SUPPLEMEiVTAL AFFIDAVIT OF ROBERT E. BATHEVi My name is Robert E. Bathen and my address is 1851 South Chickasaw Trail, Orlando, Florida. This affidavit is a supplement to my I
affidavit of April 14, 1976, in i'.C Dockets No. P-636-A and iVo. 50-389-A, which affidavit and attached exhibits are incorporated and made a part hereof by reference.
The purpose of this supplemental affidavit is to set forth how, to my knowledge and belief, Florida Power h Light Company (FPhL) has exercised its dominance in the wholesale bulk power supply market in Florida, including its existing sole dominance of operating nuclear generating, units, to engage in a long history of anti-competitive activities, continuing and accelera-ting to the present time. The accumulated effect of those anti-competitive activities presently places all municipal and cooperative electric systems in Florida in an unfavorable competitive situation and places certain municipal systems in the imminent position of deciding whether to sell their electric systems to FPEcL. ln fact, the citizens of Vero Beach are being asked to decide in an election scheduled for September 7, 1976, to provide for a change in the City Charter that would permit sale of the system to FP8cL. Discussions regarding the possible purchase of the Fort Pierce electric system by FphL have taken place between representatives of the City and FPhL. A newspaper reports that a spokesman for FPhL produced a "hasty estimate" that "there
- re about half a do en community or cooperative electric utilities in our area
which might benefit by selling their plants to us." (See Doc. 1 attached to affidavit of Robert A. Jablon in Docket No. P-636-A. ) The citizens of New Smyrna Beach, faced for years with refusals of FPhL to deal in matters affecting interconnection and interchange arrangements, wholesale rates under reasonable terms and conditions, absence of transmission service from FPhL and lack of access to nuclear generation and repeated offers to purchase or lease the system as alternatives to granting coopera-tion, turned down FPhL's offer to purchase the system at a very low price in a special election held in January, 1975. There is a long, repeated history of attempts by FPhL to purchase municipal systems in Florida. (See Exhibit L.)
The Justice Department, in its advice letter concerning Florida Power h Li ht Compan St. Lucie Plant, Unit No. 2, NRC Docket No.
50-389-A, dated 14 November 1973, stated (pp. 2-3):
"There is substantial and vigorous actual and potential competition among electric utilities in Florida in both bulk power supply and retail distribution markets.
Florida law does not require electric utilities to restrict their service areas. The Florida Public Service Com-mission has approved certain voluntary territorial agreements between Applicant and neighboring systems. 2/
"Even where these territorial agreements exist, neighboring smaller systems do compete with Applicant at retail. They still compete to attract new loads who can choose to locate either in their service areas or in Applicant's. They still compete to extend service in developing areas on the fringes of their systems. Finally, they compete to stay in business; if their costs and retail rates become too high, their customers may force them to sell out to the Applicant.
r<
2/ Some territorial agreements involving the Applicant apparently have taken form. of oral understandings and have never been submitted to the Commission."
To my knowledge and belief, the ability of municipal and cooperative electric systems to compete with FP4L has been seriously inhibited or precluded over a long historical period through the present time by virtue of FPhL's dominance in the wholesale bulk power supply market in Florida, and the following factors; (1) FPhL is the only utility in Florida whose customers are F
presently receiving the benefits of low cost nuclear energy.
That energy is being produced pred'ominantly by the Company' Turkey Point 3 and 4 units which have been in service since November, 1972, and June, 1973, respectively, and to a lesser extent from the Company's St. Lucie No. 1 unit which is now commencing generation of power. These units were licensed under Section 104(b) of Atorric Energy Act as "research and development" units under operating licenses granted. July 1972, April 1973 and March 1976 respectively. Consequently no antitrust review was conducted in connection with the issuance of construction permits or operating licenses for these units and no municipal or cooperative system was ever offered the opportunity to participate through joint ownership or direct purchase in the output of these units. The retention of the sole benefits of the output of these units constitutes such a difference in the costs to FPhL and corresponding rates to its customers as to seriously inhibit, if not in fact preclude, meaningful competition with other utilities in the retail market of peninsular Florida. (See April 14, 1976 affidavit regarding cost differentials between nuclear and fossil fueled plants and attached Exhibi.t K showing residential bill comparisons for the months of April, May and June, 1976 prepared by FMUA.)
(2) FPhL has refused to grant access by municipal systems to its planned South Dade nuclear units and although it had agreed with the Justice Department to grant access to its St. Lucie No. 2 unit, which is under construction, to cooperatives and two municipal systems, Homestead and New Smyrna Beach, its offer for access to those systems has been unreasonably low and insignificant. Therefore, irrespective of the outcome of Cities'etitions to intervene and gain access to the South Dade units, which were scheduled for 1983 and 1985 at the time Cities'etitioned to intervene and now reportedly may be delayed by the Company, Cities face the prospect of no low-cost nuclear energy to serve their customers, or insignifi-cant amounts, for the present and for at least six years or more in the future 1/ As St. Lucie No. 1 reaches full commercial operating levels, the existing cost and rate disparities will become even more pronounced.
1/ The only exception being the small amount of nuclear generation to be shared by certain municipal and cooperative systems from a combined 10% ownership share of Florida Power Corporation' Crystal River No. 3 nuclear unit.
