c September 9, 1985 7590-01 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COPHISSION DOCKET NO. 50-461A ILLIN0IS POWER COMPANY, 50YLAND POWER COOPERATIVE, INC.

AND WESTERN ILLINDIS POWER COOPERATIVE, INC.

NOTICE OF UPDATED FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT ANTITRUST CHANGES AND TIME FOR FILING REQUESTS FOR REEVALUATION The Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has made a finding in accord-ance with Section 105c(2) of. the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, that no significant (antitrust) changes in the licensees' activities or proposed activities have occurred subsequent to the construction permit review of Unit 1 of the Clinton Power Station by the Attorney General and the Commission. The finding is as follows:

"Section 105c(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, provides for an antitrust review of an application for an operating license if the Comission determines that significant changes in the licensee's activities or proposed activities have occurred

[

subsequent to the previous construction permit review. The t

Comission has delegated the authority to make the "significant change" determination to the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Based upon an examination of the events since issuance of the clinton 1 and 2 construction permits to the Illinois Power Company, the staffs of the Antitrust and Economic Analysis Section of the Site Analysis Branch, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and the Antitrust Section of the Office of the Executive Legal Director, hereafter referred to as " staff," have jointly concluded, d

\\L$

/

r-

]

. after consultation with the Department of Justice, that the changes that have occurred since the antitrust construction permit review are not of the nature to require a second anti-trust review at the operating license stage of the application.

"In reaching this conclusion, the staff considered the structure of the electric utility industry in central and southern Illinois, the events relevant to the Clinton construction permit review and the events that have occurred subsequent to the construction permit review and the initial no significant change analyses.

"The conclusion of the staff's analysis is as follows:

' Staff completed its initial antitrust operating license review of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station (Clinton) in I

February of 1982. Several changes in the applicants' t;

activities since the original construction permit (CP) review in 1974 were identified; however, staff concluded

that, i

" Based upon the successful implementation of CP license conditions and the lack of any detrimental conduct or activity (to the competitive process in central and southern Illinois) on the part of Illinois Power Company, Soyland Power Cooperative

=

. or Western Illinois Power Cooperative, staff recom-mends that no affirmative significant change deter-mination be made pursuant to the application for an operating license for Unit 1 of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station."

(Clinton " Finding of No Significant Antitrust Changes," March 11, 1982, Federal Register,

p. 10655.)

'Since the staff completed its initial antitrust operating license review in February of 1982, there have been construc-tion delays necessitating changes in scheduled fuel. load dates for the Clinton plant. Fuel loading is now scheduled for January of 1986, approximately four years after the staff P

completed its initial antitrust review. Staff felt this four

. f-year period created a " review vacuum" and requested updated g

I information from the applicants pursuant to any changed activity since the initial antitrust operating license review.

'After reviewing the updated Regulatory Guide 9.3 information and contacting various electric utility representatives in l

Illinois and other interested parties, staff identified several changes in the applicants' activities (principally those of

i

. 1 Illinois Power Company) since the initial operating license review. Many of the changes, e.g., new interconnections and f

partial requirements wholesale power sales, by Illinois Power Company, represented extensions of those changes identified in j

the original operating license review and have provided additional procompetitive stimuli to the Illinois bulk power industry.

Smaller power systems in Illinois have been able to successfully

" shop" for alternative sources of power and energy. Applicants Illinois Power Company, Soyland Power Cooperative, Inc. and j

Western Illinois Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. have initiated a study to determine whether or not future jointly owned generat-ing facilities would be economically feasible. New transmission agreements have been consumated between Illinois Power and its f

i wholesale power customers that provide these smaller power systems with the means to take advantage of the benefits nor-t mally associated with larger, fully integrated power systems, e.g., access to short term economy and diversity power and energy sales and access to transmission for long term block purchases of power and energy from a number of different power suppliers.

i Increased coordination between those fully integrated power systems and the smaller, less diversified power systems has led to greater competition in the Illinois bulk power industry. This trend toward l

greater coordination among industry participants began with the l

. institution of antitrust license conditions at the construction permit review stage.

'The changes that have been identified since the construction per-mit review have by and large provided momentum for greater coordi-nation, and consequently increased competition between all groups of power supply systems in central and southern Illinois. Staff observed this trend toward increased competition among bulk power suppliers in its initial antitrust operating license analysis.

This trend has continued since 1982 and consequently staff sees no reason to change its recomendation that "no affimative significant change determination be made pursuant to the appli-cation for an operating license for Unit 1 of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station."'

t

" Based on the staff's analysis, it is my finding that a formal

/

operating license antitrust review of the Clinton Power Station, Unit 1 is not required."

Signed on September 4,1985 by Harold R. Denton, Director of Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

. Any person whose interest may be affected by this finding may file with full particulars a request for reevaluation with the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.

20555 for 30 days from the date of the publication of the Federal Rereste-4 notice. Requests for a reevaluation of the updated no significant changes determination shall be accepted after the date when the Director's finding becomes final but before the issuance of the OL only if they contain new infonnation, such as infonnation about facts or events of antitrust sig-

- nificance that have occurred since that date, or information that could not reasonably have been submitted prior to that date.

Introduction A prospective operating licensee is not required to undergo a femal anti-trust review unless the Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC or Comission)*

detemines that there have been "significant changes" in the licensee's activities or proposed activities subsequent to the review by the Attorney General and the Comission at the construction permit (CP) stage. Concen-tration on changes in the applicant's activities since the previous antitrust review expedites and focuses the review on areas of possible competitive con-flict heretofore not analyzed by the Attorney General or the Comission.

In its Sumer decision.** the Comission has provided the staff *** with a set of criteria to be used in making the significant change determination for operatinglicense(OL) applicants:

"The statute contemplates that the change or changes (1) have occurred since the previous antitrust-review-of-the-1icensee(s),

" ~~ ~ '

(2)arereasonablyattributabletothelicensee(s);and(3)have antitrust implications that would most likely warrant some Connission remedy."****

i To warrant a significant change finding, i.e., to trigger a fobnal OL antitrust review, the particular change (s) must meet all three of these criteria.

I On February 23, 1982, the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation issued a finding pursuant to' the antitrust operating license 3

review for Unit 1 of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station (hereinafter Clinton) recommending that no formal operating i,1 cense antitrust review was required

{

j for Clinton.*

Since the Director's initial finding in 1982, the fuel load

\\

date for Clinton was changed twice, fron) January of 1983 to January of 1984

\\

and from January 1984 to January 1986. 'The original change in the fuel load

\\

date created a gap in staff's anti *; rust hperating license review and ant i

i much of the data used by staff in its original review procedure.

\\-

Consequently, staff initiated a " monitoring review" of Clinton which was completed in January of 1983.**

Staff's monitoring review "found no reason to amend its

~

'no significant change' determination pur uant to Unit 1 of the Clinton i

Nuclear Station."***

I As a result of the change to the most recent fuel load date, i.e., January i

I of 1986, applicant's original (and most comprehensive) data submission would be almost six years old at the time of fuel load and staff felt not an ade-quate reflection of the current status of applicants' activities in central i

s 3-and southern Illinois. For this reason staff requested updated data responses from all applicants pursuant to changed activity since the original OL antitrust data response in May of 1980. After reviewing these data and after contact with members of the electric power industry in Illinois, staff recomends that no affirmative significant change finding be made pursuant to Unit 1 of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station.

II. Structure of the Electric Power Industry in Illinois The basic structure of the electric power industry in Illinois has not changed since staff's original significant change review. The state is still separated into Chicago area and non-Chicago area components with large investor owned utilities dominating each segment. The Chicago area is served by one of the largest domestic electric power companies, Common-wealth Edison Company. The remainder of the state, from the north central portion to the southern tip of the state, is served by a group of power ccapanies including municipal, cooperative and private power companies.

The relevant marketing area for the Clinton power station focuses on the central and southern portions of the State of Illinois, i.e., the area in which the incidence of any anticompetitive practices associated with the activities of the owners of Clinton will have the greatest impact. This 1s the area in which the three applicants serve and the area where the l

use of the power and energy generated by the Clinton plant will be most concentrated.

Applicant Systems l

Illinois Power Company, with approximately 82% ownership of the plant, is j

the lead applicant responsible for construction and operation of the plant.

The remaining 18% of the plant is owned by two cooperative power systems, Western Illinois Power Cooperative (WIPCO) and Soyland Power Cooperative (Soyland).

Illinois Power Company is a fully integrated power system (i.e., engaged in generation, transmission and distribution of electric power and energy) i i

serving primarily the central and southern portions of the State of Illinois.

