Re: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket No. ER17-1916-000 Submission of Transmission Revenue Requirement for Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc.

Dear Secretary Bose:

Pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act ("FPA"), 16 U.S.C. § 824d, and Section 35.13 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ("Commission" or "FERC") regulations, 18 C.F.R. § 35.13, Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("SMECO") submits this filing to the Commission in connection with its formal integration into PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") as a Transmission Owner, effective January 1, 2017. In this filing, SMECO submits revisions to the PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff ("PJM Tariff")1

to add a stated Transmission Revenue Requirement ("TRR") for transmission service involving the 230 kilovolt ("kV") facilities of SMECO over which PJM now has operational control.2 As indicated in Section IV of this filing, SMECO requests that the effective date of its TRR align with the effective date for SMECO's new distribution rates. SMECO expects to be filing distribution rate changes with the Maryland Public Service Commission (“PSC”) on or about August 1, 2017 and anticipates that the changes to those rates will be effective in February 2018. In addition, through this filing, SMECO proposes to modify Schedule 1A to the PJM Tariff to establish a charge to recover costs associated with FERC Account 561 (Control Center Costs) that are allocated to SMECO's 230 kV facilities.

While the Commission does not have jurisdiction over SMECO under Sections 205 and 206 of the FPA, as SMECO is not a FERC-jurisdictional public utility, the Commission does retain jurisdiction over PJM's rates. In this regard, the Commission must have adequate information to ensure that the integration of SMECO's TRR does not cause PJM's rates to become unjust or unreasonable. For this reason, SMECO hereby submits the attached materials for filing with the Commission. The enclosed testimony and exhibits substantiate the justness and reasonableness of the TRR proposed herein and were prepared by and provided by SMECO.

I. Background

a. PJM

PJM is a FERC-approved Regional Transmission Organization ("RTO") tasked with operating a competitive wholesale electricity market and managing the reliability of its transmission grid.3 PJM oversees open access transmission service over transmission lines covering all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.4 PJM's Tariff specifies a TRR for each PJM transmission zone.5 The TRR for each pricing zone used in the calculation of Network Integration Transmission Service ("NITS") rates is set forth in Attachment H to the PJM Tariff. Pursuant to Section 9.1(b) of the PJM Tariff and Article 7.3.2 of PJM's Consolidated Transmission Owners Agreement ("TOA"), PJM, as the Administrator of the PJM Tariff, has agreed to submit on behalf of Transmission Owners filings for which the Transmission Owners have exclusive FPA Section 205 filing rights. That protocol was adopted to coincide with the effective date of PJM's electronic baseline filing in compliance with Order No. 714 (124 F.E.R.C. ¶ 61,270) issued September 19, 2008.

b. SMECO

SMECO is a customer-owned rural electric cooperative organized as a not-for-profit Maryland corporation, with headquarters in Hughesville, Maryland, and a regional office in Leonardtown, Maryland. SMECO serves approximately 160,000 customers located in all or a portion of the following four counties in Maryland: Prince George's County, Charles County, St. Mary's County, and Calvert County.6 Because SMECO is a rural electric cooperative with annual sales of less than 4,000,000 MWhs, SMECO is not currently FERC-jurisdictional.7

SMECO's transmission facilities consist of 90.4 miles of 230 kV line and associated facilities. All of SMECO's interconnections with the PJM system are through Potomac Electric Power Company ("PEPCO") and are located wholly within the PEPCO Zone. Four of those interconnections (Burches Hill Switching Station, Farmington Switching Station, PEPCO Morgantown Switching Station, and Chalk Point Switching Station) serve as interconnection points with SMECO’s 69 kV system, which is not the subject of this filing, and the other three

interconnection points (Hawkins Gate Switching Station, Aquasco Switching Station, and Ryceville Switching Station) are at 230 kV.

In 2016, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation ("NERC") determined that SMECO's 230 kV facilities should be considered part of the Bulk Electric System ("BES") and, therefore, subject to BES obligations.8 As a result, NERC required SMECO to register as a Transmission Owner. On January 23, 2017, SMECO registered as a Transmission Owner with NERC.

