Background and Reason for Filing. On December 20, 2018, UAMPS and PacifiCorp entered into a Project Construction Agreement UAMPS – Xxxxxx Temporary Transmission Tap (“Original Temporary Transmission Tap Project Construction Agreement”). The Original Temporary Transmission Tap Project Construction Agreement governed PacifiCorp’s construction of, and service from, a temporary tap line, which runs from PacifiCorp’s Morgan City substation to UAMPS member Morgan City’s adjacent Island Road substation (the “Temporary Project Facilities”). On December 21, 2018, PacifiCorp filed the Original Temporary Transmission Tap Project Construction Agreement as PacifiCorp Rate Schedule No. 742, in Docket No. ER19-649. On February 12, 2019, the 1 16 U.S.C. § 824d (2018). 2 18 C.F.R. Part 35 (2022). 3 Elec. Tariff Filings, Order No. 714, 124 FERC ¶ 61,270 (2008), clarified, Order No. 714-A, 147 FERC ¶ 61,115 (2014). Commission accepted the Original Temporary Transmission Tap Project Construction Agreement, effective December 24, 2018.4 The Original Temporary Transmission Tap Project Construction was subsequently revised by mutual agreement of the parties (the “First Revised Construction Agreement”) to extend the term until ninety days after completion of construction, initiation of service, and removal of the Temporary Project Facilities. PacifiCorp filed with the First Revised Construction Agreement with Commission on October 22, 2019 in in Docket No. ER20-165 as First Revised Rate Schedule No. 742. On November 27, 2019, the Commission issued a letter order accepting the revised agreement, effective December 22, 2019.5 UAMPS and PacifiCorp have revised the First Revised Construction Agreement, which allows UAMPS’ member, Morgan City, to continue to use the Temporary Project Facilities until PacifiCorp determines it needs to expand the Morgan City substation or that other work requires the removal of the Temporary Project Facilities. If either of these determinations are made, the Second Revised Construction Agreement sets forth the options that UAMPS can elect to follow, which are: (1) move forward with a new point of delivery project; (2) request interconnection of a tap line to the north of PacifiCorp’s Morgan City substation; or (3) provide interconnection from within UAMPS’ own transmission system. Once UAMPS provides notice to PacifiCorp of its election, PacifiCorp will file a notice of termination of the Section Construction Agreement with the Commission.
