SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) by order issued June 30, 2011 (135 FERC ¶ 62,267), confirmed and approved on a final basis Wholesale Power Rate Schedules SOCO–1–D, SOCO–2–D, SOCO–3–D, SOCO–4–D, ALA–1–M, MISS–1–M, Duke-1–D, Duke-2–D, Duke-3–D, Duke-4–D, Santee-1–D, Santee-2–D, Santee-3–D, Santee-4–D, SCE&G–1–D, SCE&G–2–D, SCE&G–3–D, SCE&G–4–D, Pump-1–A, Pump-2, Regulation-1, and Replacement-1 applicable to GeorgiaAlabama-South Carolina System of Projects’ power for a period ending September 30, 2015. Discussion: Existing rate schedules are predicated upon a July 2010 repayment study and other supporting data. A repayment study prepared in February of 2012 shows that existing rates are not adequate to meet repayment criteria. This is due primarily to revenue from stream-flow energy that has been less than previously estimated as a result of PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 below average water conditions, and increased U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Operation & Maintenance expenses. The revised repayment study shows that a revenue increase of $21,913,000 in fiscal year 2013 and all future years over the current repayment study will result in all costs being repaid within the term of these rate schedules or their service life. Therefore, Southeastern is proposing to revise the existing rates to generate this additional revenue. The rate adjustment is an increase of about ten percent (10%) in the revenue requirement and fifteen percent (15%) in the rates for capacity and energy. Southeastern is proposing the following rate schedules to be effective for the period from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2017. Rate Schedule SOCO–1–E Available to public bodies and cooperatives in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida to whom power may be wheeled and scheduled pursuant to contracts between the Government and Southern Company Services, Incorporated. Rate Schedule SOCO–2–E Available to public bodies and cooperatives in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida to whom power may be wheeled pursuant to contracts between the Government and Southern Company Services, Incorporated. The customer is responsible for providing a scheduling arrangement with the Government. Rate Schedule SOCO–3–E Available to public bodies and cooperatives in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida to whom power may be scheduled pursuant to contracts between the Government and Southern Company Services, Incorporated. The customer is responsible for providing a transmission arrangement. Rate Schedule SOCO–4–E Available to public bodies and cooperatives in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida served through the transmission facilities of Southern Company Services, Inc. The customer is responsible for providing a scheduling arrangement with the Government and for providing a transmission arrangement. Rate Schedule ALA–1–N Available to PowerSouth Energy Cooperative.
