EMC Faces Higher Power Costs I
Under CP&L Rate Hike Proposal |
Four County Electric
Membership Corporation
(EMC) will soon be paying
substantially more for the
power it buys from Carolina
Power and Light Company
if the company's latest rate
hike proposal is approved.
CP&L submitted the re
quest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission
(FERC) seeking to raise
overall rates by up to 24
percent for the 18 coopera
tives it serves. Four County
EMC's wholesale power
rates will increase by ap
proximately 22 percent .
The new rates would
boost the cost of power for
the CP&L-served EMCs by
an estimated $20.8 million
a year.
The impact of the higher
rates will vary on a per
centage basis from one
co-op to another.
"Any way you look at it,
if this rate increase is
allowed as proposed, it'll
amount to major surgery on
our power supply budget,"
said L.P. (Bill) Beverage,
general manager of Four
County EMC. "It's going
to hurt and our consumer
members will feel the pain
right in their pocketbooks."
The most disturbing
aspect of the rate proposal,
Beverage said, is the fact
that CP&L is asking for
about $8.6 million to help
finance construction on
plants that are still being
built.
"That's more than 40
percent of the overall re
quest ? and the plants
won't start operating for
years to come. It's out
rageous, but this kind of
thing now has the full
blessings of the FERC,"
Beverage added.
The federal agency's
policy on construction
work-in-progress (CWIP)
costs was revised earlier
this year to permit investor
owned utilities to charge
their wholesale customers
for part of those costs.
Until the new policy be
came effective in July, the
companies' investments in
new plants could be re
flected in wholesale rates
only after the plants began
operating.
The policy change came
after the utilities had
mounted an extensive cam
paign at FERC seeking just
such a ruling.
Under FERC's new ap
proach, (he companies are
allowed (o charge whole
sale customers for SO per
cent of CWIP but any given
iate hike can include such
costs only up to 6 percent of
gross revenues.
Beverage said the new
treatment of CWIP costs
will add an estimated $500
million to the power bills of
co-op and municipal elec- ?
trie system consumers
across the nation.
The impact of the ruling
will be especially severe in
North Carolina, where pri
vate power companies pro
vide almost all of the
energy for EMCs and
municipal systems. The
CP&L rate hike request will
be opposed before FERC by
Four County EMC and
North Carolina EMC, the
power supply arm of the
EMCs' statewide organiza
tion. CP&L has requested
the rate increase go into
effect in two phases. Phase
I, amounting to approxi
mately 16 percent, is sche
duled to become effective
Nov. 26 with Phase II (6
percent) following on Nov.
27.
N.C. EMC officials will
seek an initial suspension
of the new rates for five
months, the maximum al
lowed under FERC pro
cedures, and reduction in the
rates themselves.
The usual practice is for
FERC to allow a rate hike to
go into effect after a sus
pension period, subject to
later review. If the com
mission eventually decides
that the rates are too high,
it would require that the
extra charges must be re
funded to the EMCs
involved.
"We're asking all of our
consumers to write to theit
congressional representa
tives asking them to vote in
favor of House bill HR-55,
which would place restric
tions on CWIP costs,"
Beverage said, adding that
consumers may call the
Four County EMC office for
the addresses.