NERC requires a Transmission Operator to operate and control BES facilities, which are, in this case, SMECO’s 230 kV facilities. As SMECO is not a Transmission Operator, it needed to contract with an entity to perform Transmission Operator ("TOP") functions. PJM performs TOP functions for nearly all transmission owners and for nearly all the transmission facilities in the PJM Region. PJM requires all entities for which it is performing TOP functions to execute the TOA. PJM determined that SMECO's 230 kV facilities meet the definition of transmission facilities under Section 1.27 of the TOA. Accordingly, SMECO executed the TOA, placed its 230 kV facilities under PJM operational control,9 and became a PJM Transmission Owner as of January 1, 2017. Letter Order, PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., FERC Docket Nos. ER17-282-000, ER17-283-000 (Nov. 30, 2016).

SMECO is considered a "Zero Revenue Requirement" PJM Transmission Owner at this time. SMECO currently recovers the cost of its 230 kV facilities from only SMECO members, under a Maryland PSC-jurisdictional tariff. However, under the PJM construct, SMECO is entitled to recover its cost of owning, operating, and maintaining its 230 kV facilities, which NERC has determined to be integrated with other transmission facilities in the PEPCO Zone, from all load in the PEPCO Zone. Recovery of SMECO's 230 kV facility cost from all load in the PEPCO Zone requires that SMECO make filings with and obtain approval from FERC to recover annual revenue requirements from load in the PEPCO Zone for SMECO's 230 kV facilities.10

II. Standard of Review

SMECO is not a public utility within the meaning of Section 201 of the FPA because SMECO has not yet reached 4,000,000 MWh in annual sales. As a result, SMECO is not subject to the Commission's ratemaking jurisdiction under FPA Sections 205 and 206. However, FERC does have jurisdiction under Sections 205 and 206 of the FPA over the rates for transmission service provided by PJM because RTOs are considered public utilities. When a non-jurisdictional transmission owner, such as SMECO, voluntarily joins a RTO, the Commission

8 SMECO's 230 kV facilities are the only SMECO facilities that NERC considers to be part of the BES. 9 The only facilities for which operational control was transferred to PJM are SMECO's 230 kV facilities, consistent with NERC’s classification of those facilities as being part of the BES. 10 As discussed in Section IV of this transmittal letter, SMECO will also be making a distribution rate filing with the Maryland PSC to update its distribution revenue requirement and to remove all costs of SMECO’s 230 kV facilities from SMECO’s Maryland PSC-jurisdictional rates. SMECO’s retail distribution customers will pay the rate for SMECO’s 230 kV facilities that is established in this proceeding.

has statutory authority to review the non-jurisdictional utility's transmission revenue requirement "to the extent necessary to ensure that the [RTO's] rates are just and reasonable."11

FERC has defined the standard of review that applies when a non-jurisdictional entity submits its transmission revenue requirement as a component of an RTO's jurisdictional rate. The Commission has held that the non-jurisdictional entity's transmission revenue requirement is "subject to a full and complete Section 205 review as part of our section 205 review of that jurisdictional rate."12 The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has held that subjecting the transmission revenue requirements of non-jurisdictional utilities to a full section 205 review is "the only way to ensure that [the RTO's] rate is just and reasonable."13

III. Description of Filing And Justification for Tariff Revisions

Pursuant to Article 7.3.1 of the TOA and Section 9.1(a) of the PJM Tariff, PJM Transmission Owners have the exclusive and unilateral rights to file, pursuant to Section 205 of the FPA and the Commission's rules and regulations thereunder, for any changes in or relating to the establishment and recovery of the Transmission Owners' transmission revenue requirements or the transmission rate design under the PJM Tariff; such filing rights shall also encompass any provisions of the PJM Tariff governing the recovery of transmission-related costs incurred by the Transmission Owners. Article 7.3.2 of the TOA and Section 9.1(b) of the PJM Tariff provide that Transmission Owners may request that PJM, as the Administrator of the PJM Tariff, make the Transmission Owners' Section 205 filings with the Commission on behalf of those Transmission Owners. Accordingly, SMECO has requested that PJM electronically file the PJM Tariff changes proposed herein, with testimonial support for SMECO's TRR provided by SMECO's witnesses. With this filing, PJM is not independently supporting or justifying SMECO's TRR, but is merely revising the PJM Tariff to accommodate SMECO's recovery of transmission service revenues for SMECO's 230 kV transmission facilities, in accordance with PJM's obligations under Article 7.3 of the TOA and Section 9.1 of the PJM Tariff.

