`
`Basis for Intervening:
`Butler County Rural Electric Cooperative ("Butler") respectfully moves to 
`intervene in Docket No. ER19­2909­000, in which Basin Electric Power Cooperative
`(â(cid:128)(cid:156)Basin Electric â(cid:128)(cid:157)) submits Rate Schedule A to the Federal Energy Regulatory 
`Commission (â(cid:128)(cid:156)Commission â(cid:128)(cid:157)) for approval. Rate Schedule A establishes a 
`comprehensive cost of service rate for the service that Basin Electric provides 
`to its eighteen Class A member cooperatives and one Class D member cooperative 
`(individually, a â(cid:128)(cid:156)Member, â(cid:128)(cid:157) and collectively,  â(cid:128)(cid:156)Members â(cid:128)(cid:157)) pursuant to the 
`terms of wholesale power contracts (â(cid:128)(cid:156)Wholesale Power Contracts â(cid:128)(cid:157)). Basin 
`Electric explains that it makes this filing because it will no longer qualify 
`for an exemption from Commission regulation under the Federal Power Act on the 
`earlier of the date on which: (1) it admits a Class A Member that does not 
`qualify for such an exemption or (2) an existing Class A Member ceases to 
`qualify for such an exemption. Basin Electric requests waiver of the 
`Commissionâ(cid:128)(cid:153)s notice requirements and asks that the Commission permit the Rate 
`Schedules to go into effect on the date on which Basin Electric becomes subject 
`to the Commissionâ(cid:128)(cid:153)s jurisdiction.
`
`Butler is a member­owned electric distribution cooperative serving six counties 
`in North­Central Iowa.  Butler was established in 1936.  It owns and operates 
`1825 miles of electric distribution line, which interconnects with 23 
`substations.  Butler is one of nine member cooperatives supplied by Corn Belt 
`Power Cooperative ("Corn Belt"). Butler purchases all of its power requirements 
`from Corn Belt pursuant to the terms of an all­requirements wholesale power 
`contract, which has a term that extends until 2075.  The duration of Butler's 
`agreement with Corn Belt mirrors the duration of Corn Belt's wholesale power 
`contract with Basin.  Butler recovers the cost of its power supply from its 
`member­owners, which include residential, irrigation, commercial, industrial, 
`and sales for resale customers.  Butler is a cooperative corporation organized 
`under the provisions of Chapter 499 of the Code of Iowa (2019) and is a public 
`utility under Iowa Code Chapter 476.  Butler's principal place of business is in
`Allison, Iowa.  It is governed by a nine member Board of Directors.  Butler is a
`Class C member of Basin and its power supplier Corn Belt is a class A member of 
`Basin.  Butler is a borrower under the United States Department of Agriculture 
`Rural Utilities Service program and it sells less than 4,000,000 MWh of 
`electricity per year.  Therefore, it is not a "public utility" under section 
`201(e) of the FPA by virtue of section 201(f) of the FPA.  16 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 824(e)
`and 824(f).  
`
`

`

`As a Member of Basin Electric, Butler has a direct and substantial interest in 
`the outcome of this proceeding that cannot be adequately represented by any 
`other participant. Accordingly, Butler respectfully requests that it be granted 
`full party status in this proceeding.