(See original affidavit. )
(3) Access by Cities to nuclear energy from these units, Turkey Point Nos. 3 and 4, St. Lucie 1, and other large, efficient generation of FPhL through purchase from the Company under wholesale for resale rates has either been refused or discouraged by FPRL, directly or through attempts to impose territorial limitations, and, presently, to the limited extent the Company currently makes such sales (to cooperatives, the Utilities Com-mission of the City of New Smyrna Beach, and the City of Home-stead) the rate for such sales, at least since April 1, 1976, is so high relative to the Company's retail rates as to constitute a "price squeeze" and thus inhibit competition. (See documents included in Exhibit L and those attached to Cities'etition to intervene and request for hearing in Dockets No. 50-335-A, 50-389-A, 50-250-A, and 50-251-A regarding refusals or reluc-tance to sell under wholesale for resale tariffs and territorial limitations. Further, FPhL has caused price squeezes in the past. See Exhibit ivl and later discussion in this affidavit regarding price squeeze. )
(4) FPSrL is exercising its current complete monopoly of nuclear energy and its access to low-cost firm gas supply in making offers to purchase municipal systems which, because of their size and limited power supply alternatives, have installed smaller, less efficient fossil fueled plants over the years in order to
meet load, and since the O, P. E, C. oil embargo in October, 1973, have been faced with rapidly increased oil costs and gas supplies diminished to virtually nothing. The planning for large, efficient generating plants, particularly nuclear plants, requires long lead times and access to coordination, Throughout the lead time during which municipals might have brought on line large generating units, including nuclear units, to serve present load, FPEzL has actively opposed coordinated planning and operation with municipal systems and others in a state-wide integrated pool; has opposed legislation that would permit joint municipal action, including joint financing; has refused up to the present date to grant access to its transmission system on a general commitment basis under a filed tariff or even on a case-by-case basis under reasonable terms and conditions. Cities have therefore been effectively blocked from developing competi-tive bulk power supply resources, and those in FPhL's service area now stand virtually defenseless against efforts by the Company to acquire their systems absent the relief requested in Cities'etition in Dockets P-636-A and 50-389-A and the relief requested in Cities'etition in Dockets 50-335-A, 50-389-A, 50-250-A, and 50-251-A. Municipal systems outside FPEzL' system service area, although not subjected to efforts by the Company to directly purchase their systems, are nonetheless subjected to the same citizen pressure to achieve lower costs and rates or to sell their systems. (See documents attached to original affidavit dated April 14, 1976, the discussion of alternatives on pp. 33-34 of the original affidavit, and the documents in Exhibit L.)
FPhL did not seek commercial licenses for Turkey Point 3 and 4 and St. Lucie 1 which would have required antitrust review before licensing, including an evaluation of the anti-competitive effects of FP8zL not granting reasonable access and coordination. When systems did request access and coordination, as did View Smyrna Beach, Homestead and the cooperatives in St. Lucie 2, relying on negotiations between FPhL and the Department of 3'ustice which began in late 1973, in spite of those negotiations and direct negotiations with FPRL, these systems have still not been able to secure such reasonable access and coordination. (See correspondence, Exhibit iV, between representatives of the Utilities Commission, FP8zL, and the Department of t'ustice through the Company's rejection dated November 20, 1974, of the Utilities Commission's proposal dated November 13, 1974. Thereafter negotiations took place over many months in which the parties were unable to reach agreement as to a reasonable participation share or as to transmission service, and that is the status to date. In fact, no reply has been received to date to my letter of April 21, 1976, to ivfr. Ken Daniels regarding transmission service. )
The Price S ueeze As previously noted, where FPRL is selling power to municipals and cooperatives at wholesale for resale rates on file with the Federal Power Commission, the wholesale rate and and its terms and conditions are so unreasonably high and discriminatory as to make the resale fox retail loads noncompetitive. For certain retail loads, it is impossible to compete with FP8rL's retail rates, thus illustrating a classical "price squeeze," As com-pared to the complexities of analyzing all of the costs associated with service to small residential customers, where such costs as customer accounting and collecting and distribution costs are a smaller portion of the cost to serve, the price squeeze may clearly be evaluated by analyzing the ability to compete for large commercial and industrial loads where such distribution costs are a,smaller portion of the cost to serve. Under the wholesale rates which have been in effect since April 1, 1976, there exists such a pervasive price squeeze that it is impossible to maintain retail rates of municipals competitive with those of FPhL under its GS-D rate (General Service - Demand), which is the rate applicable to most of its large commercial and industrial loads.
Exhibit M includes the currently effective wholesale for resale rate SR-1 and the currently effective retail rate GS-D and accompanying fuel adjustment clauses. Also included in Exhibit M are two tables of eight pages each illustrating the price squeeze.
Table ), Exhibit M, shows the monthly retail revenues that would be received under rate GS-D from 5, 000 kW and 10, 000 kW customers under different load factors of 200, 400 and 600 hours0.00694 days <br />0.167 hours <br />9.920635e-4 weeks <br />2.283e-4 months <br /> use of demand (27%
55% and 82% znonthly load factor). The lower load factors are those used by the Federal Power Commission in comparing bills between utilities to large customers and the highest load factor represents the high end of such customer load factor range (100% being maximum). Table 2 shows the sazne information for monthly loads of 100. kW and 500 kW. In addition to a range of load factors, these tables also show the revenues that would be received under the GS-D rate and following conditions; (a) GS-D Winter Rates and Sumzner Rates, (b) 100% and 95% coincidence of retail custozners'onthly peak with municipal system' peak, (c) Outside a city where FPEcL does not pay cities or collect from customers a franchise fee and inside a city where FPhL does pay a fee to a franchisor which is passed on to the custozners, I have used 5% as the franchise tax adder to retail rates for calculating these tables where applicable.
The retail and wholesale fuel adjustment revenues shown on the tables in Exhibit i're the average charges to FPhL customers for the months of April, ivfay and June, 1976. The totals on each page at line 8 are the revenues from the output, being retail sales.
The cost of the input to a municipal system to purchase the power and energy to supply the retail load is shown on lines 9-13. Not included in this analysis, for simplicity, is the cost of purchasing demand and energy losses on the municipal system, which costs would increase the cost of input by as little as 1. 5% to upward of 10% depending on the delivery voltage of the municipal system, the location of the retail customer on that system, and system characteristics.
