The service would be costed on single-system basis for the EWU, with one joint rate for use of the integrated transmission system of three utilities. Revenues would be shared by the EWU. WPPI also requested that the EWU unbundle their transmission services from power sales services. Copies of the application have been served upon the affected parties, WEPCO, WP&L, WPS, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, and upon Madison Gas & Electric Company.
