Re: Partial Requirements Service
Dear Xx. Xxxxx:
Southwestern Public Service Company ("SPS") has an interconnection agreement
with El Paso Electric Company ("EPE"). Service Schedule E attached to this
interconnection agreement provides for firm power service from SPS to EPE. This
service schedule currently provides for EPE to purchase a minimum of 75,000 KW
during the contract year of 1997.
This letter agreement shall modify Service Schedule E, attached to the
interconnection agreement in order to change EPE's purchase requirement to a
minimum of 35,000 KW for the 1997 contract year. Specifically, SPS shall modify
Service Schedule E as follows:
Section 2.2 This Service Schedule E shall remain effective through
December 31, 1997, and shall be extended month to month thereafter until
canceled by either Party upon a minimum of thirty (30) days prior written
notice to the other Party.
Section 3.1. The minimum Firm Power Commitment for Contract Years
beginning on the Effective Date through December 31, 1997, shall be as
follows:
