Recommendation of Parties

The following changes to tariffs should be made:

 

a. Schedule A-V1 should be closed and cancelled effective 60 days after the effective date of a decision in this proceeding.

b. A new Schedule AL-TOU-CP (Critical Peak) should be created.

1) The Rates section of Schedule AL-TOU-CP would have the identical rates as Schedule AL-TOU.

2) Schedule AL-TOU-CP would have the Signaling Equipment Charge and the Contact Closure Fee from the existing A-V1.

3) Schedule AL-TOU-CP would have a special condition stating that the On-Peak energy rate will apply during a Signaled Period 1G-time periods.

4) Special conditions from the current Schedule A-V1 would be shifted to Schedule AL-TOU-CP with the deletion of Special Condition 8.

5) Clean up - delete applicability sentences beginning with "As of 01-01-01, customers on Schedule ..."

6) Customers on A-V1 should be transferred to AL-TOU-CP at the start of their billing period, following the Commission-adopted effective date to initiate service for AL-TOU-CP. Tariff language should be added to A-V1 stating that this will occur, and that AL-TOU-CP is available to customers (up to 5 (five) per month).

c. Changes to Schedule EECC (See Table II)

1) Change the A-V1 portion to include: Signaled Period 1G, On-Peak, Semi-Peak and Off-Peak rates.

2) Make the Signaled Period 1G rate equal to the sum of the current Signaled Period 1G rates from A-V1 and EECC.

3) Make the On-Peak, Semi-Peak and Off-Peak rates on Schedule EECC lower than those for Schedule AL-TOU on EECC by an amount equal to: [(EECC for A-V1 for Period 1G minus EECC for AL-TOU On-Peak) multiplied by 25 hours/year of signaled periods] divided by 8735 remaining hours/year.

4) Change the sub-header to refer to Schedule AL-TOU-CP instead of A-V1.

5.) Commodity rates for TOU on Schedule EECC
