M mber IEEE Consumers Pow.r Co.upany and The Detroit Edison Coipany supply electricity to most of the State of Michigan's 7,800,000 people and to heavy demands of industry, comnerce and agriculture. Installed capacity of the two com?anies totals 7,000,000 kw. Only 150,000 kw of this total is in hydro and the remainder is thermal powar. In addition, twa nuclear plants,whose capacities at this time are not included in the total, are involved. The Big Rock Point Nuclear Plant, rated 75,000 kw, is presently producing electric energy in a rescarch and development phase. The Enrico Fermi Atomic Powar Plant, with an ultimate capacity of 150,000 kw, has attained criticality. It also is in a rescarch and development phase'but has not started electric energy production.
The electric transmission facilities of the Consumers Power Company and of The 0stroit Edison Company have been interconnected since 1928. During most of the first two decades of its existence, the inter-connection was used only as a last-ditch support measure. In fact , it was a matter of considerable individual company pride to operate in such a manner as to be completely independent under all probable circumstances.
Exigencies of the post-war ci rcumstances caused many changes so that but
~h,) ,
little of this early independence remains today.
.. /
It is understandable that some di f ficulties must be faced in
, ef fecting optima.a utilization of interconnections. Full accord in planning between two systems inevi tably restricts ranagement's individual freedom of operation. Furthermore, many engineering and operating deci-sions must ~ run the gamut of task force, subcommi ttee, main committee and adninistrative committee scrutiny and study before decisions can be reached. Tne advantages of f all utilization of interconnections, however, ..
far outweigh the disadvantages.
After the war, the very rapid load growths 4daich were experi-enced and the resulting low reserve margins necessitated mutual assistcnce.
Inte cbnnection facili tics were strengthened and ware f requently the means of preserving service continuity. Our first effective power pooling agree-ment become operable in 1949 It was simple in form and, in effect, made general provision for .nost of the features which are comnon in intercon-nection agreements today.

party's res rve margin dropped belos a predetermined I" vel. In such a case , a purc hase was re iui red. Tne l'f 6 aqreanr nt also recogni/ed the possibilities 01 staqqered construction and r.cda provisions for it.
l<a.ever. during the first few years a f ter the war, the load growth was so rapid that hath conpanies w re pushed to 1.eep u) with l
l capacity requi rewnts and there was no opportuni ty f or staggering con-I struction. Later on, three cases of staggered constract ion w2re studied l l in detail, and twa ware actually signed, only to be later canceled by l changed conJitions. A larga part of the difficulty in uffecting stag- !
gered construction, based on separate engineering studies, is that it tends to be an af ter-the-fact chore. Each comeny was prone to .nake i
l independ:nt d2cisicas as to unit size, its location, and its service '
date. and it was very dif ficult for the interconnection connittees to juggle these nearly-crystallized facts to obtain an o<crall improve-mant. Either the location was wrcng or the timing was wrong, and it is difficult to dafer a unit once it is wall u, der way. It v.as recog-nized by both the interconnection committees and by managements that fully coordinated planning on a one-system basis might afford north-while savings. Accordingly, task forces w2re appointed and extensiva studies were made to determina the advantages of e one-system planning approach.
St.udv Procedura %_
i f.*:
The approach to evaluating the economic advantages of a one- %_d system planning progran was simple in concept. Each company developed i ts own optinum long-range bulk power expansion plan. Tnis plcn <cas then priced out , ano annual costs ware calculated including fixed charges, fuct and operating expenses. A o,c-system catimu, plan was then developed. It, too,'was priced out. Its costs were found to be significantly loo 2r than the sum of'thc'-independant approaches. Although this conceptual approach was ind2cd simple, the studies to be m2anir.gful had to be on a consistent basis. This required the d2velopment of da-toiled planning rules and agreement on tuny items. For example , it was necessary to, reach agrenment on the proper return from a planning stand-
- point, o, life and depreciation rates, on property taxes and their probable future escalation, on basic uni t costs for generation and t ransmission equipment , on the f unda nenta l di f ferences in fuel costs at the di f ferent sites, and on f uel, construction and operating cost ascalation rates.
Satisfactory agreement was reached on oli necessary ite.,s and nany expansion plans w:re evaluated. Annual scvings on a 20 year lev-clized basis for the one-syste.n planning approsch were found to be several million dollars per year. It only remained then to prepare an agreement which would provide for a one-system operating and planning rw-

- m, lia s i c l~catures of New Int erconner t i on Agre.?-nen t In preparing this n?w electric pnuer pooling agree nant , it was recognized that it would be difficult, il not impossible, to foresce at the tin 2 of wr i t i n g the many s i t ua t i o,s wS i ch woul d a r i se ove r the yea rs .
Accordingly, the agreement pro;32r was dividad into two major sections.
The fi rs t section would cover cnly the ganaral princi,ples involved, while the second section would include supplenents covering the neu2rous details.
Thase supplew2nts would be revised as changing conditions warranted. The material covered by each section is as follows:

Sectiin I was written with the follosing objectivas in ni nd :
- 1. To fulty coardinate the electric operatio, and expansion'os the two systems in order -
to athiev.- loarst overall cost and optimun security of pos r supply.
- 2. To share the prospective poolitui b ne f i t s equally, insolar as practicable, betwNo t h.: two conpanies for at least 20 years in the futur'e.
The first of these objectives was obtain2d easily relative to the second. To :stablish coordination, i t was agreed that the Planning Conni ttee would reconnend size , type and location of a pool unit on a one-system approach. It was further agreed that the 03 erat i ng Co n,i ttee would dispatch the two syste.ns as one, exchanging ecolony energy wh en-ever there is a difference in incremental costs, delivering pool unit energy in proportion to capacity connitment at an energy rate including only fuel cost a,d trans nission losses to the dzlivery point, and upholding service reliability on a one-system basis.
/
Achievement of the second objective -- development of proce-dures for sharing benefits -- requi red many studies to test the various co,tractual concepts.
The second section, as previously s'ated, t would cover the numerous and changing operating and planning details, and also include the supplements covering the sharing of pool uni t capacity, fi rin con- g tracts, interconnecticas, and similar matters. (g M ~ _
.u w-Capacity Sha ri ng The Consume rs-Dr:t roi t Ediscn pooling concept is based largely on the principle of each coagany planning for the same reserve percent-age , and , in order to remove any inequities that may occur, an after- -
the-fact adj ustaent (which i s in rea li ty a paynent for capacity) is made on the basis of actual leads at the end of each peak load season.
The ir.plementatio, of this concept and principle is achieved as folloes.
At the tirse it is necessary to make a commitm2nt for acci- 1 tional pool capacity (usually three to four years in advance), each corpany prepares i ts load forecasts and capabilities for the particular i year under consideration. The new pool unit capacity (wnose size, location, t yp e , e tc. ,have previously been decided) is added to the total capacity of the pool. Calculations are then made to datermine the mgawatts each co.apany will require of the pool uni t in order to equal'ize percentage reserves in that period.

The purchasing > arty, f ro.n the date of synchroni za t i on of thi s project , pays its share of these costs monthly and continues these payN ots u1til the advent of the n2xt poal uni t. Th process is repeat-ed similarly for the succeeding pool uni t , wi th i t normally traing the case that the preceding pool unit's capacity reverts totally to the oa1 ng party, and all capacity sharing is accoglished in sharing the latest pool unit. Tnis v.c cell "short-ter.n" participation. Tne agree-maat is , hoaaver, suf ficiently flexible to pernii t long-tcro participa-tion should speci fic conditions warrant.
It it quite evident that this procedure alone could vary well result in inequities, da3 prirerily to load forecast error so far in the future. Tnarefore, at the end of each peak load season an af ter-the-fact adj ustcent is mad 2 Tnis adj ustment aay result in a Principal Capacity Equalization Charge, cr, i f the cdj ustm:nt involves matters such as mi d year capaci ty requi rements , capaci ty darati ngs , di f fering mai ntenance pract i ces , etc. , a Secondary Capaci ty Equaliza t i on Charge may result. In aither event, kilonatts of capacity deficiency are con-puted (if such actually occurred) to ahich a rate in dollars per kilo-val L per year and a iultiplicr are ap; lied in d2terminction of the charge one party oilis the othar. Tne multiplier is steppeo so that a ia<imun charge rate results when one party's accredited capacity is loa enough to jeopardize pool security, and a lessor charge rate results i f respective deficiencies exert less effect to actual adequacy of pool reserve.
If for some reason one company wishes to install capacity having unusual characteristics of dasign for experimental or other purposes, this capacity may also be shared by mutual agreement. Hoa-ever, i f the non-building party do2s not wish to participate cnd dec ns that st.ch gen: ration would not b2 ccononic or fi rm, it may decline to participate. Th2 building comany may pro:ced unilaterally, but such
' . capacity wil1 not be considrred as fim pool capacity for reserva re-qui r' nent J 3ternir.a tions unti l it has proven itself as reliable or until equivalent capacity is acequately guaranteed by the building party.
If at any tim: it becomes apparent that one party's load forecasts are in arror to the extent that the pool reserva may fall beloa the ninimun planned, then the party responsiblc for the defi-ciency mst make every effort to procure short lead time capacity.

