3. Oglethorpe Power Corp. v. Georgia Power Co. Municipal Electric
Authority of Georgia v. Georgia Power Co.
[Docket No. EL94-81-000]
Take notice that on July 28, 1994, Oglethorpe Power Corporation
(Oglethorpe Power) and the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia
(MEAG) (collectively the Complainants) filed a Joint Complaint against
Georgia Power Company (Georgia Power) pursuant to Sections 206 and 306
of the Federal Power Act and Rule 206 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure. The Complainants allege that Georgia Power
Company unlawfully included certain capacity associated with a Unit
Power Sale contract between Gulf States Utilities Company (Gulf States)
and certain of the Southern Companies (including Georgia Power) in
calculations of reserve charges under a Partial Requirements (PR)
Tariff on file with the Commission applicable to sales to the
Complainants. Complainants argue that Georgia Power violated the
``filed rate'' doctrine because it included such capacity in reserve
charge calculations in violation of a PR Tariff and a related
settlement agreement between the parties.
As an alternative theory of relief, Oglethorpe Power and MEAG argue
that even if Georgia Power has not violated the ``filed rate''
doctrine, Georgia Power is obligated to share with ratepayers
appropriate portions of the proceeds that it received from Gulf States,
especially with PR customers who shouldered over $16.5 million, plus
interest, in extra reserve cost associated with the flow-through of the
Gulf States charges.
Comment date: September 2, 1994, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph E at the end of this notice. Answers to the complaint shall