SMECO intends to recover under the PJM Tariff the cost of its 230 kV transmission facilities that are interconnected with the PJM system from all customers in the PEPCO Zone. Upon FERC approval of this filing, PJM will recover SMECO's revenue requirement in accordance with the PJM Tariff and distribute the transmission service revenues to SMECO. In order to accommodate SMECO's recovery of the transmission service revenues, SMECO submits revisions to Attachment H-9 of the PJM Tariff, and to the table of contents of the PJM Tariff, reflecting the inclusion of a new Attachment H-9C. Clean and redlined versions of SMECO's proposed modifications to Attachment H-9 are attached as Exhibits B-1 and C-1,

respectively. In particular, SMECO's proposed revision to Attachment H-9 would specify a TRR of $17,134,115 and a rate for Network Integration Transmission Service ("NITS") in the amount of $2,638.40 per megawatt per year. Mr. Smith's testimony and exhibits, attached hereto as Exhibit Nos. SME-01 through SME-08, and Ms. Cox’s testimony, attached hereto as Exhibit No. SME-09, provide support for SMECO's proposed TRR and NITS rate. Furthermore, SMECO proposes to modify Schedule 1A to PJM’s Tariff to establish a charge of $0.00942/MWh to recover costs associated in FERC Account 561 (Control Center Costs) that are allocated to SMECO's 230 kV facilities. Clean and redlined versions of SMECO’s proposed modifications to Schedule 1A are attached as Exhibits B-2 and C-2, respectively. Support for SMECO’s proposed Schedule 1A charge may also be found in Mr. Smith’s testimony and exhibits.

IV. Effective Date

On or about August 1, 2017, SMECO will file a distribution rate case with the Maryland PSC in order to update SMECO's distribution revenue requirement and remove from SMECO's distribution rates the costs associated with SMECO’s 230 kV facilities for which rate recovery is being sought in this proceeding. SMECO anticipates the PSC will initially suspend the effective date of those new rates for a period of 150 days pursuant to Md. Code Ann. § 4-204(b)(2)(i). The PSC also retains the right to suspend rates for an additional 30 days to accommodate proceedings.14 At this time, it is not possible to predict whether SMECO's distribution rate proceeding will be fully litigated. If other parties contest SMECO's distribution rate filing, then new distribution rates will likely go into effect on or about February 27, 2018. If, however, SMECO settles its distribution rate case, then rates may become effective earlier than 180 days after the requested effective date – meaning that SMECO's new distribution rates could become effective as early as January 2018.15

16 U.S.C. § 824d(d) indicates that unless FERC indicates otherwise, "no change shall be made by any public utility in any such rate, charge, classification, or service, or in any rule, regulation, or contract relating thereto, except after sixty days' notice to the Commission and to the public." However, "[t]he Commission, for good cause shown, may allow changes to take effect without requiring the sixty days' notice herein provided for by an order specifying the changes to be made and the time when they shall take effect and the manner in which they shall be filed and published."16

14 Md. Code Ann. § 4-204(b)(2)(ii). 15 SMECO's three previous distribution rate cases have settled. In 2015, SMECO's distribution rates took effect 135 days after the requested date. In the Matter of the Application of Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. for Authority to Revise its Rates and Charges for Electric Service and Certain Rate Design Charges, Case No. 9396 (2015). In 2010, SMECO's distribution rates became effective 172 days after the requested date. In the Matter of the Application of Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. for Authority to Revise its Rates and Charges for Electric Service and for Certain Rate Design Charges, Case No. 9234 (2010). And in 2007, SMECO's distribution rates took effect 124 days after the requested date. In the Matter of the Application of Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. for Authority to Revise its Rates and Charges for Electric Service and for Certain Rate Design Charges, Case No. 9106 (2007). 16 16 U.S.C. § 824d(d).

The Honorable Kimberly D. Bose June 27, 2017 Page 6 of 8

Accordingly, pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 35.3, SMECO requests waiver of the 60-day notice provided by 16 U.S.C. § 824d(d) so that SMECO may align the effective date of its TRR with the effective date of its proposed changes to distribution rates, which SMECO presently anticipates will be on or about February 27, 2018. Good cause exists for granting this request for waiver. Alignment of the effective dates for SMECO's distribution rate changes and the TRR will ease administrative burdens for the Commission, the PSC, SMECO, PJM, and other entities involved in these parallel proceedings. Furthermore, aligning the effective dates for these rates will reduce or eliminate the potential for over-recovery or under-recovery that could result from any difference between the effective date of SMECO's proposed distribution rate and the final, FERC-approved TRR. SMECO will provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to this Commission of the specific effective date that SMECO requests.

Notwithstanding the request for a deferred effective date of the rate change, SMECO respectfully requests that the Commission act on this filing within the 60-day period.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION

Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. ) Docket No. ER17-___-000

NOTICE OF FILING

Take notice that on June 27, 2017, pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. § 824d, and Section 35.13 of the Commission's regulations, 18 C.F.R. § 35.13, Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("SMECO"), filed a request with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC" or "Commission") to add a stated Transmission Revenue Requirement ("TRR") to PJM Interconnection L.L.C.'s ("PJM") Open Access Transmission Tariff ("PJM Tariff"). The proposed stated TRR will enable SMECO to recover costs associated with transmission service involving SMECO's 230 kilovolt facilities. In addition, in this filing SMECO included modifications to Schedule 1A of the PJM Tariff to reflect establishment of a charge to recover costs associated with Scheduling, System Control, and Dispatch Service.

Pursuant to Order No. 714, 124 F.E.R.C. ¶ 61,270, this filing was electronically filed by PJM on behalf of SMECO as part of an XML filing package that conforms with the Commission's regulations. PJM has agreed to make all filings on behalf of the PJM Transmission Owners in order to retain administrative control over the PJM Tariff. Thus, SMECO has requested PJM submit this proposed revision to the PJM Tariff in the eTariff system as part of PJM's electronic Intra PJM Tariff. Accordingly, PJM has served copies of this filing upon all PJM Members and upon all state utility regulatory commissions in the PJM Region by posting this filing electronically. Any person desiring to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rule 211 and Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 C.F.R. §§ 385.211 and 385.214). Protests to this filing will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Such protests must be filed in accordance with the provisions of Section 154.210 of the Commission's regulations (18 C.F.R. § 154.210).

determination of wholesale and retail rates for utility services, financial and power 17

supply planning for electric utilities, establishing just and reasonable terms for 18

transmission access, electric industry restructuring, and the development and 19

implementation policies relating to deregulation. Throughout my career, I have 20

provided consulting services to dozens of electric cooperatives, municipal power 21

systems, investor-owned utilities, utility customers, and various regulatory 22

agencies across the United States. I have testified before state regulatory 23

Page 91: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 3 of 15

commissions, as well as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or 1

the “Commission”). My responsibilities have included the preparation of allocated 2

cost-of-service studies, retail and wholesale rate design studies, financial forecasts, 3

revenue requirement calculations, rate design, and analyses of alternative power 4

supply resources. These activities also have involved the negotiation of bulk power 5

contracts and transmission service arrangements along with review of cost of 6

service, revenue requirements and transmission formulary rates regulated by the 7

Commission. 8

Q. Have you had occasion to provide consulting services related to electric utility 9

allocated cost of service studies and revenue requirements? 10

A. Over the years, I have participated with many cost of service filings at the FERC. 11

In addition, I have provided testimony on the appropriateness of cost of service 12

studies in investor-owned utility rate cases at FERC where cost allocation and 13

revenue requirements were at issue. I am familiar with electric utility cost 14

allocation methods, GAAP Accounting, and FERC and National Association of 15

Regulatory Utility Commissioners (“NARUC”) cost of service and ratemaking 16

principles. During the past several years, my focus has been on FERC regulatory 17

