`
`Basis for Intervening:
`McKenzie Electric Cooperative, Inc. (âMcKenzieâ) respectfully moves to
`intervene in the above-captioned proceedings. McKenzie is a member-owned rural
`electric cooperative that serves approximately 4,400 residential, commercial,
`and industrial member-owners in portions of seven counties in North Dakota and
`Montana. McKenzie is a member-owner of Upper Missouri G. & T. Electric
`Cooperative, Inc. d/b/a Upper Missouri Power Cooperative (âUpper Missouriâ),
`a transmission services cooperative in Montana and North Dakota. McKenzie has
`an all-requirements contract with Upper Missouri that does not expire until
`2075. Upper Missouri is a Class A member of Basin Electric Power Cooperative
`(âBasin Electricâ) and has a wholesale power contract with Basin Electric
`that does not expire until 2075. McKenzie is a Class C member of Basin
`Electric. The primary component of McKenzieâs costs for electric service is
`Basinâs cost-of-service rate for service, which is passed through to McKenzie
`in Upper Missouriâs formula rate.
`McKenzie allocates the costs that it incurs under its all-requirements contract
`to its own member-owners, i.e., residential, commercial, and industrial
`consumers, through retail rates. As a member of Basin Electric, McKenzie
`therefore has a direct and substantial interest in the outcome of these
`proceedings and cannot be adequately represented by any other participant. For
`these reasons, McKenzie respectfully requests that the Commission grant its
`motion to intervene and grant it full party status.
