WITNESSETH:
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual undertakings herein contained, the Parties agree that the Original Wholesale Power Contract between them be, and hereby is, amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
- 2 -
- 3 -
As used in this Contract, “Points of Delivery,” shall be those points where the system of the Member is connected to the transmission or distribution system that the Seller has ownership of, or right to deliver the Requirements Service through.
The Member shall keep the Seller advised concerning anticipated loads at established Points of Delivery and the need for additional Points of Delivery by furnishing to the Seller each year, on a date to be established by the Seller from time to time and communicated to the Member at least sixty (60) days in advance of any changed date, a revised Exhibit A substantially in the form attached to and made a part of this Contract.
The initial Point or Points of Delivery and their initial delivery voltages shall be as set forth in Exhibit B attached to and made a part of this Contract. Other Points of Delivery and their initial delivery voltages may be established by mutual agreement of the Member and the Seller, and Exhibit B shall be revised accordingly.
- 4 -
Meters and metering equipment shall be, or caused to be, furnished, maintained and read by the Seller. Special equipment furnished at the request of the Member shall be at Member’s expense and shall be listed on Exhibit C.
- 5 -
At least every three (3) years the Seller’s Board of Directors shall review the rate formula set forth in Exhibit D to determine if it reflects and recovers all such costs and expenses and if it represents the best way to allocate such costs and expenses. In making such review, the Board of Directors shall consider if the formula results in the proper price signals to the
- 6 -
Cooperatives. If the Board of Directors determines that the formula no longer reflects and recovers, or does not allocate appropriately, such costs and expenses, the Board of Directors shall, within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, adopt a new formula to reflect appropriately and recover all such costs and expenses.
- 7 -
The costs of all tests shall be borne by the Seller; however, if a special meter test made at the Member’s request shall disclose that the meters are recording accurately, the Member shall reimburse the Seller for the cost of such test. Meters registering not more than two percent (2%) above or below normal shall be deemed accurate. The readings of any meter which shall have been disclosed by test to be inaccurate shall be corrected for the period the inaccuracy is known, or for a mutually agreed upon period, or lacking knowledge or agreement, a period of ninety (90) days from the date of discovery of such inaccuracy or malfunction in accordance with the percentage of inaccuracy found by such test. If any meter shall fail to register for any period, the Member and the Seller shall agree as to the amount of Requirements Service during such period, and the Seller shall render a bill for that amount.
In the event of a power shortage, or an adverse condition or disturbance, the Seller may, without incurring liability, take such emergency action as, in the judgment of the Seller, may be necessary. Such emergency action may include, but not be limited to, reduction or interruption of the supply of electricity to some Points of Delivery in order to compensate for an emergency condition on the system of the Seller, or on any other directly or indirectly interconnected system.

Brief Description of the Service to be Provided
Under the Rate Schedule
Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) is a not-for-profit generation and transmission electric cooperative which supplies power, on a wholesale basis, to its member distribution cooperatives. ODEC's member distribution cooperatives are A&N Electric Cooperative, BARC Electric Cooperative, Choptank Electric Cooperative, Inc., Community Electric Cooperative, Delaware Electric Cooperative, Inc., Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative, Northern Neck Electric Cooperative, Prince Xxxxxx Electric Cooperative, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, and Southside Electric Cooperative. ODEC serves its member distribution cooperatives' power requirements pursuant to long-term, virtually all-requirements wholesale power contracts. ODEC’s member distribution cooperatives, in turn, supply power on a retail basis to their member-owners.
ODEC is owned entirely by its members, which are the primary purchasers of the power ODEC sells. ODEC has two classes of members. ODEC’s Class A members are the eleven member-owned electric distribution cooperatives named above. ODEC’s sole Class B member is TEC Trading, Inc. (TEC), which is a taxable corporation owned by the Class A members. ODEC is governed by its Board of Directors (Board) which includes two representatives from each of ODEC’s member distribution cooperatives and one representative from TEC.
