Oewey SUS(UEHANNA OL REVIEW, P'ENNSYLVANIA POWER 8 LIGHT CO.,
DKT. 50-387 and 50-388 CITY OF LANSOALE TELEPHONE INTERVIEW On May Z3, 1980, the undersigned telephoned Mr. B.
W. Olander, Manager of the
- Lansdale, Pa. Electric Oepartment (Lansdale),
in connection wi th the NRC's OL antitrust review in the above captioned matter.
Mr. Orlander has been General Manager of the Lansdale utility for the past thirteen years.
We are contacting Lansdale since we had been advised by PPSL that Lansdale had earlier ne,otiated for wheeling and wholesale el c ric services from PP&L.
Lansdale's peak load is Z5 MW.
Mr. Orlander reports that Lansdale at one time did generate some of its own power, but thei r units are now retired from service.
Lansdale is now a full requirements wholesale electric customer of the Philadelphia Electric Company
(?EC).
According to Orlander, Lansdale nas had a great deal of antitrust problems with PEC and is i'n the process of suing PEC in a Federal Oistrict Court action for an alleged ori ce squeeze in its whole-sale rates and for refusing to wheel PASNY power to Lansdale.
The situation regarding the wheeling allegations is that in order to receive the PASNY power, Lansdale will nave to receive wheeling services from both PEC and PP~L.
AI"hough PEC has refused to wheel this power, PPKL has cooperated
- fully, As pointed out, suora, PPSL has agreed to wheel power for Lansdale.
Another area in which Lansdale has negotiated with PPKL is for the purchase of wholesale power.
At one "ime PPSL was only offering Lansdale wholesale elec ric service
, ~
I 0
for a five year period, but Orlander advises that this time restriction has been removed.
According to Orlander, PPKL's wholesale rates are lower than PEC's rates.
However, in order to obtain wholesale service from PPKL it will be necessarJ for Lansdale to'uild a five mile transmission line.
Lansdale is presently having some difficulty in obtaining easements for such a line.
Negotiations between Lansdale and PPSL have been limited to wheeling and wholesale service, Ln all respects Orlander believes PPEL has treated.
Lansdale airly.
Lansdale has never attempted to participate in the Susquehanna project ot in any other generating facilities of PPKL.
In the future, however, Lansdale may look for ooportunlties to participate in generation because, of a bill presently before the Pennsylvania State Legislature which will enable Pennsylvania municipal utilities.to-participate in joint generation ventures.
Respectfully submitted, Lee Scott Dewey
