In the Matter of:
Southeastern Power Administration, Kerr-Philpott System Power Rates; Rate Order No. SEPA-52
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), 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, to the Deputy Secretary of Energy the authority to confirm, approve, and place in effect such rates on interim basis, and to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) 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 is issued by the Deputy Secretary pursuant to that delegation order.
Background
Power from the Kerr-Philpott Projects is presently sold under Wholesale Power Rate Schedules VA-1-A, VA-2-A, VA-3-A, VA-4-A, CP&L-1-A, CP&L-2-A, CP&L-3-A, CP&L-4-A, AP-1-A, AP-2-A, AP-3-A, AP-4-A, NC-1-A, and Replacement-2. These rate schedules were approved by the FERC on December 8, 2006, for a period ending Septe mber 30, 2011 (117 FERC ¶62,220).
Public Notice and Comment
Notice of a proposed rate adjustment for the Kerr-Philpott System was published in the Federal Register February 22, 2010 (75 FR 7580). The notice advised interested parties that a public information and comment forum would be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, on March 30, 2010. One party, representing the Southeastern Federal Power Customers, Inc. (SeFPC), made comments at the forum. Written comments were due on or before May 24, 2010. Southeastern received written comments from one party, the SeFPC.
SeFPC's comments have been condensed into the following 3 major categories:
1. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Expense
2. Revenue Tracking
3. True-Up Mechanisms
Southeastern's response follows each comment.
Category 1: Corps O&M
Comment 1: The SeFPC believes the repayment study includes costs for the Corps' joint O&M that have been improperly assigned to the hydropower function. Furthermore, SeFPC believes that the amount of O&M expense set forth in the repayment study for the Corps joint O&M expense is overstated. In fact, the projected overall O&M expense for fiscal year (FY) 2010 is likely overstated in light of the fact that Congress cut appropriations for O&M at the Kerr and Philpott Projects in the most recent Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill.
Comment 2: The SeFPC members served by the Kerr-Philpott system of Start Printed Page 57921 projects have concerns regarding the level of O&M that Southeastern modeled for the current fiscal year 2010. Aside from the larger disagreement on the Corps improperly assigning costs to hydropower for recovery, the customers believe that in the current repayment study Southeastern has overstated the amount that the Corps will spend on O&M in the current fiscal year. During the forum, SeFPC explained that the Corps budget for O&M was cut for 2010, which should lead to a reduced amount of actual expenditure for the current fiscal year.
Southeastern, however, had modeled the level of Corps O&M, based on a projection for 2010 that was over one year old. In fact, in reviewing the most up to date information, the Corps has indeed revised its calculations revealing that the overall O&M expense allocated to hydropower in FY 2010 will be $1.5 million less than estimated at this time last year. Furthermore, the overall O&M expense for 2011 is now projected to be $2 million less in FY 2011 than what Southeastern modeled for the repayment study.
However, the repayment study that currently supports the rate increase as noticed in the Federal Register contains Corps O&M projected expenses that are based on last year's information. Relying on this older vintage information will likely lead Southeastern to recover more than is necessary to cover the O&M expense and require the customers to pay more than is necessary. Therefore, the hydropower customers urge Southeastern to revise the projected O&M expense in the repayment study and include a true-up mechanism in the rate that will track the actual expense.
Response to comments 1 and 2: The Corps provides estimates of O&M expenses for the next five years to the O&M Committee of the SeFPC every April. The new rate schedules for the Kerr-Philpott System were proposed before the latest projections were available. Southeastern has revised the repayment study to include the latest projections provided to the O&M Committee, which allowed Southeastern to lower the proposed rate consistent with SeFPC's comment.
Comment 3: One of the more alarming entries can be found on page 6 of the detailed report of O&M expense for the Kerr Project. For FY 2010, slightly less than $1.4 million has been slated for recovery from the hydropower customers for maintenance for environmental stewardship. The footnote reveals that this entry is for, quote, “remediation of hazardous waste removal (DDT barrels),” end quote. The footnote also indicates that there is a $2.6 million price tag attached to this activity.
But as we begin to look at the estimated cost of the DDT clean-up, we began to wonder why hydropower should bear any of this expense. DDT was used decades ago to control mosquito populations. The direct connection between vector control programs for flying insects and hydropower operations is tenuous at best.
Response 3: Classification of costs as joint or specific to any project purpose is determined by the Corps. The Corps has agreed to review the classification of the DDT clean-up costs. However, the projections used to develop these rates continue to show these costs as joint costs. If the Corps classifies these costs as specific to another purpose, the true-up discussed below will adjust the rates automatically.
Category 2: Revenue Tracking
Comment 4: Our second primary concern involves the modeling of the rate and accounting for revenues that Southeastern expects to receive in FY 2010. With generation patterns well above average for the first part of FY 2010, and record snow pack in parts of the mid-Atlantic region, we believe that generation and the associated revenues will be well above average. The proposed rate, however, is modeled on average generation and an average level of revenues.
