Re: Boston Edison Company
DPU 96-100 and DPU 96-23
Dear Secretary ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇:
I am pleased to forward to you for filing with the Department a
Restructuring Settlement Agreement entered into between Boston Edison Company,
Massachusetts Attorney General ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Massachusetts Division
of Energy Resources, and Alternate Power Source, American National Power,
Citizens Power, Competitive Power Coalition, Conservation Law Foundation,
Consumer Advisory Panel, Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, Intercontinental
Energy Corp., Massachusetts High Technology Council, Northeast Energy and
Commerce Association, Northeast Energy Efficiency Council, Polaroid
Corporation, Retailers Association of Massachusetts, The Energy Consortium,
U.S. Generating Company. Also enclosed for filing is a Joint Motion of the
Parties to the Settlement requesting that the Department approve this
Settlement by September 15, 1997. I have provided a brief description of the
key elements of the Settlement below. We assume the Department will hold
public hearings on this Settlement. At that time we will make available
various individuals to address the provisions of this Settlement in more
detail.
General Overview
The Settlement is designed to provide a resolution of issues presented in
the industry restructuring Docket Nos. D.P.U. 96-100 and D.P.U. 96-23. Once
approved by the Department, this Settlement will require a restructuring of
Boston Edison in furtherance of the competitive market structure objectives of
the Department and will implement, Consumers First, the restructuring plan of
the Attorney General as applied to Boston Edison. The Settlement includes a
commitment by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to voluntarily
▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
July 8, 1997
Page 2
divest its generation business, except for Pilgrim Station, through a sale or
spin-off of 100 percent of that business. It also requires the Company to use
its best efforts to dispose of its above-market purchase power contracts. In
consideration for these and other commitments the Settlement assures Boston
Edison's recovery of 100% of its stranded costs.
This Settlement also resolves certain ratemaking issues before the
Department for Boston Edison and assures that Boston Edison's rates to retail
customers comply fully with the requirements of the Attorney General's
principles. In particular, each customer will receive a 10 percent decrease
in rates. Boston Edison also maintains its strong commitment to Demand Side
Management and renewables by fixing budgets totaling nearly $210 million over
the next four years. Finally, this Settlement resolves certain other issues
necessary to implement retail choice for Boston Edison's customers on the
Retail Access Date, which is defined as the later of January 1, 1998 or the
date when retail access is made available to all customers of the investor-
owned utilities in Massachusetts.
Generation Assets and Purchased Power Contracts
The Settlement sets out a comprehensive approach for the valuation and
divestiture of the Company's generation assets, including its purchased power
contracts.
In regards to its fossil generating facilities the Settlement requires
that the Company divest those assets. Within ten days of filing this
Settlement Agreement with the Department, the Company will file with the
Department, for informational purposes only, a detailed plan for the sale of
it non-nuclear generation assets. The plan calls for the Company to hold an
auction of its various facilities, with the Department reviewing and approving
the final sales agreement when they are executed. It is the Company's goal to
close on these sales before the end of 1997.
There is no requirement that the Company divest Pilgrim, its only nuclear
asset. However, the Company has agreed to submit a plan to the Department by
January 1, 1999, establishing a process by which a market valuation of Pilgrim
will be completed by the end of 2002. During the first three years of
operation following the Retail Access Date, Boston Edison will assume 75% of
the risk of Pilgrim's operation. Following that period the Company will
assume 100% of that risk. In addition, various performance standards will be
imposed on Pilgrim's operation.
▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
July 8, 1997

In regards to power purchase contracts, the Company has agreed to
endeavor to try to terminate or to reduce its obligations under these
contracts. To this end it will file a plan with the Department by July 1,
1998, setting forth its strategies for achieving this objective.
RETAIL RATES
Boston Edison will freeze its base rates until the Retail Access Date,
provided that date occurs prior to January 1, 2001. Prior to the Retail
Access Date, Boston Edison will unbundle its retail rates in accordance with
its filing and the Department's order in Docket No. DPU 97-40. The fuel
charge will remain in effect on a fully reconciling basis and the Company's
New Performance Adjustment Charge and Generating Unit Performance Program
requirements also will remain in effect.
Following the Retail Access Date, the Company's rates will consist of a
distribution charge, a transmission charge, an access charge and a standard
offer service charge.
The distribution charge will remain in effect until at least January 1,
2001. It will contain provisions for performance based penalties based on
customer satisfaction and distribution system reliability. The Company has
created a storm fund of $8 million, which will be funded initially from the
proceeds of the sale of certain clean air credits. There also is a rate of
return collar. The Company is able to increase its ▇▇▇ should it fall below
6% and will share with customers any amount in excess of 11%. The low income
discount of 40% will remain in effect and the Company will protect against
redlining by paying suppliers of low income customers directly for power
delivered up to the standard offer prices.
The transmission charge will be designed to collect all of the Company's
FERC approved transmission costs. It will be collected on a fully reconciling
basis. In addition, the Company will be allowed to collect transmission
congestion costs, so long as they are not accounted for in other charges.
The access charge is designed to collect 100% of the Company's stranded
costs. It will consist of fixed and variable components. The fixed
components include primarily unrecovered net book value of generation plant
and generation-related regulatory assets. The net proceeds of fossil
divestiture, Pilgrim valuation and transfer of purchase power contracts will
be credited to the fixed portion of the access charge. The variable component
of the access charge will include primarily nuclear decommissioning costs,
above-market purchased power contracts, above market fuel transportation
contracts,
▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
July 8, 1997
Page 4
payments in lieu of property taxes and employee severance and retirement
costs. The access charge will remain in effect for 12 years, except that
above market purchase power contracts and nuclear decommissioning will be
collected over a longer period, as costs are incurred. It will be fixed at
3.51 cents per kWh for 1998 and will decline thereafter, with a maximum charge
in 1999 and 2000 of 3.35 cents per kWh. The charge will be updated annually
effective January 1 of each year.
Standard Offer Service will be available to retail customers as of the
Retail Access Date and will remain available for 7 years. Once a customer
leaves the Standard Offer he or she may not return, except for residential and
small commercial customers, who may return within 90 days of leaving during
the first year following the Retail Access Date. The Standard Offer Rates are
fixed at the following levels for the years indicated:
Calendar Year Average Price per kilowatthour
------------- ------------------------------
1998 2.8 cents
1999 3.1 cents
2000 3.4 cents
2001 3.8 cents
2002 4.2 cents
2003 4.7 cents
2004 5.1 cents
The Company will put the Standard Offer out to bid. If the bid is not
100% subscribed, the Company will back up the standard offer using the
following resources on a least cost basis: existing power supply contracts,
its own fossil units so long as they are still available to the Company,
Pilgrim, and short-term market purchases. Differences between the market
price and the Standard Offer price will be reconciled through a surcharge to
the Standard Offer. The Standard Offer is available to all retail customers,
except for those retail customers currently being served under a special
contract.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND CONSERVATION
The Settlement requires the Company to impose more stringent standards
on its fossil units. In addition it commits the Company to spend over $200
million on DSM programs over the next four years. This amount includes
approximately $98 million for new DSM and $38.7 million for renewables. Also
included in these budgets is a commitment to spend at least 15% of the
residential budget on low income customers and to increase weatherization
and fuel assistance budgets from $935,000 in 1998 to $2.3
▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
July 8, 1997
Page 5
million in 2001. The parties agree to work collaboratively on all DSM matters
and will file a plan with the Department consistent with these budgets on
September 1, 1997.
OTHER PROVISIONS
As part of the Settlement the Company agrees to support ▇▇▇▇▇▇ reform
consistent with the proposal filed at the FERC by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in December 1996. We
also agree to support efforts to develop a fully functioning wholesale market
in New England. The Settlement calls upon the Department to make the
necessary findings to permit Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to attain EWG status. The parties
also agree to support ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s request, if and when made to the
Department, to invest up to an additional $150 million in Boston Edison's
subsidiary BETG. In addition the parties have developed an informal dispute
resolution mechanism which calls for the exchange of relevant information
prior to the Company' filing for a change in the access charge.