I Western Illinois Power Cooperative is a GAT cooperative -- engaged primarily

)

in the generation and transmission of electric power and energy serving j

distribution cooperative members in the west' central portion of the state.

Soyland Power Cooperative was established by a group of 15 distribution cooperatives specifically to acquire an ownership interest in Clinton. The j.

i members currently provide service to retail loads in central and southern portions of Illinois.

(See Appendix A for a more detailed description of j

applicant systems.)

of Justice (Department or DOJ) and the Commission at the construction per-mit (CP) stage in the early 1970's. During the construction pemit review, i

"... the staffs of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the AEC/NRC became aware of certain allegations of misconduct by Illinois Power in conjunction with its dealings with cooperative and municipal power systems in or adjacent to Illinois Power's service area."*

After additional data was collected and the anticompetitive concerns were fully aired, the applicant agreed to a set of policy connitments intended to prohibit any future refusals to deal or similar anticompetitive conduct by Illinois Power Co. in its dealings with other power entities in or adjacent to its service area. These policy commitments later became license conditions that were attached to the Clinton construction permits.** Based upon the policy connitments agreed to by Illinois Power and the inclusion of these connitments as license conditions to the Clinton construction per-mits, the Department issued an advice letter to the Commission dated April 29, 1974 reconnending no hearing. No petitions to intervene were received and the CP antitrust review was effectively completed with the 1

publication of the advice letter in the Federal R_ecister in May of 1974.

Operating License Review

~

As indicated supra, the Commission's operating license review focuses only on changes in the applicants' activities since the antitrust review at the construction permit review stage. After reviewing the data submitted by the applicants pursuant to changes since the CP review, talking to members in the industry and reviewing various public documents,

" Staff identified a number of changes that. (1) have occurred since the construction permit antitrust review, and (2) are reasonably attributable to the licensee (s).

[Thereby meeting two of the Sumer criteria necessary for a "significant change."] However,many of these changes are in conformance with the' construction permit anti-trust license conditions and have had positive performance effects on the availability of bulk power supply and on competition in the

}

i area generally. Other changes which have occurred inve not had significant negative antitrust implications that would warrant a Commission remedy, and therefore do not. warrant a significant change finding."*

Monitoring Revie.w Subsequent to staff's initial significant change analysis in February of 1982, the fuel load date for Clinton was changed from January of 1983 to January of 1984.

Staff felt such a development necessitated a " fresh look" at the Illinois electric bulk power industry and any changes in the activi-ties of the Clinton applicants in particular. The staff monitoring review i

was not intended as an in depth significant change analysis, but more of a flash review, intended to pick up flegrant changes in conduct or particular complaints from affected parties engaged in or interested in the Illinois electric power industry.

(The fomality and extensive data requests that characterize the significant change analysis are not a part of the monitorin reviewprocess.) Staff's monitoring review for Clinton was completed in January of 1983. The review concluded, "In sum:

Because of a delay in issuing the Clinton Unit 1 OL, i

. staff has reviewed Illinois Power's activities since last con-ducting its significant change analysis appro::imately a year ago.

No one has come forth to re cant change detemination,' quest reevaluation of staff's signifi nof have~th' era been any submissior.s of complaints or views af affected parties during the interim since February 1982.

significant change' detemination pursuant to Unit 1 of the Clinton Nuclear Station."*

IV. Changes Since the Initial Operating License Review I

Considering the most recent delay in fuel loading from January of 1984 to January of 1986, and the fact that staff's broad data base of the Illinois electric power industry is based upon dated information, i.e., that pro-i vided by the applicant in 1980, staff decided to request updated responses i

to Regulatory Guide 9.3* from the applicants and conduct a supplemental 1

significant change analysis, focusing on those changes which have taken place since the initial operating license review was completed in 1982.

This supplemental significant change review, in conjunction with staff's 1982 and 1983 reviews, encompasses all of applicants' changed activity

{

(with competitive implications) since the antitrust review at the construc-tion pemit stage.

From the applicants' updated responses to Regulatory Guide 9.3** and infor-nation gathered from public print sources as well as contacts with govern-mental agencies and members of the electric power industry, staff has

identified several changes associated with the applicants' conduct and I

activity since the initial significant change review.

Among the three applicant systems, Illinois Power Company has experienced the greatest number of changes (with possible competitive implications) since the initial OL review. As evidenced during the original OL review, these changes have come about largely through new interconnections and sales of wholesale power by Illinois Power Company to smaller power systems

{

i in Illinois.

t A.

Interconnections i

The trend toward new interconnections involving all applicant systems and l

particularly Illinois Power evidenced during the initial OL review has I

j continued.

Illinois Power has consummated a number of interconnections, i

i

~

with both large and small systems, since 1982.

Illinois Power Co./ Southern Illinois Power Coop. -- In i

September of 1984 Illinois Power energized a 138 kV interconnection i

withtheSouthernIllinoisPowerCoopeca^ive(SIPC). Representatives of both parties began discussiore t Fir > tt' to the feasibility of an I

t interconnection between the two wyst %. chat, according to SIPC, would eliminate the need for SIPC to construct approximately 16 1

miles of 69 kV line.

The two systems are presently interchanging I

. Illinois Power Co./ Western Illinois Power Coop. -- On i

June 25,1982 a 138 kV interconnection between Illinois Power and i

one of its co-applicant systems in the Clinton project, Western Illinois Power Cooperative (WIPCO), was coupleted. The interconnec-s tion was initiated by WIPC0 primarily to sarve one of its customers, a coal company.

t Another 138 kV interconnection between Illinois Power and WIPCO was t

completed on August 30, 1982. The. interconnection was initiated by l

i WIPC0 according to Illinois Power "in drder to improve service to the 1

Illinois Power Co./ Farmer City -- An interconnection to provide wholesale power service to the Farmer City electric system was energized in October of 1984.

i Illinois Power Co. has energized numerous interconnections since the initial OL antitrust review in 1982. New agreements have been consumated with both large, fully integrated power systems as well as smaller municipal and cooperative power systems. The new interconnections identified by staff represent a continuation of a trend toward interconnection which was stimu-lated by the antitrust license conditions attached to the Clinton construc-tion permit as well as general. reliability and service requirements imposed upon a large public utility system.

It is staff's view that applicants' interconnections since the CP antitrust review have had a procompetitive effect upon the bulk power services market in central and southern Illinois.

i To the extent that new interconnections have increased reliability of par-4

~

ticipating power systems and broadened access to power supply alternatives for Illinois power entities, staff would encourage applicants to continue the development of new interconnections and interconnection agreements evidenced since the completion of the construction pemit review.

Wholesale Power Developments f

antitrust review.

-. q i i 1.

During the period 1981-82, the City of Flora Illinois expressed an interest in purchasing wholesale for resale power from Illinois Power. According to a representative of the City, Illinois Power offered to supply the City; however, the City managed to negotiate a more favorable agreement with another bulk power supplier.

1 2.

As a result of the newly energized interconnection between

)

Illinois Power and Farmer City Illinois (see " Interconnections"), the City requested and received full requirements wholesale power from Illinois Power beginning on October 4,1984.

3.

According to Illinois Power's Regulatory Guide 9.3 response, the City of Red Bud, Illinois expressed interest in obtaining wholesale service from Illinois Power. When contacted, the City representative stated that Red Bud had no interest in service from Illinois Power.

4.

The Mt. Carmel Public Utility Co. began taking partial l'

requirements wholesale service from' Illinois' Power on~ January 1, 1983.

Illinois Power delivered power under this Purchase Power Agreement to Central Illinois Public Service Co., which in turn provided trans-mission service for delivery of the power to Mt. Carmel. Effective l

January 1,1984, Mt. Carinel transferred to a full requirements whole-sale Purchase Power Agreement and. began taking all of its power require-ments from Illinois Power Co. over the transmission lines of Central l

Illinois Public Service Co.

Once the interconnection between Illinois Power ~and the Southern Illinois Power Cooperative was energized in September of 1984(see" Interconnections"),thecoopbeganpurchasingblocksof short term wholesale power from Illinois power, reportedly utilizing the full 40 MW capacity of the intertie.

6.

The Wabash Valley Power Association was involved in dis-cussions with Illinois Power in the spring /sunener of 1984 pursuant to the purchase of a large block of short term power. The generation and transmission cooperative did not consununate a power purchase agree-ment with Illinois Power because Wabash was able to negotiate a more favorable purchase agreement with another supplier.