ODEC’s charges to its member distribution cooperatives are determined by the formula rate contained herein, which is applied to the sales of demand and energy made to each of the member distribution cooperatives. The formula rate recovers ODEC’s cost of service, including equity. It collects required revenues based on budgeted cost estimates with true-up mechanisms to ensure that all costs, including Board-approved margins, are collected. Xxxxxxx represent ODEC's equity and are allocated to the member distribution cooperatives. Any difference between budgeted and actual costs is refunded or collected in accordance with this rate schedule. ODEC’s budget is developed annually. The annual budget and any revisions to the budget are approved by the Board.
A. Development and Implementation of the Formula Rate
The process of preparing, reviewing and revising the estimates to be included in the formula rate begins with the development of a calendar year budget which typically is submitted to the Board for its approval by December of the prior year. The approved budget is the basis for ODEC’s revenue requirements and loads which are included in the formula rate. The formula rate will typically be placed into effect January 1, which is the beginning of the budget year.
Throughout the year, ODEC provides its Board with monthly financial reports that compare actual results to budgeted and/or prior year’s actual results, and with information regarding revised estimates of costs and/or loads. If at any time during
1
the year it is determined that the current budget is not an accurate reflection of estimated costs and/or loads, the Board may approve a revised budget which may result in new rates and charges.
The specific steps involved in developing and implementing the formula rate include:
1. Forecasting of Power Supply Requirements
The budgeting process begins with preparation of a projection of the annual loads (kW and kWh) to be supplied by ODEC during the budget period.
2. Development and Approval of the Budget
3. Inclusion of the Budget in the Formula Rate
After the Board's approval of the budget, the resulting estimated loads and costs are included in the formula rate contained herein.
B. True-up Mechanisms
1. Margin Stabilization
Any differential between total demand revenues collected for Transmission Service, RTO Capacity Service and Remaining Owned Capacity Service under the formula and demand costs incurred for those services in the period is allocated to each member distribution cooperative as follows: (1) for Transmission Service, based on the member distribution cooperative’s contribution to the single zonal coincident peak (1 CP) for the previous PJM Transmission Year, within each of the PJM Transmission Zones, as defined in Section III.A.1.a.; (2) for RTO Capacity Service, on the basis of each member distribution cooperative’s contribution to the prior PJM Capacity Year average of the five hourly CPs (5 CP), as defined in Section III A.1.b.; and (3) for Remaining Owned Capacity Service based on Remaining Owned Capacity Service demand billing units as defined in Section III.A.1.d.
2
Margin stabilization is refunded to, or collected from, each member distribution cooperative in subsequent periods.
2. Deferred Energy
Any differential between total energy revenues collected under the formula rate and actual energy costs incurred for the period is included in FERC Account 555 and accumulated on the balance sheet as Deferred Energy. Total ODEC energy costs are examined periodically to determine if an adjustment is warranted to better match energy revenue collections and actual energy costs.
C. Coordination with Market-Based Rate Tariff
With the exception of sales made upon request of a member distribution cooperative pursuant to the Board policy, “Market-Based Rates for New or Expanding Loads,” all sales to member distribution cooperatives will be made pursuant to this tariff. Except as specifically provided above, the member distribution cooperatives will not be subject to market-based rates, including any rates contemplated by FERC Electric Tariff Original Volume No. 2 Market-Based Rates filed on October 5, 2004, and amended on January 7, 2005.

II.A. Notes
Note A Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
ODEC enters into derivative contracts to hedge its price risk associated with the purchase of fuel and energy. These contracts serve to mitigate the market and price volatility and stabilize the cost of power sold to its member distribution cooperatives. ODEC follows the accounting guidance provided by FERC in its Order No. 627, issued October 10, 2002, "Accounting and Reporting of Financial Instruments, Comprehensive Income, Derivatives and Hedging Activities," and Accounting Standards Board Codification (ASC) 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for recording unrealized and realized gains and losses.
Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments that do not meet the hedge criteria of ASC 815 for recording the unrealized gains and losses in Account 211 – Miscellaneous Paid-In Capital will be recorded as a regulatory liability in Account 254 – Other Regulatory Liabilities or as a regulatory asset in Account 182.3 – Other Regulatory Assets, as appropriate. When the derivative instruments are settled, the realized gain or loss will be matched and recognized in the same time period and recorded to the same expense account as the item for which risk is being mitigated.
