20555 e
DUKE POUER COMPANY (William B. McGuire Nuclear Power, Station, Unit No. 1)
DOCKET NO. 50-369 CONS 1RUCTION PERMIT Construction Permit No. CPPR-83 Amendment No. 1 Pursuant to an Order by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, dated April 23, 1975, the Nuc1 car Regulatory Commission has issued Amendment No. 1 to Construction Permit No. CPPR-83 by deleting paragraph 2.d and substituting the following therefor:
d.
Applicant makes the commitments contained herein, recognizing that bulk power supply arrangements between neighboring In entities normally tend to serve the public interest.
addition, where there are net benefits to all participants such arrangements also serve the best interests of each of the participants. Among the benefits of such transactions are increased electric system reliability, a reduction in the cost of electric power, and minimization of the environmental ef fects of the production and sale of electricity.
Any particular bulk power supply transaction may afford greater benefits to one participant than to another.
The benefits realized by a small system may be proportionately greater than those realized by a larger system.
The relative benefits to be derived by the parties f rom a proposed transaction, however, should not be controlling upon a decision with respect to the desirability of participating in the transaction. Accordingly, Applicant will enter into proposed bulk power transactions of the types hereinaf ter described which, on balance, provide net 79032602%
benefits to Applicant. There are net benefits in a trans-action if Applicant recovers the cost of the transaction (as defined in subparagraph (1)(d) hereof) and there is no demon-strable net detriment to Applicant arising from that transaction.
(1) As used herein:
(a) " Bulk Power" ceans electric power and any attendant energy, supplied or cade available at transmission or sub-transaission voltage by one electric system to another.
(b)
" Neighboring Entity" ceans a private or public corpora-tion, a governmental agency or authority, a municipality, a cooperative, or a lawful association of any of the foregoing owning or operating, or proposing to own or operate, facilities for the generation and transmission of electricity which meets each of the following criteria:
(1) its existing or proposed facilities are economically and technically feasible of interconnection with those of the Applicant and (2) with the exception of municipalities, cooperatives, governmental agencies or authorities, and associations, it ic, or upon concencement of operations will be, a public utility and subject to regulation with respect to rates and service under the laws of North Carolina or South Carolina or under the the Federal Power Act; provided, however, that as to associations, each member of such association is either a public utility as discussed in this clause (2) or a municipality, a coop-erative or a governcental agency or authority.
(c) Uhere the phrase " neighbor.'ns entity" is intended to include entities engaging or proposing to engage only in the distribution of electricity, this is indicated by adding the phrase "includ' F"7t*ibution systems."
(d)
" Cost" means any appropr'.
- . ting and maintenance expenses, together with -)1
- osts, including a reasonable return on Applicant' Investcent, which are reasonably allocable to a transac;Ioa. However, no value shall be included for loss ot revenu's due to the loss of any wholesale or retail cust :er as a result of any transaction hereafter described.
s v
t.
-3r (2)
(a) Applicant will interconnect and coordinate reserves by means of the sale and exchange of emergency and scheduled maintenance bulk power with any neighboring entity (ics),
when there are not benefits to cach party, on terms that will provide for all of Applicant's properly assignable costs as may be determined by the Federal Power Commission and consistent with such cost assignment will allow the other party the fullest possibic benefits of such coordination. - -
(b) Emergency service and/or scheduled maintenance service to be provided by cach party will be furnished to the fullest extent available from the supplying party and desired by the party in need. Applicant and cach party will provide to the other emergency service and/or scheduled maintenance service if and when availabic from its own geacration and, in accordance with recognized industry practice, from generation of others to the extent it can do so without impairing service to its customers, including other electric systems to whom it has firm ccmmitments.
Each party to a reserve coordination arrangement will (c) establish its own reserve criteria, but in no event shall the minimum installed reserve on cach system be 1 css than 15%, calculated as a percentage of esticated peak load Either party, if it has, or has firmly responsibility.
planned, installed reserves in excess of the amount called for by its own reserve criterion, will of fer any such excess as may in fact be availabic at the time for which it is sought and for such period as the selling party shall determine for purchase in accordance with reasonable industry practice by the other party to meet The parties such other party's own reserve requirement.
will provide such amounts of spinning reserve as may be adequate to avoid the imposition of unreasonable demands on the other party (ies) in meeting the normal contingencies However, in no of operating its (their) system (s).
circumstances shall such spinning reserve requirement exceed the installed reserve requirement.
~
(d)
Interconnections will not be limited to low voltages when higher voltages are available from Applicant's installed facilities in the area where interconnection is desired and when the proposed arrangement is found to be technically and economically feasible.
(e) Interconnection and reserve coordination agreements will
-~
not embody provisions which icpose limitations upon the use or resale of power and encrgy sold or exchanged pursuant to the agreement.
Further, such arrangements will not prohibit the participants from entering into other interconnection and coordination arrangecents, but may include appropriate provisions to assure that (i)
Applicant receives adequate notice of such additional interconnection or coordination, (ii) the parties will jointly consider and agree upon such measures, if any, as are reasonably necessary to protect the reliability of the interconnected systems and to prevent ut.due burdens from being imposed on any system, and (iii) Applicant will be fully compensated for its costs.