7.

On May 24, 1983 Western 11'11nois Power Cooperative entered j

into a new three year agreement for purchase of power from Illinois

{

Power Co. The agreement will terminate upon comunercial operation of i

the Clinton nuclear plant. The agreement provides supplemental power.

j to WIPCO until such time that WIPCO, a co-owner of the Clinton nuclear j

plant, can begin taking power from the plant once it begins to produce comunercial electric power.

As part of a FERC rate settlement reached with its wholesale power customers on November 18, 1983, Illinois Power agreed to a Short i

Term Energy Transmission Agreement and a long term Electric Transporta-tion Service Agreement. These particular service agreements now allow Illinois Power's smaller wholesale customers to more effectively shop for competitively priced power in both the market for " spot" or short term econonty and diversity power and energy, as well as longer term (more than 5 years) power from various power suppliers interconnected

{

with the Illinois Power system.

These two transmission agreements complement agreements reached earlier between Illinois Power and its wholesale customers that enabled these customers to take partial requirements power from Illinois Power.

(See Appendix F of the initial antitrust operating license review.) These two transmission agreements represent positive, proconipetitive developments since the earlier OL antitrust review, allowing smaller power sfstems to com-pete more effectively with the larger, fully integrated power systems for the most efficient sources'of power and energy in and adjacent to.

the Illinois bulk power market.

Those changes attributable to the applicants which have taken place in the Illinois wholesale power market since the initial Clinton operating 1

j license review have for the most part been representative of a continuum which began after the completion of the antitrust construction permit l

review. Power systems, both large and small, have continued their i

efforts to minimize costs by " shopping" for the most cost efficient l

source of power to meet their individual loads. The Wabash' Valley Power i

i Cooperative and the City of Flora expressed interest in purchasing whole-sale power from Illinois Power but managed to negotiate more favorable agreements with other suppliers. The Mt. Carmel Public Utility Co. (a i

private power company located in Mt. Carmel Illinois), the Southern Illinois Power Cooperative and the Farmer City electric system all have

't begun taking wholesale power from Illinois Power since the original OL review. Moreover, the Western Illinois Power Cooperative has negotiated new interconnection and wholesale power agreements with Illinois Power that will enable WIPC0 to meet anticipated load deficiencies until Clinton comes on line.

A1.1 of these developments in the Illinois wholesale bulk power market 4

point toward the continuation of increased coordination and competition 1

among industry members evidenced during the initial operating license 4

antitrust review. Staff encourages industry members to continue to

" test the market" and explore new alternative sources of power supply..

The wholesale power developments identified since the original OL anti-i trust review have come about largely as a result of the antitrust license conditions attached to the Clinton construction permit and for the most i

part have resulted from procompetitive forces at work in the Illinois i

wholesale bulk power market.

Mergers and Acquisition Involving Applicant Systems Since the initial OL antitrust review was completed in 1982, staff has identified two proposed mergers and one acquisition involving applicant systems.

1'.

Early in 1981 Illinois Power Company began discussions with the Cedar Point Light & Power Company regarding a merger of the two systems. On March 29, 1985, Illinois Power purchased the assets of Cedar Point Light & Power. Cedar Point was a privately owned electric distribution system serving approximately 180 custo-mers in the Illinois town bearing the same name. Prior to the acquisition, Cedar Point purchased 100% of its power requirements from the Illinois Power Company.

2.

Illinois Power and the Mt. Cannel Public Utility Company executed a stock exchange merger agreement late in 1981. The companies are presently awaiting federal and state regulatory approval before proceeding with the merger.*

  • I!!ir.cis Power and the Mt. Carmel Public Utility Com agreement with the Illinois Commerce Comission (ICC)pany filed the merger on December 7, 1981.

The Central Illinois Public Service Co. intervened and protested the proposed The ICC initially ruled against the Illinois Power /Mt. Carmel merger, merger.

indicating that greater cost efficiencies would result from a Mt. Cannel / Central Illinois Public-Service Co. merger.

The case was introduced into the judicial system at the circuit court level where the ICC ruling was upheld--ruling against the Illinois Power /Mt. Cannel merger.

the decision which was overruled by the appellate court.Both Illinois Power and Ml i

The State of Illinois l

appealed the appeals court ruling to the State Supreme Court where the case is now pending.

l i

The Illinois Power /Mt. Carmel merger is also awaiting approval before the

[

Federal Energy Regulatory Comission (FERC). Docket No. EC82-4-00. At the request of Illinois Power Company, the FERC delayed a ruling on the merger pending a resolution at the State level; however, the FERC has recently l

decided to proceed with its own hearings and not wait for the ruling by the Illinois State Supreme Court.

Cooperative and Soyland Power Cooperative. A copy of a " Coordination I

" General Provisions" of the Agreement.

Staff does not believe that the Cedar Point acquisition or the proposed Mt. Carmel merger pose significant anticompetitive problems in the Illinois t

bulk power market. Both systems serve small municipalities and were 4

wholesale customers of Illinois Power prior to being acquired.

4 either system standing alone. For example, the Coordination and 0peration Agreement between Soyland and WIPC0 provides for a joint pooling of the resources of each system,

"... in order that adequate supplies of electric power and energy be delivered to load centers of the distribution cooperative member-consumers of Soyland and WIPC0 on a cooperative not-1 for-profit basis at the lowest feasible cost through the cor di-nation and use of the facilities and capabilities of both Soyland and WIPC0 acting as a single entity."*

l Soyland's member systems are located primarily in central and southern i

Illinois, while WIPCO's member systems primarily serve the western counties of Illinois. The combination of the two systems should result in cost efficiencies normally associated with membership in an operating pool once Soyland becomes a generating entity, i.e., when Clinton comes on line. The more efficient Soyland/WIPC0 has the potential to provide i

j stronger competition in the Illinois bulk power industry, particularly in its dealings with larger more fully integrated power systems.**

bulk power market as a result of the acquisition or proposed mergers which

have occurred since the original 01. antitrust review.

Miscellaneous Changes I

Staff has identified additional, unrelated, changes in applicants' conduct and activity since the initial OL review, none of which have resulted in significant negative competitive impact upon the Illinois bulk power industry.

i 1.

Co-owners Soyland Power Cooperative and Western Illinois Power Cooperative initially agreed to a combined 20% ownership share i

in the Clinton nuclear plant. Due to cost overruns associated with

}

the construction of the plant Soyland and WIPC0 have placed a dollar j

limit on their participation in the plant of.$450 million. According to Illinois Power, this sum now amounts to an ownership interest of approximately 18%.

l 2.

During 1983 Illinois Power Co. entered into discussions with

~

the City of Peru Illinois pursuant to a requ'est by the City to trans port energy for the City from its proposed Starved Rock Hydro Plant to l

the City's distribution facilities.

Illinois Power made a proposal to transport the puwer, however, the City cancelled its plans to build the i

l hydro facility and consequer.tly no transmission agreement was consunnated with Illinois Power.

t I

3.

Effective June 8, 1983, eight members of the Soyland Power Cooperative, which had been purchasing their wholesale power require-ments directly from Illinois Power Co., had their wholesale power

a, mm_a~ n.an. ~..,

... ~,.

contracts assigned to Soyland (at Soyland's request). Subsequent to this date, these eight distribution coop members have been served directly through the parent, Soyland.

The rationale for this change-over, according to Soyland, was to realize administrative efficiencies associated with a more closely monitored power supply for all of its member systems.

(Presumably, these administrative efficiencies would become operating efficiencies once Soyland became a generating entity l

with the commercial operation of the Clinton power station.)

None of these miscellaneous changes have had any significant negative impact on tne aihnois bulk power market.

Co-owner's Soyland and WIPC0 have assessed their comitment and ability to financially participate in the Clinton project and have reached a business decision to limit their' participation in the plant.

to $450 million. Though Illinois Power wi11 retain any ownership rights over and above the Soyland/WIPC0 comitment, staff believes that*the co-owners made a business decision based upon their ability to pay for their share of the plant and were not pressured into giving up a portion of the plant to Illinois Power.

Moreover, the decision by Soyland to consolidate its wholesale power contracts and the decision by the City of Peru not to build a hydro facility have not had significant detrimental effects upon the Illinois bulk power industry.

V.

Sumar.y and Conclusion Staff completed its initial antitrust operating license review of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station (Clinton) in February of 1982. Several changes in the

applicants' activities since the original construction permit (CP) review in 4

1974 were identified; however, staff concluded that.

