Southwestern Power Administration, et al.; Electric Rate and Corporate Filings

The following filings have been made with the Commission. The filings are listed in ascending order within each docket classification.

1. Southwestern Power Administration

Take notice that on November 17, 2004, the Deputy Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy, submitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for confirmation and approval on a final basis, pursuant to the authority vested in the Commission by Delegation Order Nos. 00-037.00, effective December 6, 2001, and 00-001-00A, effective September 17, 2002, the following Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) Integrated System rate schedules:

Rate Schedule P-04, Wholesale Rates for Hydro Peaking Power.

Rate Schedule NFTS-04, Wholesale Rates for Non-Federal Transmission/Interconnection Facilities Service.

Rate Schedule EE-04, Wholesale Rate for Excess Energy.

The Integrated System (System) rate schedules were confirmed and approved on an interim basis by the Deputy Secretary in Rate Order No. SWPA-51 for the period January 1, 2005, through September 30, 2008, and have been submitted to the FERC for confirmation and approval on a final basis for the same period. The System rates will increase the annual revenue from $114,973,800 to $123,549,964 primarily to recover increased expenditures in operation and maintenance (O&M) and investment. The total annual revenue increase will be $8,576,164, or 7.5 percent effective January 1, 2005.

In addition, the PRS indicates the need for an annual increase of $737,300 in revenues received through the Purchased Power Adder to recover increased purchased energy costs. Southwestern has continued the rate structure that conforms with the intent of the FERC's Order No. 888; consequently, the actual rate impact on each customer will vary based on the type of service requested and provided. The proposal also includes a continuation of the Administrator's Discretionary Purchased Power Adder Adjustment, to adjust the purchased power adder annually up to $0.0011 per kilowatthour as necessary, under a formula-type rate, with notification to the FERC.
