Background

Intertie Project Transmission Service

On August 22, 2013, FERC approved and confirmed Rate Schedules INT-
FT5 and INT-NFT4 under Rate Order No. WAPA-157 on a final basis for a
5-year period through April 30, 2018.\3\ WAPA's Administrator
subsequently approved the use of the existing Intertie transmission
service rates for short-term sales for the period between May 1, 2018,
and October 31, 2018, or the date the extension of the Intertie
transmission service rates went into effect, whichever occurred first.
On September 11, 2018, the Deputy Secretary of Energy approved the
extension of the Intertie transmission service rates on an interim
basis.\4\ On December 3, 2018, FERC approved and confirmed the
extension of Rate Schedules INT-FT5 and INT-NFT4 under Rate Order No.
WAPA-181 on a final basis for a two-year period through September 30,
2020.\5\ On March 2, 2021, FERC approved and confirmed the extension of
Rate Schedules INT-FT5 and INT-NFT4 under Rate Order No. WAPA-192 on a
final basis for a 3-year period through September 30, 2023.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

DSW is extending the existing Intertie transmission service rates
under Rate Schedules INT-FT5 and INT-NFT4 for one year, through
September 30, 2024. The existing rates provide sufficient revenue to
pay all annual costs, including interest expense, and repay investment
within the allowable period consistent with the cost recovery criteria
set forth in Department of Energy (DOE) Order RA 6120.2.

Parker-Davis Project Transmission and Firm Electric Service

On September 18, 2014, FERC approved and confirmed Rate Schedules
PD-F7, PD-FT7, PD-FCT7, and PD-NFT7 under Rate Order No. WAPA-162 on a
final basis for a 5-year period through September 30, 2018.\7\ On
January 31, 2019, FERC approved and confirmed the extension of Rate
Schedules PD-F7, PD-FT7, PD-FCT7, and PD-NFT7 under Rate Order No.
WAPA-184 on a final basis for a 5-year period through September 30,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

DSW is extending the existing PDP transmission and firm electric
service formula rates under Rate Schedules PD-F7, PD-FT7, PD-FCT7, and
PD-NFT7 for a one-year period, through September 30, 2024. The existing
formula rates provide sufficient revenue to pay all annual costs,
including interest expense, and repay investment within the allowable
period consistent with the cost recovery criteria set forth in DOE
Order RA 6120.2.

Discussion

In accordance with 10 CFR 903.23(a), DSW filed a notice in the
Federal Register on June 23, 2023, proposing to extend, without
adjustment, Rate Schedules INT-FT5, INT-NFT4, PD-F7, PD-FT7, PD-FCT7,
and PD-NFT7 under Rate Order No. WAPA-210.\9\ DSW determined it was not
necessary to hold public information or public comment forums on the
proposed rates and formula rates extension, but provided a 30-day
consultation and comment period to give the public an opportunity to
comment on the proposed extension. The consultation and comment period
ended on July 24,

[[Page 59906]]

2023, and DSW received no comments on the proposed rates and formula
rates extension.

Hourly: 2.21 mills

Discounts may be offered from time-to-time in accordance with
Western's Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).

Billing

Western will bill firm point-to-point transmission service
customers monthly by applying the rates listed above to the amount of
capacity reserved. Payment for long-term transmission service will be
required one month in advance of said service.

Character and Conditions of Service

Alternating current at 60 hertz, three-phase, delivered and metered
at the voltages and points of delivery established by the service
agreement or contract.

Adjustments for Reactive Power

There shall be no entitlement to transfer of reactive kilovolt-
amperes at delivery points, except when such transfers may be mutually
agreed upon by the customer and Western or their authorized
representatives.

Adjustments for Losses: [This Section Was Superseded by Rate Schedule
DSW-TL1]

Capacity and energy losses incurred in connection with the
transmission and delivery of capacity and energy under this rate
schedule shall be supplied by the customer in accordance with the
service agreement or contract. If losses are not fully provided by a

Unreserved Use: [This Section Was Superseded by Rate Schedule DSW-UU1]

[[Page 59907]]

than one assessment of unreserved use for any given duration (e.g.,
daily) increases to next longest duration (e.g., weekly). The penalty
for multiple instances of unreserved use (e.g., more than one hour)
within a day is based on the daily short-term rate. The penalty for
multiple instances of unreserved use isolated to one calendar week is
based on the weekly short-term rate. The penalty for multiple instances
of unreserved use during more than one week in a calendar month is
based on the monthly short-term rate.
A customer that exceeds its reserved capacity at any point of
receipt or point of delivery, or a customer that uses transmission
service at a point of receipt or point of delivery that it has not
reserved, is required to pay for all ancillary services that were
provided by the Western Area Lower Colorado (WALC) Balancing Authority
and associated with the unreserved use. The customer will pay for
ancillary services based on the amount of transmission service used and
not reserved.

are supplied to the Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie Project
(Intertie) transmission system at points of interconnection with other
systems and transmitted and delivered, less losses, to points of
delivery on the Intertie transmission system.

Rate

The nonfirm transmission service rate is 2.21 mills for each

Unreserved Use: [This Section Was Superseded by Rate Schedule DSW-UU1]

Western will assess a charge for any unreserved use of the
transmission system. Unreserved use occurs when a customer uses
transmission service that it has not reserved or uses transmission
service in excess of its reserved capacity. Unreserved use may also
include a customer's failure to curtail transmission when requested.
The charge for unreserved use is two times the maximum allowable
rate for the service at issue, assessed as follows: The penalty for a
single hour of unreserved use is based on the daily short-term rate.
The penalty for more than one assessment of unreserved use for any
given duration (e.g., daily) increases to next longest duration (e.g.,
weekly). The penalty for multiple instances of unreserved use (e.g.,

service at a point of receipt or point of delivery that it has not
reserved, is required to pay for all ancillary services that were

charge is 4.5 mills/kWh for each kWh measured or scheduled to an
Arizona purchaser and 2.5 mills/kWh for each kWh measured or scheduled
to a California or Nevada purchaser.

Billing of Excess Energy

For each month in which there is excess energy available, offered,
and delivered to the firm electric service customer, such excess energy
shall be billed at the Energy Rate.

Schedule DSW-UU1]

For each month in which there is a contract violation involving an
unauthorized overrun of energy and/or capacity, such overruns shall be

If delivery is made at transmission voltage but metered on the low-
voltage side of the substation, the meter readings will be increased to
compensate for transformer losses as provided for in the contract.