[

i i

" Based upon the successful implementation of CP license conditions and the lack of any detrimental conduct or activity (to the competitive process in central and southern Illinois) on the part of Illinois Power Company, Soyland Power Cooperative or Western Illinois Pcwer 4

Cooperative, staff recommends that no affirmative significant change determination be made pursuant to the application for an operating license for Unit 1 of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station."

(Clinton " Finding of No Significant Antitrust Changes," March 11, 1982 Federal Register, p.10655.)

1 i

j Since the staff completed its initial antitrust operating license review in February of 1982, there have been construction delays necessitating changes 1

I in scheduled fuel load dates for the Clinton plant. Fuel loading is now i

scheduled for January of 1986, approximately four years after the staff com-plated its initial antitrust review.

Staff felt this four year period created a " review vacuum" and requested updated information from the applicants i

i pursuant to any changed activity'since the initial antitrust operating license review.

1 After reviewing.the updated Regulatory Guide 9.3 information and contacting i

various electric utility representatives in Illinois and other interested

{

parties, staff identified several changes in the applicants' activities j

(principally those of Illinois Power Company) since the initial operating license review.

Many of the changes, e.g., new interconnections and partial i

requirements wholesale power sales, by' Illinois Power Company, represented i,

extensions of those changes identified in the original operating license review and have provided additional procompetitive stimuli to the Illinois i

industry. Smaller power systems in Illinois have been able to successfully " shop" for alternative sources of power and energy." Applicants Illinois Power Company, Soyland Power Cooperative. Inc. and Western Illinois Electric Power Cooperative. Inc. have 'nitiated a study to determine whether f

i I

or not future jointly owned generating facilities would be economically feasible.

i New transmission agreements have been consuunnated between Illinois Power and I

its wholesale power customers that provide these smaller power systems i

with the means to take advantage of the benefits normally associated with

{

1arger, fully integrated pwer systems, e.g., access to short term economy I

and diversity power a.d energy sales and access to transmission for long term l

i i

block purchases of power and energy from a number of different power suppliers.

g Increased coordination,between those fully integrated power systems and the smaller, less diversified power systems has led to greater competition in the Illinois bulk power industry. This trend toward greater coordination among i

industry participants began with the institution of antitrust license condi-i l

tions at the construction permit review stage.

i 1

The changes that have been identified since the construction permit review have by and large provided momentum for grea'ter coordination, and consequently i

l increased competition, between all groups of power supply systems in central and southern Illinois. Staff observed this trend toward increased competition among b'ulk power suppliers in its initial antitrust operating license analysis.

I This trend has continued since 1982 and consequently staff sees no reason to change its recomunendation that "no affirmative significant change determina-tion be made pursuant to the application for an operating license for Unit 1 i

)

of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station."

Introduction Unlike the procedure established for review of construction permits, prospective operating licensees are not required to undergo formal antitrust reviews unless the NRC staff 1 has made the determination that there have been "significant changes" in the licensee's activities or proposed activities subsequent to the review by the Attorney General and the Commission at tNe construction permit (CP) stage.2 The Commission in its recent Summer 8 decision has provided the staff with a set of criteria to be used in making the significant change determination for prospective operating license (OL) applicants.

"T.'.: -t:tuta contemplates that the change or changes, (1) have occurred since the previous antitrust review of the licensee (s);

(2) are reasonably attributable to the licensee (s); and (3) have antitrust implications that would most likely warrant some Commission remedy."4 To warrant an affirmative significant change finding, i.e., tri gering a formal OL antitrust review, the particular change (s) must meet all three of these criteria'.

I i

Staff has documented two groupings of " changes" in its analysis of the Clinton OL application that warrant analysis under Summer:

1) those resulting from the

'This responsibility was officially delegated to the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation in a memorandum dated September 12, 1979 from Chairman Hendrie to the Directors of NRR and NMSS.

i o

applicant's CP license conditions; and 2) those not directly resultant from the CP license conditions.

Staff has found no change in either group that meets all three Summer criteria and consequently is not recommending a formal OL J

antitrust review.

To put these changes in prospective, it is helpful to first review the structure of the market pertinent to this review and the basis or benchmark from which change is measured.

i II.

Structure of the Electric Power Industry in Illinois l

The electric power industry in Illinois can be segmented into two portions, l

that integral to the City of Chicago and its surrounding area, and the remainder of the state.

I The Chicago area is serviced by one of the largest domestic electric power j

companies, Commonwealth Edison Company.

The remainder of the state (i.e.,

j from the north central portion, to the southern tip of the state) is serviced l

by a group of power companies including municipal, cooperative and private l

power companies.

j The relevant marketing area for the Clinton Nuclear Power Station focuses on the central and southern portions of the State of Illinois, i.e., the area

~

j in which the incidence of any anticompetitive practices associated with the activities of the Clinton Applicants will have the greatest impact.

This is t

i the area in which the three applicants serve and the area where the use of the power and energy generated by the Clinton nuclear plant will be most concentrated.

area, in terms of owned or controlled generating capacity, high voltage transmission facilities and electric load served.

In 1979, Illinois Power had

'4 7dQ N nf nanerating capacity; 2,448 miles of transmission lines 69 kv or higher; and a (summer) peak load of 3,019 N.

I Illinois Power's service area is concentrated in the central and southern portions of the state, where roughly 80% of its revenues are generated--the remainder of the Company's operating revenues comes from properties located in the northern portion of the state.

The three geographic service areas are

[

non-contiguous, however they are all linked by company-owned high voltage l

transmissiin lines as well as with interconnections to other power companies I

i in the area.

(See map of Illinois Power's service area, included as Appendix A.)

r Illinois Power's operating revenues for 1979 amounted to $752 million j

(approximately 65 percent from electric operations and 35 percent from gas tacility operations), with net income o'f $91 million.

f 2.

Central Illinois Public Service Company (Central Illinois) f I

f Outside of the Chicago area, in the lower two-thirds of the State, Central Illinois is the second largest IOU following closely behind Illinois Power in generating and transmission facilities owned and electric load served.

[

In 1979, Central Illinois owned or controlled 2,581 Mw of generating capacity; 3,581 miles of transmission line 69 kv or higher; and had a summer peak load.

of 1,818 N.

Central Illinois had operating revenues of $448 million for 1970 nd act income of $67 million.

t

  • I Central Illinois and Illinois Power are the principal producers of electric power and energy in the southern two-thirds of the state.

Each system is l

fully integrated and the two systems are also interconnected extensively by high voltage and extra high voltage transmission ties.

(

3.

Central Illinois Licht Company (Central Illinois Light)

Central Illinois Light's service area is primarily in'the central portion of the state centering around the cities of Peoria and Springfield, Illinois.

Although the Company is one of the smaller IOUs in the state, it has inter-connections with Central Illinois Public Service, Commonwealth Edison,. Illinois Power and the City of Springfield electric system to provide for interchange of electric energy on an emergency and mutual help basis.

In 1979 Central Illinois Light had generating capacity of 1,501 N, 339 miles of transmission line 69 kv or higher and a summer peak load of 1,055 N.

The Company's 1979 operating revenues amounted to $364 million with a net income of $53 million.

4.

Electric Energy. Inc.

The Company was incorporated in Illinois in 1950 by four private utility companiass to supply a specifled amount of firm power to an Atomic Energy Commission project near Paducah, Kentucky.

Electric Energy Inc. is interconnected with the four sponsoring companies and with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

Electric Energy, Inc. does not represent an integral competitive system in the area primarily because all power in, excess to that supplied to tee Federal installation in Paducah is contracted to each of the sponsoring companies in amounts equal to their ownership shares.

In 1979 Electric Energy, Inc. had generating capacity of 1,100 N, and 55 miles of transmission lines above 69 Kv.

Of the total generating capacity available, 735 Mw has been contracted to the government facility through December 31, 1989.

Operating revenues amounted to $124 million with $3 million not income for 1979.

'The sponsoring companies are:

Central Illinois Public Service Company, 20%

ownership; Illinois Power Company, 20% ownership; Kentucky Utilities Company, 20% ownership and Union Electric Company, 40% ownership.

}

outside of the Chicago area.7

L l

8. Municipal Electric Systems 2

Twenty-Three of the thirty-eight municipally owned electric systems in the state possess some degree of self generation.s Of these twenty-three systems, the largest is that owned and operated by the City of Springfield, Illinois l

with 530 Mw of capacity in 1979.

Most of the remaining generating municipals i

are very small and typically supply only portions of their loads, purchasing l

the remainder from other suppliers -- usually the larger 100's throughout the i

State.

