SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western
proposes to extend the current rate
schedules through September 30, 2019.
A three-year formula rate extension
followed by a five-year formula rate
adjustment process will align with the
end of the 2004 Power Marketing Plan,
allowing Western time to review
existing formula rate methodologies,
solicit input from its customers and
other interested parties, and determine
whether revisions to those
methodologies are warranted. The
existing rates provide sufficient revenue
to repay all annual expenses, including
interest expense, and to repay capital
investments within the allowable
periods, thus ensuring repayment
within the cost recovery criteria set
forth in DOE Order RA 6120.2.
By Delegation Order No. 00–037.00A,
effective October 25, 2013, the Secretary
of Energy delegated: (1) The authority to
develop power and transmission rates to
Western’s Administrator; (2) the
authority to confirm, approve, and place
such rates into effect on an interim basis
to the Deputy Secretary of Energy; and
(3) the authority to confirm, approve,
and place into effect on a final basis, to
remand, or to disapprove such rates to
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC).
FERC confirmed and approved the
existing formula rates defined in Rate
Schedules CV–F13, CPP–2, CV–T3, CV–
NWT5, COTP–T3, PACI–T3, CV–TPT7,
CV–UUP1, CV–SPR4, CV–SUR4, CV–
RFS4, CV–EID4, and CV–GID1, filed
under Rate Order No. WAPA–156,1 on
a final basis for five years through
September 30, 2016.2 In accordance
with 10 CFR 903.23(a), Western
proposes to extend the existing power,
transmission, and ancillary services
formula rates without an adjustment.
The rates and revenue requirements
resulting from the approved formula
rate methodologies are recalculated each
year, based on updated financial and
operational data. Western notifies
customers in writing and posts updated
