PASSED AND APPROVED at a regular meeting of the City Council of A~RO;;~r~2~;~ LEGALI;Y AND-FORM: C~ky Atto~hey [2~- ~ NO. 292,241 CAP ROCK ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, ~ IN THE DISTRICT COURT INC., ET AL; CITY OF FORT WORTH, ET AL; and TEXAS ELEC- TRIC SERVICE COMPANY, ET AL. § OF TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS v. PUBLIC UTILITY CO~ISSION OF TEXAS, ET AL. ~ 200TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT Said Cause being a consolidation of appeals by Cap Rock Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Cause No. 292,241), by the City of Fort Worth, et al. (Cause No. 292,362) , by Texas Electric Service Company, et al. (Cause No. 292,365), from the Orders of the Public Utility Commission of Texas Rendered in Commission Docket Number 1903 FINAL JUDGMENT On the 19th and 29th days of December, 1980, came on for hearing the above styled and numbered cause together with other causes being consolidated herewith for purposes of hearing only. All parties appeared by and through their attorneys of record, and announced ready. After having considered the pleadings of the ~art~es, the certified record of proceedings before the Public Utility Commission of Texas, and the argument of counsel, the Court finds that substantial rights of Cap Rock Electric Cooperative, Inc., Lone Wolf Electric Cooperative, Inc., and Lyntegar Electric Cooperative, Inc.; the Cities of Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Midland, Odessa, Wichita Falls, Lamesa, Archer City, Breckenridge, Forest Hill, Richland Hills, North Richland Hills, Ha!tom City, Sansom Park, Lake Worth, O'Donnell and White Settlement and the electric utility ratepayers thereof have been prejudiced because the final order of the Public Utility Commis- sion ("Commission") issued in Docket No. 1903 is in violation of statutory provisions, in excess of the statutory authority of the Commission and is affected by error of law, insofar as the order: 1. Concludes that Texas Electric Service Company ("TESCO"), Dallas Power and Light Company ("DP&L") and Texas Power and Light Company ("TP&L") are not each affiliated interests and affiliates~Q~[ each of the other as the terms affiliated interest[~a~9~d~af~ . i'l~a~e[~are·. ·~ .. defined in Section 3(i) of the Public utility Regulatory Act ("PU~A") and used in Section 41(c) (1) of PURA; 2. Authorizes TESCO to collect from ratepayers automati- cally as fuel adjustment charges payments which TESCO makes to affiliated interests of amounts which have not first been reviewed or found to be reasonable' as required by Section 41(c) (1) of PURA; 3 Authorizes a fuel clause which permits TESCO to u..l~a~- erally define and redefine elements to be included as fuel adjustment charges to ratepayers and to change the manner of computation thereof without complying with Section 43 of PURA and to change rates in this fashion in contravention of Sections 42 and 43(f) of PURA; 4. Sanctions and fails to remedy past over-collection from TESCO's ratepayers of increased rates without Commission approval, through the fuel adjustment clause, as a result of the sale of electricity to TP&L by TESCO below TESCO's actual fuel cost of generation as consideration paid by TESCO to TP&L for the purchase from TP&L by TESCO of certain interests in the Martin Lake Generation StatiOn, which s'uch unduly preferential sale of electricity at reduced fuel costs by TESC© to TP&L improperly increased the rates paid by TESCO's ratepayers; 5. Sanctions and fails to remedy past over-collection from TESCO's ratepayers of increased rates, through the fuel adjustment clause of consideration paid by TESCO to TP&L for the purchase from TP&L by TESCO of certain interests in the Martin Lake Generation Station, the amount of which such consideration and the collection of such cost as an expense from TESCO rate- payers violated the provisions of Section 41(c) (1) of PURA. It is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED ahd DECREED 1. That the final order of the Commission in Docket No. 1903 is REVERSED and REMANDED to the Commission with directions to the Commission that it: a. Revise its final order and all tariffs promulgated pur- suant thereto to delete any'fuel adjustment clause, or other rate, which allows the recovery by TESCO from its -2- ratepayers of any cost or expense attributable to, or resulting from, payments by TESCO to affiliates or affiliated interests except to the extent that the amount thereof shall have first been found reasonable pursuant to Section 41(c) (1) , PURA. b. Modify its final order and all rates and tariffs, including any fuel adjustment clause, promulgated pursuant thereto to preclude recovery by TESCO from its ratepayers of any cost or expense attributable to, or resulting from, payments by TESCO to affiliates or affiliated interests except to the extent that the amount thereof shall have first been found reasonable pursuant to Section 41(c) (1), PURA; c. Consider and determine the appropriate remedies for over collection of fuel costs from ratepayers of TESCO in violation of Section 41(c) (1) , PURA described in Paragraphs 4 and 5 above; provided, that the nature of such remedies and factors to be considered in deter-' mining same shall be within the lawful discretion of the CommissiOn; d. Conclude that TESCO, TP&L and DP&L, and each of them, are "affiliates" and "affiliated" interests of one another as defined by Section 3(i) PURA and as used in Section 41(c)(1) of PURA; e. Correct its final order to reflect the foregoing. 