B. REACTIVE SUPPLY AND VOLTAGE CONTROL FROM GENERATION SOURCES SERVICE The rates below apply to Transmission Customers taking Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from Generation Sources (GSR) Service from BPA. These rates apply to both firm and non-firm transmission service. Transmission arrangements on the Network, the Southern Intertie, and the Montana Intertie are each charged separately for Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from Generation Sources Service. 1. RATES The rates for GSR Service will be calculated for each quarter, beginning October 2017, according to the formulas below. The rates will be posted on BPA’s website and updated as needed. Rates for Long-Term PTP and NT Service and for Short-Term Monthly, Weekly and Daily Service (sections a. and b.(1), below) shall be calculated to three decimal places. Rates for Hourly Service (section b.(2), below) shall be calculated to two decimal places. a. Long-Term Firm PTP Transmission Service and NT Service The rate, in dollars per kilowatt per month ($/kW/mo), shall not exceed: 4(Nq + Uq-1 + Zq-1) bd 4Sq – Where: bd = 501,314 MW-mo = Average of forecasted FY 2018 and FY 2019 GSR Service billing determinants. Each annual billing determinant is the sum of the 12 monthly billing determinants. Nq = Non-Federal GSR cost ($) to be paid by BPA a FERC-approved rate during the relevant quarter, as anticipated prior to the quarter. = Payments of non-Federal GSR cost ($) made in the preceding quarter(s) that were not included in the effective rate for the preceding quarter(s). Any refunds received by BPA would reduce this cost. Uq1 is a true-up for any deviation of non-Federal GSR costs from the amount used in a previous quarter’s GSR rate calculation. For calculating the GSR rate effective October 1, 2017, Uq-1 is zero. Sq = Reduction in effective billing demand (MW-mo) for approved self-supply of reactive during the relevant quarter, as anticipated prior to the quarter.