(This is typical of the structural format for the industry nationwide, i

j with the larger private investor-owned companies supplying varying amounts of l

partial requirement service to the smaller self generating utilities and full t

i requirements service to those municipals or cooperatives with no generation.

1 j

There are however, pockets throughout th's industry where very large municipal j

or government systems, e.g., in the City of Los Angeles or the TVA throughout l

l the State of Tennessee respectively, where the private systems do not represent f

j thepredominantsourceofpowerandenergy,but,theseareasrepresentexceptions I

}

to the norm.) None of the municipal systems in Illinois is a co-owner of the l

Clinton nuclear plant, however, many of the systems have benefited from the license conditions attached to the Clinton construction permit.

See section entitled, " Changes Since the Construction Permit Review."

Beloit Water, Gas and Electric Company, Interstate Power Company, Union 1

Electric company and Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company.

(Though most l

C.

Cooperative Power Systems (Coops)

There are thirty rural electric coops in the state of Illinois, two of which are co-owners of the Clinton nuclear plant, i.e, Soyland Power Codperative, Inc. (Soyland) and Western Illinois Power Cooperative, Inc. (WIPCO).

The majority of the coops are distribution coops and have no generation or trans-I mission facilities of their own.

They are characteristically supplied by the private 100's or larger generation and transmission (G&T) coops serving in the area.

Presently, there are two G&T coops in the state, WIPCO and the Southern Illinois Power Cooperative (SIPCO).

SIPCO had generating capacity of 280 N in 1979 with 100 miles of transmission line supplying its three distribution

]

cooperatives at wholesale.

In 1979 WIPC0 had generating capacity of 57 N i

and 545 miles of transmission line.

Scyland is an organization (which presently has no generation or transmission facilities) set up to acquire a 10.5% interest in'Clinton Unit 1.

It'is com-prised of fifteen member distribution coops' located in the central and southern portions of the State of Illinois -- essentially, the non-Chicago area of the State.

Once Soyland Power Coop (Soyland) begi'ns taking Clinton nuclear power, i

it too will function as a G&T coop supplying its member systems with wholesale bulk power.

III.

The Construction Permit Antitrust Review 1

In order to make a "significant change" determination it is necessary to have some benchmark from which to measure " change." A brief resume of the results of the CP review should provide an adequate framework in which change can be i

measured.

i I

h l

'See Appendix C for names and addresses of Soyland members, and Appendix 0 i

l for names and addresses of WIPC0 members.

I 6

[

i i

t Illinois Power Company, the principal applicant and operator of the Clinton j

Plant, applied for a construction permit to build its first nuclear power plant in 1973.

Like all other non grandfathered nuclear applicants (those f

i applicants seeking cps or OLs after the 1970 amendment)

Illinois Power had to undergo an antitrust review at the CP stage to insure that its activities l

in connection with the construction of the plant did not " create or maintain f

a situation inconsistent with the antitrust laws" -- as prescribed by Sec. 105c f

of the amended Atomic Energy Act of 1954.

j r

i During the review process, the staff's of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the AEC/NRC became aware of certain allegations of misconduct by Illinois Power I

in conjunction with its dealings with cooperative and municipal power systems f

in or adjacent to Illinois Power's service area.

These concerns were addressed f

l by the Department in a letter to the AEC requesting additional information from the Applicant:

i L

j "Among the alleged matters with possible antitrust implications f

l which the Department (of Justice] seeks to clarify by means of f

the requested documents are:

refusals of the Applicant to inter-l I

connect with other electric utilities on reasonable terms; efforts l

to preclude development of alternative bulk power supply sources f

4 by others; acquisitions of other electric utilities; refusals to wheel power for small systems; allocation of territories and f

j restrictions on end use of purchased power."10 f

I d

After submitting additional clarifying data in response to D0J's dccument request and after the anticompetitive concerns were aired, the Applicant agreed l

to a set of policy commitments that were attached as license conditions to i

{

its construction permit for Units 1 and 2 of the Clinton nuclear plant, f

(

i

" Letter dated January 24, 1974 from Thomas Kauper, Assistant Attorney General, I

(signed by Joseph Saunders) to Howard Shapar, Assistant General Counsel, AEC.

I 7

i 7

i

o Generally, the policy commitments addressed the following areas: I!

Illinois Power (Company) will interconnect with any neighboring entity a.

and will assist in coordination of reserves and the sale of emergency and maintenance power to interconnected entitites; b.

Interchange arrangements between the Company and neighboring entities will not include restrictive provisions which would preclude a party from engaging in interconnection and coordination arrangements with others; c.

Interconnectons will be available for a neighboring electric system on any of the Company's installed transmission and subtransmission facilities; d.

The Company will afford an opportunity to participate to any neighboring electric system that makes a timely request therefor in the ownership (or unit power purchase) of the Clinton nuclear plant or any other nuclear plant owned by the Company which is scheduled for commercial operation prior to January 1, 1989; The Company will sell bulk power to any neighboring electric system with e.

no restriction upon use or resale; f.

The Company will wheel power over its transmission facilities; and, The' Company will include in its planning and construction programs g.

sufficient transmission capacity to provide for the wheeling requirements' of neighboring electric systems.

Subsequent to Illinois Power agreeing to the antitrust policy commitments listed above, the Department of Justice issued its CP advice to the Commission by letter dated April 29, 1974.

The letter concluded as follows:

    • 5ee Appendix E for complete listing of all of the antitrust conditions attached to the Clinton construction permit.

i 1

l j

"In our opinion, these policy commitments should provide competitors f

of Applicant with. competitive alternative sources of bulk power j

..d substantially eliminate the grounds on which complaints i

f made to the Department by smaller systems were based.

On the' strength of these policy commitments, and with the expectation that

{

the Commission will include them as conditions to the license, we f

conclude that an antitrust hearing will not be necessary with respect to the instant application.nxa l

l The Attorney General's advice letter was published in the Federal Register in

[

f May of 1974.

Since no petitions to intervene were received, the CP antitrust

{

j review effectively ended with the publication of,the Attorney General's advice i

l letter, although the construction permit was not issued until February of I

i i

j 1976.

l have been isolated:

1) changes resultant from implementation of CP license conditions; and 2) changes not directly related to the CP license conditions.

A.

Chances Resultina from License Conditions l

t Many of the changed activities which have occurred in the Illinois electric power industry since the CP antitrust review have resulted from extensive

{

negotiations between the larger IOU's, the smaller municipal and cooperative

[

systems and various governmental agencies concerning various forms of coordin-

[

ation and power supply.18 The fruits of these negotiations have been realized j

by many of the smaller systems in the area.

For example:

l l

6 1)

Several municipal generating systems have obtained interconnection agreements with Illinois Power Company, agreements that were similar to those Illinois Power already had with its neighboring investor-owned electric systems.

Although the interconnection agreements were imple-mented after the CP review terminated in 1974, they were directly

'f dustU,$~r"2""""'"'"'""'

n t

i 2)

The same municipals which sought in'terconnection agreements from j

Illinois Power have recently opted to take partial requirement l

wholesale service rather than taking service under the provisions of

'f

+

  • the previously negotiated interconnection agreements.

This represents l

a new option for t'hese systems; I

3)

Illinois Power entered into an interconnection agreement with the electric system operated by the City of Springfield, Illinois; 4)

Two smallet* power companies, Soyland and Western Illinois Power Coops, have purchased ownership shares of the Clinton Nuclear Plant, thereby sharing in the benefits of a 1,arge, fuel efficient baseload power plant; "I))inois Power is also currently involved in several rate proceedings with various Illinois runicipals before the FERC.

These issues were current during the CP review and consequently do not involve changes since that review.

For a brief description of these proceedings, see Appendix F.

10

_5)

The City of Waterloo, Illinois opted for a partial requirement wholesale power agreement rather'than agreeing to an offer of purchase l

(of its electric system) by Illinois Power; 6)

Illinois Power received interconnection requests from the Villages of Flora and Chatan, Illinois and from the Farmer City, Illinois electric system; 7)

The City of Springfield, Illinois has approached WIPCO regarding possible participation in a joint generating plant; and, 8)

As a result of WIPCO's 138 kv tie with, Illinois Power in 1978, the Coop became a member of NAPSIC (North American Power Systems Inter-connection Committee) a dats gathering organization formed to ensure acceptable levels of operation and reliability of its members.

Mtnougn tne above changes have occurred subsequent to the CP antitrust review, they were anticipated during that review as reflected in the CP license condi-tions.