2. All relief not expressly granted is hereby denied and except as expressly modified herein said final order in Docket 1903 is hereby affirmed in all respects. 3. That costs ofI this suit be taxed against Defendants, TESCO and Commission. SIGNED, RENDERED AND ENTERED this the ~/;4~__ day of ~, 1981. Sitting by Desiq~ation as 'Judge of the 53rd and 200th Judicial~ District Courts of Travis County, Texas -3- PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF PAYMENTS TO AFFILIATES Because Texas Electric Service Company, Texas Power & Light Company, and Dallas Power & Light Company ("the Companies") purchase fuel and fuel services from affiliates and affiliated interests and purchase power from each other, and because prices paid to affiliates and affiliated interests may be charged to the Companies' ratepayers only if found to be reasonable in compli- ance with Section 41(c) (1) of the Public Utility Regulatory Act (the "Act"), the fuel cost factor tariff schedules of the Compa- nies may be utilized to recoup those expenses which are incurred by the Companies by reason of payme~ ......... and affiliated interests only upon the fol ~ ~]_/ and conditions: 1. Insofar as fuel costs as use fuel cost factor arise k ~ /L /~ tO affiliates, all estimates the Commission under this Procedure shall include only those items within the definitions set forth in the Chart of Accounts of the affiliates, Texas Utilities Generating Company (TUGCO) and Texas Utilities Fuel Company (TUFCO), being attached hereto as Exhibits A(5) and A(6), respectively. The Chart of Accounts for Dallas Power & Light Company, Texas Power & Light Company, and Texas Electric Service Company are the Uniform System of Accounts for Class A Utilities as required by the Public Utility Commission's Substantive Rules. That an item is within the definitions set forth in the charts of Account of TUGCO, TUFCO, or the Companies does not establish that the cost of the item is reasonable or should be charged to ratepayers or should be passed through the fuel clause rather than being recouped through base rates. 2. Charges will not be included in the calculation of the fuel cost factor by reason of power purchased from any affiliated Company except for those types of power specified in Exhibit A(1) attached hereto and priced according to the formulae specified in said Exhibit A(1) . 3. Charges will not be included in the calculation of the fuel cost factor by reason of payments to affiliates for any item except to the extent that the amount thereof is found reasonable by the Commission. Such finding of reasonableness shall include specific statements setting forth the cost to the affiliate of each item or class items, and a finding that the price to the utility is no higher than prices charged by the supplying affiliate to its other affiliates or divi- sions for the same item or items, or to unaffiliated persons or corporations. 4. Within sixty (60) days of the entry of this Final Order, the Companies shall file a "Request for Approval of Payments to Affiliates" (hereinafter referred to as the "Initial Request") with the Commission. Such Initial Request shall include: (A) Schedules substantially conforming to the format set forth in the Exhibits A(2), A(3), and A(4) attached hereto, which shall set forth: (1) An estimate (shown on Exhibit A(2)) of cost on a dollars per MMBtu basis for "fuel related services" (as hereinafter defined) s~pplied by TUGCO for the calendar quarter or quarters for which approval is sought; and (2) An estimate (shown on Exhibit A(3) and A(4) of cost on a dollars per MMBtu basis for "fuel related services" (separately for fuel gas related services and for fuel oil related services) supplied by TUFCO for the calendar quarter or quarters for which approval is sought. (B) An affidavit, executed by an officer or designated representative of the Companies attesting: (1) That the factual matters set forth in the Initial Request are true and correct and that the estimates set forth therein reflect the Companies' best estimates and are made in good faith; (2) That the estimated prices are reasonable and are estimated to be .no higher than the price of TUGCO or TUFCO for fuel related services to any other affiliated or non-affiliated person or corporation during the period of time stated in the Initial Requests; and (3) That the Initial Request reflects no items which are not within the definitions set forth in the Chart of Accounts of the affiliates. (4) That there have been no changes in the accounting methodologies, the rates and/or practices of depreciation or amoritization or calculation of interest charges, or other methods of computation in any affiliate charges except as specifically noted in the Request. The filing of such affidavit and the aforesaid Sched- ules shall not relieve the Companies' of their burden of proving the reasonableness of payments made to affiliates and charged to the Companies' ratepayers in accordance with Paragraph 3 of this procedure in any hearing relating to this procedure or in any rate cases as described herein. 