Electric Utility Industry Restructuring ) D.P.U. Docket Nos. 96-100
) and 96-23
RESTRUCTURING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This Restructuring Settlement Agreement ("Settlement") is jointly
sponsored by the Office of the Attorney General ("Attorney General"), the
Massachusetts Division of Energy Resources ("DOER"), Alternate Power Source,
American National Power, Citizens Power, Competitive Power Coalition,
Conservation Law Foundation, Consumer Advisory Panel, Greater Boston Chamber
of Commerce, Intercontinental Energy Corp., Massachusetts High Technology
Council, Northeast Energy and Commerce Association, Northeast Energy
Efficiency Council, Polaroid Corporation, Retailers Association of
Massachusetts, The Energy Consortium, U.S. Generating Company and Boston
Edison Company ("Boston Edison"). The Settlement is designed to provide a
resolution of some issues presented in the industry restructuring Docket Nos.
D.P.U. 96-100 (the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities'
("Department")) generic
proceeding on electric utility restructuring) and D.P.U. 96-23 (Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s own restructuring proceeding). This Settlement, once approved by
the Department, would require a restructuring of Boston Edison in furtherance
of the competitive market structure objectives of the Department and would
implement, Consumers First, the restructuring plan of the Attorney General as
applied to Boston Edison. The Settlement includes a commitment by Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇ to voluntarily divest its generation business, except as provided in
section V.C.2.(b) and subject to the provisions of section V.C.3 of this
Settlement, through a sale or spin-off of 100 percent of that business, and
the assurance of stranded cost recovery by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. This Settlement
also resolves certain ratemaking issues before the Department for Boston
Edison and assures that Boston Edison's rates to retail customers comply fully
with the requirements of the Attorney General's principles. Finally, this
Settlement resolves certain other issues necessary to implement retail choice
for Boston Edison's customers on the Retail Access Date, which is defined as
the later of January 1, 1998 or the date when retail access is made available
to all customers of the investor-owned utilities in Massachusetts.
The parties to this Settlement recognize and fully understand that their
mutual promises in this Settlement evidence the consideration they have
extended to each other in their efforts to settle the issues of D.P.U. 96-23
in accordance with the principles articulated in D.P.U. 96-100. The
willingness and ability of Boston Edison to commit to and fulfill any and all
of its obligations under this Settlement, including in particular the full
divestiture of its generating business, except as provided in section
V.C.2.(b) and subject to the provisions of section V.C.3 of this Settlement,
are predicated and conditioned upon the commitments by the Attorney General
and the Department to the recovery in full of Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s stranded costs,
as set forth in this Settlement. The Settlement is designed to implement the
Attorney General's principles for
022
electric industry restructuring in Massachusetts in a manner that is
consistent with the proposals articulated by the Department in its orders in
D.P.U. 96-100. It is further designed to insure recovery of Boston Edison's
access charge as part of its transition from a fully bundled, completely
regulated electric utility to an unbundled delivery company in an emerging
competitive industry.
The Settlement follows the outline of the Attorney General's principles. The
parties have agreed on the following:
I. Price Reductions for Customers
------------------------------
Implementation of the Attorney General's principles will produce reduced rates
for all retail customers on the Retail Access Date. Under the Settlement,
Boston Edison will freeze base rates prior to the Retail Access Date and will
collect from or credit to retail customers any increases or decreases in New
Performance Adjustment Clause ("NPAC") recovery authorized by DPU 89-100. In
addition, Boston Edison will credit to customers any decreases that may arise
out of refunds from Boston Edison's generating unit performance ("GUPP")
review cases, both those cases currently pending before the Department (Docket
Nos. DPU 96-1-A and DPU 97-1-A) and those future GUPP cases covering the
period from November 1, 1996 to the Retail Access Date pursuant to
▇.▇. ▇. 164, 94G. Subject to the provisions of Section I.B.2(f), effective
on the Retail Access Date, Boston Edison will reduce its rates to all
customers by 10 percent and will provide retail delivery tariffs with a
standard offer option. Such tariffs are included in Attachment 1.
I.A. The Unbundled Rates Effective Until the Retail Access Date
----------------------------------------------------------
Effective July 1, 1997 Boston Edison will unbundle its retail rates in
accordance with the filing it made with the Department on March 3, 1997 in
Docket No. DPU 97-40.
I.A.1. Boston Edison's fuel and purchased power clause will continue to
be subject to the requirements of ▇.▇. ▇. 164, 94G and operate as a fully
reconciling charge during the effective period of the unbundled rates.
I.A.2. Boston Edison's unbundled rates will be used for billing
purposes to provide information to customers. Further information, including
market price estimates based upon estimates of variable energy and capacity
costs will be made available to any customer upon request.
I.A.3. The unbundled rates shall remain in effect for all usage prior
to the Retail Access Date, subject to refunds from Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s GUPP review
cases, Section I.C, below, and any authorized NPAC charges. The fuel
adjustment factor shall be applied to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ after the Retail Access Date
for usage occurring before the Retail Access Date. The final fuel factor
balances remaining after the Retail Access Date shall be returned to or
collected from customers in the first quarter after the Retail Access Date
such final balances shall include any adjustments required to be made as the
result of the Department's issuance of a GUPP order or orders covering the
period from November 1, 1995 though the Retail Access Date.
I.A.4. Effective on April 1, 1997, Boston Edison shall close, or cease
to offer, to new customers its Manufacturing Retention Rate.
024
I.B. Retail Delivery Rates and the Standard Offer Effective from the
---------------------------------------------------------------
Retail Access Date Through December 31, 2000
--------------------------------------------
The retail delivery rates included in Attachment 1 shall become effective
for usage on and after the Retail Access Date on the following terms.
I.B.1. Retail Delivery Charges
-----------------------
Boston Edison's retail delivery rates included in Attachment 1 include
four components. The distribution and access charges will be included in a
delivery service charge, the transmission charges will be billed in a separate
transmission cost adjustment charge, and the standard offer charges will be
billed separately to customers taking standard offer service. The four
components are as follows:
I.B.1.(a) Distribution charges These charges will remain in
--------------------
place through December 31, 2000 and may be superseded by a filing that becomes
effective, after suspension, on January 1, 2001. Performance standards are
also established for reliability and customer satisfaction in the distribution
component of the rate with credits to customers if the standards are not
achieved;
I.B.1.(b) Transmission charges These charges will recover on a
--------------------
fully reconciling basis the transmission charges to Boston Edison's retail
customers under Boston Edison's FERC approved transmission tariffs, together
with the charges, if any, billed to Boston Edison by or for the benefit of a
Regional Transmission Group, an Independent System Operator, any other
transmission provider, or any regional entity that may be created or allowed
to implement rates and tariffs for transmission or reliability related
operating services under FERC accepted tariffs and shall include any other
charges relating to the stability of the transmission system which Boston
Edison is authorized to recover from retail customers by order of the
regulatory agency having jurisdiction over such charges. However, under no
circumstances shall the amount included in these charges recover costs which
are collected by Boston Edison in some other rate or charge.
I.B.1.(c) Access Charges These charges are designed to recover
--------------
on a fully reconciling basis all of Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s stranded costs. As set
forth more fully below, the access charges for each rate class will total 3.51
cents per kilowatthour for 1998, and 3.35 cents per kilowatthour for 1999 and
2000, subject to the residual value credit as provided for in Attachment 3,
and will decline thereafter. The access charges are subject to adjustment for
various factors included in Section I.B.4, below.
I.B.1.(d) Standard Offer A standard offer for service during a
--------------
transition period is fixed on the following schedule for the period from the
Retail Access Date through December 31, 2004, subject only to the conditions
contained in Section I.B.5, and Attachment 4.
Calendar Year Average Price per kilowatthour
------------- ------------------------------
1998 2.8 cents
1999 3.1 cents
2000 3.4 cents
2001 3.8 cents
2002 4.2 cents
2003 4.7 cents
2004 5.1 cents
Together, the charges in paragraphs (a) through (d) of Section I.B.1
comply with the Attorney General's principles relating to rates and prices.
The details of each charge included in the rates and the changes to the terms
and conditions are set forth in the paragraphs below.
026
I.B.2. Distribution Charges
--------------------
The distribution charges in the retail delivery rates will become
effective on the Retail Access Date and will remain in effect through
December 31, 2000 on the following terms.
I.B.2.(a) The distribution depreciation rates approved in DPU
92-92 of 2.38% shall be increased to 2.98% as of the Retail Access Date.
I.B.2.(b) Boston Edison shall be authorized to establish a
storm fund to pay for all of the incremental costs of any major storm, which
is defined as any storm with incremental costs of over $1.0 million occurring
after the date this Settlement is approved by the Department. The storm fund
will be prefunded with $8.0 million within 30 days of Department's approval of
this Settlement. The distribution charge contains an accrual of up to $3
million per year, as set forth in Attachment 2 and Boston Edison shall begin
to accrue this amount to the storm fund on an annual basis commencing on the
date when the retail delivery rates become effective. The accrual shall
continue at up to $3.0 million per year until a modification is approved by
the Department following a filing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Boston Edison is
authorized to charge all incremental costs of major storms against the fund
and to pay or accrue interest on the fund balance whether positive or negative
in accordance with the protocols for the fund set forth in Attachment 2.
I.B.2.(c) This Settlement is based on the existing separation
of distribution and transmission facilities on the Boston Edison system.
Approval of the jurisdictional separation of facilities without change is not
a condition of the Settlement. In the event that facilities or costs are
transferred from transmission to distribution or from distribution to
transmission, the parties agree that appropriate adjustments to the
transmission and distribution components of the rates will be made to reflect
the transfer.
I.B.2.(d) By April 1 of each year, Boston Edison shall file
with the Department to adjust rates to recover or refund revenues necessary to
assure that Boston Edison's annual return on average common equity associated
with distribution operations from the prior calendar year averaged between six
percent and eleven percent before any incentives earned on demand side
programs as authorized by the Department pursuant to section III.B, below.(1)
Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s return on equity for the prior year shall be calculated using
the earnings available for common equity as reported to the Securities and
Exchange Commission in Boston Edison's annual report, to the extent such
earnings are contained in that report, as adjusted in the preceding sentence,
divided by the average of the thirteen monthly common equity balances on
Boston Edison's books for the same period. If Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s return on
equity for distribution operations is below six percent, it shall be
authorized to increase its rates by a uniform per kilowatthour surcharge
calculated to provide sufficient revenues to increase ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s return
on equity to six percent. If Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s calculated return on equity as
described above is above eleven percent, it shall be required to reduce its
rates by a uniform per kilowatthour surcharge to refund revenues necessary to
reduce the calculated return on equity between eleven and 12.5 percent by 50
percent and the earnings above 12.5 percent by 100 percent. If Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s calculated return on equity as described above falls between six and
eleven percent, then no further adjustment shall be authorized or required.
I.B.2.(e) Boston Edison shall also adjust its retail delivery
rates for the effects of any changes in the federal or state income, revenue,
sales, or franchise tax rates or laws,
[FN]
____________________
(1) Boston Edison's earnings available for common equity and common equity
balances on its distribution operations shall also be adjusted to
eliminate the effects of any writedown and to restore expenses associated
with any such writedown that may result from the implementation of
industry restructuring or this Settlement
028
or any externally imposed accounting changes, if they affect Boston Edison's
costs, by more than $1.0 million per year or any other charges under the
retail delivery rates in Attachment 1.
I.B.2.(f) The retail delivery rates in Attachment 1 include
fully reconciling charges for Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s access charges and transmission
payments. Any amount of over or under collection of the total, allowed,
access and transmission charges will be applied to all customers as a uniform
cents per kilowatthour credit or charge to the applicable access or
transmission charge.
For billing purposes the access charges shall be rolled into the
distribution rates and shall not be shown separately on bills to customers.
I.B.2.(g) The discount for the R-2 Rate that is available for
Boston Edison's low income customers is designed to reduce the total bill of
a customer taking standard offer service by 40 percent in accordance with the
Attorney General's principles. To assure that the same level of discount is
available regardless of the supplier and to allow the operation of the
reconciling access and transmission charges, the discount is applied
exclusively to the distribution component of the rate. The recovery of the
discount from Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s other customers is based on distribution rate
base in accordance with the practice in prior cases.
I.B.2.(h) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s conservation services charge and
conservation charge factors are included in the retail delivery charges in
Attachment 1, and separate Energy Conservation Service and conservation cost
factors will be discontinued on the effective date of the retail delivery
rates. Any outstanding balances, whether positive or negative, will be
accounted for as provided in section III.B of this Settlement.
I.B.2.(i) Boston Edison shall implement the performance
standards for reliability and customer satisfaction set forth in Attachment 5,
and Boston Edison shall be
required to credit customers with an amount calculated in accordance with the
schedules in Attachment 5 during the year following any year that it failed to
meet the indicated performance standard. In addition, Boston Edison shall
propose, by July 1, 1997 a performance standard for the effective management
of line losses.
I.B.3. Transmission Charges
--------------------
The transmission cost adjustment shall recover the costs charged to
Boston Edison retail customers under Boston Edison's FERC approved tariffs,
or billed to Boston Edison by any other transmission provider, and by other
regional transmission or operating entities, such as NEPOOL, a regional
transmission group ("RTG"), an independent system operator ("ISO"), or other
regional body, in the event that they are authorized to bill Boston Edison
directly for their services and shall include any other charges relating to
the stability of the transmission system which Boston Edison is authorized to
recover from retail customers by order of the regulatory agency having
jurisdiction over such charges. However, under no circumstances shall the
amount included in these charges recover costs which are collected by Boston
Edison in some other rate or charge. The transmission charges shall be
recoverable under the transmission cost adjustment provisions included in
Attachment 1.
The transmission cost adjustment shall be established annually based on
a forecast of transmission costs, and shall include a full reconciliation and
adjustment for any over or under-recoveries occurring under the prior year's
adjustment. As set forth below, the parties have agreed to support the
implementation of NEPOOL reforms, including the formation of an RTG and ISO
to the extent consistent with this Settlement. These reforms are desirable,
but are neither a condition to retail access by Boston Edison nor of the
approval of this Settlement.
I.B.4. Access Charges
--------------
030
The uniform cents per kilowatthour access charges shall be calculated in
accordance with Attachment 3 and shall remain in effect until Boston Edison
has collected all amounts subject to collection under the access charge. The
access charge shall be recoverable under the access cost adjustment provisions
included in the tariffs in Attachment 1. The access cost adjustment factor
will recover on a fully reconciling basis all of Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s stranded
investment as set forth in this Settlement.
I.B.5. Standard Offer
--------------
Consistent with the Attorney General's principles and subject to the
conditions set forth herein and in Attachment 4, Boston Edison shall arrange
to provide standard offer service through a transition period ending on
December 31, 2004, by putting it out to bid. Standard offer service shall be
available to all of Boston Edison's retail customers on the Retail Access
Date.(2) After the Retail Access Date, Boston Edison's retail customers are
free to leave the standard offer at any time to purchase from an alternative
supplier in the market; but, once the market option is selected, a retail
customer may not return to service at standard offer prices; provided,
however, that standard offer service shall be available to all residential,
G-1 or T-1 retail customers, who have previously taken service from an
alternative supplier for the first year after the Retail Access Date, if such
residential, G-1 or T-1 retail customer elects to return to standard offer
service within 90 days of first taking service from the alternative supplier.
The terms and conditions for the bids by potential suppliers for standard
offer service are set forth in Attachment 4.
In the event the standard offer can not be supplied from the bids
received in accordance with the provisions of Attachment 4, Boston Edison
shall supply the remaining standard offer
[FN]
____________________
(2) Retail customers include all customers of Boston Edison with the exception
of those customers which at the time of the approval of this Settlement
are being served by Boston Edison pursuant to contracts approved by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
requirements using the following resources, to the extent they are still
available to Boston Edison, in the order of least incremental cost to
customers:
(1) existing purchased power contracts,
(2) its fossil units, but, if sold, only to the extent that
the purchaser of the units has an obligation to supply
back up to the standard offer,
(3) Pilgrim Station, and
(4) short-term purchases at market prices.
Boston Edison's standard offer prices are guaranteed, subject to the
conditions set out in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section I.B.5.
Under the tariffs included in Attachment 1, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s charges for
standard offer service are included as a separate surcharge to the rates for
retail delivery service that apply to all retail customers. Boston Edison
shall reconcile the revenues billed to retail customers taking standard offer
service with payments to suppliers of standard offer service and recover or
refund any under or overcollections on the following terms:
I.B.5.(a) The standard offer shall be subject to the Fuel Index
set forth in Attachment 4.
I.B.5.(b) Any revenues billed by Boston Edison for standard
offer service in excess of payments to suppliers of that service shall be
accumulated in an account and credited with interest calculated using the
methodology for calculating interest on retail customer deposits specified
in Boston Edison's terms and conditions. The accumulated balance at the end
of each calendar year shall be credited to all of Boston Edison's retail
customers through a uniform cents per kilowatthour factor in the following
year.
I.B.5.(c) In the event that the revenues billed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ do not recover Boston Edison's payments to suppliers or Boston Edison
defers expenses to meet the
032
inflation cap established in Section I.B.9, Boston Edison shall be authorized
to accumulate the deficiencies in the account together with interest
calculated as above and recover those amounts by implementing a uniform cents
per kilowatthour surcharge on the rates for standard offer service, if and to
the extent that the access charges billed by Boston Edison to its retail
customers are for any reason below the unadjusted access charge listed in
Attachment 3. Under-recoveries, if any, that remain after the standard offer
transition period ends on December 31, 2004 shall be recovered from all retail
customers by a uniform surcharge not exceeding $0.005 per kilowatthour
commencing on January 1, 2005.
I.B.5.(d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Settlement, in the event the deferred costs under the standard offer at any
time accumulate to an amount in excess of $50 million, Boston Edison shall be
authorized to fully recover the amount of deferred costs in excess of $50
million by filing with the Department a standard offer surcharge. Such
standard offer surcharge will be designed to recover the deferred excess costs
forecast for the next twelve (12) months on an annual basis and shall go into
effect sixty (60) days following the filing with the Department. The
collection of deferred excess costs will be through a uniform cents per kWh
surcharge to the standard offer until such time as the amount of energy
consumed by retail customers receiving standard offer service reduces to 15
percent of the energy delivered to all retail customers. At that point, the
surcharge will be billed to all retail customers through the delivery charge.
I.B.6. Safety Net Service
------------------
In recognition that electricity is an essential service, and that there
is a risk that in a competitive market some low-income customers may be unable
to obtain or retain service on reasonable terms on account of a credit profile
that would not create a barrier to service under the
current regulated monopoly supply, Boston Edison shall arrange to provide
electric supply for low-income customers who are no longer eligible to receive
service under the standard offer and not adequately supplied by the market
because they are unable to obtain or retain electric service from competitive
power suppliers. Service under this provision shall be made available under
rates, terms and conditions approved by the Department. Boston Edison shall
fully recover the reasonable costs it incurs in arranging this service.
I.B.7. Basic Service
-------------
In recognition that retail customers may face an occasional hiatus
between competitive suppliers, and in an effort to prevent such retail
customers from losing power because they do not have a contractual
relationship with a viable supplier, Boston Edison shall facilitate the
continued delivery of power, such as by providing supply through the short-
term wholesale power market, to such retail customers and allow them to have
a reasonable opportunity to make other supply arrangements, and shall fully
recover its reasonable costs of providing such service. Such supply shall be
provided on terms and conditions approved by the Department.
I.B.8. Terms and Conditions
--------------------
On July 1, 1997, Boston Edison shall file with the Department for its
approval retail customer terms and conditions and supplier terms and
conditions and settlement procedures modified to reflect the changes in Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s operations after the Retail Access Date. These filings are not a
condition of the Settlement.
I.B.9. Inflation Cap for Standard Offer Customers
------------------------------------------
Boston Edison shall assure that the economic value of the ten percent
rate reduction for retail customers is maintained through the period of the
standard offer by capping average revenues per kilowatthour for retail
delivery service plus the standard offer, adjusted to exclude
034
the effect of: (1) the fuel price index in Attachment 4 and the standard
offer deferral cap in Section I.B.5.(d); (2) any adjustments caused by the
return on equity floor under Section I.B.2(d); and (3) changes in tax laws or
accounting under Section I.B.2(e), at the rates in Attachment 1 adjusted for
percentage changes in the Consumer Price Index occurring between October 1,
1996 and the effective date of any adjustment to the standard offer price
under Section I.B.1(d). This calculation shall be performed annually in
conjunction with the annual update to the access charge pursuant to the
provisions of Section V.E.
I.C. Right to File for Rate Change in the Event that Retail Access
-------------------------------------------------------------
Date Postponed
--------------
Nothing in this Settlement shall prevent the parties from seeking a rate
change to become effective, after suspension, on January 1, 2001 in the event
that the Retail Access Date has not occurred by that time.
II. Benefits of Competition Extended to All Retail Customers
--------------------------------------------------------
The Attorney General's principles require utilities to extend the
benefits of competition to all retail customers. This Settlement achieves
that requirement by providing all retail customers with the opportunity to
choose alternative suppliers on the Retail Access Date and by guaranteeing
significant rate reductions for retail customers who take standard offer
service prior to choosing an alternative supplier under the ratemaking portion
of this Settlement. Specifically, the parties agree that Boston Edison shall
implement retail access on the following terms:
II.A. Prior Commitments with Retail Customers
---------------------------------------
Prior commitments under Boston Edison's retail rates or contracts will
be treated as follows:
II.A.1. Notice Provisions in Boston Edison's Tariffs
--------------------------------------------
Boston Edison's General Service rate tariffs include a provision
requiring all customers to provide one year's prior written notice before
purchasing from an alternative source or installing additional on-site
generation capacity for the customer's own use. After the Retail Access Date,
Boston Edison shall waive this notice requirement for purchases from
alternative suppliers under the terms of Boston Edison's retail delivery rates
included in Attachment 1. Nothing in this Settlement shall require Boston
Edison to waive the advance written notice required before the retail customer
may install additional on-site, non-emergency generation for its own use or to
allow bypass of Boston Edison's distribution system.
II.A.2. Special Retail Contracts
------------------------
036
Retail customers receiving service under special contracts approved by
the Department are not eligible for standard offer service. However, Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇ will waive the notice provisions contained in any special contracts
with retail customers so long as the customer continues to take delivery
services, which include access and transmission charges, from Boston Edison
under a delivery rate approved by the Department and applicable to the
customer. Nothing in this Settlement shall require Boston Edison to waive
the advance written notice required before the retail customer may install
additional on-site, non-emergency generation for its own use or to allow
bypass of Boston Edison's distribution system.
II.A.3. Conservation and Load Management Program Terms and Conditions
-------------------------------------------------------------
Many of Boston Edison's nonresidential retail customers have participated
in Boston Edison's conservation and load management programs that require
repayment of Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s incentive payments if the customer purchases
electricity from an alternative supplier. Boston Edison shall waive this
repayment obligation insofar as it would limit the customer's ability to
purchase electricity from an alternative supplier. Nothing in this Settlement
shall require Boston Edison to waive the requirement for repayment before the
retail customer may install on-site, non-emergency generation for its own use
or to allow bypass of Boston Edison's distribution system.
II.B. Implementation of Retail Access
-------------------------------
This Settlement requires Boston Edison to provide retail access and to
implement the retail delivery rates in Attachment 1 on the Retail Access Date,
which is the later of January 1, 1998 or the date on which retail access is
made available to all retail customers of the investor-owned utilities in
Massachusetts. Under this Settlement, this condition will be achieved when
legislation, final regulatory or court action, or unchallenged settlements
approved by the Department in a final order with all other investor-owned
utilities in Massachusetts are in place.
In the event that retail access is not yet available to all retail customers
of investor-owned utilities in Massachusetts by January 1, 1998, Boston Edison
in its sole discretion, on or after that date, shall have the option to file
for the Department's approval to accelerate the Retail Access Date under this
Settlement, implement retail access for its retail customers, and make the
tariffs in Attachment 1 effective by providing the Department and the parties
with 90 days advance notice in writing.
III. Protect the Environment and Promote Conservation
------------------------------------------------
The third element of the Attorney General's plan requires the
restructuring plans of utilities to protect the environment and to promote
conservation. This Settlement complies with these requirements by limiting
emissions from Boston Edison's units, and by continuing funding for demand
side programs including clean renewable resources. The parties have agreed
to the following terms:
III.A. Emissions Reductions
--------------------
Boston Edison or its successors in interest shall achieve the level of
emissions of NOx and S02 from its New Boston Units 1 and 2 and its Mystic
Station Units 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the schedule and terms set forth in Attachment
6. Nothing in this Settlement shall affect Boston Edison's obligations to
comply with environmental regulations lawfully imposed or to restrict the
environmental regulators' authority to impose new environmental standards.
III.B. Conservation and Load Management and Renewables
-----------------------------------------------
By September 1, 1997, or a subsequent date ordered by the Department,
Boston Edison shall develop in a collaborative process and shall file with
the Department plans to implement the budgets for demand side programs and
clean renewables for the period 1998 through 2001 in the
038
amount of $54.2 million per year.(3) At least 15 percent of the amount
budgeted for residential programs in any given year shall be spent on low
income residential programs. Funds shall be allocated within the budget to
commercialize and develop fuel cells and a diverse group of clean renewables
in a manner approved by the Department, with collaborative input, based on
the following table:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1998 1999 2000 2001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
IRM $1.6 $14.2 $13.9 $1.6
New DSM $26.1 $19.1 $22.4 $30.8
Subtotal $27.7 $33.3 $36.3 $32.4
Amortizations $15.9 $6.7 $0.0 $0.0
Existing Commitments $7.3 $6.9 $6.6 $5.0
Renewables(4) $3.3 $7.3 $11.3 $16.8
TOTAL $54.2 $54.2 $54.2 $54.2
Overcollection of conservation charges in 1996 and 1997 shall be used as part
of the funding for support of the DSM budgets set out in the Table above
rather than to reduce conservation charges through the full reconciliation.
However, to the extent the overcollection for 1997 differs from Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s current projection of $10 million, that difference will carry over
into 1998
[FN]
____________________
(3) These dollar totals will not vary whether or not the retail access date
occurs on January 1, 1998.
(4) These renewables dollar amounts will not vary with usage but are
equivalent to the ▇▇▇▇▇/kWh amounts (ranging from .25 ▇▇▇▇▇ in 1998,
.55 ▇▇▇▇▇ in 1999, .85 ▇▇▇▇▇ in 2000, and 1.25 ▇▇▇▇▇ in 2001) set forth
in settlement approved by the Department in D.P.U. 96-25.
to adjust the amounts shown on the table above for IRM or new DSM.(5) Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇ will continue collecting the 1997 conservation charge at 1996 levels
and will not file a new conservation charge for implementation in 1997.
During any year after 1997, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall reconcile actual spending and
earned incentive to the approved budget, with separate reconciliations for
renewables and DSM, and shall carry forward any balance, positive or negative,
into the following year through an adjustment to the approved budget. The
parties agree to work collaboratively to ensure that actual expenditures
deviate from the above table as little as possible. Boston Edison shall not
allow DSM spending to fall short of budget by more than ten percent in the
aggregate for all IRM and new DSM programs, in any two consecutive years from
1998-2001. If spending for DSM falls below that level, Boston Edison and
members of the DSM collaborative shall file separate or joint reports to the
Department explaining the reasons the budget levels were not achieved. If
the Retail Access Date does not occur on January 1, 1998, the fully
reconciling conservation charge shall recommence on January 1, 1998 and shall
remain in effect until the Retail Access Date. Boston Edison commits to use
its best efforts to execute with entities other than Boston Edison all pending
IRM DSM contracts within thirty (30) days of the filing of this Settlement
with the Department.
The budgets shall also include expenditures for support of a
collaborative effort regarding energy efficiency and renewables, the energy
conservation service ("ECS") program, Boston Edison's demand side and market
transformation programs, overhead costs,(6) recovery of amortized investment
and the incentive earned from programs implemented prior to the Retail
[FN]
____________________
(5) For example, if the 1997 overcollection is $11 million instead of $10
million, the 1998 subtotal for IRM and new DSM would be $28.7 million
instead of $27.7 million.
(6) DSM overhead costs shall be allocated among IRM and new DSM, pro rata
based on dollars.
040
Access Date and the new incentive(7) to be earned on the demand side programs
implemented after the Retail Access Date pursuant to this paragraph. Boston
Edison shall also propose to include in its DSM budget reasonable levels for
conservation voltage regulation initiatives and the installation of
sophisticated metering and control systems as presented at least thirty (30)
days prior to filing to stakeholders in a DSM collaborative as provided for
in the Department's December 30, 1996 order in D.P.U. 96-100, at, p.190, and
subject to Department approval. Within thirty (30) days of the Department's
approval of this Settlement, Boston Edison will pay $350,000 from conservation
charge overcollections relating to periods prior to 1998 to the DSM Transition
Funding Board.(8) This money will be used beginning in 1997 to support
collaborative research on market transformation and other conservation issues.
In addition Boston Edison will provide funding for the DSM spending levels in
1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 provided for in this Settlement. In return for
foregoing future lost base revenues and lost delivery revenues, a new
incentive for DSM implementation which reduces administrative costs, will
begin in 1998. The incentive will be a flat dollar amount reflecting
performance against a specified standard and lost revenue. The Company shall
earn an annual incentive of $4 million if the projected kWh savings are found
by the Department to exceed a threshold of 90%, $3 million per year if the
Department finds that the achievement is between 70 and 90 percent of the
projected amounts, $1 million if the Department finds that the achievement is
between 50% and 70%, and the Company shall receive no incentive payments if
the Department finds that the kWh savings achieved are below
[FN]
____________________
(7) The new DSM incentives shall be fairly allocated among IRM and new DSM.
(8) The fund shall be administered by the DSM Transition Funding Board which
shall consist of signatories to this Settlement that are interested in
the development and implementation of the DSM and renewables plans. The
DSM Transition Funding Board shall provide a full accounting of these
expenditures to both the Department and all of its members.
50%. The parties recognize that performance measures may need to be revised
to reflect changes during the transition, and will work with the Department
to revise such measures if needed.
The parties to this Settlement will work together to develop streamlined
DSM reporting and reconciliation processes in order to reduce administrative
burdens and costs. This streamlined process shall be designed so that it will
not in any way limit the ability of the Department to review DSM expenditures.
The filing of any streamlining plan will be completed and filed in conjunction
with the September 1, 1997 DSM plan.
While the Department will decide the appropriate level for ongoing
conservation, load management and renewables funding after January 1, 2002,
Boston Edison, the Attorney General, and the Division of Energy Resources
jointly recommend that evaluation of funding after this date be informed by
review of the then current market barriers and experience gained with the
competitive energy markets and customer choice established in this Settlement;
and should further be based upon environmental and economic goals to be
achieved by such funding established by the Department through appropriate
proceedings. Ongoing commercialization support for fuel cells and clean
renewable technologies beyond January 1, 2002 should also be based on a goal
of supplying at least four percent of Massachusetts' electricity kilowatthour
sales from such new, clean technologies by the end of 2007.
Generation technologies potentially eligible for commercialization
support, subject to Department review, shall include a diverse group of low
and zero emissions generation technologies with substantial long-term, cost-
effective regional production potential which utilize any of the following:
a) solar photovoltaic and solar thermal electric energy;
b) wind energy;
42
c) ocean thermal, wave and/or tidal energy;
d) fuel cells;
e) landfill gas; and
f) low emission advanced biomass power conversion technologies like
gasification using such biomass fuels as wood, agricultural, or food wastes;
energy crops, biogas, or organic refuse-derived fuel.
While the Department will decide how funds shall be allocated based on
input from a collaborative process, the commercialization of clean generating
technologies should be accomplished in a least cost manner. Optimal use
should be made of competitive bidding in funding commercialization activities.
Commercialization activities shall also attempt to promote as diverse a group
of clean technologies as is practical and ensure no single resource or
technology dominates commercialization efforts.
Boston Edison will perform pilot projects approved by the Department
to assess the value of distributed clean generation, conservation and load
management technologies in reducing or avoiding distribution system costs.
Operational procedures to invest in clean distributed generation and
geographically-targeted DSM that lower distribution service costs should be
implemented as soon as is practical.
Clean distributed generation of 30 kilowatts or less to include fuel
cells, renewables and small scale cogeneration shall remain eligible for "net
metering" as provided for in existing Department regulations regarding the
buy-back of generated power at the retail rate.
IV. Protect Low Income Customers
----------------------------
The fourth principle in the Attorney General's plan focuses on the
continued protection of low income customers. Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s plan complies
with this principle by continuing the
discount for Rate R-2 customers, assuring that all customers receive immediate
rate reductions through standard offer service, providing safety net service
for low-income customers that have no other alternative supplier (see Section
I.B.6., above), and funding the residential low income demand side programs
in Section III.B. In addition, Boston Edison shall implement a program to
protect against redlining by market suppliers by paying market suppliers of
Rate R-2 customers directly for electricity delivered up to the prices for
standard offer service set forth in section I.B.1.(d) and then including the
costs of such service in Boston Edison's distribution bill to Rate R-2
customers. In this way, Boston Edison, rather than the market supplier,
shall assume the risk of nonpayment from Rate R-2 customers.
Electric service is essential and should be available to all retail
customers. The restructured electricity industry should provide adequate
safeguards to assure universal service. Programs and mechanisms that enable
residential customers with low incomes to manage and afford essential
electricity requirements will be maintained throughout the period of the
Settlement in order to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ the goal of universal service.
V. Create a Fully Functioning Stable and Reliable Structure for the
----------------------------------------------------------------
Competitive Market
------------------
The Attorney General's final principle focuses on the institutional
structure and protections necessary to prevent unfair and anti-competitive
conduct, and to maintain reliable and safe electricity supplies. These
industry structure issues focus on the region as a whole and the corporate
structure of Boston Edison.
V.A. Regional Reform
---------------
The regional issues center on the formation of a regional transmission
group, an independent system operator and NEPOOL reform. Boston Edison
supports the Restructuring Proposal filed by NEPOOL with the FERC on
December 31, 1996. Boston Edison shall continue
044
to support at a minimum, the regional reforms set forth in those filings,
and shall consult with the parties to this Settlement to develop mutually
agreeable approaches to these issues that are consistent with the terms of
this Settlement. However, this Settlement is not conditional upon the
adoption, approval, or implementation of the regional reforms included in
those dockets. Nothing in this Settlement shall limit the parties from
advocating positions other than those in the above referenced FERC Dockets.
V.B. The Jurisdictional Separation Between Transmission and
------------------------------------------------------
Distribution
------------
In Order 888, FERC set forth a seven factor test for determining whether
facilities used to provide access to retail customers are subject to the
ratemaking jurisdiction of FERC under the Federal Power Act or of the
Department under state law. Attachment 7 provides a specific evaluation of
▇▇▇▇'s seven factors as applied to the separation of Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
facilities. Approval of the jurisdictional separation of facilities without
change is not a condition of this Settlement.
V.C. Generation
----------
This section contains Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s commitments with respect to the
continued operation, shutdown, or divestiture of Boston Edison's existing
generation business. Subsection 1 addresses the commitment to divest Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s fossil generation business. Subsection 2 addresses commitments with
respect to Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station ("Pilgrim"). Subsection 3 addresses
commitments with respect to power purchase contracts. Subsection 4 addresses
actions taken prior to the Retail Access Date.
Consistent with the restructuring plan advanced by the Division of Energy
Resources, Boston Edison agrees, subject to the receipt of all required
governmental approvals, to sell, spin off, or otherwise transfer ownership
of its generating business and facilities to a nonaffiliated
entity or entities, other than properties, assets, and entitlements classified
to the transmission function and except as provided in section V.C.2.(b) and
subject to the provisions of section V.C.3 of this Settlement.
V.C.1. Generation Divestiture
----------------------
By the later of May 1, 1997 or ten (10) days after filing this Settlement
with the Department, Boston Edison shall develop and file for informational
purposes only a plan with the Department to implement divestiture of its
generating business assets, except as provided for in section V.C.2(b), and
subject to the provision of section V.C.3, below. This plan shall include in
particularized detail the fossil generating business to be divested and all
properties, assets, and entitlements to be included in the divestiture. The
plan also shall include specific terms and conditions to be included in the
RFP which are necessary to assure adequate support for the Boston Edison
distribution system. In addition, the plan shall include a draft of Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Request for Proposals for Standard Offer Service.
Within ten (10) days after signing a sale agreement related to any
generating business asset, Boston Edison will file said agreement with the
Department for approval. The Department shall review each such agreement and
shall issue a final order on the method of sale and the reasonableness of the
proceeds and commitments within seventy-five (75) days of filing such
agreement with the Department. The divestiture shall be completed by six
months after the later of the Retail Access Date or the receipt of all
governmental approvals necessary for the transfer. If, for any reason, the
divestiture is not completed within three years following the Retail Access
Date, Boston Edison shall file a report with the Department explaining the
delay.
Within three months after the completion of the divestiture and provided
the Retail Access Date has occurred, Boston Edison shall implement a residual
value credit as a direct offset to the
046
access charge authorized under this Settlement. The residual value credit
shall be calculated as set forth in Section 1.0 of Attachment 3 to this
Settlement. On the first day of the month following implementation of the
residual value credit mechanism, the access charge shall be adjusted to
reflect the residual value credit in accordance with Section 1.4 of Attachment
3 to this Settlement.
V.C.2. Pilgrim Station
---------------
V.C.2.(a) Continued Operation Following the Retail Access Date, for
-------------------
such period as Pilgrim shall continue to operate, the following provisions
shall apply.
V.C.2.(a).i Unrecovered net book value of plant, decommissioning costs,
certain fixed operating costs, Post-Shutdown Costs payments in lieu of
property taxes, employee severance and retraining, and damages, costs and net
recoveries from claims shall be collected and applied in accordance with the
methodology set forth in Attachment 3.
V.C.2.(a).ii Through December 31, 2000, performance based rates shall be
in effect as set forth in Attachment 3.
V.C.2.(b) Divestiture There is no requirement to divest Pilgrim as
-----------
part of this Settlement. However, Boston Edison shall file for approval by
the Department a market valuation plan on or before January 1, 1999.
Valuation under this plan shall be completed on or before December 31, 2002.
Boston Edison shall implement, within three months after the valuation is
completed, a residual value credit which shall be reflected in the access
charge on the first day of the month following implementation of such
residual value credit in accordance with Section 1.5 of Attachment 3 of
this Settlement. Subject to the prior receipt of approvals by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission and the Department, Boston Edison may assign or retain
responsibilities for certain activities such as decommissioning, premature
decommissioning or fixed operating
costs and may either retain or assign the associated funds and or funds flow
as part of any sales agreement.
V.C.2.(c) Shutdown If at any time either before or after the Retail
--------
Access Date, Boston Edison notifies the Department that Boston Edison has
decided to permanently shut down Pilgrim Station, Boston Edison will be
allowed to recover the various categories of costs through the access charge
and/or the reconciliation account as set forth in Attachment 3.
V.C.3. Power Purchase Contracts
------------------------
V.C.3.(a) Boston Edison will endeavor to sell, assign or otherwise
dispose of its purchased power contracts on terms that will assign ongoing
contract payments to a nonaffiliated third party.
V.C.3.(b) By July 1, 1998, Boston Edison shall file a plan describing
the actions the Company intends to take to sell, assign or otherwise dispose
of its purchased power contracts. Such plan shall include a description of
options which were considered and milestones for implementing the proposed
plan.
V.C.3(c) To provide for any potential shortfall in power available
to supply the standard offer, and in recognition of the continued availability
of power from Boston ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s independent purchased power contract suppliers,
if any contract is sold before the standard offer bid or if the standard offer
is not fully subscribed, any sale, assignment, or disposition of such
contracts shall include a stipulation that they be available to back up the
standard offer. To the extent that the contracts are not required to meet the
standard offer, the aforementioned stipulation shall not apply. In the event
that such contracts cannot be sold, assigned, or otherwise disposed of, and
such power is not used to provide standard offer service as provided for in
section I.B.5 of this Settlement, the power purchased from those contracts
shall be sold and the
048
contract payments and market value associated with the sale shall be reflected
in the reconciliation account. Such power sales, if any, shall only be made
in the wholesale market to nonaffiliates. Nothing in this Settlement shall
affect the rights of suppliers or Boston Edison under purchased power
contracts.
V.C.4. Sale or Shutdown Prior to Retail Access Date
--------------------------------------------
If Boston Edison sells, spins off, or otherwise transfers an interest in
any or all of its generating facilities or its power purchase contracts prior
to the Retail Access Date, any resulting proceeds shall accrue carrying costs
at the same rate as shown on Schedule 1, page 14, used to calculate the return
on investment cost in the Attachment 3 from the date the proceeds are received
by Boston Edison to the Retail Access Date. This carrying cost will be added
to the total proceeds component of the Residual Value Credit of the Access
Charge (Attachment 3, Paragraphs 1.4 and 1.5), which becomes effective at the
Retail Access Date.
If Boston Edison sells, spins off, otherwise transfers or shuts down any
or all of its fossil or nuclear plants and facilities or its power purchase
contracts prior to the Retail Access Date ("Facilities Transactions"),
reasonable replacement power costs, including any short term bridging type
power contracts sold with the plant will be recovered through the fuel clause.
Any fuel charge recovery of replacement power costs will be net of the
reductions in non-capital operating costs resulting from the sale, spin off,
transfer or shut down. ("Recoverable Replacement Power Costs").
Boston Edison's fuel clause recovery of Recoverable Replacement Power
Costs will be no higher than the costs customers would have paid under the
fuel and purchased power clause had the Facilities Transactions contemplated
by this Section not occurred. Boston Edison agrees, that
as part of its fuel charge filings,(9) it will provide a calculation making
such a showing. Any such Recoverable Replacement Power Costs found to be
reasonable and in excess of what retail customers otherwise would have
incurred shall be deferred with a carrying charge at the same rate defined in
Attachment 3, Schedule 1, page 14, used to calculate the return on investment
and be recovered over a three year period beginning in the year 2001 in the
Reconciliation Account.
V.C.5. Voluntary Act
-------------
The Department and intervenors have expressed the goals of attaining a
market valuation of utility stranded costs and creating a competitive market
for supplying electricity to consumers. The Department has expressed a
preference for voluntary divestiture of utility generation as a means of
achieving these goals. The Department has stated that it "has the authority
to approve the voluntary divestiture of assets", but that it has "no explicit
statutory authority [to] order divestiture, nor is it likely to be implied."
(D.P.U. 95-30, August 16, 1995). Boston Edison has asserted that the
Department lacks authority to order divestiture, and would contest any effort
by the Department to do so. Boston Edison has agreed, as part of this
Settlement, voluntarily to undertake such divestiture. In exchange, and as
consideration for this voluntary divestiture, the parties to this Settlement,
and the Department by its approval of this Settlement, agree that Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s access charges as set forth in Attachment 3 are just and reasonable.
Accordingly, and to give effect to the reliance placed by the parties on the
foregoing, the Department shall treat the findings that such recovery and
access charges are just and reasonable as a final determination made after
public notice and a full investigation of the merits, and, in any future
proceeding brought by any person or party, or by the Department on its own
motion, shall
[FN]
____________________
(9) In the event the current provision of ▇.▇. ▇. 164, 94G, are no longer in
effect, the parties agree that, in the absence of legislative direction
to the contrary, recovery of replacement energy and capacity costs under
this Section shall be governed by the principles and standard of review
applied under the current terms of 94G.
050
accord such finding the full benefit of policies of repose including, without
limitation, the application of the doctrines of res judicata, collateral
estoppel, the filed rate doctrine, the prohibition against retroactive
ratemaking, and the finality of contracts, it being the express intention of
the parties to prevent, as a matter of law and policy, the Department or any
other authority from: (a) revisiting the issue of the justness and
reasonableness of the stranded investment and the access charges or
(b) reducing, other than as set forth in Attachment 3 the amount of the
access charges, or (c) otherwise limiting the right of Boston Edison, its
successors or assigns, to charge and recover its stranded costs or the access
charges set forth in this Settlement for any reason prior to their recovery
in full as contemplated by this Settlement.
V.C.6. Exempt Wholesale Generator Status
---------------------------------
To facilitate the divestiture and valuation of Boston Edison units, the
parties agree that it is in the public interest for Boston Edison or its
successors or assigns to be authorized to sell electricity at market prices
in the wholesale markets, and that Boston Edison or its successors or assigns
shall be free to apply to become an exempt wholesale generator pursuant to
Section 32 of the Public Utilities Holding Company Act of 1935 and other
Federal law, rules and regulations, and to designate each and every generating
facility and entitlement it owns as an eligible facility pursuant to that
statute. Approval of the Settlement by the Department shall represent express
finding by the Department that it has sufficient regulatory authority,
resources, and access to books and records to exercise its duties, and that
the full participation of Boston Edison in the market and the designation of
each of its facilities as eligible facilities will benefit consumers, is
consistent with existing state laws, will not provide unfair competitive
advantage by virtue of its status as a facility owned or formerly owned by
Boston Edison, and is in the public interest.
Nothing in this Settlement shall prevent an affiliate of Boston Edison
from re-entering the generation business following the completion of
divestiture, and nothing in this Settlement shall prevent affiliates of Boston
Edison from marketing electricity, other energy sources, or energy services
to customers within or outside Boston Edison's service territory, provided
Boston Edison functionally unbundles as described by the Department in D.P.U.
96-100.
V.D. Additional Funding of Boston Energy Technology Group
----------------------------------------------------
As part of this Settlement, the parties agree they will support Boston
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s request to increase its investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary
Boston Energy Technology Group by up to $150 million in addition to the $45
million presently authorized. Boston Edison is not seeking
052
resolution of any transfer pricing issues which may arise in connection with
the transfer of assets to any subsidiary.
V.E. Annual Updates of the Access Charge
-----------------------------------
Each year by November 1, Boston Edison will file with the Department a
proposed access charge to become effective on January 1 of the following year
("Annual Update Filing"). This filing will include all of the calculations
required by Attachment 3 to this Settlement. These calculations will to the
extent reasonably possible be made using the actual costs through September 30
of the current year, forecast costs for the period of October 1 through
December 31 of the current year and reconciliations of any differences between
forecast amounts used in prior years to set the prior year's access charge and
actual costs for those same period.
V.F. Resolution of Disputes
----------------------
As provided in Section V.E, above, Boston Edison shall make an Annual
Update Filing. It is intended that disputes pertaining to the Annual Update
Filing are, to the extent reasonably possible, to be resolved informally. In
order to facilitate such resolution, Boston Edison shall provide the
signatories to this Settlement a preliminary copy of the Annual Update Filing
at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such filing. The parties agree
to review such preliminary filing as necessary and thereafter to confer,
exchange information and engage in good faith efforts to resolve any issues
that may arise concerning such filing.
V.G. No Waiver Provision
-------------------
If, as the result of the informal dispute resolution process described in
Section V.F above or as part of the Department's review of the Annual Update
Filing contemplated by Section V.E, above, any party to this Settlement
determines that either the then current residual value credit, a previous
residual value credit or the then current variable component of the access
charge or a
previous variable component of the access charge was calculated incorrectly
or otherwise inappropriately included or excluded items from the calculation,
an adjustment reflecting the correction for any prior and prospective period
shall be made in the next Annual Update Filing. However, such an adjustment
shall be made only and to the extent the parties, as part of the informal
dispute resolution process described in Section V.F, above, agree to make such
adjustment; or, if agreement cannot be reached, the Department orders the
adjustment to be made as part of its review of the Annual Update Filing. Any
adjustments to the residual value credit or variable component of the access
charge resulting from this Section V.G shall not be subject to a claim by any
party to this Settlement that such an adjustment constitutes retroactive
ratemaking.
VI. Miscellaneous Provisions
------------------------
VI.A. Boston Edison shall adopt the standards of conduct which were
adopted by the Department in D.P.U. 96-44.
VI.B. Minimum residential customer service safeguards and protections
for consumers in their dealings with competitive power suppliers, as provided
by statute or the rules of the Department, should be maintained.
VI.C. Effective January 1, 2000, Boston Edison shall file with the
Department a proposal to unbundle distribution services that can be provided
competitively, without impairing system reliability or other system benefits.
VI.D. The rights conferred and obligations imposed on any signatory by
this Settlement shall be binding on or inure to the benefit of their
successors in interest or assignees, as if such successor or assignee was
itself a signatory hereto.
054
VI.E. This Settlement is the product of settlement negotiations. The
content of those negotiations shall be privileged and all offers of settlement
shall be without prejudice to the position of any party or participant
presenting such offer.
VI.F. Except as expressly set forth above, this Settlement is submitted
on the conditions that it be approved in full by the Department and on the
further conditions that if the Department does not approve the Settlement in
its entirety, the Settlement shall be deemed withdrawn and shall not
constitute a part of the record in any proceeding or used for any purpose.
VI.G. Acceptance of this Settlement by the Department shall not be
deemed to restrain the Department's exercise of its authority to promulgate
future orders, regulations or rules which resolve similar matters affecting
other parties in a different fashion, provided, however, that approval of
this Settlement by the Department shall represent an express grant by the
Department of a waiver for Boston Edison of any rule, requirement or
regulation promulgated by the Department under existing statutes as part of
its proceeding on utility restructuring that is inconsistent with the terms
of this Settlement. Nor shall this Settlement be deemed to restrain the
authority of the General Court to enact any law which would resolve the
matters addressed in this Settlement in a different fashion.
VI.H. Neither the terms of this Settlement nor its approval by the
Department shall in any way prevent, constrain or otherwise limit the parties
hereto or the Department from taking any position, making any argument, or
reaching any determination with regard to the corporation reorganization plan
pending before the Department in D.P.U. 97-63 (or any other similar plan), to
any sale, transfer, or use of utility assets/employees/goodwill by or to any
affiliate, and/or to the appropriate ratemaking treatment/recognition to be
applied with regard to any such sale, transfer, or use.
VI.I. The Department's approval of this Settlement shall endure so
long as is necessary to fulfill this Settlement's objectives. In the event
of future regulatory actions other than actions required by legislative
actions taken prior to the Retail Access Date, or legislative actions after
the Retail Access Date, which may render any part of this Settlement
ineffective, Boston Edison shall nevertheless be held harmless and made whole
through rates to Boston Edison retail customers.
VI.J. The rate of return provisions of this Agreement relate to certain
components of the revenue recovery subject to the adjustments and for the
specific purposes herein specified. Those provisions are not intended to
represent an agreement as to an allowed return as determined in a retail rate
case, they do not establish precedent for future proceedings, and they are
binding only with respect to the parties to the Agreement with respect to the
matters set forth in the Agreement.
Signed and agreed to by each of the following parties.