ODEC enters into derivative instruments, such as forward or option contracts, for a specific time period and for a specific purpose, such as to hedge the purchase of natural gas to fuel its combustion turbine facilities. Realized gains and losses from the derivative instruments are matched and recognized in the same time period the expense is incurred for the hedged item, such as the purchase and consumption of natural gas. If it is determined that a derivative instrument is no longer needed due to changes in market conditions or assumptions of need, then the derivative instrument is settled and the realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period and recorded to the same expense account as the item for which risk is being mitigated.
Thus, amounts in Accounts 501 and 547 – Fuel, and Account 555 – Purchased Power include realized gains and losses from derivative contracts.
Note B Accounting for Nuclear Decommissioning Expense
Annual decommissioning expense results from ODEC’s 11.6% undivided ownership interest in the North Xxxx Nuclear Power Station (North Xxxx). As an owner of North Xxxx, ODEC is required to set aside funds for the decommissioning of North Xxxx. ODEC created a nuclear decommissioning trust fund and makes deposits to the fund on a periodic basis so that the fund balance will be sufficient to cover ODEC’s share of the decommissioning costs. ODEC’s share of the decommissioning cost is based upon Article 3.03 of the
6
Purchase, Construction and Ownership Agreement between Virginia Electric and Power Company and Old Dominion Electric Cooperative, dated as of December 28, 1982, amended and restated October 17, 1983.
Effective January 1, 2003, XXXX’s decommissioning liability and funding of the nuclear decommissioning trust fund is computed using ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations.” ODEC also follows the accounting guidance provided by FERC in its Order No. 631, issued April 9, 2003, "Accounting, Financial Reporting, and Rate Filing Requirements for Asset Retirement Obligations."
To ensure that ODEC’s asset retirement obligation liability is properly stated and the related nuclear decommissioning trust fund is adequately funded, periodic decommissioning studies are performed for North Xxxx and periodic reviews of the nuclear decommissioning trust fund balance and the projected income on the fund are performed.
Annually, asset retirement obligation expense will be recorded as depreciation and accretion expense in Accounts 403.1 and 411.10, respectively. These expenses will be partially offset by the amortization of the regulatory liability recorded in Account 254 resulting in a net asset retirement obligation expense. The amortization of the regulatory liability will be recorded in account 407.4 and will reflect the ASC 410 liability excluding costs related to third party and market risk premium. The net ASC 410 expense will be charged to member distribution cooperatives through rates and deposited to the nuclear decommissioning trust fund.
Realized income or loss on the nuclear decommissioning trust fund will be recognized in Account 419. This amount will be offset by an equal amount in Account 407.3 or 407.4, as appropriate, and the offset of the corresponding amount to the regulatory liability in Account 254.
Since 2003, the nuclear decommissioning trust fund has been adequately funded, based upon the current nuclear decommissioning trust fund balance, the current North Xxxx decommissioning study, and projected realized income on the nuclear decommissioning trust fund. As a result, collection of funds for, and deposits to, the nuclear decommissioning trust fund, recorded in Account 403 were discontinued effective August 30, 2003. The net asset retirement obligation expense is offset by an equal amount in Account 407.4 and the corresponding amount to the regulatory liability in Account 254.
Note C Other Income, Credits or Discounts
All income received or costs incurred by ODEC on behalf of an individual member distribution cooperative for its transactions or arrangements under FERC-approved agreements with Virginia Electric and Power Company, doing business as Dominion Virginia Power; Allegheny Power; Delmarva Power and
7
Light Company; and/or American Electric Power Company will be directly assigned to the member distribution cooperative on whose behalf the income is received or the cost is incurred, including but not limited to excess facilities charges and power factor correction charges. Amounts to be directly assigned to the individual member distribution cooperative(s) may also include transition fees as provided for in the Board Policy on Addition of Non-Native Load and/or amounts as provided for in the Board Policy on Distributed Solar.