5. Unless an extension of time is ordered by the Commis- sion or a hearing examiner of the Commission, the Commission shall review the Initial Request and, within ninety (90) days of the.receipt of same, shall conduct a hearing thereon, and shall, on or before December 15, 1982, approve by written order such prices as it determines are reasonable and comply with this Procedure. Such order shall: (A) Establish prices per ~4Btu for "fuel related services" supplied by TUFCO (separately for fuel gas related services and for fuel oil related services) and by TUGCO, separately by generating units as shown on Exhibit A(2), and such prices shall be charged through each Company'~ fuel cost factor tariff schedules in the billing months corresponding with the calendar quarter or quarters for which approval is sought. As used herein, the price for "fuel related services" shall be based upon TUFCO or TUGCO expenses, within the definitions contained in the Charts of Accounts of said affiliates, including those chargeable to each Company on account of TUFCO's or TUGCO's acquiring, transporting, causing to be transported, producing causing to be produced, storing, mining, or handling of fuel consumed in electric power generating plants, or which produce power for the Companies to the extent the Commission finds said expenses to be reasonable, and that said expenses should be charged to customers through the fuel adjustment clause, but shall specifically exclude: (1) Interest payments on the Senior Notes and other debt of TUFCO or TUGCO. Interest on debt to Texas Utilities Company shall be at a rate equal to the daily weighted cost of all outstanding short-term indebtedness of Texas Utilities Company, including any fees incurred in connection with the maintenance of the credit arrangement and, at times when Texas Utilities Company has no short-term indebtedness outstanding, the interest rate will be equal to the rate published daily in the Wall Street Journal for "high grade unsecured notes sold through dealers by major corporations for thirty days;" (2) The cost of natural gas and fuel oil acquired by TUFCO from non-affiliated interests and consumed in the operation of the TUFCO system of pipelines or in electric power generating plants which produce power for the Companies; and (3) Depreciation and depletion charges on producing wells computed on successful efforts method incurred by TUFCO on behalf of DP&L, TP&L, and TESCO in developing natural gas resources and attributable to such Company's share of production thereform. Unsuccessful exploration and development costs shall not be passed through the fuel adjustment clause. (B) The Commission shall in such Order provide the opportunity for each Company to recover those actual costs incurred for fuel and fuel-related services found reasonable by the Commission up to the date of implementation of the prices established hereunder through their fuel cost factor tariff schedules to the extent that the Commission finds it appropriate to charge these costs through the fuel adjustment clause. 6. Companies may, pending further order of the Commission, charge to and collect from their ratepayers those fuel and fuel related expenses incurred from non-affiliated -5- interests and also those which are described in Subparagraphs (1), (2), and (3) of paragraph 5(A) above. In subsequent rate cases and other proceedings involving such matters, the companies shall have the burden of proving the amounts so charged and collected are reasonable. All amounts so charged and collected shall be refunded except to the extent that they are found reasonable and in accordance with this procedure. 7. Within twenty-five (25) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Companies shall determine whether or not the established prices as chgrged for such calendar quarter exceeded or were less than the actual prices incurred by TUFCO and/or TUGCO for all such fuel related services for such quarter. If the actual prices of fuel related services rendered during said quarter be less than the price so established by the Commission for such calendar quarter, then the Companies shall report same to the Commission and shall refund to their customers the overrecovery resulting from the difference between such actual · prices and the prices so established, such refund to be applied to the fuel cost factors for the billing months corresponding with the second succeeding calendar quarter following the overrecovery. In the event that the prices established and charged for such calendar quarter be less than the actual price of fuel related services provided to such Companies by TUFCO and/or TUGCO, resulting in an underrecovery of the actual cost incurred for such fuel related services, then in such event, the Companies shall be entitled to recover through their fuel cost factor schedules in each of the billing months corresponding with the second succeeding calendar quarter the underrecovery resulting from the difference between the actual prices and the prices as established, but -6- ,' only t _he exten~ that the Commission ~ by written £ order made a preliminary determination that such difference is reasonable, as provided for in Paragraph 8 below. Such preliminary finding of reasonableness shall not be binding on the Commission or any party in Companies' succeeding rate cases or other proceedings. 8. A Company seeking recovery of costs incurred which exceed the prices established for a previous quarter or the establishment of new prices per MMBtu for a future quarter or quarters for any such fuel related services as defined in Paragraph 5(A) above, shall within twenty-five {25) days following the close of such previous quarter, file with the Commission a written Request (hereinafter referred to as the "Quarterly Request") for the collection of such underrecovery, if any, and for such new prices, and in Such Quarterly Request shall set forth the amount of the underrecovery, if any, and shall set forth specifically and in detail the basis upon which such Company contends that, such additional costs should be so recovered, or new prices for fuel related services as described in Paragraph 5(A) above should be established. The burden of proof shall be upon the Companies to establish that the costs so incurred which exceed the price established for the previous quarter and the new prices which it estimates to be incurred in such future quarter or quarters are reasonable and comply with this Procedure. The Commission shall act upon each such Quarterly Request within sixty (60) days from receipt thereof by final, appealable written order establishing such prices as it determines on a preliminary basis are reasonable and comply with this Procedure. Such preliminary finding of reasonableness shall not be binding on the Commission or any party in subsequent -7- rate cases or proceedings relating to fuel charges and shall not relieve the Company of its burden of proving in subsequent rate cases and proceedings that the amounts so charged and collected are reasonable. 9. Each Company shall in each general, systemwide rate case have the burden of proving that all amounts collected from ratepayers pursuant to paragraphs 5, 6, 7, and 8 of this Procedure since the end of the test year of the Company's preceding general, systemwide rate case are reasonable as defined in paragraph 3 of this Procedure and comply in all respects with this Procedure. The final order of the Commission in each general, systemwide rate case of each Company shall include a finding of the extent to which amounts collected from ratepayers pursuant to this Procedure are reasonable. Such finding of reasonableness shall include specific statements setting forth the cost to the affiliate of each service, property, right, or thing, or class thereof, charged to ratepayers pursuant to this Procedure and that the price charged to the Company is no higher than the price charged by the supplying affiliate to other affiliates or divisions for the same item or items, or to unaffiliated persons or corporations. All amounts collected in excess of the amounts found in compliance with this procedure and reasonable by the Commission shall be refunded in the next quarter following the entry of the final order making the determination of reasonableness. 10. Nothing in this Procedure shall be construed to deny to the Companies the right to recover all fuel service expenses actually incurred by them to the extent that same are found by the Commission to be reasonable or to permit the Companies to recover more than those actual fuel service expenses which are found reasonable by the -8- Commission. Ail charges collected pursuant to this procedure are subject to review and refund in subse- quent rate cases and other proceedings. All amounts hereafter charged by affiliates and collected from the Companies' ratepayers through the fuel adjustment clause other than those specifically authorized by this Procedure and found reasonable by the Commission shall be refunded. 11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any municipal regulatory authority exercising original jurisdiction over any one or more of the Companies (A) shall have the right to conduct any investigation relatimg to a Company's Request which such author- ity deemed advisable; and (B) shall have the right to intervene before the Commission, to obtain discovery and to participate in any meeting or hearing held pursuant to the above provisions; and (C) shall have the right to employ, collectively, an outside accounting firm to review the quarterly filings and substantiating data for approval to determine whether they comply with the Procedure, the cost of which review will be paid by the Companies to the extent that said cost is recover- able by the Companies as a rate case expense. 