Excluding the cost of losses the total cost of the input is shown on line 13 and the difference between that cost of the input and revenues from output is shown on line 14. At this point there have been included none of the cities'illing and accounting costs, meter costs, transformer costs, distribu-tion line costs, administrative and. general costs, depreciation, return on investment or payment for principal and interest on its system that might run from a low of l. 0 mills/kWh to the order of 5. 0 mills/kWh. Nonetheless it can be seen from line 14, Table 1, pages 1 through 6, that a municipal customer would not even recover the cost to purchase its wholesale supply from FPhL to serve large customers except under the most favorable set of conditions, namely, extremely high load factor of 600 hours0.00694 days <br />0.167 hours <br />9.920635e-4 weeks <br />2.283e-4 months <br /> use,'t suzr~er rates only. Even in those instances which show positive margins of . 93 mills/kWh for a 5, 000 kW customer at 600 hours0.00694 days <br />0.167 hours <br />9.920635e-4 weeks <br />2.283e-4 months <br /> use and . 81 mills/kWh for a 10, 000 kW customer at 600 hours0.00694 days <br />0.167 hours <br />9.920635e-4 weeks <br />2.283e-4 months <br /> use inside the city at 100% coincidence (Table 1, page 7), and 1. Z4 mills/kWh for 5, 000 kW and l. 13 mills/kWh for 10, 000 kW at 95% coincidence (Table 1, page 8), these margins *re'not
'ufficient to recover losses and distribution costs.
Even to serve the smaller 500 kW to 1, 000 kVF retail loads, competition is not possible due to negative margins at the municipal delivery point except in the two most favorable conditions, namely, summer rates and inside the city where a franchise fee would be passed on, and even in those instances it appears that the small positive margins would not be adequate to cover distribution costs and losses.
There is no question therefore that a serious price squeeze exists that precludes competition. The Company, in its response to cooperatives'etition to intervene, stated in a footnote on page 13 as follows; "22/ 'The Cooperatives complain that Applicant's wholesale rates are currently higher than its retail rates to general service customers. However, the Cooperatives are aware both that the wholesale rates now in effect have yet to be approved by the FPC, and thus are sub-ject to refund, and that Applicant plans before the end of the summer to request higher retail rates. It is not, and cannot be, contended that Applicant has pursued any consistent policy of maintaining wholesale rates which are higher than its retail "ates. "
The New Smyrna Beach Utilities System has contended in the past that the Company had effectuated a price squeeze through its rates filed in FPC Docket E-8008 which went into effect in September, 1973, and which, the Administrative I.aw Judge found ".... have not been shown to be just and reasonable; and they are, therefore, found to be excessive or otherwise unlawful." However, almost three years later, the Federal Power Commis-sion has not yet ruled on this case; tnerefore no refunds have been made, if any are to be made, and the rates complained of remained in effect until April 1, 1976, when new, higher rates under the SR-1 rate went into effect subject to hearing and possible eventual refunds. This filing has been assigned FPC Docket No. ER76-211, and the New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission has intervened and objected to this increase, in particular to the level of the increase and the ratchet provisions. The old rate and the new rate and the estimated cost to the Utilities Commission for a 12-month period are compared as follows:

S~o eEstimaced Average - 12 months ended December, 1976.
As shown above, the total annual demand costs are some $ 267,904 or $ 22, 325 per month higher than under the old rate. This 55. 3% increase is due to the 42, 5% increase in the rate and an 8. 9% increase in billing demand resulting from tl e ratchet provision going from 60% to 75% Further, the ratchet provision in the filed rate for partial requirements that will apply when powe" is taken over the parallel tie when it is completed is 100% of the highest demand in the previous eleven months.
As stated above, FP4tcL noted in its response to cooperatives'12-
that the Applicant plans before the end of the summer to request higher retail rates." Cities were not aware of such plans of FPEcL prior to reading the Company' esponse to cooperatives'etition. Neither, to my knowledge or belief, are the citizens of Florida aware of such plans. Certainly the consultants, Ernst 4 Ernst, employed by the City of Vero Beach to analyze FPRL's proposal to purchase the system, were not made aware of such plans since their whole analysis was based on comparing existing Vero Beach rates to'ast and exist-ing rates of FPhL. Of course, until the Company files new higher retail rates and such rates are actually placed into effect, Cities will not be able to evaluate to what extent such new rates would diminish the present price squeeze, nor will the citizens of Vero Beach know what the true difference in costs to them under FP8:L or city ownership actually will be. (En that regard, the citizens of Vero Beach are entitled to know what the cost of service and resulting rates to them might be reduced if the City were free to pursue the alternatives outlined on page 34 of my original affidavit. )
One aspect of FP8cL's filed SR-1 rate contains both the elements of pr'ce squeeze and further anti-competitive activity by the Company. That s the provision of the rate under "Demand" (First revised Sheet No. 5) which states:
"Where the Company supplies partial requirements of a customer at a point of delivery, the billing demand shall be the highest metered demand during the preceding eleven months adjusted to reflect service delivered under other appropriate rate schedules. "
This is a 100% ratchet as compared to the 75% ratchet on demand for all-requirements service. The Company has submitted no cost justification for this higher ratchet on partial requirements service, nor can one be made. It is designed to discourage and penalize parallel operation with the Company whereby a city can make most effective and efficient utiliza-tion of its power supply resources including partial requirements purchased from the Company. If the Company's cost of service can be recovered under the filed rate and a 75% ratchet for all-requirements service, its costs would be recovered or over-recovered under the same rate and a 75%
ratchet for partial requirements service.

