access transmission (OAT) service rate and in certain non-rate
provisions of the OAT Tariff (the Filing). NYSEG has also proposed rate
changes for certain other rate schedules, detailed below.
OAT Rate and Tariff Changes
Rates for service under the OAT Tariff are proposed as follows:
(1) Basic transmission rate: increased from $2.83 to $3.91 per kW-
month;
(2) Scheduling, System Control & Dispatch: increased from $0.00 to
$0.06/kW-month;
(3) Reactive Supply & Voltage Control: decrease from $0.10 to $0.09/
kW-month;
(4) Regulation and Frequency Response Service: increase from $0.12
to $0.13/kW-month;
(5) Spinning Reserve Service: decrease from $0.33 to $0.30/kW-month;
(6) Supplemental Reserve Service: decrease from $0.21 to $0.19/kW-
month.
Since there are no current applications for firm transmission
service under the Open Access Transmission Tariff (Tariff), no
estimated changes in revenue from the Tariff can be provided. The
foregoing
[[Page 19570]]
rate changes are a function of changes in the level of service upon
which the rates are calculated and certain other changes in cost
levels.
NYSEG has also proposed changes to the non-rate terms and
conditions of the Tariff. The Tariff sections containing amended terms
and conditions are as follows: Section 1 (definition of New York Power
Pool); Section 10 (adds tariff features relating to NYSEG's liability
for service under the Tariff); Sections 17.2 and 18.2 (specifies two
additional requirements for the submission of a completed application
for point-to-point service and provides for a confidentiality
agreement); Section 29.1 (makes creditworthiness standards which are
required to be met by point-to-point customers also required of network
customers); Sections 36.1 through 36.2 (makes the installation of
metering equipment mandatory for network transmission service and adds
the requirement that metering data be made available to NYSEG); Section
36.3 (requires customers to maintain a power factor within the same
range as NYSEG); Service Agreements for both point-to-point and network
service are amended (adding provisions related to ancillary services,
penalties and a clarification providing that the Tariff is incorporated
in the service agreements as it is amended from time-to-time). Finally,
Attachment J, Methodology for the Calculation of Redispatch Costs was
added.
Additional Rate Schedule Changes
The Filing also contains a request for rate changes to FERC Rate
Schedules 36, 67, 70, 80 and 84 under which the Company supplies firm
electric transmission service to the New York Power Authority (NYPA)
for the benefit of a group of municipalities and rural electric
cooperatives within and outside New York State, including Allegheny
Electric Cooperative Inc. and American Municipal Power--Ohio.
The transmission rate for in-state municipals under Rate Schedules
67, 70, and 80, would increase from $3.12/kW-month to $4.74 /kW-month
of contract demand. The rate for out-of-state municipals under Rate
Schedules 36 and 84 would increase from $3.05/kW-month to $4.12/kW-