12. Any customer of the Companies shall have the right to intervene, participate, and obtain discovery concerning any Quarterly Request filed pursuant to this Procedure to the extent provided in this Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures. EXHIBIT A(1) DEFINITIONS AND FOrmULAE APPLICABLE TO ENERGY TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN Dallas Power & Light, Texas Power & Light, and Texas Electric Service Company I. Energy Sales for Purchaser's Load Requirements Energy sales which are made to supply a portion of the purchaser's load requirements and which are generally initiated by the purchaser shall be priced according to A or B below dependent upon the type of fuel consumed by the seller to make the sale. Further- more, certain additional costs as set forth under C below shall be charged the purchaser by the seller when applicable. A. Charge for Energy Sales - Gas Generation Seller shall bill purchaser for energy on basis of the highest price paid by the seller for gas consumed in its system to make the sale, applied to the additional ~MBtu's of gas used on seller's system to generate the additional energy. B. Charge for Energy Sales - Oil Generation Seller shall bill purchaser for energy on the basis of the highest priced oil consumed to make the sale applied to the additional ~'~Btu's of oil used on seller's system to generate the additional energy. The price of the oil shall be the greater of: (1) the Last In-First Out price of the oil consumed, or the (2) the average stores cost. C. Additional Charges (applicable under A and B above) 1. Start-up costs are incurred and applicable when seller, in connection with the request for energy, must bring on line from standby an additional unit(s). 2. Minimum operations costs are incurred and applicable when seller retains unit(s) on line during periods when capacity has been requested. Charges shall be based on the additional fuel cost (calculated pursuant to A and B above) incurred to maintain the additional unit(s) on line, to the extent that these costs are not recovered by charges under A and B above. Notwithstanding this provision, it is agreed that the purchaser will maintain a minimum purchase schedule equal to the minimum load of the additional unit(s) being maintained on line at the request of the purchaser. 3. Other costs are identifiable operating expenses incurred ~n connection with the request for energy such as supplies and supplemental and overtime labor. These costs shall be billed by the seller and identified separately. 4. Transmission losses that occur on the seller's system as a direct result of the energy sales shall either be priced in accordance with A or B above or be returned in-kind by the purchaser. The seller must estimate the transmission losses and notify the purchaser prior to the energy sales. II. Energy Transactions for Economy Energy transactions which are made to reduce the fuel expense of the companies as a result of the seller having surplus energy available that can be produced and sold at a price below the purchaser's displaced production cost and above the seller's incremental production cost shall be classified and priced according to the following provisions, provided however that no such energy transactions shall be priced higher than the purchaser's displaced production cost or lower than the seller's incremental production cost: A. Lignite Energy Sales between Companies When a company cannot take its ownership share of lignite generation being produced, the company shall arrange a sale with one or both of the other companies. The energy shall be recorded in a special sale or purchase account for "lignite energy sales" and will be priced and paid for at the rate for the month which is quoted to third parties for "Off-Peak Interruptible Economy Energy" less 3.5 mills per kilowatt-hour. Available lignite energy will be offered by the selling company to the other companies prior to the offer to third parties. B. Lignite Energy Transfer In those cases when a company cannot take its ownership share of lignite generation being produced, and neither of the other two companies can schedule this energy into its system, and no sale to third parties can be scheduled, then lignite generation must be reduced. To minimize the actual amount of lignite generation reduction, as well as provide necessary relief to the company with excess generation, lignite 'generation shall be reduced only to the extent necessary to relieve the company with excess generation and a transfer shall be made by such company to each of the other two companies in order that each of the other companies may maintain its share of energy from the lignite unit prior to the reduction. This energy shall be recorded in a special sale or purchase account for "lignite transfer" and shall be priced and paid for at the current month's weighted average fuel cost (per kwh net generated) of the lignite plant (or unit) where the generation was reduced. C. Other Economy Energy Transactions (Gas or Oil Generation) Special energy transactions involving gas or oil generation may occur from time to time in order to minimize a company's total fuel cost or improve the overall fuel supply and/or operations. Such transactions shall be priced so that the price of the energy purchased shall be less than the decremental cost of the purchasing company and more than the incremental cost of the selling company. ~ction I I t-D RATE ~IEOULE$ ~neet No. I ADJUSTMENT AND CHARGES Revision No. Or I ?1 na 1 SCHEDULE FC Effective See AoO I I cat t on Title FUEL ~ST Page 10 of 12 EXHIBIT A(2) The estimated cost of TUGCO-fue~ related services (Including ignition and flame stablllzatlon fuels) applicable during the Company's billing periods most closely corresponding to the Calendar Quarter beginning , 19 , Is as follows: ......