after for expansion o: it in orce. to scare a!1 customers and repair ex!siting faci!ities as they wear out.
3 - ihe lease should oravide the City with appropriate f!nancial remuneration which cau!d "a de.ived either from the franchise or same "rental" ...oney,.

Q 0 hc, matters of interest and adv ntages t." cugh a Lease ar.angement to.the citt"ens of Ncw Smyrna ocach are as fot.'owsr Under Plot!ca Power & Light Company poltcy there are no ccnnect!on charges arg wc have no plans i-r inst.'tutti such charges. Normal evtenstons are made without charges to th customer.
F Florida Power & Light Company would estabLtsh an office tn New Smyrna Beach su!:abLy housed an '/e!l staffed,.which would be an asset to the Ctty. Trouble call's would be covered on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />" basts.
present Ftcctrtc De. arrm nt employees would be offered comparable Jobs at salaries and wages eauaL to o. above the renuneration now recetved by these. ~
employees, tcgether with all regular Conpany Binge benefits.
~~
lt!s real!zed that under Sect!onil93 of the C!ty Charter even a lease arrangement vrould possibly requtre servo amendment to the Charter.;.owever, unde. Chapter 59-242 Laws of Florida, Senate Btt! 297, enacted July 2, '969, it wou!d appea.:hat something r;.ight be worked out ur:der the "hone rule" Legislation. This ts a matter, 0 which you would have to determine through your attorneys.
4 We have a tomporary energer.cy connect!or. with the City on SR 44 //htch was establtshec tn May 1969. From t!.,e to tine our Company has supplied t'h e City with e:.crg ncy'powe up to approxtmatety 3600 kw.

AVith further rp!erencc to our discussion yesterday in regard to what might bo done to change the present Ci'.y Charter o'hyew Smyrna Beach to permit some cpu!tab!c arrangomont for the .'easing or sale of the City's elec:ric
- utilitios, 1 afm attachirg a suggested charge in Section 193 of the City Charter togethe.- w!:h a c" py oi Chapter 69-242, Laws oi ."-lorida, Senate Bill iso. 2 7, which was enacted J ly 2, 1969 and which relates to the char;ge of a city charter unce. the "home ulem arrangement.
~
Lf it is possible for a municipality to change its charter under the foregoing,
,it would seem that this is the 'lcgical course .'or 'iVew Sr.:yrna Beach to pursue
- in order that the present "impossible" situation be remecied.
't As me.".:!oned durfng ou." d!souse!on, Mayor Duster fs de.'ln!:a!y fn:eras: d
!n endaavarfng to wo:k out a sale or lease ar:argeman: w!th our Company.:
Of oourse', we al! realize that the oresent Char:n:, geo:fon 193, wfll "nave
. to be changed if we are ever going to reso!ve this mat:er.
t Accordingly, it will be appreciated if Sid:-.oehl, if he is avaHablo, wQ1 review this ard Jet us have his comments ~

PL"93 HEYiORAHDUM TQ PILE Messrs. rite and Autrey had an informal meeting with the Homestead Commission on Thursday evening, July 27, 1967 at the invitation oz llayor Dickinson and city Attorney vernon Turner.
The reason for the meeting was to discuss the relationship between tne City of Homestead utility operation and r P6J utility opera tion.
Mr. Turner was, for the. most part, spokesman for the Commission and he, presented a request =or (1) a territorial agreement; (2).
provision "or an additional emergency connect'on to supply up to 5,000 iQ7 more than the e:<isting connection which is about 2,000
.or 3,000 c'N; and (3) a future permanent connection with FPSu for the purchase of the service at wholesale for resale by the City.
We made it clear that we would like ve y much to conclude a mutually agreeable territorial agreement, but also made it that this agr cement mus t be concluded before undertaking negotia tions clear for an inte change or to sell wholesale. We did agree to look into the feasibility o an emergency in"erconnection to determine now much it would cos~. At this point, the City compla'ned bit erly about the rate fo- emergency power that had been cnarged in the past and asked t..e Company to "take,a look" at the rate emergency service is needed.
if We agreed to "take a look" at the further rate.
City On the territorial agreement it was and the Company that we would submit on understood by both the nevi Monday, July 31, 1967, an agreement which provides in essence that an area be designated insid of which the City of'omestead .~ould operate in
.the future and the Plorida Power & Lig'nt Company would operate outside and both inc C'ty and ihe Company would obse 've completely these boundary lines and discontinue any raiding of the others'erritory.
~ While the exact area was not agreed upon, it.'s clear that the City wants an extended area beyond any thai wt',had previously considered equitable as the area the C'ty desires'ncludes several hundred'f our customers. o II

Nhile we may be able to negotiate the shrinking o the area to some extent, it is doubt ul that we will be able to get the to change their thinking. Both the City and the Company 'ity agreed that be ore becoming effective any territorial agreement we reach would firs" have to be approved by the Public Service Commission after a public hearing at which any customers affected would have an opportunity to be heard.
After approval by the Public Service Commission, it, was agreed that the City would purchase the Company's lines inside the City's territory and take over the'ustomers on such lines-Likewise, the Company would follow the same procedure in connection with tne City of Homestead lines and customers outside the pro-posed Homes" ead territory. The lines are to be purchased by the respective parties at original cost, less depreciation. Xt was understood that there may be physical limitations that would rave to be surveyed to determine how the actual phys'cal change can be made. Xt was agreed by the City that any transmission lines or main feeder lines that the Company may want to leave inside the City's territorv for transmitting electricity beyond tneir terri-torial boundary would be acceptable to the City. Payments for any lines purchased would be or cash at the time of transfer of owner snip.
