Affected electric utilities:
Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc.
Central Power & Light Company

West Texas Utilities Company
Tex-La currently receives wholesale electric service at 28 points
of delivery (PODS) on TU Electric's system and 5 PODs on SESCO's
system, all within the load control area of TU Electric. Tex-La seeks
transmission services from TU Electric and SESCO which will enable Tex-
LA to move the operational control of these 33 PODs from the load
control area of TU Electric to the load control area of West Texas
Utilities Company (WTU) using remote control telemetry equipment.
The proposed date for initiating the requested transmission service
is June 29, 1994, or as soon thereafter as the operational control of
all Tex-La PODs on TU Electric's and SESCO's systems has been
transferred to WTU and service by WTU commences. The proposed date for
terminating the requested transmission services is February 1, 2025,
except that, as to any such POD which Tex-La transfers prior to such
date to the Southwest Power Pool, transmission service shall cease at
the time of such transfer.
During 1992, the sum of the non-coincident peak demands at the 28
Tex-La PODs on the TU Electric system was 92.5 MW, and a total of
358,760 MWH of energy was delivered to Tex-La by TU Electric at such
PODs. At the 5 PODs on SESCO's system, the sum of Tex-La's 1992 non-

requested by Tex-La is firm network transmission service, over the TU
Electric and SESCO transmission systems at a level and quantity
sufficient for Tex-La to meet its loads at the PODs with (1) 27.5 MW of
power and energy sold by the Southwestern Power Administration from the
Denison Dam hydroelectric facility, (2) when Denison Dam is
unavailable, 27.5 MW of backup power from Brazos Electric Power
Cooperative, Inc., (3) 6 MW of power sold by Central Power and Light
Company, and (4) wholesale power purchased from WTU for the balance of

13. Northern Indiana Public Service Company
[Docket No. EL94-15-000]
Take notice that on December 15, 1993, Northern Indiana Public
Service Company (Northern Indiana), tendered for filing a petition
requesting a Commission determination that it will not exercise its
jurisdiction, granted by the Federal Power Act (FPA), over service
provided by Northern Indiana to Greenfield Mills, Inc. (Greenfield
Mills), the owner and operator of a hydroelectric facility in Lagrange
County, Indiana. Northern Indiana purchases power generated by
Greenfield Mills and, should Greenfield Mills need electricity for its
operations, Northern Indiana provides such ``backfeed'' power from its
system supply. Northern Indiana will purchase power generated by
Greenfield Mills during the 18-hour period from 6 a.m. to midnight at a
rate of 7 mills per kilowatt hour (Kwh); power generated during the
remaining six hours of the day will be purchased by Northern Indiana at
a rate of 3 mills per Kwh. Northern Indiana sells backfeed to
Greenfield Mills by offsetting two Kwh of power purchased for every one
Kwh of power sold.
Northern Indiana seeks a declaratory order regarding Commission
jurisdiction due to the de minimis nature of the Greenfield Mills
transaction. Over the past 10 years, Northern Indiana's annual revenue
from the contract has been about $865 per year and, during the past
decade, Northern Indiana has sold only 615,200 Kwh of power to
Greenfield Mills, representing only 38 ten-thousandths of one percent
of its total sales for resale. Copies of Northern Indiana's petition
for declaratory order are on file with the Commission and are available
for public inspection.