Thus, in so far as the changes are consistent with those license conditions, they do not connote changes in the " proposed activities" of the Applicant.

Consequently, staff needs only to ' assure itself that these changes are indeed consistent with the license conditions.

As discussed earlier, the license conditions attached to the Clinton constructio'n permit were structured to remedy certain allegations of anticompetitive conduqt by Illinois Power.

Generally, the license conditions were-designed-to-increase----

the alternatives and opportunities of smaller systems in central and southern Illinois in their quest in seeking and obtaining sources of power supply, and specifically to facilitate both the sharing of nuclear power and the ancillary functions of power supply that make 4aseload nuclear desirable.

By increasing i

coordination between the various industry participants (notably the large and small systems), the newly acquired competitive alternatives listed above, have become significant (beneficial) determinants in the planning processes of smaller power systems in central and southern Illinois.

Moreover, the implementation of the license conditions has had positiv' performance effects e

i j

11 l

.]

on the availability of bulk power supply in central and southern Illinois, and should any antitrust significance be attributed to these activities, it would be constructive, i.e., not requiring any remedial action by the Comission.

8.

Chances Not Resulting from License Conditions There have been changes in the electric power industry in central and southern Illinois not directly attributable to the Clinton CP license conditions.

These changed activities, documented by the 9.3 response, have not detrimentally affected the competitive process among electric power systems in the relevant marketing area.

Moreover, these changed activities have had no negative anti-trust implications that would trigger a "significant change determination" as interpreted by the Commission in Summer.

The changes are as follows:

1)

The addition of new members to the Mid-American Interpool Network (MAIN):

a)

The Municipal Electric Utilities of Wisconsin, b)

Soyland Power Cooperative, Inc., and c)

Western Illinois Power Cooperative, Inc.

, Normally, the addition of new members to operating power pools directly increases the coordination and cooperation among power systems in common or adjacent marketing areas.

Even though the MAIN pool is basically a regional planning organization with little or no control over the operating practices of its members, the addition of the three new systems will enable them to participate in periodic planning sessions among regional systems and generally become more familiar with new generation and transmission planned for the area.

The admission of these new members to MAIN is a change since the CP review, however, this change is procompetitive and consequently does not satisfy the remaining two Summer criteria, i.e., attributable to the applicant and having negative antitrust implications; 12

.r 2)

Joint planning among Soyland Power Coop., Western Illinois Power

These three G&T cooperatives (Soyland will become a G&T "once it begins to receive Clinton power) have joined together to disucss the possibility of constructing various size coal-fired generating plants in the late 1980s.

Soyland has already contracted with the Peabody Coal Company for a one billion dollar, thirty year supply of coal for its plant to be built 'in Pike County, Illinois in the late 1980s."

This type of joint planning and development is indicative of competitive forces at work within the bulk power market.

By joining forces, these relatively small power suppliers are able to build a generating plant that will provide the benefits of large baseload power normally reserved for the large IOUs in the industry.

The increase in coordination, and cooperation among these firms has provided more meaningful competition between the large and the not so large power generating systems in central and southern Illinois.

Only the first Summer criterion is met by this change, i.e., the planning has occurred since the CP review.

The joint planning is not attributable to the applicant no'r does it carry any negative antitrust implications that would likely be remedied.by the Commission.

t

3), Illinois Power's new retail rate structure was redesignad to encourage off peak usage on its system.

Many systems throughout the country.

have instituted this retail rate structure-in an' attempt-to ward off-i or delay construction of costly new generating plants and to level i

their system loads throughout the year.

The Commission has no jurisdiction over retail rate structure and would not likely impose any remedy if a dispute over retail rates ever arose.

(Certain rate conflicts may fall within the purview of the Commission, e.g., when f

a wholesale rate and a retail rate are manipulated by an applicant to impose a " squeeze" on customers, however, this is not the case with the change instituted by Illinois Power);

"See the April 10, 1981 issue of the Wall Street Journal.

4)

Illinois Power has made offers to acquire three electric power systems since the completion of the CP review:

the City of Waterloo, the Village of Ladd and the private system supplying the City of Mt. Carmel (all Illinois systems).

In view-of Illinois Power's history of acquiring smaller electric systems t

in its area, it is important to fully consider these proposals, particularly in the context of the third Summer criterion, i.e., negative antitrust implications.

Prior to the institution of the CP license conditions, Illinois Power's prospective acquisition partners did not have the option of purchasing partial requirements power and thereby remaining more viable, independent power entities while at the same time meeting the future needs of their customers.

The Clinton license conditions provided the smaller systems in the relevant marketing area with an alternative to acquisition.

The municipal systems located in central and southern Illinois can now conduct feasi-bility studies and detemine if they can provide efficient and reliable service to their customers with various foms of sup-port available from Illinois Power Co., without being acquired by Illinois Power.

(Support Illinois Power has offered other interconnected systems in its area for years.) However, if these studies indicate that remaining in the electric power

~

industry is no longer feasible for the municipal, they may then choose to sell out to Illinois Power.

l The systems serving Mt. Camel and the Village of Ladd are l

very small and the City of Waterloo has exercised its recently obtained option and requested a partial requirement service agreement from Illinois Power, in lieu of being acquired, under the negotiated

" Agreement for Purchase of Power," dated May 1, 1979.

In this light, i

14

[

4 i

l

e o

N Illinois Power's recent overtures to purchase the electric facilities in Ladd, Waterloo and Mt. Carmel do meet the first two Summer M teria -- the activity has occurred since the CP review and is attributable to the Applicant -- however, the proposed a'cquisitions do not appear to detrimentally affect the competitive process in central and southern Illinois -- thereby failing to meet the-third Summer criterion dealing with significant antitrust implications capable of being remedied by the Commission.

Consequently, these overtures of acquisition do not invoke a significant change

  • determination; and lastly, 5)

A group of time-related changes has been documented since the CP antitrust review.

This grouping of changed activity is characterized by variations in system load and individual growth patterns and is largely dependent upon economic conditions within the service area of each individual system.

These changes are as follows:

4 a)

Western Illinois Power Coop (WIPCO) has planned to add new generating capacity to its system by adding a new 100 Mw coal 4

plant in 1988; i

i b)

WIPCO reduced the size of a newly planned turbine plant from 75 h to 72 Mw and slipped the planned on line date from 1985 to 1986; c)

WIPCO's projected annual load factor for 1979 was projected in, 1973 at 53, however, the actual load. factor for-the system for -

1979 was 50.9; 3

d)

WIPCC's peak load increased from 42 h in 1978 to approximately 45 % in 1979; e)

Illinois Power's peak load and generating. capability have

~

changed since 1976.

Net generating capability increased from approximately 3,400 Mw in 1976 to approximately 3,800 W in 1980, while peak load increased from 2,570 Mw to 3,150 W over the same period; and, i

1 15 l

f)

Soyland Power Cooperative has announced plans to construct a baseload coal-fired plant in Pike County, Illinois to go on line in the late 1980s.

The above changes meet the first two Summer criteria but not the third, i.e.,

the changes have occurred since the CP review and are attributable to 'the Applicant (s), however, none of the changes has negative antitrust implications and would not require Commission remedy.

In sum:

within the two groups of changes, those related and those unrelated to CP license conditions, staff has not identified any instances that satisfy all three of the Summer criteria.

Consequently, it is the staff's opinion that no affirmative significant change determination be made pursuant to Applicants' application for an OL for the Clinton nuclear plant.

V.

Summary and Conclusion The principal applicant, Illinois Power Company, represents the largest power system in the relevant marketing area.

Additions of large baseload power plants and increases in. accompanying transmission facilities generally tend to increase the oversight or planning role of the larger systems in a particular marketing area, i.e., usually enhancing any existing market power of the system.

By subjecting all nuclear applicants to an antitrust review at the CP stage, the NRC via its Section 105c charge, prevents the economies associated with large baseload nuclear plants from being captured by only the largest power systems throughout the country, thereby thwarting increases in existing market power.

During the Clinton CP antitrust review, it became apparent that Illinois I

Power had been less than cooperative with smaller power systems in its service area and adjacent areas.

Consequently, a set of antitrust license conditions was attached to the Clinton construction permit which was designed to implement i

4 greater coordination between Illinois Power and smaller municipal and cooperative systems in the relevant area - thereby furthering the competitive process among these same power systems.

The economies associated with the Clinton nuclear plant and those linked to Illinois Power's integrated network of power supply were subsequently made available to smaller systems in the area.