Upon direct request by the City for an arrangement for wholesale service, we pointed out that we 'don't now serve any municipalities wholesale, we don't want to serve any, but i thoy really want wholesale service and this is the only arrangement that can be negotiated, if the terr'orial agreement nas been settled, tha" we would not refuse to sell wholesale, but we would not expect to give the City our BZA wholesale rate.
~
Xt was 'also pointed out that an intercnange agreement may be more desirable to the City than a wholesale contract. Ne emphasized again that purchase of the Homestead facilities, or lease o" them should be considered also. At several points, it was ropeated tnat we must have a territorial agreement signed, sealed and delive ed, and approved by the Public Service. Commission before going anead witn any of these arrangements.
Nhile Nr. Turner. said the City was more interested in a wholesale contract than anything else, he volunteered that the present commission is different from those of the past and that it was willing to review and consider anyth'ing, such as an of er "o purchase,'r lease that we may care to submit.

Dear Ken:
Subject:
Agreement to Provide Transmission Service Between Florida Power K: Light Company and the Utilities Commission of the City of New Sm ma Beach, Florida In response to your letter of April 15, 1976, regarding the subj ct matter, we have considerable corcern regarding tne costs proposed by FPErL for transmission service and the basis on which those costs have been developed by the Company.
Of course we are very concerned about the prospect of the Utilities.,
Commission paying a double transmission charge, one to Florida Power Corpo-ration and one to FP8cL, to have its 4. 63 M%'wnership share of Crystal Rive" No. 3 nuclear unit output delivered to its facilities. Ever. a cursory examina-tion reveals that under an integrated statewide Florida power pool a fair share of statewide pool transmission investment proportiorate to a 4. 63 i>DV usage of transmission facilities would result in a capita) cost to the Utilities Com-mission which it could amortize annually at a cost far less than the cost of the double xates that would be paid to the two companies under the proposed bi-lateral arrangements. The approach of the Utilities Commission making an investment in t ansmission facilities, which approach is be ..g used in Georgia in lieu of transmission charges and should be possible for municipali-ties under the constitutional amendment approved by tne voters in November, 1974, was proposed to FPIlcL in the CozrzussionIs initial proposal for trans-mission from St. Lucie No. 2 in the letter to L'vf . Mulholland dated iNovember 13, 1974, from Ivfr. John Kelly.
Mr. Z. K. Daniel April 21, 1976 Aside from the approach of making a capi.al investment in trans-mission facilities, looking at the combined investment of the two companies in bulk power transmission facilities, an annual charge based on such invest-ment and reasonable company fixed charges would still indicate a transmission charge for wheeling 4. 63 MW over the facilities of both companies of about half the potential double charge under the proposed bi-lateral arrangements.
I am sure you can see how serious this matter is for the Coz."~ssion since your proposed arrangement would apparently result in a payznent to FPhL, based on 3'une 30, 1975 test period figures, of $ 12. 85/kW/year. Florida Power's new T-1 (Transmission Service) rate which it expects.to file before commercial operation of CR-3 will be an increase ove the $ 5. 05/kW/year rate in the present tariff.
Aside from the problem of a double rate, we have some real concerns about the znethods and costs proposed by FP&L under the bi-lateral arrangeznent. For example, under the work sheets on which you developed the $ 12.85/kW/year rate (copy attached), there appear to be discrepancies in the nuznbers, the accounts, and the functionalized pla~t that would be utilized in providing transmission (wheeling) se vice to ibew Smyrna Beach when this calculation is compared to the testiznony and e~bits sponsored by Mr. Richard 2'ierce, Principal Consultant of Zbasco Services Inc., on behalf of FPhL in its recently filed wholesale rate request "SR-1," FPC Docket No. ER76-211. (See attached copies of pertinert portions of M . P erce's testimony, pages 5, 6 and 8, and obit M-l, Period 1, "Functionalized Production, Transmission and Distribution Plant in Service" which are attached.) We note that your work papers include "Accounts 350 through 390."
Since these account numbers include distribution accounts, we fail to see how such investznent is used in providing transmission service.
We see no evidence of your having functionalized transmission plant into "Power Supply," "Comznon," "Specific," "General," or "Sub-Transmission" as Mr. Pierce has done in his testimony for your rate case.
We consider it iznportant in developing a fair transmission rate for the Utilities Coznmission, that will be taking transmission service at 115 kV through the new interconnection under construction, that only the cost of your bulk power supply transmission investznent be utilized as a basis for the rate for trans-mis sion service.
Looking at Mr. Pierce's exhibit, only the "Power Supply" invest-ment'would clearly be'used and useful in supplying transmission service to iNew Smyrna Beach; and of that investment, there wou1d have to be deducted the investment in step-up faciL'ties at you= generation plants since these do not
Mr. Z. K. Daniel ~ 3 April 21, 1976 function as transmission for wheeling pov'er over your systezn from Florida Power to New Smyrna Beach. It is clear that the investment in all "Subtrans-mission" and "Specific" transmission facilities as defined and identified by Mr. Pierce would not be includable in calculating a cost justified transznission rate to New Smyrna Beach's 11S kV facilities. It is doubtful if any of the "Common" facilities would be used and useful, but we have no way of know'ng without znore detail, Also, we cannot identify what Mr. Pierce has included under "General" and how that is allocated or assigned so that we can identify that portion associated only with bulk "Power Su'pply" transmission.
Therefore, the information required to properly analyze a fair and reasonable cost justified rate includes the following:
(1) A map of the FPKcL, system showing all "Power Supply" trans-mission facilities used and useful in providing txansmission service to New Smyrna Beach.
