Description of Filing. To facilitate the fulfilment of MEC’s obligations as a Local Balancing Authority (“LBA”) operator, MEC requests entities that operate energy facilities located within the MEC LBA to enter into a LBA agreement. The RLBAA is required due to Upland Prairie, LLC executing a Generator Interconnection Agreement with MEC and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. (“MISO”), for a wind farm to be engaged in the generation and sale of electric power and energy within the MEC LBA. IPL has subsequently acquired the rights, title and interest in this wind farm. The wind farm will be operated in coordination with the MISO Balancing Authority as a resource physically located in the MEC LBA area, but through dynamic metering/scheduling, effectively located in the Alliant West Local Balancing Authority (“ALTW LBA”) Area. The RLBAA outlines the framework for the coordination and communication of operational and metering information between MEC and IPL in support of MEC’s functions as the MEC LBA.

Description of Filing. East River has asked NorthWestern to design and construct a new 115-kV terminal in NorthWestern’s Napa Junction 115-kV Switchyard near Yankton, South Dakota. The Napa Junction Switchyard is a three-terminal ring bus design, intended for ultimate build-out to a six- terminal ring bus switchyard. Based on East River’s request, the Napa Junction Switchyard will be built out to accommodate a fourth 115-kV terminal that will also be owned and operated by NorthWestern. Exhibit 1 to the Agreement sets forth the specifications and description of the project. NorthWestern will develop the detailed design package, procure the associated materials, and construct and energize all transmission line modifications. NorthWestern estimated East River’s costs for the project to be $149,317 (Section 3.1 & Exhibit 1). These costs represent NorthWestern’s actual costs in providing the requested services. Accordingly, there is no profit component to this Agreement. NorthWestern has not invoiced East River or received any payment under this Agreement. NorthWestern plans to begin work on this project in 2020-Q4 in order to meet the Milestone Schedule outlined in Exhibit 2.
Description of Filing. Georgia Power Company is proposing to revise the project boundary by sale of approximately 7.948 acres that is adjacent to Lake Oliver to Xx. Xxxxxx Xxxx.
Description of Filing. In Order No. 888, the Commission explained that a transmission customer may request that the transmission provider effect a reassignment on the customer’s behalf.6 In this situation, the transmission provider “must immediately post the available capacity on its OASIS” and “must assure that any revenues associated with the reassignment are credited to the assignor.”7 In addition, the “assignor may request the transmission provider to provide the billing and payment services for the reassignment.”8 Consistent with this policy, the Agency Agreement describes APS Transmission’s agreement to effect reassignments on SCE’s behalf. For example, section 1 of the Agency Agreement provides that Edison “shall, through the APS OASIS, post for remarketing by APS Transmission to third parties the Remaining Rights and that “[e]ach assignment of the Remaining Rights shall take place through the APS OASIS and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the [Resale] Tariff.” The Agency Agreement further provides that APS Transmission must use its best efforts to offer the Remaining Rights at rates that will maximize the revenues to SCE from the Remaining Rights. However, APS Transmission’s offer to reassign SCE’s capacity must meet the terms and conditions of the Resale Tariff, which cap the rate for reassignments of SCE’s capacity at the existing long-term firm point- to-point transmission rate under the APS Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”).9 SCE’s existing service under the EATA may be curtailed to provide emergency service in accordance with the Edison-Navajo Transmission Agreement. As a result, as reflected in Sections 2 and 4 of the Agency Agreement, reassignments of SCE’s transmission capacity under the EATA must also be subject to this limitation. The Agency Agreement also reflects provisions of the Resale Tariff permitting continuation of service for assignees,10 stating that any SCE rollover rights shall be offered to customers taking assignments of the Remaining Rights for periods of five years or more.11
Description of Filing. NorthWestern and the City of Xxxxxx have entered into a Purchase Agreement under which the City will purchase certain transmission facilities from NorthWestern. These facilities are at a defined point of interconnection in the existing ESA between NorthWestern and East River.5 In order to maintain the ability of both NorthWestern and East River to provide emergency transmission to each other over the facilities to be transferred to the City, NorthWestern, East River, and the City of Xxxxxx have entered into a new three-party ESA. This ESA is substantially similar to the existing two-party ESA between NorthWestern and East River. 4 NorthWestern Corp., ER10-41-001 (Jan. 11, 2010) (delegated letter order). 5 Accession No. 20091009-0040, Exhibit A, “Xxxxxx Interconnection.” The new three-party ESA outlines the responsibilities of the parties, the use and operation of the facilities at the Xxxxxx Interconnection, transmission of power and energy when emergency-type service is required, meter testing, and procedures for requesting emergency-type service. The ESA will continue indefinitely until canceled by a party providing 24 months’ written notice.
Description of Filing. NorthWestern is constructing a new 115-kV switchyard to replace its current Aberdeen A-Tap switching station located west of Aberdeen, South Dakota. The new switchyard was originally intended to be configured as a three-breaker, three-bay, 115-kV ring bus. However, based on East River’s request, the new switchyard will be designed and constructed as a six-breaker, four- bay, 115-kV, breaker-and-a-half bus. Exhibit 1 to the Agreement sets forth the specifications and description of the project. NorthWestern will develop the detailed design package, procure the associated equipment and materials, and construct and energize the new Aberdeen A-Tap Switchyard. The costs associated with design and construction of the new switchyard, development of the detailed design package, construction oversight, and general planning will be shared between East River and NorthWestern, as shown in Exhibit 1. NorthWestern estimated East River’s share of the costs for the project to be $1,183,366 (Section 3.1 & Exhibit 1). These costs represent NorthWestern’s actual costs in providing the requested services. Accordingly, there is no profit component to this Agreement. NorthWestern has not invoiced East River or received any payment under this Agreement. NorthWestern plans to begin work on this project immediately in order to meet the Milestone Schedule outlined in Exhibit 2.
Description of Filing. On July 18, 2014, in Docket No. ER14-2462-000 PJM submitted for filing the Original OffshoreMW Agreements (“July 18 Filing”). PJM requested an effective date of June 17, 2014 for these agreements. In the July 18 Filing, PJM explained that the Original OffshoreMW Agreements did not conform to the form of ISA set forth in Attachment O to the PJM Tariff (“ISA Form”) and the form of CSA set forth in Attachment P to the PJM Tariff (“CSA Form”).3 Specifically, the Original OffshoreMW Agreements did not contain section A.iv regarding the reporting of meteorological data in Schedule H of the Original OffshoreMW ISA and Schedule N of the Original OffshoreMW CSA, which are identical. PJM explained that the Original OffshoreMW Agreements did not contain section A.iv because the agreements were tendered to OffshoreMW prior to the effective date of the PJM Tariff revisions adding section A.iv to Schedule H of the ISA Form and 2 Interconnection Service Agreement By and Among PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. And OffshoreMW, L.L.C. And Atlantic City Electric Company, designated as Original Service Agreement No. 3899 (“Original OffshoreMW ISA”) and Interconnection Construction Service Agreement By and Among PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. And OffshoreMW, L.L.C. And Atlantic City Electric Company, designated as Original Service Agreement No. 3900 (“Original OffshoreMW CSA”) (together, “Original OffshoreMW Agreements”).