matters involving wholesale transmission rates and revenue requirements. I have 18

participated in numerous proceedings (both cost-of-service and formula rate cases) 19

in which the proper level of transmission revenue requirements was at issue. 20

Q. Have you previously testified before utility regulatory commissions? 21

Page 92: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 4 of 15

A. Yes. I have filed testimony and exhibits at this Commission in over sixty 1

proceedings. A list of all utility regulatory proceedings in which I have filed 2

testimony is set forth in Exhibit No. SME-02. 3

Q. On whose behalf are you presenting testimony in this proceeding? 4

A. I am presenting this testimony on behalf of the Southern Maryland Electric 5

Cooperative, Inc. (“Southern Maryland,” “SMECO” or “the Cooperative”). 6

II. PURPOSE OF TESTIMONY AND BACKGROUND7

Q. Please describe Southern Maryland. 8

A. SMECO is a rural electric cooperative that provides delivery service to 9

approximately 160,000 customers in Southern Maryland. SMECO is a PJM 10

Transmission Owner as of January 1, 2017. As relevant to this proceeding, 11

SMECO owns approximately 90 miles of 230 kV transmission lines and associated 12

facilities. 13

Q. What is the purpose of your testimony? 14

A. I was asked by SMECO to develop the transmission revenue requirement (“TRR”) 15

for its 230 kV transmission system (“230 kV system”). That system is integrated 16

with the transmission system of Potomac Electric Power Company (“PEPCO”) in 17

the PEPCO Zone of the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C (“PJM”) region. SMECO 18

executed the PJM Consolidated Transmission Owner Agreement (“CTOA”) and 19

placed the 230 kV facilities under PJM functional control as of January 1, 2017. In 20

this testimony, I describe and support the reasonableness of the proposed SMECO 21

TRR and stated transmission rate for the test year. SMECO proposes that its 22

Page 93: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 5 of 15

resulting test year transmission rate in $/MW be fixed in the PJM Tariff and added 1

to the PEPCO transmission rate that is assessed to customers in the PEPCO Zone, 2

consistent with the CTOA and the PJM Tariff. Additionally, I describe in my 3

testimony how PJM assesses Schedule 1A ancillary service charges to loads in the 4

transmission zone. SMECO is proposing its own Schedule 1A charge, which was 5

developed consistent by dividing an allocated share of SMECO’s control center 6

cost by zonal MWh during the test year. Developing that charge on a $/MWh basis 7

is consistent with how other transmission owners in PJM develop that charge. 8

Q. Does the PJM Tariff1 anticipate there may be other signatories to the PJM 9

Transmission Owners Agreement that are located in its PJM transmission 10

zone? 11

A. Yes, Attachment H-9 to the PJM Tariff, which pertains to PEPCO, states: 12

In the event that any other entity in the Zone becomes a signatory to 13 the Transmission Owners Agreement, and adopts an annual 14 transmission revenue requirement (established in accordance with 15 applicable requirements, including those of the FERC to the extent 16 applicable) for inclusion in the Tariff, such revenue requirement and 17 associated rate for Network Integration Transmission Service shall 18 be stated in an appendix to this Attachment H-9 and added to the 19 annual transmission revenue requirement and rate for Network 20 Integration Transmission Service for the Zone. The foregoing shall 21 not affect such rights as any entity may have under Section 30.9 of 22 the Tariff, provided that no such entity may recover more than its 23 annual transmission revenue requirement through the combination 24 of any rights exercised pursuant to this Attachment H-9 and Section 25 30.9 of the Tariff. 26

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 6 of 15

As shown, the PJM Tariff clearly anticipates a situation where another transmission 1

owner in the PEPCO Zone with qualifying transmission facilities can recover its 2

TRR along with PEPCO’s. 3

III. TRANSMISSION COST OF SERVICE4

Q. Please explain the overall construct of the SMECO transmission cost of service 5

study that produces the annual SMECO TRR. 6

A. As shown in Exhibit No. SME-03, the SMECO Transmission Cost of Service 7

(“TCOS”) is made up of a return on rate base for the 230 kV system and an 8

associated allocation of operations and maintenance (“O&M”) expense, 9

administrative and general (“A&G”) expense, and taxes other than income taxes. 10