(2) Details of Plant investment of all such "Power Supply" trans-mission facilities including a break out of step-up facilities that would be excluded from transmission investment for transmission service purposes. This data should be in sufficient detail so that the break outs made by Mr. Pierce into "Sub-transmission," "Common " "Specific " and "General" can also be identified and included or excluded as may be appropriate for the investment on which a trans-mission rate might be based.
Further, as to a fair rate for transmission serv'ce, we have consistently taken the position in our negotiations with you regarding trans-mission service that the transmission system serves multiple purposes including (1) power deliveries, (2) transmission reliability (alternative paths in the event of a line fault), and (3) generation reliability (in the event of a generation outage). In recognition of these facts we strongly believe, and otner utilities in the state have agreed, that an adjustment for generation reliability should be made when calculating a fair- transmission rate where the system is used to deliver power from one utility to another, such as the case for wheeling CR-3 power and energy from Florida Power to New Smyxna Beach. In the Florida Power T-l tariff that generation reliability reduction is 30'Pa. Unless FP8cL has made its own studies to determine a different reasonable percentage, we suggest this ratio be used for the subject trans-mission service.
Mr. J. K. Daniel April 21, 1976 Finally, we note on the attached work sheets that you propose as the cost of capital using the following rates:
A. Long Term Debt - Most Recent Transaction - 9. 85%
B. Preferred Stock - Cost of Most Recent Transaction - 10. 08%
C. Equity - Most Recent Return on Equity Approved by a Regulatory Authority - 15. 00%.
We do not understand how the Company feels such rates are cost justified. New Smyrna Beach has not asked FP8rL to build any new facilities to provide the service. You might want to use such rates to make an economic analysis of alternative new facilities, but they are clearly not appropriate in any fair cost of service analysis. In fact, in your rate case, Statement G, the foQowing cost of capital ates appear:
A. Debt Capital Period I, at June 30, 1975.........
Period Il, at December 31, 1976...... 7. 57%
- 7. 80%
B. Preferred Stock Capital Period I, at June 30, 1975.........
Period II, at December 31, 1976...... 8. 14%
- 8. 14%
Further, a transmission rate for New Smyrna Beach would be under the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission. That Comr.".ission nas not handed down its decision in Docket No. E-8008 so we do not know what return on equity capital will be granted, but we doubt it will approach 15. 00%. We suggest using 12, 50% until the decision is handed down and tnereafter using whatever is set forth therein.
We both know how important the requested transmission service is to the Utilities Commission of New Smyrna Beach; however, we cannot recom-mend to the Commission that they accept a completely unjustified, exorbitant rate for that service which is not and cannot, in our opinion, be cost justified.
We suggest, therefore, that the Company, which has the details of its trans-mission system, furnish us with the necessary details as requested so that we may prepare a proper rate for your consideration. Also, you may want to review the material previously furnished and modify it along the lines sugges ed hereh.
Mr. J. K. Daniel April 21, 1976 Regarding the information on the proposed switching station site, the approximate location has been known to the Company since the very initi-ation of our negotiations on the high voltage interconnection. You were shown by Mr. Kelly on a drawing the exact site the Commission was intending to acquire some znonths ago. Further our Denver Design Departznent has been in frequent contact with your engineering personnel from Miami, including a visit by your Mr. Cogburn to our Denver Design office. We know of no engineering considerations other than the number of spans involved that depend upon the actual location along your line that could not have been made at any time since execution of the interconnection Agreement. We trust that all necessary engineering and material procurement has proceeded by FPE;L such that you wiL~ be coznpletely ready to energize the interconnection when the Commission facilities are cozr;pleted. As requested, Mr. Moriarty of our Denver office transznitted by letter of April 13, 1976, a plot plan of the switching station showing the arrangement and containing a coznplete legal desc iption of tne property which the Commission has, by resolution, taken steps to acquire.

I used the actual cost data for the calendar year 1974, actual cost data for',the year end June 30, 1975, and budgeted figures for the year 1976.
Nhat are your conclusions based on the results of 6 the study?
7 8 The two classes of Nholesale Service show a 9 significant revenue deficiency for the projected year 1976, based on a desired rate of retu n from ll 10 12 operations of 10.39 percent rate of eturn on rate base. About 2.98 percent of Florida Power &
13 Light Company 1976 projected sales revenues were 14 accounted for in its wnolesale operations. In 15 projected year 1976 the overall rate of return 16 from wholesale operations is 6.36 percent.
17 Between the years 1973 and 1976, a three year 18 period, Florida Power & Light Company will have 19 increased their total investment 'in utility plant 20 by more than 30 percent, due to the necessity to 21 accommodate load growth. During this. period, 22 approximately 33 percent of the increase has been 23 in production facilities. It is essential'o the 24 continued ability of Florida Power & Light Company 25 to .provide dependable service that the financial 26 needs associated with these higher costs are met.
27 28 Please describe your overall process o cost, 29 allocation?
30 31 I have used a conventional three-step procedure 32 which consists of functionalization, classification 33 and allocation.
34 35 Q Nhat is meant by functionalization?
36 37 Functionalization is the assignment of the Company's 38 plant, revenues and expenses among operating functions 39 suitable for allocation.'he basic Uni form System of 40 Accounts is inadequate for a cost allocation study 41 because it does not recognize distinctions occurring 42 within each accounting funct'on.
43 44 As an example, the transmission categorv of the 45 Uni orm System of Accounts does not distinguish
1 between plant, functioning at 500 kV, 240 kV, 138 kV, 2 115 kV or 69 kV. The Ebasco functionalization 3 recognizes the various functions for which transmission 4 facilities are utilized.
5 6 Q Can you give me an example of the way the Ebasco 7 Method of functionalization works?
8 9 A Yes. Certain transmission lines and their substations 10 which connect generating stations and establish 11 interties with other utilities and form power loops 12 for the bulk transmission of power, have been designated 13 as being part of the power supply function-whose 14 related plart, revenues and costs are equally shared 15 by all customers on the system.