  • l 16 L

O O

e o

Staff has identified a' number of changes that, (1) have occurred since the construction permit antitrust review, and (2) are reasonably attributable to thelicensee(s).

However, many of these changes are in conformance with the construction permit antitrust license conditions and have had positive perfor-mance effects on the availability of bulk power supply and on competition in the area generally.

Other changes which have occurred, have not had significant negative antitrust implications that would likely warrant a Commission remedy, and therefore do not warrant a significant change finding.

Based upon the successful implementation of CP license conditions and the lack i

of any detrimental conduct or activity (to the competitive process in central and southern Illinois) on the part of Illinois Power Company, Soyland Power l

Cooperative or Western Illinois Power Cooperative, staff recommends that no I

affirmative significant change determination be made pursuant to the application for an operating license for Unit 1 of the Clinton Nuclear Power Station.

FERC Litigation Involving Illinois Power Company Wholesale Rate Proceedings i

Illinois Power and several municipalities in Illinois have been involved in various rate proceedings before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and its predecessor agency, the Federal Power Commission (FPC).

Many of the issues raised by the cities originated in the late 1960s and early 1

1970s and were resultant in part from Illinois Power's reluctance to offer power and back-up services to many smaller systems in its service area and also as a result of the oil squeeze beginning in the winter of 1973.

It is staff's opinion that the issues raised during these proceedings to date were current at the tilte of the CP antitrust review and for this reason do not represent changes (in activities or proposed activities) since the CP review.

f Moreover, the issues raised by the intervening parties addressed rate matters and would be more properly aired before the FERC, i.e., any negative antitrust implications would be more likely remedied before the FERC than the NRC.

Consequently, the issues pending before the FERC do not satisfy all 'f the o

criteria established by the NRC in Summer and no matter what the outcome before the FERC, these issues would not trigger an affirmative significant

}

I change finding and an ensuing OL antitrust review.

However, the issues and

~

contentions raised by the intervening parties before the FERC do shed light on competition among members.cf_the electric. power _ industry _in.Il.linois, Poweris

.m j

service area and for this reason a brief discussion seems in order.

In the late 1960s a group of Illinois (self generating) municipal electric l

systems comprised of the Cities of Breese, Carlyle, Highland, Mascoutah, Peru, i

Princeton, Waterloo and the Village of Freeburg, petitioned the Federal Power Commission, "for an order under Section 202(b) of the Federal Power Act requiring. Illinois Power Company to interconnect its facilities l

I l

I l

F-1 I

and exchtnga,cipacity and ansrgy with thIm on tha sama* terms as those prevailing in interconnection agreements between the Company

_[ Illinois Power] and its neighboring utilities."1 This case was settled in 1974 after Illin'ois Power agreed to t'he municipals' i

request for interconnection agreements.

At about the same time, Illinois Power agreed to a set of policy commitments (which later became foimal license conditions attached to the C1,inton construction permit) with the Department of Justice which required Ill'inois Power, inter alia,- to offer interconnections to neighboring power systems.

t

~

Suo' sequent to the municipalities' obtaining interconnections with Illinois Power, the oil embargo reached its peak and placed intense capacity and cost burdens on their systems.

(Their systems were largely comprised of oil-fired peaking facilities.) The municipal systems requested long-term power supply arrangements under existing interconnection agreements with Illinois Power, to assure continuous operation and reliability of their systems and to limit I

radical upward movements in their costs of supplemental power requirements i

in future years.

At issue before the FERC at present is the rate at which the

(

i

==ici;:c1:: would pay for the partial requirements power only recently offered by Illinois Power.

According to Illinois Power, the rate schedule under which the municipals had i

been taking service was not designed for long-term continuous reservations of' capacity, i.e., the type of service proposed by the municipals, because energy charges were unpredictable due to the incremental nature of the costs attribu-i table to said reservations'-#TitincT(76weFalWife'" twat enEr'gy'cfia7ges were '

}

d a function of hour-by-hour load conditions and capacity availability.

f The incremental cost issue was resolved when Illinois Power agreed to offer the municipals a partial requirement power agreement (also required by the license i

periods and bcsed upon fuel costs incurred by the company's plants during the period the contract,is in force.2 i

i In a separate proceeding, two municipal eiectric systems (Citie's of Ladd and Oglesby) and one small private distribution system (Cedar Point, Light and Water y Company) (all total requirements customers of Illinois Power) have intervened before the FERC to protest a }976 sholesale rate increase by the Company

(

(Dkt. E-9520).

The principa1 contention of the intervenors-was that-Illinois Power could not unilaterally rai,se rates under their existing contracts with

)

the Company.

Ultimately, the D.'. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the two C

Cities and against Cedar Point Light stating that Illinois Power's contract with Cedar Point Light permitted uniflateral raising of rates by Illinois Power.

This decision reversed the FERC order regarding Cedar Point.

The FERC has j

yet to respond to the Court of Appeals decision which was issued on August 21, 1979.

i i

In a similar rate proceeding involving the same parties (ER77-531), the intervenors petitioned the FERC requesting relief from another wholesale rate t

increase by Illinois Power in 1977.

The FERC recently ruled upon this inter-l f

vention3 by granting Illinois Power a two-tier rate increase.

Here again, the

{

issues in dispute were FERC issues and not 'NRC related issues and they were resolved accordingly, i

TVA and Union Electric Company.)

e

~

Moreover, the nature of these proceedings rests solely on justification of wheeling rates and it is staff's position that the actual determination of rates rests more within the jurisdiction of the FERC and not the NRC.

Conse-quently, staff believes that the issues raised in the generic Ordel No. 84 proceedings would not invoke antitrust implications that would warrant remedy by the NRC.

CLINTON NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 -- OL MONITORING REVIEW t

Construction delays have become c:mnon place for the nuclear power industry.

Applicants have delayed construction completion of facilities for months and j

sometimes several years from the time they initially have requested an operating license. From the standpoint of our significant change review, these delays i

I create voids in the review process 1f the OL significant change review is j

f completed far in advance of the construction completion date.

In the instant f

i case, the significant change review was completed in February of 1982 while j

i i

4 the construction completion date has been moved back to August 1984--leaving l

j a two and one half year void in the review process (one and a half years longer l

[

than our one year lead time). To remedy this chronic problem, AEAB has developed j

a " monitoring review" procedure that fills this void through periodic contact

{

t with pertinent power entities and research of public data, i.e., trade and l

related peHodicals.

i Staff completed its operating license significant change determination I

i (significant change) for Unit 1 of the Clinton Nuclear Plant on February 23 1982. The review concluded that no significant antitrust changes had occurred 1

since the completion of the construction permit (CP) antitrust review in May

[

{

of 1974. The no significant change determination was published in the Federal i

Register on March 11, 1982.

[

j The function of the significant change analysis is two-fold in that it,1) captures l

any changes in applicants' competitive activities since the CP review, and 2) reduce.,

Illinois Power Co. (lead applicant). Soyland Power Tooperative, Inc. and Western Illinois Power Cooperative Inc.

.m 2-the probability of a full-fledged antitrust review at the OL stage.

Certain antitrust license conditions were attached to the Clinton cps which.were designed to implement greater coordination between Illinois Fower Co. (IP) and smaller power ertities in central and southerr. Illinois. These conditions generally required IP to interconnect, participate in baseload nuclear plants, wheel power and sell bulk power to neighboring entities. With these conditions in mind, staff has initiated contact (telephonic) with several municipal power i

systems in and/or adjacent to IP's service area in an effort to determine if any changes in IP's activities (of a competitive nature) have taken place since the original _significant_ change determination was made in February of 1982.

City. Systems The city systems ranged in size from Farmer City Illinois with a peak load of approximately 4.5MW to the' City of Springfield, Illinois with generating t

capacity of over 500MW and a system peak of approximately 338MW.

Farmer City is involved in interconnection negotiations with Illinois Power., The represen-tative of the system contacted indicated that negotiations were continuing and that Illinois Power wanted the City as a customer and the only roadblock to the

~

interconnection to 'date has been attributable to difficulties in obtaining financ-ing for construction of the necessary facilities.

[

The City of Chatham, Illinois (peak load of approximately 10MW) requested an f

interconnection with Illinois Power in 1979, about the same time it.s wholesale supply contract was to expire with central Illinois Light Co. Tho interconnection i

was not built, according to the Mayor because IP refused to finance the entire j

construction cost of the required seven mile intertie line.