Note D Sales for Resale
ODEC sells excess purchased and generated demand and energy to non-members and its Class B member, TEC. Additionally, ODEC sells renewable energy credits to its member distribution cooperatives and non-members.
Note E Equity Contribution
The Board may budget and set rates to collect margins beyond the Margin Requirement (Note F) to meet and maintain targeted equity levels. Equity development above the Margin Requirement must be approved by the Board and be consistent with Board-approved goals. Equity contributions will be collected from and allocated back to each member distribution cooperative based on Remaining Owned Capacity Service (see Section III.A.1.d., "Remaining Owned Capacity Service") demand billing units for the period.
Note F Margin Requirement
The Margin Requirement shall be up to 20% of the amount in Accts. 427 through 431 for the purpose of determining the rates under the formula. This will provide a times interest earned ratio (“TIER”) of up to 1.2 times, which is necessary to respond to the requirements of the credit rating agencies and to attract capital in the markets.

A. Rate Design
1. Demand Rates
Demand rates shall be developed annually to collect through the formula rate contained herein demand charges as estimated in ODEC's budget. Each member distribution cooperative shall be charged monthly based on its demand billing units multiplied by demand rates for the following, rounded to two decimal places:
Transmission Service shall include ODEC’s transmission-related and distribution-related expenses and shall be billed based on the member distribution cooperative’s contribution to the single zonal coincident peak (1 CP) for the previous PJM Transmission Year (November 1–October 31), within each of the PJM Transmission Zones as defined below.
Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) Zone – applicable to BARC Electric Cooperative, Community Electric Cooperative, Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative, Northern Neck Electric Cooperative, Prince Xxxxxx Electric Cooperative, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, and Southside Electric Cooperative at service points interconnected to the Dominion transmission system.
Delmarva Power and Light Company (DPL) Zone – applicable to A&N Electric Cooperative, Choptank Electric Cooperative, Inc., and Delaware Electric Cooperative, Inc., at service points interconnected to the DPL transmission system.
Allegheny Power (APS) Zone – applicable to BARC Electric Cooperative, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, and Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative at service points interconnected to the APS transmission system.
AEP East (AEP) Zone – applicable to Southside Electric Cooperative at service points interconnected to the AEP transmission system.
i. Transmission Service Rate
Transmission Service Rate = Annual Budgeted Transmission Expense
1 CP kW Demand
1 CP kW Demand = Sum of Prior Year Zonal 1 CPs * 12
12
ii. Distribution Service Rate
Distribution-related power costs paid by ODEC shall be borne only by the member distribution cooperatives receiving transmission service at distribution service points.
Distribution Service Rate = Annual Budgeted Distribution Expense
1 CP kW Distribution Demand
1 CP kW Distribution Demand = Sum of Prior Year Distribution Zonal 1 CPs * 12
b. RTO Capacity Service
RTO Capacity Service shall include ODEC’s Annual PJM Capacity Costs, excluding Add-backs, and shall be billed based on each member distribution cooperative’s contribution to the prior PJM Capacity Year (June 1 – May 31) average of the five hourly CPs.
RTO Capacity Service Rate =
Annual PJM Capacity Costs (excluding Add-backs)
5 CP kW Demand (excluding Add-backs)
Annual PJM Capacity Costs = All costs incurred by ODEC as a result of capacity acquired in capacity auctions conducted by PJM.
5 CP kW Demand = Sum of Prior Year’s averaged 5 CPs * 12
Add-backs = load reduction, as calculated by PJM, as a result of end-use customers’ participation in PJM demand response programs.
c. Add-backs
In addition to the RTO Capacity Service Rate, to the extent any member distribution cooperative’s customer(s) cause ODEC to incur an Add-back, the member distribution cooperative(s) shall beb directly allocated the Add-back, at actual cost to the member distribution cooperative.
13
d. Remaining Owned Capacity Service
Remaining Owned Capacity Service shall represent all demand costs not billed under the Transmission Service and RTO Capacity Service charges. It shall be billed based on each member distribution cooperative’s contribution to the average hourly demand for the prior period September 1 through August 31.
