In the Matter of:
Southeastern Power Administration
Rate Order No. SEPA-62
Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina System Power Rates

Order Confirming And Approving

Power Rates on an Interim Basis

    Rate Order No. SEPA-62 and associated rate schedules are applicable 
to Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern) power sold to 
existing preference customers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, 
Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The rate schedules are 
approved on an interim basis, effective October 1, 2022, through 
September 30, 2027, and are subject to confirmation and approval by the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on a final basis.

Background

    Power from the Georgia-Alabama-South Carolina Projects is presently 
sold under Wholesale Power Rate Schedules SOCO-1-F, SOCO-2-F, SOCO-3-F, 
SOCO-4-F, ALA-1-O, Duke-1-F, Duke-2-F, Duke-3-F, Duke-4-F, Santee-1-F, 
Santee-2-F, Santee-3-F, Santee-4-F, SCE&G-1-F, SCE&G-2-F, SCE&G-3-F,

approved by the FERC in docket number EF17-5-000 on January 25, 2018, 
for a period ending September 30, 2022 (162 FERC ] 62,059).

Public Notice and Comment

    Notice of a proposed rate adjustment was published in the Federal 
Register March 25, 2022 (87 FR 17080). The notice advised interested 
parties of a proposed reduction in the capacity rates of approximately 
one percent (1%) and an increase of four percent (4%) for energy. The 
proposed increase in the revenue requirement was about two percent 
(2%). A public information and comment forum was held April 26, 2022, 
in Atlanta, Georgia. Written comments were accepted through June 23, 
2022. Comments were received from two parties at the forum. Written 
comments were received from twelve interested parties.
    Comments received from interested parties are summarized below. 
Southeastern's responses are also provided.
    Oral Comment 1: In reviewing the public notice and the materials 
submitted to date, it appears that the rates as proposed are entirely 
consistent with Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 and the 
administrator has used his discretion to set the rates as low as 
possible consistent with sound business principles, and the 
Southeastern Federal Power Customers support that approach and 
continued diligence by the administrator. There are perhaps a couple of 
questions that the materials raise that we will follow up in further 
inquiries in terms of Corps revenue and Corps O&M projections, but at 
this time

[[Page 52953]]

that's the sum and total of our comments right now.
    Oral Comment 2: We would like to add that as we've most recently 
reviewed potential costs associated with stimulus dollars, that those 
stimulus dollars monies not be included in any future rate study. With 
that, that concludes my report.
    Written Comment 1: The public notice represents that SEPA has 
proposed a de minimis rate increase to account increases in the costs 
of providing the hydropower. We appreciate the efforts of the SEPA 
staff to develop a rate that provides the lowest possible increase in 
the face of rising costs. Furthermore, we understand that the proposed 
rate does not include amounts for stimulus funds that Congress provided 
to the Corps in 2021. We support this decision and resulting rate.
    Response to Oral Comments 1 and 2, and Written Comment 1: 
Southeastern continues to work with preference customers and the Corps 
to review operation and maintenance actual costs and estimates to 
ensure accuracy of cost assignment and projections to establish the 
lowest possible rates consistent with sound business principles within 
the meaning of Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944. Southeastern 
will continue to monitor costs and processes to ensure only appropriate 
hydropower program related costs are reflected in power rates charged 
to customers.
    Written Comment 2: SeFPC supports the proposed rate adjustment for 
the GA-AL-SC system of projects. SeFPC also comments on the authority 
of the Administrator to set the rates under Section 5 of the Flood 
Control Act of 1944. SeFPC further comments on the discretion SEPA 
enjoys in determining how to structure the recovery of prospective 
costs associated with the federal hydropower purpose. At heart of the 
SeFPC's comments is the assertion that stimulus funding provided to the 
US Army Corps of Engineers in IIJA and DRSA laws should only be 
included in SEPA rates to the extent that the expenditure is 
attributable to hydropower purposes, regardless of Corps cost 
accounting.
    Response to Written Comment 2: Southeastern has a statutory duty to 
balance the recovery of costs of the Corps projects in a reasonable 
number of years while providing the lowest possible rates to preference 
customers consistent with sound business principles. Southeastern has 
received no financial documents from the Corps regarding the assignment 
of costs to the hydropower purpose related to the funding referenced in 
the comment. As Southeastern receives updated data, the Administrator 
will determine the appropriate costs that are subject to recovery 
though the rate in future actions.

Discussion

System Repayment

    An examination of Southeastern's revised system power repayment 
study, prepared in December 2021, for the Georgia-Alabama-South 
Carolina System shows that with the proposed rates, all system power 
costs are paid within the appropriate repayment period required by 
existing law and DOE Order RA 6120.2. The Administrator, Southeastern 
Power Administration has certified that the rates are consistent with 
applicable law and that they are the lowest possible rates to customers 
consistent with sound business principles.

Legal Authority

    Pursuant to Section 302(a) of the Department of Energy Organization 
Act (Pub. L. 95-91, 42 U.S.C. 7152(a)), the functions of the Secretary 
of the Interior and the Federal Power Commission under Section 5 of the 
Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), relating to Southeastern, 
were transferred to and vested in the Secretary of Energy. By 
Delegation Nos. S1-DEL-RATES-2016 and S1-DEL-RATES-1993, effective 
November 19, 2016, and November 4, 1993, respectively, the Secretary of 
Energy delegated to the Administrator, Southeastern Power 
Administration, the authority to develop power and transmission rates, 
to the Deputy Secretary of Energy the authority to confirm, approve, 
and place such rates into effect on an interim basis, and to FERC the 
authority to confirm, approve, and place into effect on a final basis 
or to disapprove rates developed by the Administrator under the 
delegation. By Delegation No. S1-DEL-S3-2022-2, effective June 13, 
2022, the Secretary of Energy also delegated the authority to confirm, 
approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the 
Under Secretary (for Infrastructure). By Redelegation No. S3-DEL-SEPA1-
2022, effective June 13, 2022, the Secretary of Energy, for the Under 
Secretary (for Infrastructure), redelegated the authority to confirm, 
approve, and place such rates into effect on an interim basis to the 
Administrator, Southeastern Power Administration, under which this rate 
is confirmed, approved, and placed into effect on an interim basis by 
the Administrator, Southeastern Power Administration.

Environmental Impact

    Southeastern has reviewed the possible environmental impacts of the 
rate adjustment under consideration and has concluded that, because the 
adjusted rates would not significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act 
of 1969, as amended, the proposed action is not a major Federal action 
for which preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is required.

Determination Under Executive Order 12866

    Southeastern has an exemption from centralized regulatory review 
under Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no clearance of this notice 
by the Office of Management and Budget is required.

Availability of Information

    Information regarding these rates, including studies, and other 
supporting materials, is available for public review in the offices of 
Southeastern Power Administration, 1166 Athens Tech Road, Elberton, 
Georgia 30635-6711.

Order

    In view of the foregoing and pursuant to the authority delegated to 
me by the Secretary of Energy, I hereby confirm and approve on an 
interim basis, effective October 1, 2022, attached Wholesale Power Rate 
Schedules SOCO-1-G, SOCO-2-G, SOCO-3-G, SOCO-4-G, Duke-1-G, Duke-2-G, 
Duke-3-G, Duke-4-G, Santee-1-G, Santee-2-G, Santee-3-G, Santee-4-G, 
SCE&G-1-G, SCE&G-2-G, SCE&G-3-G, SCE&G-4-G, Pump-1-A, and Replacement-
1. The rate schedules shall remain in effect on an interim basis

Availability

    This rate schedule shall be available to public bodies and 
cooperatives (any one of whom is hereinafter called the Customer) in 
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, or North 
Carolina to whom power is provided pursuant to contracts between the 
Government and the Customer.

Applicability

    This rate schedule shall be applicable to the sale at wholesale 
energy generated from pumping operations at the Carters and Richard B. 
Russell Projects and sold under appropriate contracts between the 
Government and the Customer. The energy will be segregated from energy 
from other pumping operations.

Character of Service

    The energy supplied hereunder will be delivered at the delivery 
points provided for under appropriate contracts between the Government 
and the Customer.

Monthly Rate

    The rate for energy sold under this rate schedule for the months 
specified shall be:

EnergyRate = (Cwav / Fwav) / (1-Ld)
[computed to the nearest $.00001 (1/100 mill) per kWh]
(The weighted average cost of energy for pumping divided by the energy 
conversion factor, quantity divided by one minus losses for delivery.)

Where:

Cwav = CT1 / ET1

(The weighted average cost of energy for pumping for this rate 
schedule is equal to the cost of energy purchased or supplied for 
the benefit of the customer for pumping divided by the total energy 
for pumping.)

CT1 = Cp + Cs

(Cost of energy for pumping for this rate schedule is equal to the 
cost of energy purchased or supplied for the benefit of the customer 
plus the cost of energy in storage carried over from the month 
preceding the specified month.)

ET1 = Epx (1-Lp) + Est-1

(Energy for pumping for this rate schedule is equal to the energy 
purchased or supplied for the benefit of the customer, after losses, 
plus the energy for pumping in storage as of the end of the month 
preceding the specified month.)

Cs = Ct-1wav x Et-1s

(Cost of energy in storage is equal to the

[[Page 52964]]

weighted average cost of energy for pumping for the month preceding 
the specified month times the energy for pumping in storage at the 
end of the month preceding the specified month.)
Cp = Dollars cost of energy purchased or supplied for the benefit of 
the customer for pumping during the specified month, including all 
direct costs to deliver energy to the project.
Ep = Kilowatt-hours of energy purchased or supplied for the benefit 
of the customer for pumping during the specified month.
Lp = Energy loss factor for transmission on energy purchased or 
supplied for the benefit of the customer for pumping (Expected to be 
.03 or three percent.)
Est-1 = Kilowatt-hours of energy in storage as of the end of the 
month immediately preceding the specified month.
Ct-1wav = Weighted average cost of energy for pumping for the month 
immediately preceding the specified month.
Fwav = EG / ET

(Weighted average energy conversion factor is equal to the energy 
generated from pumping divided by the total energy for pumping.)
EG = Energy generated from pumping.
Ld = Weighted average energy loss factor on energy delivered by the 
facilitator to the customer.

Energy To Be Furnished by the Government

    The Government will sell to the Customer and the Customer will 
purchase from the Government energy each billing month equivalent to a 
percentage specified by contract of the energy made available to the 
Facilitator (less any losses required by the Facilitator). The 
Customer's contract demand and accompanying energy will be allocated 
proportionately to its individual delivery points served from the 
Facilitator's system.

Billing Month

    The billing month for power sold under this schedule shall end at 
12:00 midnight on the last day of each calendar month.

(The weighted average cost of energy for replacement energy divided by 
one minus losses for delivery.)
Where:

Cwav = Cp / (Epx(1-Lp))

(The weighted average cost of energy for replacement energy is equal 
to the cost of replacement energy purchased divided by the 
replacement energy purchased, net losses.)
Cp = Dollars cost of energy purchased for replacement energy during 
the specified month, including all direct costs to deliver energy to 
the project.
Ep = Kilowatt-hours of energy purchased for replacement energy 
during the specified month.