When asked if the City considered wheeling IP power (in lieu of constructing the direct tie line) l

. 4 over Central Illinois Light's (CILCO) lines, the Mayor said yes and that IP was willing, but the wheeling charges imposed by CILCO would have made the j

transaction uneconomical. According to the Mayor, the City negotiated a i

settlement with its existing supplier (CILCO) through 1986 that was very i

favorable to the City. The City was faced with expiration of its wholesale supply contract and after shopping around, ultimately negotiated a new contract with its existing supplier.

Illinois Power's responses to the City's requests l

do not appear anticompetitive--IP offered to wheel its power but did not feel it cost efficient to construct and finance a long intertie to a relatively small load.

(Moreover, the Mayor indicated that he had not had any contact with Illinois Power in the last 18-24 months--our monitoring is concerned with e

i thelast12 months.)

Waterloo, Illinois (approximately10mlsystempeak)energizedaninterconnection 3

with Illinois Power in 1979 and is now taking all of its requirements from IP.

i Illinois Power allows the City to peak shave with its own diesel capacity during i

the sununer months, i.e., credits the City's generation against power sales by 1

IP to the City. According to the Superintendent of the system, this is very

  • beneficial to the City and the arrangement has worked out fine to date.

LWaterloooptedtotakepowerfromIPinlieuofbeingacquiredbyIPinthe i

mid-1970's. Contact was initiated to determine how smoothly this arrangement i

wasgoing;7

~

The City of Springfield, Illinois was the largest system contacted, with 500MW f

of generation and of the systems contacted, probably most resembles Illinois Power's fully integrated power system.

The City energized its interconnection l

l t

. with TP in 107Q and according to the Superintendent of Electric Operations has had satisfactory dealings with the company ever since.

Presently,theCity and IP exchange emergency power when needed and share in economy power.transac-tions when available (the City usually sells more to IP than IP to City).

IP and the City also compete for wholesale loads, e.g., they share a conson tie with Western Illinois Power Cooperative and the coop has been served by both suppliers in the past.

During 1982, the City purchased more power from IP than it sold, however, this was primarily due to an emergency outage on the City's system in March of 1982 that lasted about three months.

During this period, Illinois Power supplied the City with both emergency and maintenance power. The City has also made use of IP transmission lines by wheeling over them in a sale of power to a neighboring private utility.

According to the superintendent, the Nty hu enjoyed a good working relationship with Illinois Power Co.

These four cities were chosen for individual coritact in the monitoring program because of their diversity in size and integration and tecause some had

~

experienced difficulty in dealing with Illinois Power Co. in the past.

The responses from these cities indicate that in terms of its dealing with smaller -

systems in its service area Illinois Power has not engaged in any anticompet-itive activity that would warrant staff changing its significant change determination reached in February of 1982.

(See notes of telephone conver-sations attached to this memorandum.)

Mt. Carmel Merger As mentioned in staff's significant chiinge analysis, Illinois Power tendered an offer to acquire a privately-owned, small electric system serving the City of Mt. Carmel Illinois.

The acquisition has yet to be consummated and in fact

4

  • t l

is being held up by the state consnerce commission. The acquisition is not being challenged under competitive reasons, but for reasons that pertain to reliability and serviceabil.ity to existing customers.

Staff still feel' this s

acquisition by IP poses no significant threat (or change since the February i

~

review for that matter) to competition in the bulk power industry in central I

and southern Illinois.

In sum: Becauseof$~ delay'inissbingtheClintonUnit1OL,staffhasreviewed Illinois Power's activities since last conducting its significant change analysis approximately a year ago. No one has come forth to request reevaluation of i

i staff's significant change determination, nor have there been any submissions I

of complaints or views of affected parties durina the interim since February.1982.

i After reviewina industry trade journals and initiatino contact with power entities in the relevant area, staff, as of this date, has found ne reason to l

i t

amend its "no significant change" determination pursuant to Unit 1 of the t

Clinton Nuclear Station.

Hardesty i

stated that IP wanted the City as a customer and the company was not holding up construction of the entertie.

-Phone #:

(217)483-2451 i

l The City had requested an interconnection with Illinois Power Co. (IP) in j

late 1979 and early 1980.

I phoned the City to ascertain the status of I

i this interconnection request.-

i

?

I originally telephoned Mr. Kaufman, however he referred me to the Mayor, 4

Mr. John Whitney, as he was the principal negotiator dealing with IP.

I i

left a message with Mr. Kaufman for the Mayor to phone me when he returned to the office. He returned my call later in the morning.

f

/

I asked him if he ever consumated the interconnection he requested from IP in 1979-80.

He said no, because IP was unwilling to pay for the cost of f

i constructing the seven mile tie necessary to serve the City.

l I asked the Mayor if he had considered having the IP power wheeled to the City over the existing Chatham/ Central Illinois Light Co. intertie (i.e., the 1

City'sexistingsupplier). He said he had looked into it but decided that the wheeling charge quoted by CILCO was exorbitant and would make the transaction

{

uneconomical.

l The request for an interconnection with IP came about after the City's wholesale

[

supply contract had expired with CILCO -- the City was searching for an alternative t

i power source to CILCO.

i l

i

. According to the Mayor,'the City negotiated a settlement with CILC0 through 1986 which was very favorable to the City--i.e., in terms of rate increases over the life of the contract.

Mayor Whitney stated that he hadn't had any contact with IP in the last 18-24 months. Although the City is now taking all of its power from CILCO, the Mayor stated that when it comes time to negotiate a new supply contract he wouldcontactWIPCO(WesternIllinoisPowerCoop)whichhadjustbuilta transmission line near the City as well as other surrounding systems capable of serving the City.

(These include CILCO, CIPSCO (Central Illinois Public Service Co.) City of Springfield and IP.)

N~

In sum:

the Mayor has had no contact with IP since staff's significant change review was completed.in March of 1982, therefore no changes can be attributed to IP activity in regards to the City of Catham since this determination was made.

Contact:

Mr. P. Schlemmer, Superintendent of Electric Department Phone f:

(618)939-6413 During the significant change review staff noted that the City of Waterloo had recently begun taking power from Illinois Power Co. (IP) -- in lieu of being acquired by IP.

Staff contacted the City to ascertain the present relationship between the two systems.

According to Schlemmer the City is now taking all of its power requirements from IP with the option of peak shaving with its own generation during the summer months.

The City has no plans of adding any new generation of its own i

and has considered wheeling over IP lines but hasn't negotiated anyth1 g firm 0

to date.

(Apparently Waterloo is among a group'of seven cities that negotiates asonevoicewithIP.) Mr. Schlemmer stated that he was completely satisfied in his dealings with IP and that, "IP has power to sell and we want to buy."

Electric Operations

{

Phone #:

(217)789-2120 j

I 1

I telephoned the superintendent of the Springfield utility division to inquire whether or not the City was having any specific difficulties in its dealings i

with Illinois Power Co. (IP). The City had recently energized an inter-connection with IP (late 1979) and given Springfield's substantial size, the i

i City's input into staff's monitoring program seemed essential.

}

I ii arrarM aa ta Mr Gladish, the City normally sells more power and energy to IP than purchases from IP.

Presently, the City deals in short term power exchanges '

with I."--:: enc =y exchanges and emergency and maintenance power exchanges.

t (Prior to 5/80, the City had been under contract to supply 65MW/yr. of non-firm capacity to IP--primarily economy or diversity power.)

l l

In 1982, because of an emergency in the City's system in March, Springfield

{

purchased more energy from IP than it sold--51,000 mwhrs compared to 27,000 I

mwhrs. The City's entire system went out in March of 1982 requiring extensive l

maintenance that lasted about three months.

During this period IP supplied l

the City with emergency and maintenance power.

l J

Besides IP, the City has interties with Central Illinois Light Co. (CILCO) j

'i k

and the Western Illinois Power Cooperative (WIPCO). When asked whether the l

City ever had occasion to use IP's transmission facilities, Mr. Gladish i

l

~e.

~.

described a recent sale to the Central Illinois Public Service Co. (CIPSCO),

which was facilitated by IP wheeling the power over its ifnes to CIPSCO.

Mr. Gladish noted that the City and IP compete for wholesale load with their common intertie to WIPCO.

He stated that he has encountered no problems (with IP) in this relationship to date.

According to Mr. Gladish, the City solicited a share of the Clinton Nuclear Plant when it was in the construction planning stages (50MW).

He said IP gave the City a year to make up its mind, but the City council procrastinated too long and the proposed share was sold to another utility.

(Hethoughtthe utilitywasWIPCO.)

Generally, Mr. Gladish stated that he had a good working relationship with Illinois Power Co.