16 17 Analysis of the Florida Power & Light Companv 18 system also shows certain transmission tap lines 19 with associated substations. Where these are required 20 for an identifiable customer they have been function-21 alized in a specific category; that is, the costs of 22 the lire and the required switch gear have been 23 assigned airectly to the customer's class of service.
24 25 Zn another case where a transmission line serves 26 a wholesale customer as well as tne general etail .
27 requirements o the surrounding area, this tap line, 28 with associated switch gear, has been assigned to 29 the common function.
30 31 All transmission facilities other than those 32 previously set forth are functionalized as general.
33 34 g What is meant by classification, 'the second step in 35 your process of cost allocation?
36 37 A Classification is the assignment of functionalizea 38 plant, revenue and costs to demand, energy or 39 'ustomer components o service. "Demand related" 40 costs are those costs consiaered to be a function 41 of either the demand coincident with the system 42 peak, the class non-coincident peak demands or 43 customer non-coincident peak demands. "Energy 44 related" costs vary with annual kilowatt-hour 45 requirements. The customer component of cost
'46 varies with the numbe" of customers.
The energy purchased by the class at the individual 2 voltage levels was then expanded upward to the 3 busbar to determine the c3.asses energy allocation 4 factor as a percent against total energy generated.
5 The same procedure was utilized for Periods I and 6
7 II.
8 Q 9
10 13.
12 13 A All other items of rate base were analyzec and 14 assigned to the Production, Transmission, Dist i-15 bution, Customer Accounts, Sales or Revenue Functions.
16 The items were further spread on percentages developed 17 within the function to subfunction re3.ationships on 18 the basis of the original analysis.
19 20 Revenues from sales of electricity reflect the 21 annual sales revenues by class. Other electric 22 revenues were assigned following relatec items of 23 tangible plant.
24 25 Operating deductions excluding income taxes 26 were assignee on the basis of relatec elements of 27 tangible plant.
28 29 Income taxes were developed and ass'gned on 30 the basis of taxable income.
31 32 Q Please describe the exhib'ts relating to your cos 33 analysis .
34 35 A Wholesale Cost cata =or the cost analysis study is 36 shown in tne schedules collectively referred to 37 as "Statement N." Statement H is submitted as 38 Exhibit iso. (RP tlI) for Perioc I and Exnibit 39 No. (RP NII) for Period II. The first page 40 of Statement H for both Periocs I and IX is a 41 summary of rate base, operating income and rate 42 of return at present rates for the two wholesa3.e 43 classes.

This is to advise you that FPL is now considering seeking the necessary regulatory authorizations to construct a nuclear unit at a site in the southern part of Dade County, Florida, or some other acceptable site. No fi m decisions have been reached with respect to the specific type or size of reactor to be utilized, although we are considering standardized reactor designs in the 1,100-1,300 MW range.
Moreover, while no firm decisions have been reached with respect to'iming, we contemplate completion of a unit in the general time frame of 1983-85.

November '.?0, 1974 Mr. John P,. Kelly Director Utilities Commission City of New Smyrna Beach P . O. Box 519 New Smyrna Reach, Florida 32069
Dear Mr. Kelly:
This responds to your letter. of November 13 2974 Mr. Ral p h G.i. Nulhholland. Your letter i..c'udes a -.roposal consisting of eight items and states th t "'t a xn keeping with [FPL's] commitments to the Atomic Fnergy Commission as a condition of license for St . Lucae >>o. 2, in hecate its acceptance of this proposal . . . ." The letter, dated November 13, 1974, concludes: "Your our acceptance a t equired to complete the evaluation is requested as soon as possib3.e, but not later than November 21, 1974,"
I should like to preface my response with a b.rie '
review of the back ro ac ground of this matter with respect to the opportunit r un@ y to participate in St. Lucie Unit 2.
On April 26, 1974, I wrote to the City of New Smyrna Reach advising of FPL's willingness to offer to the City an oppor-tunity to own a share of St. Lucie Unit 2. On Ma 1 197 uc, Catty Manager, acknowledged my letter, stating that it had been forwarded to the Chairman of thee 1 i ies of the City of New Smyrna Beach and also referred Util't'ommission for information to Members of the City Commissi'on. S ome weeks later ono June 24, 1974, Mr. Jablon (counsel for r thee x sties
) re quested certain information about St Eucie U 't Ut'1'ommission)
- 2. On August st 21, Mr. Mulholland responded in detail to Mr. Jablon's request, including in his response cost estimates w'th hach were not developed for submission to the AEC i respect until August, 1974. We heard nothing further from New Smyrna Beach in regard to this matter until receiving, on Friday, November 15, your letter of November 13.
Obviously, and particularly in view of this b ac ground, it is unreasonable for you to insist that FPL analvze de fini tive 1 y i l ess than five
'n business days to a yze an your proposal.
and respon d.
However, your proposal goes so far beyond wh'at is required by the St. Lucie Unit 2 license conditions and is so foreign to any proposals previously discussed between us that I th'ln 1't isa ppx o priate to provide you with FPL's initial views with regard 4o several of the items in your proposal.
V Items 1 and 2 of your proposal suggest that the "Utilities Commission agrees to take and pay for a 3.7037% share" of St.
Lucie Unit 2, amounting to appxoximately 30 Mw. This amount of capacity compares with New Smyrna Beach's total 1972 peak of approximately 20 Mw. FPL's intent in agreeing to offer to the City of New Smyrna Beach and other named systems the opportunity to share in ownership of St. Lucie Unit 2 was that ownexship shares of potential participants would be based upon each system's purchases of power from FPL in 1972. According o he formu'la which we are proposing to all participants named in the license conditions, New Smvrna Beach would be for St. Lucie Unit 2. This amounts to'less than 1/30 capacity requested in your proposal.
