`
`It has come to my attention that WEPCO planste divideits single cross-state Local Balancing Authority
`{LBA) into two separate LBA areas in Michigan and Wisconsin, creating a split at the state line. If this
`occurs, and the System Support Resource contract for the PresqueIsle Plant is approved, it appears that
`the Michigan LBAwill be allocated 93.57% of the total SSR costs of $96 million, or about $90 million.
`Consequently, only 10% of the electric load in the current WEPCO LBA—the Michigan UP portion—will
`be responsible for the $90 million cost.
`
`This allocation is unfair and will result in large increases in tariff transmission charges for UP customers
`behind WEPCO. For my company,the estimated increase is 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, or about $17,052
`annually! Common sense tells me that these SSR costs should be shared across the Wisconsin and
`Michigan on the basis of customerelectric load in each area, as other generation costs have been shared
`in the past, approved by both the Michigan Public Service Commission and the Public Service
`Commission of Wisconsin. The WEPCO LBAhasincluded both states for many years. To divide it now
`and force 93.57% of the costs onto 10% of the load is going to hurt not only my business, but also jobs
`and the economythroughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