This is the transmission required in order to deliver the pool unit's capacity and energy frou the site into the system and is, there-fore, consid2 red for sharing purposes the same as the pool unit caps:ity. In other words , the fixed chargas , operating a,d maintenance costs will be sSared for this transmission in the sa.nc ratio as the pool unit capaci ty is shared, and payr-ents con- ,
tinue for the same length of time as a pool unit.
- 2. _T_r_ansmi ss i on Gri_d L i ngs ._
Transmission lines built to serve a pool function, but not di rectly associated wi th a speci fi c pool uni t , will be treated sepa-rately and will be shared i.n -cost and for a period as mutually agreed upon, dependant
- 7g upon the particuler specific situation.
3 Interconnection _Transmi ssion Li nns.
The annual cost of trcnsmission lines inter-connecting the two co.tpanics is shared on a 50-50 basis. Each party cans the facilities in its service area and pay.ments are made to equalize annual cost. These lines are con-sidered as long-term lines and the 50-50 -.
basis remains throughout the life of the interconnection agree,n:nt.
Other Parties All . pooling arrangements with other parties outside the State of Michi gan must be handled as a joint venture with the two itichigan conpanies acting ~ as a unit.
All arrange.r.ents wi th utili t ies , municipa is , industrials having generation, etc., within the State of Michigan, will be negotiated indi-vidually by the company in whose area such other party is located.
l How2ver, any such capaci ty to be considered fi rm in .the Consuners-D?troit Edison pool must be approsed by the other pool member. _

Since the new agreement went into affcct in D2ce.nber D52, the installation of two pool u,its has bacn agreed upon. The first unit, Jam 2s H. Canpball No. 2, ra ted 335 rer.i, is located o, Lake Michigan naar Grand Rapids and is plann2d for service May 1., 1967. Tna secend, Trenton Channel Na. 9, is located just south of Detroit at the trouth of

The capital costs for each plan in today's dolicrs are esti-mted and fixed charges are corputed and levelized with the aid of a co.nputer program. Co,structio7 costs are escalated as are property taxcs. Capital recovery ra tes are varied to reflect the expected li fe of the several types of equipment.

One-systeu dispatch to provide the loacst overali costbetween of delivered power is pre:.cntly being handled by f requent contact dispatch 2rs. Edison's en-line dispatch coanuter periodically calculates incrennntal cost data. Similar data for the Consumers' system has been prepa,ed in chart and tabular form. As the differential in The costOperating changes, the dispatchers adj ust the interchanga schedule setters.
Conni ttee is stedying the econor.ic feasibility of a pool dispatch center.
In this connection it should be borna in mind that fual costs and thermal efficiencies of the two systems are quite comparable; hence, incremental cost differentials are small. Tha benefits to be realized by automatic intercompany dispacch ray not be large.

Techni-cal a,d economic evaluaticns of interconnections with others are being continuously pursued. Also, interconnection capaci ty between the Ionsumers and Edison systems is presently being increased by installa-tion of a fourth circuit and by a major strengthening of one of the three existing ties. The successf ul conduct of these undertakings lias been e:: pedi ted by the Con'sumers-Det roi t Ediscn Pooling Agreement , and would have been much more di f ficult uncer the former agrecmant.
Conci sion In its two years of existence, tha new pooling agreement has resulted in joint ef fort on an enlarged scale in many areas, particu-larly those of system enginacring, planning and operation. Although more investigations are required to achieve joint d2cisions, each deci-sion is more secure and attendant delays have not handicapped the outcone. Throughout the first two years , addi tional studies have brought factual assurance thac the new agreement is beneficial to both corpanics and there is reassurcnce that anticipated substantial future' benefits will be achieved. _

. When the weighted average cost of all fuel in storage at the Company's interecnnected electric generating stations, at the end of each of the three months i==ediately preceding the month covered by the Castc=er's bill, is nore or less than 33 0 cents per million stu, there shall be a correspond-ing increase or decrease of .0012 cent per kilevatt-hour in the charge for all kilevatt-hours included in such bill, for each full 0.1 cent per million Btu increase above or decrease belev 33 0 cents per million Btu.
Minimum Charge:
The capacity charge included in the rate, but in no case less than $50,000 per =cnth.
Delayed Pav=ent Charge:
Two per cent (2%) of the total =onthly bill if not paid within twenty (20) days frca date rendered.
Tax Clause:
Bills shall be increased within the limits of political subdivisions which levy special taxes, license fees or rentals against the Ccapany's property, cr its operatien, or the pro-duction and/cr sale of electric. energy, to offset such special charges e.nd thereby prevent other customers frcm being cc=-
pelled to share such Iccal increases. Bills shall also be in-
,- creased to offset any nov cr increased specific tax or excise
- imposed by any governmental authority upon the Ccapany's generation or sale of electric energy.
Determination of Maximum Demand:
