    Wholesale Power Rate Schedule SOCO-1
    
    Availability
    
        This rate schedule shall be available to public bodies and 
    cooperatives (any one of whom is hereinafter called the Customer) in 
    Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida to whom power may be 
    transmitted and scheduled pursuant to contracts between the Government 
    and Southern Company Services, Incorporated (hereinafter called the 
    Company) and the Customer. Nothing in this rate schedule shall preclude 
    modifications to the aforementioned contracts to allow an eligible 
    customer to elect service under another rate schedule.
    
    Applicability
    
        This rate schedule shall be applicable to the sale at wholesale of 
    power and accompanying energy generated at the Allatoona, Buford, J. 
    Strom Thurmond, Walter F. George, Hartwell, Millers Ferry, West Point, 
    Robert F. Henry, Carters and Richard B. Russell Projects and sold under 
    appropriate contracts between the Government and the Customer. This 
    rate schedule does not apply to energy from pumping operations at the 
    Carters and Richard B. Russell Projects.
    
    Character of Service
    
        The electric capacity and energy supplied hereunder will be 
    delivered at the delivery points of the Customer on the Company's 
    transmission and distribution system.
    
    Monthly Rate
    
        The monthly rate for capacity, energy, and generation services 
    provided under this rate schedule for the period specified shall be:
    
    Capacity Charge:
        $2.66 Per kilowatt of total contract demand per month.
    Energy Charge:
        7.21 Mills per kilowatt-hour.
    Generation Services:
        $0.03 Per kilowatt of total contract demand per month.
    
        Additional rates for Transmission, System Control, Reactive, and 
    Regulation Services provided under this rate schedule shall be the 
    rates charged Southeastern Power Administration by the Company. Future 
    adjustments to these rates will become effective upon acceptance for 
    filing by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission of the Company's 
    rate.
    
    Transmission
    
        $1.71 Per kilowatt of total contract demand per month as of 
    February 1998 is presented for illustrative purposes.
        The initial transmission charge will be the Customer's ratable 
    share of the Transmission and Distribution Charges paid by the 
    Government. The initial monthly transmission demand charge
    
    [[Page 59976]]
    
    shall be determined by multiplying the Government's Load Ratio Share 
    time one twelfth (\1/12\) of Southern Companies' Annual Transmission 
    Costs as specified in Schedule 1 of the Government-Company Contract. 
    The transmission charges are governed by and subject to refund based 
    upon the determination in proceedings before the Federal Energy 
    Regulatory Commission (FERC) involving Southern Companies' Open Access 
    Transmission Tariff (OAT). The distribution charges may be modified by 
    FERC pursuant to application by the Company under Section 205 of the 
    Federal Power Act or the Government under Section 206 of the Federal 
    Power Act.
        Proceedings before FERC involving the OAT or the Distribution 
    charge may result in the separation of charges currently included in 
    the transmission rate. In this event, the Government may charge the 
    Customer for any and all separate transmission and distribution charges 
    paid by the Government in behalf of the Customer.
    
    Scheduling, System Control and Dispatch Service:
        $0.07658  x  (1154/1464) Per kilowatt of total contract demand per

        The Government will sell to the Customer and the Customer will 
    purchase from the Government energy each billing month equivalent to a 
    percentage specified by contract of the energy made available to the

    contract demand and accompanying energy will be allocated 
    proportionately to its individual delivery points served from the 
    Company's system. These losses shall be effective until modified by the 
    Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, pursuant to application by the 
    Company under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act or SEPA under

    in the contract which the Government is obligated to supply and the 
    Customer is entitled to receive.
    
    Energy to be Furnished by the Government
    
        The Government will sell to the Customer and the Customer will 
    purchase from the Government energy each billing month equivalent to a 
    percentage specified by contract of the energy made available to the 
    Authority (less applicable losses).

        When energy delivery to the Customer's system for the account of 
    the Government is reduced or interrupted, and such reduction or 
    interruption is not due to conditions on the Customer's system, the 
    demand charge for the month shall be appropriately reduced as to 
    kilowatts of such capacity which have been interrupted or reduced for 
    each day in accordance with the following formula:
