`
`It has come to my attention that WEPCOplansto divide its 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 LBA will be allocated 93.57% of
`the total SSR costs of $96 million, or about $90 million. Consequently, only 10% ofthe electric load in the current
`WEPCO LBA—the Michigan UP portion—will be responsible for the $90 million cost.
`
`This allocation is unfair and wiil result in large increasesin tariff transmission charges for UP customers behind WEPCO.
`For my company,the estimated increase is 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, or about $96,000 annually! Commonsensetells
`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 LBA has included both states for many years.
`To divide it now and force 93.57% of the costs onto 10% of the foad is going to hurt not only my business, but also jobs
`and the economy throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