The first step in developing the rate designs for 1998 was to select
those class billing determinants (number of bills, monthly demands and monthly
on- and off-peak energy consumption) against which to design. Boston Edison
has chosen actual consumption for the year 1995 as the test year. These were
the billing determinants used in our February, 1996 filing with the Department
and have been the basis for the settlement negotiations with the Attorney
General (AG) and the Department of Energy Resources (DOER). From these
billing determinants, we calculated the annual revenues that would be
collected using the base rates which took effect in November, 1994 and the
periodically adjusted charges which were in effect in November, 1996.
Specifically the levels of those adjusted charges were: Fuel and Purchased
Power -- 3.709 cents/KWH; New Performance Adjustment Clause (NPAC) -- 0.481
cents/KWH; Conservation Service Charge -- $0.15 per bill; and Conservation
(DSM) Charges -- R1/R3/R4 - 0.249 cents/KWH, G1/T1 - 0.354 cents/KWH, G2/T2 -
0.381 cents/KWH, and G3 - .0.403 cents/KWH. The revenue levels determined
using these billing determinants and rates were then reduce by 10% for each
class in order to establish the class revenue targets for 1998.
In addition to the class revenue neutrality requirement, the more
stringent criterion of a 10% discount for each and every customer was also
imposed. In essence, this criterion means that the Distribution,
Transmission, Access and Generation components for each class must sum to 90%
of the current Customer, Demand and Energy Charges; i.e., if the current
Customer Charge is $7.15 per bill, then whatever pieces of the Distribution,
Transmission, Access and Generation costs which are collected through a fixed
monthly charge must equal $7.15 time 0.9, or $6.43, in total and likewise with
Demand and Energy related collections.
The Standard Offer for 1998 was set at the negotiated level of 2.8 cents/
KWH.
The NPAC, Conservation Service, and Conservation charges will disappear
as separate charges in 1998 and will become part of the Distribution
collections.
The Transmission Charge is determined from the rate established, reviewed
and accepted by FERC and has been translated into a unit rate of 0.25 cents/
KWH. For the purposes of this Settlement only, the total dollar value
allocated to the various rate classes was developed using the allocation
factors from the February, 1996 DPU filing.