Response 4: For the Kerr-Philpott System, energy production for the first six months of FY2010 has been about 188 percent of average. Energy production for the remainder of FY2010 is expected to return to average water conditions. Based on this information, Southeastern assumed that energy product for FY 2010 would be 140 percent of average in the repayment study used to develop these proposed rates.
Category 3: True-up Mechanisms
Comment 5: The customers have developed an interest in pursuing appropriate mechanisms in the rate design to minimize the potential for accumulated deficits, which is our third primary point. Part of this interest is borne from the experience that we have had with the current rate and the true-up mechanism that Southeastern has implemented with regard to the capital additions associated with the ongoing rewind. Drawing upon this experience, the customers would like Southeastern to include a true-up mechanism for revenues and Corps expenses to minimize the potential for deficits to accumulate. At a minimum, a true-up mechanism needs to be adopted for FY 2010, so that it accurately reflects actual revenues and expenses incurred in FY 2010.
Comment 6: While the discussion above encourages Southeastern to adopt a true up mechanism to address both the Corps O&M expenditures and revenues, the customers also encourage Southeastern to adopt, as a function of the new rate, appropriate measures to ensure transparency in the rate making process. First, Southeastern will need to identify the date upon which the rate will change based on prior year's expenditure levels and performance. The beginning of the fiscal year for Southeastern would appear to be the best date possible to implement this annual change.
Second, the customers would need some advance notice of how the rate would change. For some customers, the change in rates will require filing appropriate paperwork with State level commissions. To meet this obligation, the customers ask Southeastern to provide this notice no later than sixty (60) days before the rate would change.
Third, the customers would need publication or any other such suitable notice of the underlying data that led to the change in the rate. If at all possible, the customers would appreciate having this information in advance of the implementation of any change in the rates.
Response to 5 and 6: Based of the comments received, Southeastern has included a true-up in the design of the proposed rates. To meet the customer's request of a sixty (60) day notice and accommodate the existing accounting process, Southeastern will provide notice of the true-up by February 1 of each year and the true-up will take effect on April 1 of each year. Notice will be provided by mail to the customers.
The true-up will work as follows: The base capacity charge will include the rehabilitation true-up adjustment. The proposed initial base capacity charge will be $3.65 per kilowatt per month and the initial base energy charge will be 14.63 mills per kilowatt-hour. The proposed rates are based on a repayment study that projects that the Kerr-Philpott System will produce the following net revenue available for repayment by fiscal year:
Start Printed Page 57922FY 2010 $578,000 FY 2011 2,030,000 FY 2012 1,032,000 FY 2013 825,000 FY 2014 863,000 FY 2015 908,000 Southeastern proposes to establish a true-up of the capacity and energy rates based on the variance of the actual net revenue available for repayment from the planned net revenue available for repayment in the table above. For every $100,000 under-recovery of the planned net revenue available for repayment, Southeastern will increase the base capacity charge by $0.02 per kilowatt per month, up to a maximum of $0.75 per kilowatt per month, and increase the base energy charge by 0.10 mills per kilowatt-hour, up to a maximum of 3.0 mills per kilowatt per hour, to be implemented April 1 of the next fiscal year. For every $100,000 of over-recovery of the planned net revenue available for repayment, Southeastern will reduce the base capacity charge by $0.02 per kilowatt per month, up to a maximum of $0.75 per kilowatt per month, and reduce the base energy charge by 0.10 mills per kilowatt-hour, up to a maximum of 3.0 mills per kilowatt per hour, to be implemented April 1 of the next fiscal year. Southeastern will give notice by mail to the customers of the amount of the true-up to the capacity and energy rates by February 1 of the next fiscal year.
Comment 7: In the last rate structure that Southeastern adopted for the Kerr Philpott system of projects, Southeastern implemented a true up mechanism to track the inclusion of major capital improvements that became commercially operable. This feature saved the customers from paying significant sums in advance of the plant going into commercial operation. The main focus of this cost recovery was on the major rehabilitation effort for the turbines at the Kerr Project.
Although the rehabilitation effort with the turbines is nearing completion, it is clear that the Corps will continue to add major capital investments at the projects. With this anticipated action, the customers ask Southeastern to continue the true up mechanism for the capital additions.
Response 7: Southeastern will continue the true-up mechanism for capital additions, with the revision that the adjustment will take effect on April 1 of each year.
Discussion
System Repayment
An examination of Southeastern's revised system power repayment study, prepared in July 2010, for the Kerr-Philpott System shows that with the proposed rates, all system power costs are paid within the appropriate repayment period required by existing law and DOE Procedure RA 6120.2. The Administrator of Southeastern Power Administration has certified that the rates are consistent with applicable law and that they are the lowest possible rates to customers consistent with sound business principles.
Environmental Impact
Southeastern has reviewed the possible environmental impacts of the rate adjustment under consideration and has concluded that, because the adjusted rates would not significantly affect the quality of the human environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the proposed action is not a major Federal action for which preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is required.