Remaining Owned Capacity Rate =
Annual Budgeted Remaining Owned Capacity Expense
Average kW Demand
Average kW Demand = Average demand of all hours from the prior period September 1 through August 31 * 12
2. Energy Rates
a. Base Energy
A Base Energy Rate shall be developed annually to collect through the formula rate contained herein energy charges as estimated in ODEC's budget. The budget shall include adjustments, if any, to collect amounts in the Deferred Energy account from the prior year. Each member distribution cooperative shall be charged monthly based on its monthly energy usage multiplied by the applicable Transmission Energy Rate or Distribution Energy Rate. The Base Energy Rate shall be rounded to five decimal places.
( Annual Budgeted Energy Expenses + Deferred Energy Balance)
Base Energy Rate = ______________________________________________________
(Annual Budgeted Transmission kWh + Annual Budgeted Distribution kWh Adjusted to Transmission)
Any Deferred Energy Balance under-collection projected as of the prior year end shall be added to Annual Budgeted Energy Expenses, whereas, any Deferred Energy Balance over-collection projected as of the prior year end shall be subtracted from the Annual Budgeted Energy Expenses.
Transmission Energy Rate = Base Energy Rate
Distribution Energy Rate = Base Energy Rate * Distribution Loss Factor
Distribution Loss Factor = an average loss factor calculated based on loss factors
b. Energy Adjustment
If at any time during a year it becomes apparent that the Base Energy Rate no longer accurately reflects costs and expenses, the Board may implement or modify the Energy Adjustment Rate to be applied for the remainder of the budget year. The Energy Adjustment Rate shall be an additional charge or credit calculated in accordance with ODEC’s Board-approved policy regarding collection of energy costs and expenses. The Board may implement an Energy Adjustment Rate when the Energy Adjustment Rate would be greater than +/- 2.0% of the Base Energy Rate. The Energy Adjustment Rate shall be rounded to five decimal places.
14
B. Development of Charges
1. Service Point Level Charges
Energy Charges shall be collected at the service point level with each kWh determinant being derived from revenue quality meters located at each of the service points. These service points are the demarcation points whereby ODEC takes wholesale transmission service for delivery to the member distribution cooperatives. The Service Point Level Charges are as follows:
Transmission Energy Charges = Transmission Energy Rate * Transmission Service Point kWh
Distribution Energy Charges = Distribution Energy Rate * Distribution Service Point kWh
Energy Adjustment Charges = Energy Adjustment Rate * Service Point kWh
2. Member Distribution Cooperative Level Demand Charges
Transmission Service Charges, RTO Capacity Service Charges, and Remaining Owned Capacity Service Charges shall be fixed monthly charges for the budget year. Transmission service costs shall be allocated based on each member distribution cooperative's contribution to the respective Zonal 1 CP kW demand. RTO Capacity Service costs shall be allocated based on the average of each member distribution cooperative's contribution to the top five hourly PJM CPs exclusive of add-backs for demand response participation. Remaining Owned Capacity Service costs shall be allocated based on each member distribution cooperative’s average hourly demand. The Member Distribution Cooperative Level Demand Charges are as follows:
Transmission Service Charges = Transmission Service Rate * Member Distribution Cooperative’s Contribution to Zonal 1 CP kW Transmission Demand
Distribution Service Charges = (Transmission Service Rate + Distribution Service Rate) * Member Distribution Cooperative’s Contribution to Zonal 1 CP kW Distribution Demand
RTO Capacity Service Charges = RTO Capacity Service Rate * Member Distribution Cooperative’s Contribution to PJM 5 CP kW Demand
Remaining Owned Capacity Service Charges = Remaining Owned Capacity Service Rate * Member Distribution Cooperative’s Contribution to the Average kW Demand Period (September 1 – August 31)
Bills are due and payable within ten calendar days after the ninth working day of each month, provided, however, that the payment date can be extended and/or bills can be prepaid pursuant to ODEC’s Cash Management Program.