'f entitled to 946 Kilowatts (.946 MN), based on 802 Mwe net rating the Item 4 of youx proposal pertains to St. Lucie Unit 1. The St. Lucie Unit 2 license conditions contain no reference to St. Lucie Unit 1, and FPL has never considered selling any portion of Unit 1..
Your Item 5 suggests that New Smyxna Beach would invest in transmission facilities now owned by FPL'. Ne do not construe the St. Lucie Unit 2 license conditions as requiring that FPL in effect sell a portion of its existing transmission system, and we ax'e not at this time willing to do so. Ne are pxepared to offer to deliver the power and energy associated with the City's ownership share and to charge for delivery on the basis, of a rate which covers FPL's cost.
Item 6, relating to "parallel" operation is particularly perplexing in that FPL has offered New Smyrna Beach an inter-connection agreement similar to agreements currently in effect et,~een FPL and 'the ities of Ft'. Pierce'nd Homestead. This offer has been outstanding for more than 10 months, 'add would provide for parallel operation and make available emergency and scheduled maintenance power and energy on reasonable terms.
This offer was advanced before FPL agreed to any AEC license conditions; however, we believe that requirements of the license conditions.
it more than satisfies the
Your Items 7 and 8 are predicated on FPL's acceptance of your Item 5; and, as I stated previously, FPL is not at this time agreeable to the arrangement suggested in Item 5. Ho~ever, some further clarification of the matters raised in your Items 7 and 8 might be helpful. At present, electricity sold by FPL to New Smyrna Beach moves through FPL's Edgewater substation and is delivered there by one 115 Kv line. FPL has suggested that, if New Smyrna Beach a second 115 Kv line desires an interconnection with into that area might be built directly FPL, into a new substation at. New Smyrna Beach. However, if New Smyrna Beach desires that FPL continue to deliver increasing amounts of power under the SR rate and the present delivery arrangement, FPL will probably construct a second 115 Kv line into the Edgewater substation at some future date. In either event, no special "consideration" will be required to induce FPL to fulfillits responsibilities with respect to the FPL transmission system.
Finally, your proposal is made subject to certain conditions, several of which are unacceptable from FPL's standpoint. For example, FPL will not accept a participation arrangement "made subject to... final verification and documentation of cost estimates of St. Lucie No. 2... for tpj FP&L's ability to secure an operating license for St. Lucie Unit No. 2." In our view, any participant in St. Lucie Unit 2 must share in the risks of cost escalation and nuclear licensing.
In summary you have advanced a proposal which has little relation to the offer of participation to which your letter purports to respond. FPL is prepared to proceed promptly with discussions concerning the fair implementation of the St. Lucie, 2 license conditions and is prepared to continue discussions concerning an agreement for interconnection and parallel operation with New Smynra Beach. That our initial review of your a number of serious problems does not, of course, proposal'dentified close the door to discussion of a wide variety of possible arrangements. FPL is prepared to move forward w'th discussions subject to my own availability and the availability of our legal counsel and technical advisers. Please contact me to'rrange a mutually agreeable time and place for these discussions.
Pursuant to your request, the cost estimate with respect to St. Lucie Unit 2 contained in Mr. Mulholland's letter of August 21 to Mr. Jablon should be revised upward to $ 537,000,000, plus common or shared facilities of which approximately $ 25,000,000
is allocablee to St. Lucre Unit 2, totalling $ 562,000,000. This reflects FPL's latest revised estimates. However th'is is ony any parts.cipant will be expected to assume the u risks of further escalation.

Thc'roposal offers the opportunity for cost savings for both parties to the economic benefit of their customers. The proposal should bc particularly attractive to FPEcL for thc following reasons:
- 1. The Utilities Commission would mak>> a capital contribution to FPAL's already planned construction program on the order of $ 20,000,000, of which approximate;ly one-thircl would bc advanced at thc,time the 10 mw of nuclear exchange capacity available from St. Lucie Unit No. 1 can bc delivered to Nc.w Smyrna Beach, and the balance would bc. advanced during the cornplction of constxuction of St. Lucie Unit No. 2.
- 2. FPL.L would be able to purchase approximately 25% of the Utilities Commission's entitlement from St. Lucic No. 2 over a 27-yeax period at considerable cost savings over what it would pay if the capacity were financed by FPGL.
- 3. The reliability of service to~a'll of FP8 L's customers from Deland to Daytona Beach would bc.; materially'mproved through the scctionalizing provided at thc point of interconnection and the additional transmission linc facilities to bc constructc cl, particularly those customers served from thc Edgewater Sub-station whose service is less reliable than other'customers of FP$ ;L becaus'c their service is presently proviclc:d from a long single radial.,tap linc.'he Utilities Commission>s consulting engineers and financial.

Dear Mr. Fuqua:
By letter of November 14, 1973, the Departltent of Justice recommended that an antitrust hearing was not necessary in connection with the Florida Power 8 Light Company application for St. Lucie Unit 2 in view of the consideration of the granting of access to this facility to certain entities.
In view of your expressed intent to provide reasonable access to .the St. Lucie Unit with the necessary ancillary arrangements, the fact that no antitrust issues have been raised by another in a manner accord-ing with the Ccmmission's Rules of Practice, and that no finding has been made that an antitrust hearing is otherwise required, it is our position that the attached conditions would satisfy the staff with regard to the antitrust issues that. have been raised in connection with this application and the position of the Department of Justice as expressed in its letter of November 14, 1973, and accordingly obviate'n antitrust heari ng.
Accordingly, the attached conditions will be included in any license ishued in connection with the above application.
