim Woodruff Project
is presently sold under Wholesale
Power Rate Schedules JW–1–I and JW–
2–F. These rate schedules were
approved by the Commission on April
15, 2010, for a period ending September
19, 2014 (131 FERC ¶62,044).
Public Notice and Comment
Southeastern prepared a Power
Repayment Study, dated January 2011,
showing revenues at current rates were
adequate to meet repayment criteria.
However, the Jim Woodruff preference
customers asked Southeastern to revise
the rates to include a pass-through of
purchased power expenses. The
proposed capacity and energy charge
reduction to the preference customers
will be completely recovered through
this separate, pass-through charge to the
affected customers. This rate structure
revision will result in no net loss of
revenue and will fully meet system
repayment criteria. On February 17,

2011, by Federal Register notice (76 FR
9349), Southeastern proposed a rate
adjustment. The notice also announced
a Public Information and Comment
Forum to be held March 29, 2011, in
Tallahassee, Florida. Three parties
asked questions at the forum. Responses
to the questions are part of the written
record of the forum, and a transcript of
the forum is available at Southeastern
Power Administration (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section). The
transcript of the forum is part of the
record to be filed with the Commission
and will be available on the
Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov. Written comments were
accepted on or before May 18, 2011.
Written comments were received from
one source the Southeastern Federal
Power Customers.
Staff Review of Comments
Written comments received from the
Southeastern Federal Power Customers
are summarized below. Southeastern’s
response follows each comment.
Comment 1: The Jim Woodruff
preference customers support the
revised rate design SEPA has prepared.
Response 1: The rate schedules
Southeastern will propose to the Deputy
Secretary will include the pass-through
of purchased power expenses as
discussed with the preference
customers.
Comment 2: While the preference
customers of the Jim Woodruff support
the overall rate structure, including the
new pass through mechanism for
purchased power expenses, they have
concerns regarding the assumptions for
the Operations and Maintenance
(‘‘O&M’’) expenses. In materials
provided by SEPA on April 25th, the
Corps 2011 projections revealed
projected expenses for joint activities
not specific to a single business function
had increased by more than three
hundred percent for each year until
2015. While preference customers
throughout the Southeast have long
questioned the practices of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (‘‘Corps’’) in
assigning various costs of the Corps
program to this ‘‘catch-all’’ account,
there appears to be no basis for a three
hundred percent increase in joint use
costs.
Response 2: From fiscal year 2009 to
fiscal year 2010, Joint O&M allocated to
power increased from $664,000 to
$1,653,000, primarily as a result of
improvement projects funded by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act. The estimated Joint O&M allocated
to power included in the repayment
study used to support the proposed
rates, set forth below, are similar to the
