14 Response: - 15 TOLEU understands this question as raising the issue that a rate change, and specifically a 16 change of the FAM rate, which went into effect before approval of the past GRA, is not - 17 included in the "existing" cost of...

AI summary The Utility acknowledges that the FAM rate change was not included in the existing cost of power computation for the flow-through application. It argues that the 'existing' cost of power should be computed based on the same basis as the GRA, even if there were forecast variances or errors, to properly adjust retail rates to reflect new wholesale rates.

16 Response:
16 Response: 17 0.11705 was a figure taken from a rate document prior to the Board's final Order and was not 18 intended to include any FAM amount. The appropriate amount has been verified as 0.11600 per 19 the Board's Order, and has been...

AI summary The text discusses a correction to a rate document figure from before the Board's final Order, referencing the Fuel Adjustment Mechanism (FAM). It also asks about the methodology used for setting growth factors in energy consumption forecasts based on the General Rate Application (GRA).

29 Response:

3 Response: - 4 On review of the results of this analysis, it was discovered that certain billing adjustments had not - 5 been included in energy consumption amounts for 2024/25 and 2025/26. On the basis of further - 6 analysis completed o...

AI summary The Utility identified billing adjustments not included in energy consumption amounts for 2024/25 and 2025/26, leading to revised estimates of 4.54% and 5.90%, respectively. The Utility is concerned about the 2025/26 figures but has not isolated additional causes. It suggests an averaging approach and a line loss estimate of 4.41% is reasonable.

25 Response:
25 Response: - 26 It is correct that the approach used was to estimate this factor based on actual purchases in prior - 27 periods. Reflecting the fact that relative energy use in each month varies from year to year, - 28 TOLEU has used an...

AI summary The Utility acknowledges that customer load factors change over time but has not conducted a study on these changes. For the GRA, recent billing data and forecasts were used to estimate load factors and customer growth, and TOLEU considers this approach reasonable for a few years, with a review planned in the next GRA.

7 Response:
7 Response: 6 22 29 30 8 a) Yes, in adjusting to a calendar 2027 year for the January 2027 approved municipal rate, 9 the same adjustment applicable to wholesale power should have been applied to retail 10 sales. To do so, a 2027 calendar...
