Box 71249 Fairbanks, AK 99707-1249 Subject: Legislative Budget Requirements Existing Intertie Dear Brad: Regarding the Power Sales Agreement requirement for AEA to submit the existing intertie budget to the legislature, AEA has submitted a FY95 budget to the legislature. This budget included AEA costs for the intertie but not contractual service costs or participant costs. This approach is different than previous budget submissions by AEA, which included all intertie costs. However, the new approach has_ been approved by Department of Commerce and Office of Management and Budget, and substantially simplifies the process. The IOC budget group will, therefore, not have to be concerned with this aspect of the budget process. Please let me know if you have any questions.

We have had legal counsel review issues raised in your letter. Based upon our legal review, our opinion is: 1. MEA does not have participant status nor does’ the agreement contemplate construction and operation by a non-participating utility. 2. Construction and operation by a non-participant does require contract changes. In consideration of the above items, we concur that a special meeting should be arranged to discuss the contractual issues as well as impacts on the wheeling rate and MITCR. We will be pleased to meet at your earliest convenience. \tho” Very truly yours, On W seen \O5 > CEM ‘oe WE mead wo \\ \vcrriaker . P.E. a Dennis V.

P.O. Box 71249 Fairbanks, AK 99707-1249 Subject: Controller Duties Golden Valley feels that the Alaska Intertie will be a more efficient operation if the following philosophy is followed: One of the controllers will actually operate the intertie facilities and schedule all transfers. The concept of two controllers for checks and balances is appropriate and healthy, and we strongly endorse this concept as long as it is accomplished in the most efficient manner. With these thoughts in mind, we submit what we feel should be the controller duties. Intertie Scheduling - This involves coordination with all affected utilities for reserves and energy to insure proper intertie loading. This also includes var scheduling as required to maintain adequate voltage levels, accounting for all schedules, and preparing a monthly billing for the utilities. (one controller) Auditing is to be done by the other controller or the State as required. Actual Intertie Operation - Scheduling outages for maintenance, restoration of intertie after forced outage, normal operation of intertie equipment. (one controller) The other controller to assist as required and audit performance of duties. GOLDEN VALLEY ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION INC. Controller Duties September 7, 1993 Page 2 Time Error Correction - Coordination between all generating facilities to adjust time error as required. (one controller) R e i s - Monitoring reserve requirements for all participants, both spinning and operating reserves. Maintaining records of required vs. actual, preparing monthly report to the IOC for review and action as necessary. (one controller) Note: Due to the number of utilities involved, each utility should be responsible for maintaining spinning reserve records for comparison and action as required.