The negotiated Access Charge for 1998 is a unit rate of 3.51 cents/KWH.
This rate has been applied uniformly to all customer classes.
The above process sets the total dollar revenues for the Transmission,
Access, and Generation Charges. The only remaining component, Distribution,
is the difference between the 1998 target revenue levels and the sum of the
revenues from the above specified components.
The total dollars for each of the components described above are then
assigned to the Customer, Demand and Energy collection buckets. The
philosophy behind this assignment is to collect the Distribution and
Transmission Charges from the more fixed Customer and Demand Charges and to
collect the Access Charges mostly through the Energy Charges. The general
procedure followed is to assign as much of the Distribution Charges to the
Customer Charge as that Customer Charge is targeted to collect. Then, if the
rate has a Demand Charge, the Transmission Charges are assigned to equal the
target collections of the Demand Charge. If more revenues are needed to
satisfy the target collections from the Demand Charges, then any revenues from
the Distribution Charges left after removing the Customer collected charges
are applied to the Demand collections. If more Demand revenues are needed
after using all Distribution revenues, the Access revenues are applied until
the Demand revenues are equal to target collections. If there is no Demand
Charge in a given rate or if there are remaining Distribution revenues
available after satisfying the Demand requirement, the remaining Distribution
revenues are assigned to the Energy Charge. Likewise any remaining Access
revenues are assigned to the Energy Charges.
Although the Distribution and Access components will be separately
identified on the tariff sheets, they will be combined into a single line on
the customer's bills.
We have prepared an example to better explain the process. Please refer
to the following two page table for the development of the G3 unbundled rate.
The first page calculates the 1998 target revenue level for the G3 class
using the 1995 billing determinants, the base rates which have been in effect
since November, 1995, the periodically adjusted charges at their November,
1996 levels and the adjustment factor of 0.8999244, which is the ratio of the
1998 average cent per KWH to that of the baseline

period. It also shows how much money is being collected based on number of
bills, KW demands, and KWH energy consumption (the Customer, Demand and Energy
collections or revenues respectively). The second page shows the derivation
of the various components. First the revenues from the allocated, FERC
approved transmission rates are input ($6,153,090.09) and the Access revenues
are calculated using the 3.51 cents/KWH value and the 2,707,411,279 KWH of
annual energy consumption ($95,030,135.89). Similarly to the Access revenues,
the Generation revenues (labeled "Fuel") are calculated using the 2.8 cents/
KWH Standard Offer rate and the same energy consumption. All of these total
dollars are subtracted from the target revenue level calculated on the first
page, leaving a Distribution amount of $59,715,672.12.
Since the Distribution collections greatly exceed the allowable
collection through the Customer Charge, only $1,268,783.09 of the Distribution
revenues are assigned to the Customer Charge, requiring the other
approximately $58.5 million of Distribution revenues to be collected through
another component of the rate. On the other hand, the allowed Transmission
revenues is much smaller than the target collection through the Demand
Charges. Therefore all of the Transmission revenues are assigned to the
Demand component. The Transmission related rate is derived by dividing the
total Transmission revenues by the total KW billing demands
($6,153,090.09/6,036,921). The Distribution revenues in excess of the
Customer Charge collections are assigned to the Demand Charges and are
calculated by dividing the Demand-related Distribution revenues by the total
Demand revenues and multiplying the quotient by the summer and winter Demand
Rates respectively. This produces time differentiated Distribution rates.
There are still additional collections required from the Demand Charges and so
a portion of the Access revenues is assigned to the Demand Charges to make up
the shortfall to the target Demand rates.
The remaining Access collections are assigned to the Energy Charges.
Basically this occurs by subtracting the Standard Offer and any Distribution
and Transmission rates from the target energy rates shown on the first page.
For example, the winter on-peak target energy charge is 6.0371 cents/KWH while
the other rates are respectively 2.8 cents/KWH for the Standard Offer and
0.000 cents/KWH for both Distribution and Transmission. This leaves a value
of 3.571 cents/KWH for the Access Charge during winter on-peak periods.
The rate unbundling for all the classes has been handled in a similar
fashion except for G1, G2 and T1 where this procedure produced negative
access charges. For these classes, time-varying transmission charges were
implemented to eliminate the negative access charges

STANDARD OFFER
--------------
AVAILABILITY
Standard Offer Service is available under this tariff for existing or new
Customers who have not yet chosen a supplier other than the Company on or
after the retail access date, when retail choice becomes available to all
customers. After the Retail Access Date customers are free to leave the
Standard Offer at any time to purchase from an alternative supplier. However,
once the market option is selected, a customer may not return to service at
Standard Offer prices. The only exception is during the first year after the
Retail Access Date, when all Rate R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, T-1, and G-1 customers
who elect to take service from an alternative supplier may return to service
at Standard Offer prices provided that such election is made within 90 days
of first taking service from the alternative supplier.

STANDARD OFFER
--------------
The Company's charges for Standard Offer Service are included as a
separate surcharge to the rates for retail delivery service that apply to all
retail customers.
ADJUSTMENT
Standard Offer Service will be put out to bid to interested energy
suppliers and all obligations are fully reconciling. The Company shall
reconcile the revenues billed to retail customers taking Standard Offer
Service against payments to suppliers of Standard Offer service and refund
or recover any over or undercollections on the following terms:
1. Overcollections
Any revenues billed by the Company for Standard Offer Service in excess
of payments to suppliers of that service shall be accumulated in an account
and credited with interest using the methodology for calculating interest on
customer deposits specified in the Company's terms and conditions. The
accumulated balance at the end of each calendar year shall be credited to all
the Company's retail delivery customers through a uniform cents per kilowatt-
hour factor the following year.
2. Undercollections
Standard Offer Rates may also be adjusted from time to time to reflect
changes in the Standard Offer Service Fuel Index or to recover deferred costs
that result from undercollection of expenses for Standard Offer Service as
provided below. These adjustments shall be collected through the Standard
Offer Surcharge as a uniform cents per kilowatt-hour surcharge on the prices
for Standard Offer Service.
For any revenues billed by the Company that do not recover the Company's
payments to suppliers or for any expenses the Company defers to meet the
inflation cap established in Section I.B.9 of the Settlement Agreement, Boston
Edison shall be authorized to accumulate the deficiencies together with
interest and to recover those amounts by implementing a uniform cents per
kilowatthour surcharge on the rates for Standard Offer Service, if and to the
extent that the access charges billed by Boston Edison to its retail customers
are for any reason below the unadjusted access charge listed in Attachment 3
of the Settlement Agreement. Under-recoveries, if any, that remain after the
standard offer transition period ends on December 31, 2004 shall be recovered
from all retail customers by a uniform surcharge to the Standard Offer not
exceeding $0.005 per kilowatthour commencing on January 1, 2005.
Not withstanding any other provisions, in the event the deferred costs
under the Standard Offer at any time accumulate to an amount in excess of
$50 million, Boston Edison shall be
S:\SHARED\SALESGEN\RDESIGN\98SCHED4.DOC
131
M.D.P.U. No. 840
Sheet 3
BOSTON EDISON COMPANY
STANDARD OFFER
--------------
authorized to fully recover the amount of deferred costs in excess of $50
million by filing with the Department a Standard Offer Surcharge. Such
Standard Offer Surcharge will be designed to recover the deferred excess costs
forecast for the next twelve (12) months on an annual basis and shall go into
effect sixty (60) days following the filing with the Department. The
collection of deferred excess costs will be through a uniform cents per kWh
surcharge to the Standard Offer until such time as the amount of energy
consumed by retail customers receiving Standard Offer Service reduces to 15
percent of the energy delivered to all retail customers. At that point, the
surcharge will be billed to all retail customers through the delivery charge.

STANDARD OFFER ADJUSTMENT PROVISION
-----------------------------------
The Standard Offer Adjustment shall be used to collect surcharges on the
prices for Standard Offer Service through a uniform cents per kilowatt-hour
factor.
Each adjustment of the prices under the Company's applicable rates shall
be in accordance with the following:
The Customer Rate in effect for a given billing month is multiplied
by a "Fuel Adjustment" that is set equal to 1.0 and thus has no
impact on Distribution Company Rates unless the "Market Gas Price"
plus "Market Oil Price" for the billing month exceeds the "Fuel
----
Trigger Point" then in effect, where:
Market Gas Price is the average of the values of "Gas Index" for the
----------------
most recent twelve months through and including the billing month,
where:
Gas Index is the average of the daily settlement prices for the last
---------
three days that the NYMEX Contract (as defined below) for the month
of delivery trades as reported in the "Wall Street Journal",
expressed in dollars per MMBtu. NYMEX Contract shall mean the New
York Mercantile Exchange Natural Gas Futures Contract as approved by
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for the purchase and sale
of natural gas at ▇▇▇▇▇ Hub;
Market Oil Price is the average of the values of "Oil Index" for the
----------------
most recent twelve months through and including the billing month,
where:
Oil Index is the average for the month of the daily low quotations
---------
for cargo delivery of 1.0% sulphur No. 6 residual fuel oil into New
York Harbor, as reported in "▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Pilgrim U.S. Markets Can" in
dollars per barrel and converted to dollars per MMBtu by dividing by
6.3; and
If the indices referred to above should become obsolete or no longer
suitable, the distribution company shall file alternate indices with
the Department.
Fuel Trigger Point is the following amounts, expressed in dollars
------------------
per MMBtu, applicable for all months in the specified calendar year:
2000 $5.35/MMBtu
2001 $5.35
2002 $6.09
2003 $7.01
2004 $7.74
In the event that the Fuel Trigger Point is exceeded, the Fuel
Adjustment value for the billing month is determined based according
to the following formula:
Fuel = (Market Gas Price + $0.60/MMBtu) + (Market Oil Price + $0.04/MMBtu)
Adjustment -------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuel Trigger Point + $0.60 + $0.04/MMBtu

M.D.P.U. No. 841
Sheet 2
BOSTON EDISON COMPANY
STANDARD OFFER ADJUSTMENT PROVISION
-----------------------------------
Where: Market Gas Price, Market Oil Price and Fuel Trigger Point
are as defined above. The values of $0.60 and $0.04/MMBtu represent
for gas and oil respectively, estimated basis differentials or
market costs of transportation from the point where the index is
calculated to a proxy power plant in the New England market.
For example, if at a point in the year 2002 the Market Gas Price and
Market Oil Price total $6.50 ($3.30/MMBtu plus $3.00/MMBtu
respectively), the Fuel Trigger Point of $6.09 would be exceeded.
In this case the Fuel Adjustment value would be
($3.50 + $0.60/MMBtu) + ($3.00 + $0.04/MMBtu) = 1.0609
------------------------------------------------------
$6.09 + $0.60 + $0.04/MMBtu
The customer Rate paid to the distribution company is increased by
this Fuel Adjustment factor for the billing month, becoming
4.4548 cents/kWh (4.2 x 1.0609).
In subsequent months the same comparisons are made and, if
applicable, a Fuel Adjustment determined.
Incremental revenues received by the distribution company as the
result of a Fuel Adjustment would be allocated to Standard Offer
suppliers in proportion to the Standard Offer energy provided by a
supplier to the distribution company in the applicable billing
month.
A notice filed with the Department of Public Utilities (the Department)
setting forth the amount of the applicable Standard Offer Adjustment, the
amount of the increase and the effective Standard Offer charge in the
Company's rates as adjusted to reflect the new Standard Offer Adjustment
amount. The notice shall further specify the effective date of such
adjustment, which shall not be earlier than thirty days after the filing of
the notice, or such other date as the Department may authorize.

SHORT-RUN QUALIFYING FACILITY POWER PURCHASE RATE
-------------------------------------------------
AVAILABILITY
Service under this rate is available upon written application to the
Company and execution of a service agreement for the purchase by the Company
of electricity from qualifying small power producers or cogenerators in
accordance with 220 Code of Massachusetts Regulations 8.00 et seq. The
-- ---
Company's obligation to purchase electricity under this rate is preconditioned
upon compliance with the requirements applicable to qualifying small power
producers or cogenerators contained in the following Company publications:
Information and Requirements for Electric Service; Guidelines - Parallel
Operation of Customer Generation; and Interconnection Guidelines.
POWER PURCHASE RATE
(a) Energy Purchase Rate
--------------------
In accordance with 220 CMR 8.04(4)(d), the Company will pay for
energy furnished to it under the terms of this rate schedule at a
price, separately applied to each rating period defined below,
computed according to the following formula:
ER = (F + O&M + SS) x (1 + LL)
where: ER = Energy purchase rate
F = Avoided fuel cost
O&M = Avoided operations and maintenance expense
SS = Avoided cost of a NEPOOL savings share
LL = Cumulative line loss factor
(b) Short-Run Capacity Rate
-----------------------
In accordance with 220 CMR 8.04(5)&(6), to the extent that the sale
by the qualifying facility to the Company is recognized by NEPOOL as
a capacity sale that contributes toward meeting the Company's
capability responsibility, the Company will also pay for capacity
furnished to it under the terms of this rate schedule when the
Company is capacity-deficient or otherwise would be capacity-
deficient without short-run power purchases from qualifying
facilities. The price for such short-run avoidable capacity shall
be calculated on a kilowatthour basis by voltage level according to

SHORT-RUN QUALIFYING FACILITY POWER PURCHASE RATE
-------------------------------------------------
DL = The cumulative demand loss factor as a decimal
during the peak rating period for the
appropriate voltage level. The demand loss
factor represents the capacity-related
losses through the utility transmission and
distribution system at the time of system
peak demand.
(c) A customer operating small power production or cogeneration
equipment with a design capacity of 30 kilowatts or less may elect
to sell separately metered electricity to the Company on a non-time-
differentiated rate basis. The non-time-differentiated rate is the
Company's energy rate calculated over the total period.
(d) A customer operating small power production or cogeneration
equipment with a design capacity of 30 kilowatts or less may also
elect, where no separate metering is installed, to allow the
Company's usual metering equipment to run backwards and to reduce
the recorded amount of electricity sold to the customer. The
customer will receive an energy payment, but not a capacity payment,
at the current short-run energy rate for the net energy, if any,
delivered to the Company measured by the reduction in the meter
reading below the reading of the previous month. In no event,
however, shall the customer's monthly bill without this credit be
less than the minimum charge as stated in the Company's generally
available rate schedule applicable to the service supplied to the
customer.
(e) The purchase option selected by a customer under this section may
not be changed more frequently than once in any twelve month period.
RATINGS PERIODS
There shall be two rating periods for purposes of computing the Energy
Purchase Rate.
(1) During the months of June through September, the peak demand shall
be the hours between 9 A.M. and 6 P.M. weekdays. During the months
of October through May, the peak period shall be the hours between
8 A.M. and 9 P.M. weekdays.

It is the Company's policy to offer a wide range of industry accepted
energy efficient streetlights. In cases where a city/town requests additions
to the Company's existing schedule of streetlights, the Company will:

such annual lighting schedule (minimum of 4,200 hours per year) shall be
substituted for the 8,760 hours per year lighting schedule.
The Company reserves the right of final determination of wattage and
operating period for unmetered loads.

pole to the junction point on the basis of the anticipated revenue, exclusive
of fuel and purchased power adjustment and other adjustment tariffs. All
other costs of construction including extensions of the existing distribution

MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES
---------------------
Applicable as Designated in Rate Schedules
------------------------------------------
DUPLICATE SERVICE CHARGE
If a customer desires the Company to provide duplicate service, or to
provide special capacity in other ways, the Company may make arrangements for
that purpose, making a charge therefore, which will be $4.22 per kilowatt per
month where only high tension distribution facilities are required, otherwise
the charge will be $6.80 per kilowatt per month. The foregoing are in
addition to the charges of the rate under which service is supplied and in
addition to any installation, or extension, charge.
In the context of this charge, duplicate service is defined as a
replicated installation of service equipment, where the Company has separately
provided the necessary distribution facilities to meet the total electrical
requirements of the customer. Those facilities may already include overhead
and underground circuits, conduit systems, pole lines, transformers and
service connections. This service is further characterized by the presence of
a double-throw switch at the customer's service location to prevent parallel
operation of these services.
MASTER METERED MULTIPLE OCCUPANT BUILDING LOSSES CHARGES
In multiple occupant buildings where a separate privately owned
transformer(s) is required to provide electricity at a secondary utilization
voltage (acceptable to the Company for metering purposes) to each customer
beyond the Company's secondary transformer, and where each customer is
separately metered, the Company will require the installation of approved
master metering equipment at a suitable location immediately beyond the
secondary side of the Company's transformer(s) at the building owner's
expense.
The master metering equipment shall be used to determine the electrical
losses incurred between the Company's secondary transformer(s) and the
individual customer-occupant metering equipment.
The building owner(s), or other person(s) responsible for the so-called
"public meter" use at the premises, shall pay the charges for the electrical
losses as determined under the applicable filed general service or residence
rate. This charge shall be calculated initially on the basis of five percent
of the kilowatthour use and demand recorded by the master metering equipment
during the monthly billing period. This percentage will be reviewed
periodically by the Company and adjusted to reflect the actual losses. The
customer of record will be notified of the percentage used as the basis of
billing for this charge.

INTERRUPTIBLE LOAD CREDIT I-C
-----------------------------
AVAILABILITY
Service under this rate is available only to customers who have a Service
Agreement in effect on the Retail Access Date and who are taking service under
one of the Company's time of use rates whose billing demand is determined by
an interval data recording device. This credit will apply to loads which are
available for interruption when a) the Company's or the New England Power
Pool's reliability is threatened; or b) the Company is near its expected peak
load. In order to receive this credit, the customer must execute a Service
Agreement in which the Interruption Option for each season, the Terms of
Contract, and the Interruptible Contract Demand for each season are specified.
This rate is closed to new participants effective on the Retail Access Date.
INTERRUPTIBLE CONTRACT DEMAND
An Interruptible Contract Demand shall be specified in the Service
Agreement for each season of October through May and June through September,
and each will be subject to the automatic modifications stipulated in the
Penalty provision. Prior to receiving the initial Demand Credit during a
season, the load must be interrupted at the request of the Company and the
Demonstrated Load Reduction must be greater than or equal to the Interruptible
Contract Demand for that season.
If the Demonstrated Load Reduction is greater than the 130% of the
Interruptible Contract Demand during three consecutive requests for
interruption in the same season, then the customer may choose to increase
that season's Interruptible Contract Demand, subject to the approval of the
Company.
The customer must notify the Company in writing when the load designated
as interruptible will not be available for interruption due to plant shutdowns
for vacation periods or for any other similar reason. The Interruptible
Contract Demand will be changed to zero without penalty for such periods and
the credits will be prorated based upon the number of weekdays.
MINIMUM INTERRUPTIBLE CONTRACT DEMAND
The Minimum Interruptible Contract Demand for either season shall be the
greater of a) 75 kW; or b) the average, for the months in the season, of the
difference between the customer's peak billing demand and the average demand
during the peak period. The Company at its discretion may waive the
requirement specified in part (b) for loads of known magnitude. However, any
additional metering expense must be borne by the customer.

DEMONSTRATED LOAD REDUCTION
For each incidence of interruption, the Demonstrated Load Reduction is
equal to the difference of a) the average demand during the same hours of the
day when the interruption was requested for the three uninterrupted days in
the same billing period in which the customer registered the highest demands;
and b) the average demand during the interruption period. For loads of known
magnitude, the Company at its discretion may employ an alternative method to
determine the Demonstrated Load Reduction. In such cases, the alternative
method will be specified in the Service Agreement.
INTERRUPTION OPTIONS
Customers wishing to take service must select one of the following
options for each season:
Maximum Interrupted Hours Minimum Interrupted

first interruption at the request of the Company in the applicable season.
ADVANCE NOTICE OF INTERRUPTIONS
The Company will give at least one hour advance notice of interruption
and will attempt, but shall not be obligated, to provide a longer notice
period.
PENALTY FOR NON-INTERRUPTED LOADS
Reduced Compliance: If a Demonstrated Load Reduction in a given season is
------------------ greater than or equal to the Minimum Interruptible
Contract Demand for that season and less than the
Interruptible Contract Demand for that season, then
the Interruptible Contract Demand in the Service
Agreement for that season automatically will be
reduced to the Demonstrated Load Reduction effective
as of the date of the incidence of reduced compliance.
Non-Compliance: If a Demonstrated Load Reduction in a given season
-------------- falls below the Minimum Interruptible Contract Demand
for that season, then the customer's Service Agreement
will be changed to reflect fewer interruptions for
that season effective as of the date of the non-
compliance incidence. Customers on Option A will be
moved to Option B. Customers on Option B will be
moved to Option C. If the customer was on Option C,
then the Interruptible Contract Demand for that season
in which the non-compliance occurred will be changed
to zero for a period of at least one year except with
the written concurrence of the Company to earlier
resumption.
TERM OF CONTRACT
Customers may select contract periods of one, three or five years. If
total annual subscriptions under this credit and Interruptible Load Credit I-N
reach a level of 30 MW, the Company may discontinue further subscriptions.

-----------------------------
AVAILABILITY
Service under this rate is available only to customers who have an
Interruptible Service Agreement in effect on the Retail Access Date and who
are taking service under one of the Company's time of use rates. This credit
will apply to loads which are available for interruption at the request of
NEPOOL and which are approved by the Company as qualifying as Type II
Interruptible Loads under ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s Criteria, Rules and Standards Number 16
(CRS-16) as it exists from time to time. Such loads must adhere to the
requirements therein including metering, auditing and notice of interruptions.
The Company will provide detailed requirements upon request. This rate is
closed to new participants effective on the Retail Access Date.
DEFINITION OF INTERRUPTIBLE LOAD
Interruptible loads are those which are normally supplied by the Company
during peak hours and which may be interrupted at the discretion of and under
the control of the Company or any power pool of which the Company is a member.
Such loads will be interrupted to reduce the Company's peak capacity
requirements. Seasonal Interruptible loads are Interruptible loads which are
zero during a portion of the year.

DETERMINATION OF INTERRUPTIBLE ENERGY
The Interruptible Energy (kWh) will be the peak kilowatthours of the
separately metered interruptible load. The Company may accept loads of known
magnitude for which separate metering is not necessary, provided such loads
are acceptable to NEPOOL. For loads not separately metered the Interruptible
Energy will be identified in the Interruptible Service Agreement for each
season of October through May and June through September, and will be equal to
the minimum demand of the specified equipment or processes times the number of
peak hours in the billing period.
LIMITATIONS ON INTERRUPTIONS
The frequency and duration of interruptions is limited according to
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s CRS-16 as it exists from time to time and is specified in the
Interruptible Service Agreement.
ADVANCE NOTICE OF INTERRUPTIONS
The load must be interruptible as specified in NEPOOL's Criteria, Rules
and Standards Number 16 as it exists from time to time. If the NEPOOL credit
for the interruptible load is adjusted due to the advance notification
requirements of the load, the Demand Credit received under this tariff will
receive the same adjustment and it will be specified in the Interruptible
Service Agreement.
PENALTY FOR NON-INTERRUPTION OF INTERRUPTIBLE LOADS
If upon request a customer fails to interrupt all or part of the load
contracted as interruptible for this credit, such load will immediately cease
to be eligible for this credit. In addition, the customer will be obligated
to repay the Company retroactively all credits received for such load for the
prior seventeen months.
METERING
In the event the Company determines that additional metering,
telemetering and/or automatic control equipment is required, such equipment
shall be installed and maintained by the

TERMS OF CONTRACT
Customers who wish to receive a credit for Interruptible Load must
execute an Interruptible Service Agreement with the Company prior to
commencement of such service. The initial term of contract shall be five
years. If total annual subscriptions under this credit and Interruptible
Load Credit I-C reach a level of 30 MW, the Company may discontinue further
subscriptions or require a ten year term of contract.
EXISTING CONTRACT TERMINATION
All Interruptible Service Agreements in effect on the Retail Access Date
will remain in effect for the specified contract life unless the Customer
decides to terminate his/her Standard Offer Service. Termination of Standard
Offer Service will terminate the Interruptible Service Agreement for this
rate. No existing Interruptible Service Agreement will be renewed or extended
beyond the current contract life.

Establishment of Storm Contingency Fund
Policies and Procedures
Boston Edison Company shall establish an $8M storm contingency fund to
pay for the incremental operations and maintenance (O&M) costs incurred by the
Company as the result of major storms. Major storms shall be defined as those
storms with incremental O&M costs over $1.0 million occurring after the date
the settlement proposal is approved by the Department of Public Utilities
(DPU). The fund shall be established and maintained as follows:
1. Effective upon DPU approval of this agreement, Boston Edison. will
initially fund the storm contingency fund with an $8 million contribution
from proceeds received by the Company through the sale of Clean Air Act
Emission Allowances. After storm costs have been paid from the fund,
Boston Edison. will restore the balance to a level of $8M by contributing
funds from distribution maintenance expenses up to a maximum of $3M a
year until the fund reaches the $8M level. The accounting entry to
record any funding from distribution maintenance expenses will be booked
as follows:
DR Account 598 Maintenance of Misc. Distribution Plant
CR Account 254 Storm Contingency Fund
2. Upon the occurrence of a major storm, all incremental O&M costs incurred
as a result of the storm shall be offset against the balance in Account
254 (storm contingency fund). Incremental O&M costs are defined as the
costs which Boston Edison. will incur as a direct result of a storm which
are over and above Boston Edison.'s normal costs of doing business.
These costs shall include such things as overtime paid to employees to
restore service to customers, rest time wages incurred as a result of
storm restoration (as stipulated in union contracts), outside vendor
costs, lodging and meal charges, material and supply charges, and other
related miscellaneous storm costs. The storm fund is not intended to
reimburse Boston Edison. for incremental capital costs. The accounting
entry to record the incremental costs up to the amount in the storm fund
will be the following:
DR Account 254 Storm Contingency Fund
DR Account 407.3 Regulatory Debits - Storm Fund
CR Account 407.4 Regulatory Credits - Storm Fund
CR Account 131 Cash
3. If the cumulative incremental costs of major storms exceed the balance
in Account 254 (storm contingency fund), such excess shall be deferred
by Boston Edison. by a debit to Account 182, Deferred Charges - Storm
Fund. Interest on the remaining
225
balance will be accounted for as described in item 4. The accounting
entry to record the excess costs will be the following:
DR Account 182.3 Deferred Charges - Storm Fund
CR Account 131 Cash
4. Interest shall be accrued monthly on any positive or negative balance in

FORMULA FOR CALCULATING ACCESS CHARGES
Settlement Agreement
Formula for Calculating Access Charges
Access Charge Summary (Schedule 1, Page 1)
The Access Charge is calculated in Schedules 1 and 2 attached. The
Access Charge is made up of two components:
a fixed component described in Section 1 below; and
a variable component described in Section 2.
In general the dollar amounts in the fixed component do not change, but
are set at the time of the Agreement. The amounts in the variable
component are forecast and are reconciled to the actual charges in the
reconciliation account.
1.0 The Fixed Component of the Access Charge (Schedule 1, Page 2)
-------------------------------------------------------------
The fixed component of the Access Charge consists of the various
elements described in more detail in Sections 1.1 through 1.9 below.
With the exception of the amounts calculated from time to time for
Adjustments for Residual Value Credits (Schedule 1, page 2, column G),
the amounts shown on Schedule 1, page 2 shall be fixed and shall not be
subject to change as part of any future reconciliation of the access
charge.
1.1 Amortization of Plant and Regulatory Assets (Schedule 1, Page 2,
----------------------------------------------------------------
Col. C) -
------- Revenues shown in Col. B sufficient to amortize Plant
and Regulatory Assets commencing on January 1, 1998 and ending
December 31, 2009. The balance of Plant and Regulatory Assets
balances made up as follows:
1.1(a) Plant balances (Schedule 1, Page 5)
----------------------------------- shall include the
December 31, 1995(1) net book value, of the following

adjustments.
228
(ii) All Jet units including: L Street; ▇▇▇▇▇;
Mystic; Framingham; and West Medway.
(iii) Pilgrim Nuclear Station, less the 25.73133%
share (Contract Share) covered by Pilgrim
unit sales contracts (Contract Customers).
This plant balance shall also include the
balances for materials and supplies, nuclear
intangibles and allocated share of nuclear
Stabilizer Line.
(iv) Step up transformers at BECo's generating units
which are excluded from BECo's transmission
rates.
(v) General plant allocated to generation.
(vi) Generation related property held for future use.
(vii) LaGrange Street property in Newton,
Massachusetts (1995 FERC Form 1, p. 221).
1.1(b) Regulatory Assets (Schedule 1, Page 6)
-------------------------------------- shall include
generation's share (net of the Pilgrim Contract Share)
of the following December 31, 1995(2) obligations or net
book balances that are unrecovered as of December 31,
1997:
(i) FAS 109.
(ii) National Energy Policy Act (NEPA) payments.
(iii) Unamortized ITC (Investment Tax Credit).
(iv) FAS 106 Deferral and Transition Obligations.
1.2 Carrying Charge Component (Schedule 1, Page 2, Col. B) -
------------------------------------------------------
Revenues sufficient to provide an overall pre-tax carrying charge
on stranded investment shown on Capital shown on Schedule 1, page
14(3), which is based on a combined State and Federal income tax
rate of 39.225 percent multiplied by the average of the beginning
and ending balances in each calendar year beginning in the year
of the Retail Access Date, of the sum of the following:
1.2(a) Unrecovered net book value of BECo's generation
investments as defined in 1.1(a) above and as
calculated on Page 5 of Schedule 1; plus
[FN]
____________________
(2) The balances in Schedule 1 will be adjusted for relevant DPU or FERC audit
adjustments.
(3) The carrying charge on capital shown on Schedule 1, page 14 shall be used
as the return whenever referenced throughout this Agreement. However, the
return so calculated will be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.7.
229
1.2(b) Unrecovered net book value of generation related
Regulatory Assets as defined in 1.1(b) above and as
calculated on Page 6 of Schedule 1; less
1.2(c) Deferred Taxes as shown in Schedule 1, Page 14, Col. C,
which are calculated on Schedule 1, page 13, as equal to
the combined State and Federal Income Tax rate of 39.225
percent, multiplied by the sum of the unrecovered:
(i) net book value of BECo's generation investment;
plus
(ii) net book value of generation related regulatory
assets; less
(iii) balance of generation investment for tax
purposes; less
(iv) balance of generation related regulatory assets
for tax purposes.
1.3 Transmission Wheeling (Schedule 1, Page 2, Col. D) -
--------------------------------------------------
Forecast costs associated with the transmission of electricity
from BECo's entitlements as of 12/31/95 in ▇▇▇▇▇ Unit 4, which
is located off BECo's transmission system, together with support
payments to Central Maine Power which are necessary for the
transmission of this entitlement. These costs are excluded from
recovery under BECo's open access transmission tariffs.
1.4 Residual Value Credits - Fossil (Schedule 1, Page 2, Col. F) -
------------------------------------------------------------
BECo shall implement Fossil Residual Value Credits (FRVCs) as
a direct offset to the Access Charges authorized under this
Settlement. The FRVCs shall be calculated as follows:
1.4(a) Fossil sale or spin-off proceeds (including sale of
generation related property held for future use and
La Grange Street property in Newton received by BECo;
less
1.4(b) Any revenues lost or gained by BECo between the Retail
Access Date and the divestiture date measured by the
difference between the revenue from the unit that BECo
would have collected from the fully allocated (e.g.
including A&G) generation portion of DPU 92-92 rates and
the market revenues from the units plus any Access
Charge revenues related to the unit sold. However, the
total lost revenues so calculated shall not exceed
$0.008 per kilowatt-hour times the number of kilowatt-
hours delivered by BECo during the period between the
Retail Access Date and the date of divestiture(4); less
[FN]
____________________
(4) If BECo sells its generating facilities in more than one transaction, the
revenues lost shall be allocated based on unit capacity costs in the FERC
tariff #6 in effect at the signing of this Agreement.
230
1.4(c) ▇▇▇▇'▇ share of capital investments for that unit
demonstrated to be prudently incurred after December 31,
1995, excluded from the plant balances in Section 1.1
above; less
1.4(d) The book value at date of sale of items included as
consideration of the sale proceeds that are not included
in the recovered balances shown on pages 3 and 4 or
recovered elsewhere in this attachment. Such items may
include materials and supplies, as well as fossil fuel.
1.4(e) Reasonable costs associated with the sale process
including any reasonable internal costs (such internal
costs cannot exceed $1,000,000) incurred for the
performance of tasks that otherwise would have been
outsourced as well as the cost of refinancing associated
with the units' sale or spin-off; less
1.4(f) Any reasonable cost of removal or site clean up costs of
the fossil facilities including any such costs incurred
by BECo to prepare the facilities for sale and any such
costs for which BECo remains liable for up to ten years
following the sale of said facilities.
The closings associated with the sale of BECo's assets may occur
at different times. Thus, after Retail Access Date, as part of
the annual update of the Access Charge the balance remaining at
year end from the items above that have not already been included
in a previous FRVC shall be credited to the Fixed Component of
the Access Charge in equal annual monthly amounts over the period
commencing on the date that the FRVC is implemented through
December 31, 2009. However, if the balance of items above not
previously included in a FRVC exceeds $13 million, an interim
FRVC for the outstanding balance of the items above will be
implemented to start the flow back to customers within three
months of receipt of funds. The annualized amount of each year's
FRVC credit shall be calculated as an annuity based on the
amortization and the pretax carrying charge on the unamortized
credit balance net of tax impacts as outlined in Sections 1.1
and 1.2 above. Since both proceeds and costs are recovered
through this account there are some FRVCs that may be negative.
However, the sum of all the FRVCs for all the years may not be
less than zero. If the sale of assets, whose costs have been
included in the Access Charge, occurs after December 31, 2009,
BECo shall implement a Residual Value Credit following that date
to amortize the proceeds with the return specified above, over
no more than five years.
1.5 Residual Value Credit - Nuclear (Schedule 1, Page 2, Col. F) -
------------------------------------------------------------
A plan for the market valuation (excluding decommissioning
liabilities and funds) of Pilgrim will be filed on or before
January 1, 1999 and the valuation will be completed by
December 31. 2002. Within three months after the completion
of the market valuation as provided for in this section or in
Section 1.8 below, BECo shall
231
implement a Pilgrim Residual Value Credit (PRVC) as a direct
offset to the Access Charges authorized under this Settlement.
The PRVC shall be calculated as follows:
1.5(a) The market valuation times 74.26867% ("BECo's Share");
less
1.5(b) ▇▇▇▇'▇ Share of undepreciated capital investments
incurred after December 31, 1995, excluded from the
plant balances in Section 1.1 above; less
1.5(c) BECo's Share of reasonable costs associated with the
sale or market valuation process including any
reasonable internal costs (such internal costs shall
not exceed $1,000,000) incurred for the performance of
tasks that otherwise would have been outsourced as well
as the cost of refinancings; less
1.5(d) ▇▇▇▇'▇ Share of any cost of removal or site clean up
costs not otherwise reflected in Decommissioning or
Post-Shutdown Costs as defined in Section 2.1.(c) of
this Attachment. If the unit is sold but the
Decommissioning liability remains with BECo, BECo will
continue to collect the Decommissioning amounts through
the Variable Component of the Access Charge. If the
decommissioning liability is transferred to the buyer
as part of the sale, BECo will cease collection of the
decommissioning amount as reflected in the
reconciliation account Section 2.9(a)(ii) below.
The PRVC from Pilgrim shall be credited to the Fixed Component
in equal annual amounts over the period commencing on the date
the PRVC is implemented through December 31, 2009. The
annualized amount of the PRVC credit shall be calculated as an
annuity based on the amortization and the pretax carrying charge
on the unamortized credit balance net of tax impacts as outlined
in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 above.
232
1.6 Valuation of Pilgrim if shutdown prior to market valuation under
----------------------------------------------------------------
section 1.5 above
-----------------
If BECo notifies the DPU of its decision to shutdown Pilgrim
prior to completion of the market valuation plan outlined above,
then BECo will perform the following steps:
1.6(a) Within three working days of shutdown notification BECo
will publish a notice in the Wall Street Journal and
send letters to the CEOs of all utilities with nuclear
operations that the plant is available for sale to
qualified buyers and that any party interested in
purchasing Pilgrim may file a statement of intent to
purchase the unit with an indicative bid within ten
working days of the published notice with ▇▇▇▇. Such
filing will require a bidder's deposit of $1 million.
1.6(b) Within ten working days of the receipt of the statement
of intent to purchase the unit, BECo will provide the
DPU with an evaluation of such indicative bids. An
appropriate summary of the evaluation will be made
available to the public by Boston Edison. If within 60
days of receipt of the evaluation, the DPU does not
order BECo to sell the plant, then the market value will
be deemed zero for purposes of this section. The
Company may proceed with decommissioning the plant. The
deposits will be returned to bidders. After
commencement of decommissioning any proceeds from the
site or unit not otherwise credited to decommissioning
will be credited to customers as part of the annual
reconciliation under Section 2.9 of this agreement.
1.6(c) If the DPU requires the Company to sell Pilgrim, BECo
will recover all nuclear operating costs through the
access charge reconciliation account as described in
section 2.2(b) and the deposits will be returned to all
bidders.
1.7 Residual Value Credit - For Changes in Carrying Charges Including
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Refinancings, Repurchases, Retirements of Securities and
--------------------------------------------------------
Securitization
--------------
1.7(a) If directed by the legislature, BECo shall be required
to implement securitization on a timely basis, if
implementation would produce net savings to consumers
after taking into account all transaction costs
including call provisions and prepayments, if
applicable.
1.7(b) Any and all financing savings associated with the
issuance of securities by the Company, a government
agency, or any corporation established by the government
that pledge, assign, or have security interest in the
assets and/or the cash flows associated with any portion
of the Access Charge ("securitization") shall be
allocated to the Access Charge through the Adjustment
for Residual Value Credits on Page 2 of Schedule 1. The
amount will be calculated by multiplying the average
balance of the
233
securitized amount by the reduction in the "Carrying
Charge." The average balance of the securitized amount
will be the actual daily average of the amount of the
"Average Net Balance" of Schedule 1, page 14, column E,
that has been securitized after adjustment for issue
costs. The reduction in the "Carrying Charge" will be
the difference between the rate of return on the
securitization issues and the "Carrying Charge" of
10.88% shown on Schedule 1, page 14 as adjusted for any
and all previous changes in capital costs as provided in
this Section. Neither the Carrying Charge on Capital
nor the interest rate on securitized debt is intended to
represent an agreement as to an allowed rate of return
as determined in a retail rate case, nor is it to be
used for any other purposes (such as AFUDC), nor does it
establish precedent for future proceedings, nor is it
binding on the parties except with respect to the
matters set forth in this Agreement.
1.7(c) The Carrying Charge rate on Schedule 1, page 14 will be
updated for the actual State and Federal Income Tax
rates and the difference in the Annual Return on
Unamortized Balance will be debited or credited to the
Access Charge through the Residual Value Credit.
1.8 Residual Value Credit - Carrying charge on FAS 106 unfunded
-----------------------------------------------------------
balances -
-------- The difference between the carrying charge provided
for in Section 1.2 and the discount rate for FAS 106 that is used
to calculate the updated balance in Section 1.9 below shall be
applied to the unfunded FAS 106 balance, net of any deferred tax
impact, and this amount shall be credited to the Residual Value
Credit account.
1.9 Residual Value Credit for Updated balances for Specific
-------------------------------------------------------
Regulatory Assets as of 12/31/97 -
-------------------------------- As of 12/31/97 BECo shall
reconcile the balances in Section 1.1(b) for the unrecognized
transition obligation, prior service cost, and unrecognized gains
or losses in the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation
associated with the FAS 106 transition obligation; and the
pension obligation under FAS 87 for the amount of unrecognized
transition obligation, prior service obligation and unrecognized
gains and losses only to the extent that such gains and losses
exceed five percent of plan assets or liabilities. BECo shall
make cash contributions to the respective trust funds for the FAS
106 and FAS 87 obligations under this section and Section 2.5 as
rapidly as permitted under tax law up to the level of revenues
collected for this purpose.(5) Any revenues associated with
these obligations that cannot be immediately funded shall be put
into a separate account on the books to be reserved with carrying
charges at the rate provided in Section 1.2 until tax deductible
funding becomes possible. For this purpose, the FAS 87 pension
obligation includes section 401(h) post-retirement health care
benefits. The one-time adjustment associated with FAS
[FN]
____________________
(5) BECo's post divestiture FAS 106 and FAS 87 gains or losses recognized on
▇▇▇▇'▇ books shall be reflected in distribution rates to customers and
shall neither be retained nor borne by ▇▇▇▇.
234
106 and FAS 87, whether positive or negative, shall be subtracted
from or added to the schedules for prospective recovery of FAS
106. In addition, ▇▇▇▇ will reconcile the balances for the FAS
109 regulatory asset. The changes in each of the balances will
be only the generation portion of these balances. This amount
will be amortized over the period ending December 31, 2009 with
the appropriate carrying charges used for the individual
regulatory assets and credited or debited through the Residual
Value Credit account.
2.0 The Variable Component of the Access Charge
-------------------------------------------
The variable component of the access charge is shown on Schedule
1, page 3. The amounts in the variable component are forecast
and are reconciled to the actual charges in the reconciliation
account. This charge includes:
2.1 Pilgrim Fixed Operating Costs, Decommissioning and Other Post
-------------------------------------------------------------
Shutdown Costs (Schedule 1, page 3, Column B) -
--------------------------------------------- The amounts in
this schedule are made up of three components as described in
Sections 2.1(a), 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) below:
2.1(a) Revenues sufficient to cover Pilgrim Fixed Operating Costs -
---------------------------------------------------------- In
each of the years 1998, 1999 and 2000 Boston Edison shall receive
revenues equal to the lower of $23 million (as adjusted below)
or the sum of BECo's Share of Pilgrim's annual property taxes
(excluding any Pilgrim property tax recovered under Section 2.4
below), NRC fees, insurance and the cost of minimum security
requirements. In any calendar year, the $23 million will be
reduced by $2 million a year for every percent the capacity
factor of the unit is below 68%, however, the amount will never
be negative. If less than a full year is applicable, the amount
under this section shall be prorated to a monthly amount. If
BECo informs the DPU of its decision to permanently shut down
Pilgrim, future revenues under this Section 2.1(a) will cease
on the date of such notification and the year to date capacity
factor will be used. If Pilgrim is sold, the revenues covering
fixed operating costs included in this section will continue to
be received but will be flowed through to the purchaser.
2.1(b) Pilgrim Decommissioning Costs -
----------------------------- Decommissioning costs for
Pilgrim will be the estimated nuclear decommissioning costs shown
on Schedule 1, Page 8. These costs include all charges, for,
decommissioning and site restoration. Any net incremental
decommissioning costs caused by operations after the later of the
Retail Access Date or the date when the Department prescribes a
method of distinguishing net incremental decommissioning costs
from decommissioning costs as described in DPU 96-100 page 288,
(December 30 1996) shall be excluded. Recovery of these
decommissioning costs shall be subject to the regulatory
authority of the agencies having jurisdiction over the operation
and collection of such funds. The decommissioning funds received
under this section will be placed in irrevocable trusts
maintained in accordance with 18 C.F.R. 35.32, 35.33, and
relevant State, or Federal laws and regulations which may be in
effect from time to time. Upon the completion of decommissioning
any
235
remaining balances in the decommissioning trust accounts will be
returned to customers through a credit to the Reconciliation
Account. Decommissioning amounts will be adjusted as
decommissioning studies for Pilgrim are updated. These
decommissioning studies will be updated no less than every two
years and the updated decommissioning amounts will be reflected
in the reconciliation account under Section 2.9(a)(ii) below. By
June 30, 1998, ▇▇▇▇ will prepare a detailed early shutdown plan
that can be updated easily and that can form the basis to
expedite the preparation of a NRC Post-Shutdown Decommissioning
Activities Report (PSDAR) under 10 C.F.R. 50.82 in the event of
early shutdown.
2.1(c) Pilgrim Post-Shutdown Costs -
--------------------------- Upon BECo's notification to the
DPU of its decision to permanently shut down Pilgrim, BECo's
Share of Pilgrim's reasonable post shutdown costs not recovered
through the decommissioning account will be recovered as an
addition to the "actual decommissioning" reconciliation account
on Schedule 2, page 1. The shutdown notification to the DPU
shall include ▇▇▇▇'▇ estimate of the post shutdown costs not
covered by the decommissioning fund for the 24 month period
following the shutdown date. Within 60 days of receipt of ▇▇▇▇'▇
estimate, the DPU shall either (1) notify BECo of its approval of
the estimate or (2) schedule a hearing to resolve questions
regarding the estimate. BECo shall be allowed to collect
revenues through the Access Charge based upon its estimate,
subject to refund after a final order has been issued by the DPU.
Such refunds, if any, shall include interest (at the Carrying
charge on Capital as shown in Schedule 1, page 14) on the
overcollected amount balance. Notwithstanding DPU approval of
the budget estimate, the actual costs will be reconciled (with an
explanation of significant variances) and recovered as described
in Section 2.9
If as a result of its failure to file with the NRC a PSDAR within
one year from the later of:
(i) the date of notification to the DPU of its
decision to shut down Pilgrim; or
(ii) expiration of the 60 day period identified in
section 1.6(b),
▇▇▇▇ is unable to use moneys from the decommissioning fund for
decommissioning, the monthly amounts recovered under this section
2.1(c) will be reduced by 2% per month until the level of 76% is
reached. The amount recovered will remain at 76% until such time
as BECo files a PSDAR with the NRC at which time the recovery
shall return to 100%.
2.2 Above Market Payments to Power Suppliers (Schedule 1, Page 3,
-------------------------------------------------------------
Col. E )
-------- will be:
236
2.2(a) all payments by BECo for Long-Term Power Supply Contracts
including any decommissioning or post shutdown costs for
Connecticut Yankee and Mass Yankee; less
2.2(b) the market value realized from the resale of electricity
purchased under the contracts into the wholesale market or if
the supply contracts are used to support the standard offer, the
market price will be deemed to be the standard offer prices paid
by the customers; plus
2.2(c) Economic Buyout Payments agreed to by ▇▇▇▇ after June 1, 1997
associated with those contracts.
Long-Term Power Supply Contracts shall be all power supply
contracts in place as of December 31, 1995, between BECo and a
third party supplier, continuing to the termination date of each
contract. Supply Contracts are listed on Schedule 1, page 9 of
this Attachment. Economic Buyout Payments will be all reasonable
payments by BECo associated with the early termination of Long-
Term Power Supply Contracts or costs incurred to reduce payments
under those contracts.
2.3 Above Market Fuel Transportation (Schedule 1, Page 3, Col. G)
-------------------------------------------------------------
as shown in Schedule 1, Page 12, will be the sum of BECo's
continuing long-term payment obligations associated with
(i) Capacity Payments to Gas Pipelines less (ii) the market
value of that capacity (see Schedule 1, page 12).
2.3(a) Capacity and Fixed Energy Payments to Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines will be all capacity and fixed energy payments for
Interstate Pipeline Capacity Contracts in effect as of
December 31, 1995. They include contracts with:
(1) Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.
(2) Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
(3) Texaco Natural Gas Inc.
(4) Associated Gas Services Inc.
(5) Phibro Division of Salomon Inc.
(6) Central ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Gas & Electric Corporation
(7) Renaissance Energy (U.S.) Inc.
(8) Boston Gas Company
2.3(b) The Market Value of Capacity Payments to Interstate Natural Gas
Pipelines will equal the actual proceeds associated with the sale
or assignment or termination of contractual obligations. For the
purposes of calculating the Access Charge and amount included in
the Reconciliation Account prior to the date that BECo's
contractual entitlements to the pipeline capacity are assigned
to a non-affiliate, the Market Value of Capacity Payments to
Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines equals the amounts shown on
page 12 of Schedule 1, which are deemed to be 50 percent of such
capacity payments.
237
2.4 Payments in Lieu of Property Taxes (Schedule 1, Page 3, Col. H)
---------------------------------------------------------------
for generation facilities will include all reasonable costs
incurred by BECo (but excluding the Contract Customer Portion of
Pilgrim costs) or its affiliates associated with payments in lieu
of property taxes to the cities and towns in which BECo owns
generating facilities as of December 31, 1995 to mitigate the
loss of tax revenues that those cities and towns would otherwise
incur in connection with restructuring. For the purposes of
calculating the Variable Component of the Access Charge on page 3
of Schedule 1, the Payments in Lieu of Property Taxes are assumed
to be zero.
2.5 Employee Severance and Retraining (Schedule 1, Page 3, Col. I)
--------------------------------------------------------------
will include all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by BECo
(but excluding the Contract Customer Portion of Pilgrim costs)
or its affiliates associated with the adjustment of their
workforces in connection with the implementation of retail access
or divestiture, including, but not limited to early retirement,
severance, retraining and other reasonable costs. For the
purposes of calculating the Variable Component of the Access
Charge on page 3 of Schedule 1, the Employee Severance and
Retraining Costs are assumed to be zero.
2.6 Damages, Costs, or Net Recoveries from Claims (Schedule 1, Page
---------------------------------------------------------------
3, Col. J)
---------- by or against third parties shall include all damages,
costs, or recoveries associated with BECo's generating business
(but excluding the Contract Customer Portion of Pilgrim costs)
which accrued prior to the divestiture date and which were not
assigned to ▇▇▇▇'▇ successor in interest, recovered from BECo's
insurance carriers, or the result of gross negligence. For the
purposes of calculating the Variable Component of the Access
Charge on page 3 of Schedule 1, Damages, Costs, or Net Recoveries
from claims were assumed to be zero.
2.7 Performance Based Rate for Pilgrim (Schedule 1, Page 3, Col. K)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Performance Based Rates for Pilgrim will include the sum of the
following three items:
2.7(a) So long as BECo continues to operate Pilgrim, from the Retail
Access Date through December 31, 2000. Performance Based Rates
will include:
(i) 25 percent of the total reasonable operating costs (but
excluding the Contract Customer Portion of Pilgrim costs),
including payroll and property taxes and other variable
costs and post 12/31/95 capital additions, on a cost of
service basis associated with Pilgrim that are not
otherwise recovered in the Access Charge under section 2.4
Payments in Lieu of Property Taxes or Section 2.5 Employee
Severance and Retraining: less
(ii) the revenues (but excluding the Contract Customer Portion
of Pilgrim revenues) from sales of 25 percent of Pilgrim's
capacity and related energy produced (but excluding the
Contract Customer Portion of Pilgrim energy and
238
capacity). These revenues exclude revenues collected
under Sections 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 above.
2.7(b) If Pilgrim is required to support the Standard Offer, BECo will
receive the prices shown on Attachment 4 "Term Sheet for Bidding
Standard Offer Service Including Fuel Index", Section 3 "Payments
by Distribution Company" in the table "Distribution Company
Rates". To the extent that Pilgrim forgoes market revenues
higher than the Standard Offer because of its requirement to
support the Standard Offer and it operates at a loss, it may
recover such loss up to the amount of the revenues foregone
through this account in the succeeding year. In so far as the
annual amount in Section 2.7(a) above is positive (i.e. costs
exceed revenues) a loss shall be deemed to have occurred. Thus
the profit to loss calculation excludes the Pilgrim Contract
Customers revenues and expenses and it excludes revenues under
Sections 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 above.
2.7(c) The PBR for Pilgrim shall recover ▇▇▇▇'▇ share of the book value
of the actual final nuclear fuel core at shutdown which will be
recovered in equal amounts, including a carrying charge on the
unrecovered balance at the Carrying Charge Rate shown on Schedule
1, page 14, as adjusted by Sections 1.2 and 1.7 over three years
after shutdown.
2.8 Base Total Variable Component (Schedule 1, Page 3, Col. L)
---------------------------------------------------------- is the
sum of the variable components outlined in section 2.1 through
2.7 above.
2.9 The Reconciliation Account (Schedule 1, Page 3, Col. M)
-------------------------------------------------------
is calculated in Schedule 2.
2.9(a) Annual Reconciliation Adjustment (Schedule 2, Page 2, Col. B)
-------------------------------------------------------------
is calculated on Schedule 2, Page 1 and will be the sum of the
two following components:
(i) Revenue Adjustment (Schedule 2, Page 1, Col. B through
Col. F) is calculated as follows: The estimated retail
kWh delivered in Col. B are subtracted from the actual
retail kWh delivered in Col. C to arrive at the surplus
or (deficit) kWh in Col. D. The balance in Col. D is
multiplied by the Access Charge Billed in Col. E to
arrive at an over collection or (shortfall) in Col. F.
(ii) Variable Cost Adjustment (Schedule 2, Page 1, Col. G
through Col. R) adjusts the base total variable component
(2.8 above) for the actual costs experienced for the items
in 2.1 through 2.7 above.
2.9(b) Deferral of Retail Access Date (Schedule 2, Page 2, Col. C)
----------------------------------------------------------- This
amount is calculated as follows: for each month that Retail
Access Date is delayed, the monthly amount of the fixed component
of the Access Charge shown on Schedule 1, Page 1, Col. C will be
accumulated. This amount will be reduced by the monthly amount
of the annual amortization shown Schedule 1, Page 5, Col. F and
239
Schedule 1, Page 6, Col. D as adjusted by section 1.9 and the
associated return computed in accordance with section 1.2 of this
Agreement. The monthly adjustment shall be accumulated in the
Reconciliation Account established below, and will be reflected
in the adjustments to the Access Charge commencing on January 1,
2001.
2.9(c) Asset Balance Adjustments, Actual Generation & Related
------------------------------------------------------
Transmission (Schedule 2, Page 2, Col. D)
----------------------------------------- The Transmission
Wheeling referenced under Section 1.3 above will be adjusted in
this account so that only the actual expense incurred by BECo
will be recovered in the Access Charge. The Generation Related
Transmission on Schedule 1, Page 5 will be adjusted for the
actual amount not recovered in the transmission rates.
2.9(d) Access Charge Mitigation (Schedule 2, Page 2, Col. E)
----------------------------------------------------- From
January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2009, an Access Charge
Mitigation Incentive shall increase the Variable Cost Component
when BECo mitigates the Access Charge and reduces the cumulative
average of the cents per kilowatt-hour Access Charge below the
1998 Access Charge 3.51 cents as shown on Schedule 1 page 1,
Col. H. The schedule of rewards for each level of the cumulative
average Access Charge in each year from 2001 through 2009 is
shown on Schedule 1, page 4.
2.9(e) Annual Shortfall/Excess (Schedule 2, Page 2, Col. F)
---------------------------------------------------- is the total
of items 2.9(a) through 2.9(d) above.
2.9(f) Annual Pre-tax Carrying Charge Component (Schedule 2, Page 2,
-------------------------------------------------------------
Col. G)
------- is the balance of the prior year in the account as shown
in Col. I multiplied by the Carrying Charge Rate shown on
Schedule 1, Page 14, as updated by Sections 1.2 and 1.7.
2.9(g) Collection of Prior Year Balance, Including Interest (Schedule 2,
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Page 2, Col. H)
--------------- is the amount collected in rates as shown on
Schedule 1, page 3, Col. N. This amount cannot allow the Base
Access Charge to exceed 3.51 cents/kWh in 1998 or 3.35 cents/kWh
in later years. If the amount to be recovered would cause the
Access Charge to exceed 3.51 cents/kWh in 1998, the amount will
be reduced to 3.51 cents/kWh and the remainder will be left in
the reconciliation account and will earn a return. If the amount
to be recovered would cause the Access Charge to exceed 3.35
cents/kWh in any year after 1998, the amount will be reduced to
cause the Access Charge to equal 3.35 cents/kWh and the remainder
will be left in the reconciliation account and will earn a
return. However, any Reconciliation Account adjustments that
cause the annual Access Charge to increase or decrease by more
than 0.2 cents per kilowatthour over the prior year shall be
amortized with a carrying charge over the succeeding three years.
2.9(h) End of Year Account (Schedule 2, Page 2, Col. I)
------------------------------------------------ reflects the
ongoing balance in the reconciliation account. It reflects the
prior year's balance adjusted for
240
current year adjustments, return on the outstanding balance less
recoveries or payments in the current year.

The Standard Offer Auction
Proposed Design
It is the parties' intent that the bidding process for securing
standard offer service be as competitive as possible and proceed in a timely
manner. Therefore, based on the parties' current understanding of the
timeframe for the Retail Access Date and divestiture, the parties believe at
this time that the Final RFP for Standard Offer Service should be issued no
sooner than the execution of purchase and sale agreements on the sale or
transfer of Boston Edison's interest in Mystic 7 and New Boston 1 and 2 but,
in any event, no later than six months after the Retail Access Date.
A. Administrative Process and Time Line
The Standard Offer Auction (the "Auction") will be administered and
conducted via a common process for all distribution companies. Bids will
be submitted and evaluated through a Request for Proposal process. The
principal steps and approximate timing of the Auction are outlined below.
September 1997 - Preliminary RFP Issued
-------------- ----------------------
The Preliminary RFP will detail all of the major elements,
requirements and commercial terms and conditions of the final RFP
that will be issued in 1998. Boston Edison will work with other
NEPOOL distribution companies to try to establish common standards
that will facilitate suppliers administration of bids to different
utilities. Its purpose is to give potential bidders the necessary
information to determine whether they intend to participate in the
Auction. Specific pre-bid qualifications will be established
including an audited statement of financial qualifications and other
relevant information to ascertain a bidder's ability to perform.
The preliminary RFP will also establish NEPOOL membership as a
criterion for auction participation. Neither the terms of the
Preliminary RFP nor Final RFP shall require a bidder to hold title
to the power needed to fulfill its obligations under its bid.
Pre-bid applications including required bidder qualification
information are due by (a date to be specified in the Preliminary
RFP) along with a modest non-refundable administration fee of
$1,000.

April 1998 - Final RFP Issued (including a standard contract)
---------- ----------------
Boston Edison recognizes that there is a balance of objectives
between issuing the RFP early to promote early development of the
market and issuing the RFP after the Retail Access Date when the
commencement of the Standard Offer Obligation is known and the
initial migration of large customers from the Standard Offer can
be assessed.
May 1998 - Bids Due
-------- --------
Bids would be accepted only from pre-qualified bidders and must
include a deposit of $5,000 for each MWh/Hr the bidder proposes to
supply over the duration of the Standard Offer. For example, if a
bidder proposed to supply 500 MWh/Hr per year for seven years, its
deposit would total $17,500,000 ($5,000 x 500 MWh/Hr x 7 yrs). This
deposit is refunded in the event that a bidder is not selected. If
successful, at the bidder's election, the deposit can either be
refunded or applied toward the performance bond (described below).
June 1998 - Winning Bidders Selected
--------- ------------------------
Contracts are expected to be executed between bidders and the
distribution companies and become effective upon the bidders (now
considered "suppliers" in this description) establishing a
"performance bond" in the amount of $50,000 per MWh/Hr to be
supplied under the Standard Offer. The performance bond would be
returned to the supplier upon completion of its contractual
obligations.
Notwithstanding the above schedule, the timing of the Standard Offer
bidding process will be coordinated with generation divestiture and
the Retail Access Date as described in the introductory paragraph to
this Attachment 4.
In addition, the date for filing a List of Qualified Bidders with
the Department shall not precede the issuance of the Final RFP by
more than 60 days.
B. Important Auction Rules and Conditions
1. Minimum Bid Elements -
-------------------- In order to conduct a fair and effective
Auction, all bids from pre-qualified bidders must include a
"Percentage Discount Off the Distribution Company Rates" (the
"Discount") and the "Peak Demand Amount" as described and applied
below. These two elements will be the only criteria by which
winning bidders are chosen. All bids from pre-qualified bidders
will otherwise be considered to be equivalent.
2. The Auction Procedures -
---------------------- Boston Edison shall implement the auction
procedures described below for determining the suppliers of Standard
Offer Service. However, these procedures may be revised if
necessary to promote the following
260
goals: i) maximize the number of auction participants as a means
of optimizing discounts offered to Boston Edison; ii) ensure an
economically efficient process that will result in the highest
discounts appropriate to market conditions in Massachusetts; iii)
and minimize opportunities for collusion among bidders.
a. Brand Name Identification and Back Up Service Power Auction -
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is a zero discount bid that will supply power that is not
provided under sections b. or c. below. The successful bidder
will be entitled to have its brand name shown on the customer's
bill as the Back Up Service Power Provider. Where several bids
are received, the bidder that wins the highest quantities in b.
and c. below will be awarded the Back Up Service Contract.
b. Seven year Flat Discount Auction -
-------------------------------- This is a single, constant
discount to be in effect for all seven years of the Distribution
Company Rates, expressed as a percentage greater than 0%, with
larger discounts being viewed more favorably. Winning bidders
are to be paid based upon the next highest discount bid whether
determined by the Seven Year Flat Discount Auction or by the
lowest discount bid in the next best Alternative Individual
Auction Increment, discussed below (a second price or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
auction).(1) The bids in this auction shall be sealed until
the Alternative Individual Year Auction set forth below is
completed.
c. Alternative Individual Year Auction ("Alternative Auction") -
-----------------------------------
This Alternative Auction shall take place immediately following
the Seven Year Flat Discount Auction. Bidders will be required
to bid separately for each year, and unlike the Seven Year Flat
Discount Auction, a bid for any single year may not be
conditioned on success in any other year. Thus, the Alternative
Auction shall allow bidders to specify different discounts in
different years. Bid amounts must be in increments of 50
megawatthours per hour which will be delivered as specified
below. Prices in the Alternative Auction shall be open to other
bidders, but the identity of the bidders associated with the
prices will not be identified. The Alternative Auction will
continue for multiple rounds until the next bid fails to improve
the discount offered in the prior bid by one percent.
Following completion of the bidding, Boston Edison shall rank
the bids for each individual year, with larger discounts viewed
more favorably, and shall identify the best bids in each year
that would fill a 50 megawatthour per hour increment covering
all seven years of the purchase period. Boston Edison will then
repeat the process for as many increments as possible until the
bids no longer cover all seven years in the period.
[FN]
____________________
(1) For example, if the best four winning bids (out of 10 submitted) met the
distribution company's expected demand at Discounts of 12.5%, 10%, 9% and
7% respectively, the first winning bidder would receive a discount of 10%,
the second winning bidder 9%, the third 7%, and the fourth would receive
the Discount bid by the first losing bidder (who bid 6.5%).
261
d. Selection of Suppliers from Both Auctions -
----------------------------------------- The increments from
the Alternative Individual Year Auction will then be compared
to the Seven year Flat Discount Auction by assigning the
Alternative Individual Auction Increment with the lowest
discount bid in any single year of the increment. In the event
of ties, the earliest, highest discount shall have priority.
Suppliers in the Alternative Individual year Auction shall be
held to their bids, unlike the second price or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ auction
used in the Seven year Flat Discount Auction.
3. Payment by Distribution Company -
------------------------------- The distribution company is
responsible for paying suppliers at the following Distribution
Company Rates, reduced by the applicable Discount, for all energy
the supplier delivers (less losses) in the respective year. These
rates are flat annual values and do not include a demand or capacity
component and will not be adjusted for seasonal or time of day
factors.
Distribution Company Rates
--------------------------
1998 3.2 cents/kWh
1999 3.5
2000 3.8
2001 3.8
2002 4.2
2003 4.7
2004 5.1
For example, if a supplier bid a Discount of 5.5% and delivered
500 GWH to ultimate customers in 1999, that supplier would receive
$16,537,500 from the distribution company (3.5 cents/kWh x (1-.055)
x 500 GWH x 1,000,000 kWh/GWH x .01 $/cents).
A fuel index adjustment mechanism, applied to Distribution Company
Rates, may provide additional revenues to suppliers in the event
that large, unexpected increases in market oil and gas prices occur.
This adjustment is further described below.
4. Peak Demand Amount -
------------------ Bids shall specify a Peak Demand Amount
expressed in MWh/Hr that the bidder commits to supply to the
distribution company in each year of the Standard Offer. This
amount represents the nominal maximum amount of energy a supplier
is responsible to provide the distribution company in any given
hour as measured at the ultimate customer's meter and accounting
for all distribution and transmission losses. The amount of the
bid deposit and the performance bond will be determined based on
the Peak Demand Amount times the number of years that the Peak
Demand Amount will be provided. Suppliers are responsible for all
electric delivery losses and any necessary transmission arrangements
and costs. The minimum bid amount will be 50 MWh/Hr.
262
5. Right to Bid a Joint Supply -
--------------------------- Prequalified bidders will have the
right, subject to any provision of law, to submit joint bids
pursuant to which one supplier may provide less than the full
amount of Delivered Energy as long as the other suppliers on the
joint bid provide the remainder of the Delivered Energy obligation,
and the total performance bond is posted and in effect for the seven
years.
6. Higher Discounts Ensure a Right to a Longer Term of Supply -
----------------------------------------------------------
Customers have the right to leave the Standard Offer at any time
to receive service in the competitive energy market (subject to a
minimal notice provisions). In addition, residential and G-1
customers have a limited right to return to Standard Offer service
in the first year after the retail access date. As such, the amount
of energy required from suppliers under the Standard Offer may
likely decline over time. Supplier(s) who are in the increment with
the highest Assigned Discount will have the right to provide energy
for the longest period of time. With declining customer load due to
departures from Standard Offer service, lower Discount suppliers
whose Delivered Energy amount exceeds the distribution company's
needs will have their Delivered Energy amounts reduced and Standard
Offer supply contracts ultimately terminated.
7. Load Responsibility and Allocation -
---------------------------------- Suppliers are responsible for
a percentage of the distribution company's Standard Offer real-time
customer energy demand (minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day)
including but not limited to any installed or operating reserves or
other requirement required by NEPOOL or any Independent System
Operator. This includes changes in customer demand for any reason,
including but not limited to seasonal factors, normal daily load
patterns, increased usage, demand side management activities,
extremes in weather, etc. The only exception is for the loss of
Standard Offer customers as described in the section immediately
above. Responsibility is allocated to a supplier based on its
Delivered Energy bid divided by the estimated hourly Standard Offer
energy demand of the distribution company.
8. Responsibility for Electric Delivery Losses -
------------------------------------------- Suppliers will provide
all losses, in kilowatts and kilowatt-hours, from the supplier's
generation sources to the customer meter.
C. Adjustment to Distribution Company Rates
Distribution Company Rates, in B.3. above, are subject to upward
adjustment if there are substantial increases in the market prices of
No. 6 residual fuel oil (1% sulfur) and natural gas after 1999, as
described in the following section. If invoked, prices would change as
a function of the amount by which market fuel prices exceed the
predetermined price "trigger" levels. These triggers have been set to
allow a large dead-band in which no increases to Distribution Company
Rates would apply.
263
D. Standard Offer Fuel Index
The Customer Rate in effect for a given billing month is multiplied by a
"Fuel Adjustment" that is set equal to 1.0 and thus has no impact on
Distribution Company Rates unless the "Market Gas Price" plus "Market Oil
----
price" for the billing month exceeds the "Fuel Trigger Point" then in
effect, where:
Market Gas Price is the average of the values of "Gas Index" for the
----------------
most recent twelve months through and including the billing month,
where:
Gas Index is the average of the daily settlement prices for the last
---------
three days that the NYMEX Contract (as defined below) for the month
of delivery trades as reported in the "Wall Street Journal",
expressed in dollars per MMBtu. NYMEX Contract shall mean the New
York Mercantile Exchange Natural Gas Futures Contract as approved
by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for the purchase and
sale of natural gas at ▇▇▇▇▇ Hub;
Market Oil Price is the average of the values of "Oil Index" for the
----------------
most recent twelve months through and including the billing month, where:
Oil Index is the average for the month of the daily low quotations
---------
for cargo delivery of 1.0% sulfur No. 6 residual fuel oil into New
York harbor, as reported in "▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Pilgrim U.S. Markets can" in
dollars per barrel and converted to dollars per MMBtu by dividing
by 6.3; and
If the indices referred to above should become obsolete or no longer
suitable, the distribution company shall file alternate indices with
the Department.
Fuel Trigger Point is the following amounts, expressed in dollars per
------------------
MMBtu, applicable for all months in the specified calendar year:
2000 $5.35/MMBtu
2001 $5.35
2002 $6.09
2003 $7.01
2004 $7.74
In the event that the Fuel Trigger Point is exceeded, the Fuel Adjustment
value for the billing month is determined based according to the following
formula:
Fuel = (Market Gas Price + $.60/MMBtu) + (Market Oil Price + $.04/MMBtu)
Adjustment -----------------------------------------------------------------
Fuel Trigger Point + $.60 + $.04/MMBtu
Where:
264
Market Gas Price, Market Oil Price and Fuel Trigger Point are as
defined above. The values of $.60 and $.04/MMBtu represent for gas
and oil respectively, estimated basis differentials or market costs
of transportation from the point where the index is calculated to a
proxy power plant in the New England market.
For example, if at a point in the year 2002 the Market Gas Price and
Market Oil price total $6.50 ($3.50/MMBtu plus $3.00/MMBtu respectively),
the Fuel Trigger Point of 6.09 would be exceeded. In the case the Fuel
Adjustment value would be
($3.50 + $.60/MMBtu) + ($3.00 + $.04/MMBtu) = 1.0609
----------------------------------------------------
$6.09 + $.60 + $.04/MMBtu
The Customer Rate paid to the distribution company is increased by this
Fuel Adjustment factor for the billing month, becoming 4.4548 cents/kWh
(4.2 x 1.0609).
In subsequent months the same comparisons are made and, if applicable, a
Fuel Adjustment determined.
Incremental revenues received by the distribution company as the result
of a Fuel Adjustment would be allocated to Standard Offer suppliers in
proportion to the Standard Offer energy provided by a supplier to the
distribution company in the applicable billing month.

Under the retail access tariffs, Boston Edison shall establish
performance standards for reliability and customer service. The standards are
designed so Boston Edison will incur various penalties depending upon its
level of performance below an agreed upon target level. The standards are set
based on averages of historic data, as shown on page 3 of this Attachment.
SERVICE RELIABILITY PERFORMANCE STANDARD
The Service Reliability Performance Standard shall be defined as the
duration of outages per customer served. An outage is the unscheduled loss of
electric service to more than one customer for more than five minutes. The
duration per customer served is the total length of time in minutes that an
average customer is without service per year. Excluded from reliability
measurement are extraordinary events, such as major disasters, earthquakes,
wildfires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, wind storms or other
weather events beyond the control of the Company.

Electric Utility Restructuring Plan
-----------------------------------
Boston Edison Company - Proposal for Environmental Component
------------------------------------------------------------
I. Purpose and Outline
-------------------
The purpose of the environmental component of an electric industry
restructuring plan is to provide a means such that a competitive industry
structure supports and furthers the efforts of environmental regulators to
reduce the environmental impacts of electricity generation. There are
multiple approaches towards attaining this objective. A few of these are:
1. Continued implementation of Clean Air Act programs and
requirements. Clearly there has already been substantial
environmental improvement in recent years through programs such
as EPA's Acid Rain Program and significant additional improvement
is virtually certain through implementation of state and regional
ozone control programs. These programs will continue,
irrespective of industry restructuring, and it is not
unreasonable to anticipate even further requirements as a result
of national ambient air quality standards review or Clean Air Act
reauthorization.
2. Old source review approaches such as that laid out in the
restructuring proposal filed in DPU 96-25, and which is also
described below.
3. Generation performance standards (GPS) approaches based upon
establishment of regional caps and implementation of market
trading systems for allowances issued under those trading caps.
4. Environmental comparability approaches based upon level playing
field principles applied to generation within a state or region
as well as to electricity imports into a state or region.
5. Unit, or system specific commitments for emissions reductions
consistent with one or more of the above generic approaches.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ environmental proposal draws from each of these approaches.
We remain committed to continued implementation of programs and requirements
pursuant to the Clean Air Act. We have also reviewed the old source
performance standard approach as set forth in the settlement filing in DPU
96-25. Boston Edison and its affected units are already in substantial
compliance with emissions levels that would result from this approach.
Section II, below, reiterates this generic proposal and Section III, below,
contains Boston Edison's commitment to this proposal for its affected units.
Finally, Boston Edison has also reviewed approaches being developed to
implement Generation Performance Standards for NOx on a regional basis as well
as to incorporate principles of environmental comparability. These and other
elements which go beyond current Clean Air Act requirements or the old source
review approach are addressed in Section IV, below.
271
II. Generic Old Source Proposal
---------------------------
1. The program is designed to require all older fossil-fueled
electric generating units throughout the U.S. to meet "old source
performance standards" ("OSPS") for NOx and SO2 on January 1 of
the year following the year a unit becomes 40 years old. The 40
year time period starts from the year a unit commenced commercial
operation. For those units that are 40 years or older in the
year the program becomes effective, they will be required to meet
OSPS by January 1 of the following year. The end point for this
program is the year 2010; therefore, all units will be assumed to
be 40 years old on or before December 31, 2009.
2. As of the date the program becomes effective, each existing
operating unit will receive "allowances" for that unit's
emissions of NOx and SO2. Each allowance equals one ton of
allowable emissions. Unit-specific allowances are aggregated
to become a utility company-wide cap.
3. New units or repowered units subject to New Source Performance
Standards, that commence commercial operation after the date the
program is implemented, will not receive allowances; and thus
not be included under the program. Emissions from new or
repowered units will not be included in determining a company's
overall cap of NOx or SO2.
4. Unit-specific allowances are calculated as follows:
a. For units 40 years old or older, or by the year 2010:
Yearly Net Electrical Conversion
Generation X Heat Rate X Emission Rate X Factor = Tons/Year
(kWh) (Btu/kWh) (lbs./MMBtu) 1
----------
9
2x10
The elements of the formula are derived as follows:
i) Yearly Net Electrical Generation = average kWh
of the highest eight (8) of ten (10) year period
of 1986-1995, as reported on U.S. Department of
Energy Form EIA - 767, Schedule IV.
ii) Heat Rate = 10,000 Btu/kWh
iii) Emission Rate = 0.30 lbs/MMBtu for SO2
0.15 lbs/MMBtu for NOx
PROVIDED, however, that if a unit's required emission rate
is lower than the rates listed above, the lowest, most
stringent emission rate applies.
272
iv) Conversion Factor = factor required to convert
differing measures used in formula to result in
tons per year of emissions.
b. For units less than 40 years old:
NOx --- Same formula as in 4.a. above, except that
emission rate is set at the regulatory limit.
SO2 --- Allowances as allocated under Acid Rain Program,
Title IV of federal Clean Air Act.
5. Each utility company may meet its allowance cap by any
combination of control technologies, fuel switching, unit
retirements, operational changes and/or retirements of purchased
or surplus allowances. Selection of any one or a combination of
more than one of these options to meet the company cap will be at
the sole discretion of the utility company.
6. SO2 allowances may be traded freely in the market as allowed
under the Clean Air Act, Title IV Acid Rain Program regulations.
Unused allowances may be banked and carried forward also as
allowed under the Acid Rain Program regulations.
7. It is anticipated that a NOx trading program will be established
similar to the federal SO2 program. Unused NOx allowances also
may be banked, provided, however, that allowance withdrawals from
the bank may be subject to a "flow control" mechanism as
specified in the Ozone Transport Commission model rule.
8. With respect to jointly-owned units, their participation in the
program will be governed in the same manner as jointly-owned
units rate governed under the federal Acid Rain Program.
9. The final emission reductions applicable on January 1, 2010, will
be subject to the following "trigger" mechanisms which assure
that a substantive portion of the national emissions inventory
is subject to this program:
a. If in calendar year 2005, the actual NOx emissions of the
emissions inventory in the Ozone Transport Region ("OTR")
and in the East Central Area Reliability Coordination
Agreement ("ECAR") and the Mid-America Interconnected
Network ("MAIN") of the North American Electric Reliability
Council (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the
Region") are reduced by no less than 50% from the calendar
year 1996 actual NOx emissions of the emissions inventory in
the Region, then implementation of the OSPS for NOx will be
on January 1, 2010. If a reduction of NOx emissions of 50%
or greater is not achieved in calendar years 2005, the
actual emissions of the emissions inventory in the Region
will be measured in each successive calendar year until such
time as the prescribed level of
273
reduction from the year 1996 baseline is actually achieved,
and implementation of the OSPS NOx requirements will be five
(5) years from the year the emission reduction of 50% or
greater is actually achieved.
b. If the SO2 allowances allocated under Title IV of the
federal Clean Air Act to the emissions inventory in the
Region in the year 2007 are 50% or less of the SO2
allowance allocation made in the year 2000, then
implementation of the OSPS for SO2 will be on January 1,
2010. If a reduction of 50% or greater is not achieved in
the year 2007, the SO2 allocation will be reviewed in each
successive year until such time as the prescribed level of
reduction from the year 2000 baseline is actually achieved,
and implementation of the OSPS SO2 requirement will be three
(3) years from the year the reduction in allowance
allocation of 50% or greater from the year 2000 baseline is
actually achieved.
The NOx- and SO2-specific triggers described above will be
implemented independent of one another.
III. Boston Edison Specific Requirements Under Old Source Proposal
------------- -----------------------------------------------
1. The specific emission reductions included in this proposal apply
to the following major fossil-fueled power plants:
Mystic Station, Everett, MA
Unit Nos. 4, 5, 6 and & 7
New Boston Station, South Boston, MA
Unit Nos., 1 and 2
Boston Edison Company is the owner and operator of the Mystic and
New Boston Stations. Boston Edison may meet its allowance cap by
any combination of control technologies, fuel switching, unit
retirements, operations changes and/or retirements of purchased
or surplus allowances.
2. The program start date for Mystic and New Boston Stations is
2000. The dates when the Mystic and New Boston units will be
subject to OSPS are as follows:
Unit No. Mystic Station New Boston Station
-------- -------------- ------------------
1 - 2005(1)
2 - 2005
4 2000(2) -
5 2000
6 2000 -
7 2010(3) -
[FN]
____________________
(1) Unit #1 is 40 years old in 2005, Unit # 2 in 2007.
(2) The average 40 year anniversary for the three units is 2000.
(3) Unit #7's 40 year anniversary is 2015.
274
3. The emission profile for all the Mystic and New Boston units
under the program, absent any triggers described in Section II.9
above and Section III.5 below, are illustrated in the attached
graphs.
4. With respect to SO2, as can be seen from the emission profile
graph, Boston Edison's annual system emissions are currently well
below the cap established by the program. Even with increased
utilization of fuel oil above current levels, the annual system
emissions will be at or below the program cap.
5. With respect to NOx, the following additional trigger applies to
Boston Edison:
. On January 1, 2003, New Boston Unit Nos. 1 & 2 will receive
allowances calculated pursuant to Section II.4.a. of this
proposal if in calendar year 2000 the actual NOx emissions
of the emissions inventory in the region is reduced by no
less than 50% from the emissions of the emissions inventory
in the Region in the baseline year of 1990. If a reduction
of 50% or greater is not achieved in calendar year 2000, the
actual emissions of the emissions inventory will be measured
in each successive calendar year until such time as the
prescribed level of reduction from the year 1990 baseline is
actually achieved. New Boston Unit Nos., 1 & 2 will receive
allowances pursuant to Section II.4.a of this proposal in
the third year after the prescribed reductions in the
emissions inventory are actually achieved; provided,
however, that in no event shall the date the units are
subject to the OSPS requirements of Section II.4 go beyond
January 1, 2005 for New Boston Unit Nos. 1 & 2.
IV. Additional Commitments
----------------------
1. It is the intention that all environmental requirements herein
pertaining to specific units would carry forward in the event
such units were divested by Boston Edison. Provisions pertaining
to the sale of specific units, when considering the existence of
requirements imposed herein on a system-wide basis, will be
developed in cooperation with the parties to effectuate the
intent of this proposal.
2. Boston Edison is prepared to support and commit to the further
reductions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions as defined under
the recently proposed Generation Performance Standards (GPS) Cap
and Trade Program. The EPA and other federal agencies appear to
agree that additional controls for NOx are required within the
Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) region in order to reduce
the current 3 million tons of NOx emissions each ozone season to
1 million tons or less. Based on the best available scientific
information, there is evidence and support for speedier
reductions than called for in the OTC MOU, and the GPS program
accomplishes this.
Lowering emission caps cannot be done on a state-by-state basis.
It must be done by advancing more aggressive national or regional
environmental goals. The 1 Million Ton NOx GPS Cap & Trade
Program would bring all utilities in the OTAG Region into
compliance with these desired emission reduction goals over a
three year timeframe. Specifically, the program calls for:
275
By May 1, 1999 all utility emissions would be capped at 1.6
million tons
By May 1, 2000 the cap would be reduced to 1.3 million tons
By May 1, 2001 the cap would be reduced to 1.0 million ton
The program establishes annual ozone season unit emission rates,
based on the three year phased reduction cap, by which unit
allowances may be allocated. NOx allowances for the ozone season
would be allocated to Boston Edison units in an amount determined
by the formulas set forth in the GPS program. Since this is a
regional program and since current emissions from Boston Edison
units are well below those of other regional utilities, our
commitment to implement such reductions would be conditioned upon
adoption of the GPS program either in Massachusetts, Connecticut
and one other New England state or in Massachusetts and four
other OTR states upwind of Massachusetts.

I. Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC" or "Commission") in
its Order 888 proposed a seven factor test to differentiate between
transmission facilities subject to FERC's jurisdiction and distribution
facilities subject to state rate-making authority. FERC has affirmed its
exclusive authority over all transmission and distribution facilities for
wholesale wheeling and the transmission component of unbundled interstate
retail wheeling. The seven-factor test set forth in Order 888 is designed to
identify the characteristics of local distribution systems that differentiate
them from transmission systems. The seven-part test proposed by the
Commission is intended to be evaluated on a case by case basis and is based
on the actual use of the distribution and transmission system.
Boston Edison Company ("BECO") is a traditional vertically integrated
public utility serving a compact urban population center immediately
surrounding the City of Boston. In anticipation of regulatory changes
designed to promote competition at the wholesale and retail levels, the
Company was functionally reorganized on January 1, 1996 to segregate nuclear
and fossil generation, retail distribution, and transmission activities under
the BECO Corporate umbrella, along with several unregulated subsidiaries.
▇▇▇▇ concludes that its existing organizational structure is in
accordance with the Commission's definition of transmission and local
distribution facilities based on actual use of the transmission and
distribution systems. Separate business units have been established for
Nuclear and Fossil Generation functions. The wires business has been further
segregated within the Electric Delivery Section of the Customer Business Unit.
The Electric Delivery Section
280
includes the retail transmission and distribution resources which are subject
to state rate-making jurisdiction today. Within the Electric Delivery
Section, all transmission facilities are now consolidated within the
Transmission Group.
281
II. Overview of Federal and State Jurisdictional Requirements per FERC
Order 888
In Order 888, the FERC addresses its exclusive jurisdictional claim
over unbundled transmission in interstate commerce used by public utilities
for retail wheeling up to the point of local distribution. The Commission
also exercised exclusive jurisdiction over all facilities, whether
transmission or distribution, used for wholesale wheeling. To determine the
jurisdictional bright line for retail access purposes, the Commission proposed
the seven factor test of local distribution. This test of functional and
technical characteristics of facilities would define local distribution
facilities.
Under Order 888, the Commission will defer jurisdiction over local
distribution facilities to state commissions if the state commission applies
the seven criteria set forth in Order 888. Accordingly, this report is
prepared for use before the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, as
well as FERC, when evaluating the jurisdictional separation between
transmission and distribution facilities.
282
III. Definition of Boston Edison Company Distribution System
The local distribution systems of Boston Edison Company are typically
5, 15, or 25 kV class systems. These systems are radial in nature, serving
retail load in the vicinity of the local distribution facilities. The local
distribution systems are typically supplied from the 115 kV transmission
system through one or more step-down transformers. Metering that measures
the total kilowatt hours flowing into each local distribution area at each
delivery point is on the low voltage side of the step-down transformers.
Attachment 1 illustrates a typical interface between the transmission and
distribution systems.
Boston Edison utilizes four types of common distribution systems for
delivery of energy at the retail level. All four types are served from the
115 kV transmission system through one or more step-down transformers. The
four types of distribution systems are:
1. Radial 4 kV or 14 kV distribution - radial distribution system serving
retail customers directly through their service transformers.
2. Primary Network - A system of 14 kV feeders supplying local Primary
Network Units consisting of 14/4 kV transformers which supply a network
of 4 kV distribution circuits. Each end of each 4 kV distribution
circuit is supplied from a different Primary Network Unit.
3. Secondary Network - A system of 14 kV feeders supplying transformers
stepping the voltage down to either (a) 120/208 v secondaries connected
in a network of secondary mains or to (b) 277/480 v secondaries
connected in a spot network supplying individual
283
major customers. Boston Edison Company operates six major network
substations which each supply a different geographic area of the
downtown portion of the city of Boston.
4. Distribution System Supply Lines - A system of 14 kV or 24 kV feeders
supplying individual major customers at the 14 kV level or supplying
14 kV and 4 kV distribution substations.
Distribution circuits of Type 1 are radial by definition. Distribution
Systems Types 2 and 3, primary and secondary networks, involve local
networking at the low voltage level for the purposes of improving distribution
system reliability. Although power may be supplied from more than one
transmission/distribution interface, power flow is always into the geographic
area served by the distribution facilities. Distribution facilities are not
used to transmit bulk power from one geographic area to another. The power
is consumed within the distribution service area. The radial distribution
circuits often terminate at an open tie switch to an adjacent circuit.
However, opening or closing tie points on the distribution system has no
effect on the integrity or reliability of the bulk transmission system.
Attachment 2 is a list of Boston Edison Company transmission/
distribution interface points. This attachment identifies each supply point
by station number and location, transmission voltage, distribution voltage,
and the type of distribution system supplied from that location.
The distribution systems of the Boston Edison Company meet the seven
part test for distribution systems as described below:
284
1. Local distribution facilities are in close proximity to retail
customers.
Boston Edison Company's distribution facilities are in close
proximity to retail customers, as these are the circuits that emanate
from local distribution substations and serve customers in a limited
geographical area. These circuits typically are installed overhead
or underground along public roads.
Attachment 3 shows an example of a radial 4 kV distribution
circuit. Attachment 4 is an example of a radial 14 kV distribution
circuit. A 14 kV distribution circuit typically covers a larger area
than a 4 kV circuit but is still local in nature.
Attachment 5 shows an example of the territory served by a
typical 4 kV distribution substation. This particular distribution
system serves customers in a portion of the Town of Framingham, plus
a small number of customers in several adjacent towns.
Boston Edison Company operates three separate 4 kV primary
networks located in Roxbury, Somerville and Brookline. Each of these
primary networks serve a separate geographic portion of these
communities. The company also operates six separate secondary networks
in the City of Boston. Each secondary network serves a different
geographic portion of the City. There are no electrical ties of
distribution voltage between secondary networks.
The 14 kV and 24 kV distribution system supply lines, which are
the fourth type of distribution system, emanate from a 115/14 kV or
115/24 kV step-down station and supply large, individual customers
directly at 14 kV or supply the Company's 14 kV or 4 kV distribution
substations. These distribution substations directly supply the local
area
285
load. The Company operates more than 500 4 kV distribution circuits
and more than 200 14 kV distribution circuits directly serving retail
customers.
2. Local distribution facilities are primarily radial in character.
The distribution facilities of the Boston Edison Company are
primarily radial in character, and serve a limited area from one or
more transmission supply points. These facilities typically benefit
the local area, and do not affect the operation or integrity of the
transmission system other than as local load delivery points.
As mentioned earlier, radial 4 kV and 14 kV distribution
circuits are radial by definition but may have normally-open ties with
similar circuits. These tie points, along with switches embedded in
the bodies of these circuits, are either manually operated or radio
controlled and may be used to isolate portions of circuits and restore
service to customers in the event of an outage.
Primary networks consist of a set of 4 kV feeders which
collectively supply a single local area. There are often normally-open
tie switches to adjoining radial 4 kV circuits. The three Primary
Networks are supplied radially from 115/14 kV step-down stations.
Secondary networks consist of a set of 14 kV feeders from the
respective 115/14 kV step-down stations, which radially supply a single
local area. The downtown area of the City of Boston is divided into
six separate local secondary networks. Embedded into these secondary
networks are smaller spot networks which radially supply large,
individual customers. There are no ties between secondary networks
and between spot networks.
286
The 14 kV and 24 kV distribution system supply lines perform two
functions. First, they are used to radially supply individual major
customers directly at 14 kV from the 115/14 kV step-down stations.
Generally, a large customer will be supplied by two or more 14 kV
feeders. The second feeder is often used to provide backup. The
second function of distribution system supply lines is to radially
supply 14/4 kV substations or local 14 kV distribution switching
substations. In this case, the 14/4 kV substations and the 14 kV
switching substations in turn radially supply 4 kV and 14 kV radial
distribution circuits which supply the local customers.
Attachments 6 through 20 show the 14 kV and 24 kV distribution
system supply feeders and a symbol sheet containing an explanation of
the devices shown in the system diagrams. Also shown on these diagrams
are the transmission interface substations and the 4 kV distribution
substations.
3. Power flows into local distribution systems; it rarely, if ever, flow
out.
Power flow is into a local distribution system, and is metered
at the transmission/distribution interface. More than one supply point
may exist. Because these systems are radial in nature, the net power
flow will be into the system to serve the local load. If generation
exists on the distribution system, separate billing metering facilities
would be located at the local generation facility. Attachment 21 shows
an example of where generation resides on a 14 kV distribution facility
which also provides service to retail customers. The generators are
shown as J1, J2, and J3 on Attachment 21.
4. When power enters a local distribution system, it is not re-consigned
or transported on to some other market.
287
Boston Edison Company's distribution systems serve retail end-
use customers. In cases where distribution facilities are also used to
serve wholesale customers, that portion of the cost of those facilities
used for wholesale services would be assigned to the wholesale
transaction. Separate metering is located at the wholesale customer to
segregate wholesale deliveries from local distribution deliveries.
Attachment 22 shows an example where the wholesale customer, Wellesley
Municipal, is served from the 14 kV bus at Station 292, a 14 kV
distribution facility. The 14 kV bus also serves retail end-use
customers in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇/Needham area. The 14 kV feeders supplying
Wellesley Municipal are shown as lines 41-212 and 41-213 on Attachment
22.
5. Power entering a local distribution system is consumed in a
comparatively restricted geographical area.
Boston Edison Company's distribution systems serve load in a
comparatively restricted geographical area. The geographical area
served by a local distribution system depends on the load density of
the area. For example, more than one 14 kV radial distribution circuit
would normally be required to serve a small rural town. In general,
4 kV distribution circuits have lower capacity than 14 kV circuits:
therefore, a 4 kV circuit serves an even smaller geographical area.
As mentioned previously, each of the three primary networks serves a
fraction of one community. Each of the secondary networks serves
approximately one-sixth of the downtown Boston area.
6. Meters are based at the transmission/distribution interface to measure
flows in to the local distribution system.
288
Metering to measure flows into the local distribution systems of
the Boston Edison Company is based on the low voltage side of the step-
down transformers. This metering is driven by relay accuracy
instrument transformers. These meter readings will be adjusted to
include the estimated losses in the step-down transformers. The
adjusted meter readings represent the flow from the transmission system
into the distribution system at the actual transmission/distribution
interface.
7. Local distribution systems will be of reduced voltage.
The local distribution voltages of the Boston Edison Company are
4 kV, 14 kV, and 24 kV. This compares to Boston Edison Company's
transmission system voltages of 115 kV, 230 kV and 345 kV.
289
IV. Definition of the Boston Edison Company Transmission System
The function of transmission facilities is to integrate generation
resources over large geographical areas and deliver the power to local
distribution supply systems. The Boston Edison Company transmission system
is used to transmit power from generation resources located on its system or
on the transmission systems of others to the loads served by the distribution
system. The transmission system is interconnected in multiple locations to
the transmission systems of neighboring utilities. Transmission lines are not
directly connected to retail customers. The transmission system is defined as
the 115 kV and above transmission lines, the 115 kV circuit breakers, busses
and associated substation facilities, and the transformers which interconnect
the 115 kV, 230 kV, and 345 kV systems. The 115/14 kV and 115/24 kV step-down
transformers and associated 14 kV and 24 kV switchgear are considered to be
part of the distribution system.