Reasonabic industry practice as developed in the area from time to time will satisfy this provision.
(3) Applicant currently has on file, and may hereafter file, with the Federal Power Commission contracts with neighboring entity (ics) providing for the sale and exchange of short-term power and energy, limited term power and energy, economy energy, non-displacceent energy, and emergency capacity and energy.
Applicant will enter into contracts providing for the same or-for like transactions with any neighboring entity on terms which enable Applicant to recover the full costs allocable to such transaction.
(4) Applicant currently sells capacity and energy in bulk on a full requirements basis to several entities engaging in the distribution of electric power at retail. In addition, Applicant supplies electricity directly to ultimate users in a number of municipalities. Should any such entity (ies) or municipality (ics) desire to become a neighboring entity as defined in subparagraph (1)(b) hereof (either alone or through combination with others), Applicant will assist in facilitating-the necessary transition through the sale of partial requirements
- firm power and energy to the extent that, except for such transition, Applicant would otherwise be supplying firm power and energy. The provision of such firm partial requirements service shall be u'nder such rates, terms and conditions as shall be found by the Federal Pcwer Commission to provide for the recovery of Applicant's cost. Applicant will sell capacity and energy in bulk on a full requirements basis to any municipality currently served by Applicant when such cunicipality lawfully engages in the distribution of electric power at retail.
(5)
(a) Applicant will facilitate the exchange of electric power in bulk in wholesale transactions over its transmission facilities (1) between or anong two or more neighboring entities including distribution systems with which it is interconnected or may be interconnected in the future, and (2) between any such entity (ies) and any other electric system engaging in bulk power supply between whose facil-itics Applicant's transmission lines and other trans-mission lines would form a continuous electric path, provided that permission to utilize such other trans-mission lines has been obtained.
Such transaction shall be undertaken provided that the particular transaction reasonably can be accommodated by Applicant's transmission system from a functional and technical standpoint and does not constitute the wheeling of power to a retail customer.
Such transmission shall be on terms that fully compensate Applicant for its cost.
Any entity (ies) requesting such transmission arrangements shall give reasonable notice of its (their) schedule and requirements.
(b) Applicant will include in its planning and construction program suf ficient transmission capacity as required for the transactions referred to in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, provided that (1) the neighboring entity (ies) gives Applicant sufficient advance notice as may be necessary reasonably to acco==odate its (their) require-ments from a functional and technical standpoint and (2) that such entity (ies) fully compensates Applicant for its cost. In carrying out this subparagraph (b), however, Applicant shall not be required to construct or add transmission facilities which (a) will be of no demon-strable present or future benefit to Applicant, or (b) which could be constructed by the requesting entity (ies)
- 6,-
without duplicating any portion of Applicant's existing transmission lines, or (c) which would jeopardize Applicant's ability to finance or construct on reasonable terms facilities needed to meet its own anticipated system requirements. Where regulatory or environmental approvals are required for the construction or addition of transmission facilities, needed for the transactions referred to in subpar, graph (a) of this paragraph, it shall be the responsibility of the entity (ics) seeking the transaction to participate in obtaining such approvals, including sharing in the cost thereof.
(6) To increase the possibility of achieving greater reliability and economy of electric generation and transmission facilities, Applicant will discuss load projections and system developcent plans with any neighboring entity (ics).
(7) When Applicant's plans for future nuclear generating units (for which application will hereaf ter be made to the Nuclear Regulatory Cocmission) have reached the stage of serious planning, but before firm decisions have been made as te the size and desired completion date of the proposed nucicar units, Applicant will notify all neighboring entities includinh distribution systems with peak loads smaller than Applicant's that Applicant plans to construct such nucicar units.
Neither the timing nor the information provided need be such as to jeopardize obtaining the required site at the lowest possible cost.
(8) The foregoing commitments shall be i=plemented in a canner consistent with the provisions of the Federal Power Act sad all other Inwful local, state and Federal regulation and authority. Nothing in these cocaiteents is intended to determine in advance the resolution of issues which are properly raised at the Federal Power Commission concerning such commitments, including allocation of costs or the rates to be charged.
Applicant will negotiate (including the execution of a contingent statement of intent) with respect to the foregoing commitments with any neighboring' entity including distribution systems where applicable engaging in or proposing to engage in bulk power supply transactions, but Applicant shall not be required to cater into any final arrangement prior to resolution of any substantial questions as to the lawful authority of an entity to engage in the transactions.
y 7.-
In addition, Applicant shall not be obligated to enter into a given bulk power supply transaction if:
(1) to do so would violate, or incapacitate it from perfonning, any existing lawful contracts it has with a third party; (2) there is contemporaneously availabic to it a competing or alternative arrangement which affords it greater benefits which would be mutually exclusive of such arrangement; (3) to do so would adversely affect its. system operations or the reliability of power supply to its customers, or (4) if to do so would jeopardife Applicant's ability to finance or construct on reasonable teros facilities uceded to acet its own anticipated system requirements.