Q. What is the test year you have used in developing the cost of service study? 11

A. I have used 2016 as the test year and, unless otherwise explained below, have used 12

only 2016 investment and cost. 2016 test year data is reasonably representative of 13

the expected cost on the SMECO 230 kV system for the twelve months immediately 14

following the proposed effective date and is representative of normal on-going 15

investment and expenses. SMECO does not expect any significant additions to 16

PJM qualifying transmission in the near future. 17

Q. How does the SMECO cost of service study isolate the cost to own, operate, 18

and maintain the 230 kV system? 19

A. The filing includes an analysis of the investment in SMECO’s 230 kV facilities and 20

separates that investment from other transmission investment on the SMECO’s 21

books. In undertaking that separation, SMECO engineering personnel worked with 22

Page 95: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 7 of 15

the SMECO’s finance department to isolate the 230 kV system investment. For 1

transmission lines, the exercise was simple because original cost and accumulated 2

depreciation are maintained separately on each line segment. For substations that 3

serve at both 230 kV and 69 kV, SMECO engineering personnel first separated 230 4

kV-related investment from 69 kV-related investment. Then the remaining 5

common investment, such as land and foundations, was allocated equally to the 230 6

kV side of the substation and to the 69 kV side of the substation. The result of this 7

exercise was the calculation of the total investment in 230 kV equipment in the 8

looped substations and an allocation of common facilities in the substations. In 9

addition, SMECO provided me with allocations to the 230 kV system of the 10

investment in the control center, SCADA system, and Emergency Management 11

System. Exhibit No. SME-04 shows the total 230 kV system investment and 12

accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2016. As shown on Exhibit No. 13

SME-03 line 5, approximately 48% of the transmission investment on SMECO’s 14

books at the end of 2016 is related to the 230 kV system. This 48% allocation factor 15

is used to allocate SMECO’s transmission-related O&M expense to the 230 kV 16

system or “PJM Transmission.” A&G expenses and General Plant items are 17

allocated to the 230 kV system based on the Commission’s historical preference of 18

using a functionalized wages and salaries (“W&S” or “Labor”) allocator to assign 19

A&G expense and General Plant items to the 230 kV system. These allocators 20

along with others developed in the cost of service template shown in Exhibit No. 21

SME-03 calculate a TRR related only to the SMECO 230 kV transmission facilities. 22

Q. What is the source of the data in Exhibit No. SME-03? 23

Page 96: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 8 of 15

A. The test year cost data was provided to me by SMECO. The basis for the figures 1

are the 2016 audited financial statements and accounting records of the 2

Cooperative. SMECO witness Sonja Cox describes the genesis of the 2016 test 3

year accounting data. 4

Q. Please describe the inputs shown on SMECO’s 230 kV cost of service study 5

shown on Exhibit No. SME-03. 6

A. Exhibit No. SME-03 consists of three pages of calculations representing the annual 7

cost of SMECO’s 230 kV transmission system. As I mentioned before, the actual 8

2016 data is a reasonable projection of the costs of the 230 kV system for the 12-9

months immediately subsequent to the effective date (presented here as calendar 10

year 2017). The cost of service is based on a traditional 13-month average net plant 11

revenue requirement for the 230 kV transmission facilities owned by SMECO. The 12

gross revenue requirement is the sum of all expenses such as O&M expense, 13

depreciation expense, taxes other than income taxes, and return on rate base. The 14

underlying cost data included in the test year reflect SMECO’s costs as reported on 15

its books and records. 16

Q. Please describe how SMECO’s test year rate base was developed on page 1 of 17

Exhibit No. SME-03. 18

A. On page 1 of Exhibit No. SME-03, column (c), I present functionalized Total 19

Company Gross Plant in Service investment at SMECO by utility function at year-20

end 2016. I assume gross plant in service will not change in 2017 so the 2016 year-21

end balance is also assumed to be the 13-month average balance of 2017. On pages 22

1 and 2 of Exhibit No. SME-05, I show the total 13-month average gross investment 23

Page 97: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 9 of 15

in the SMECO 230 kV system, plus investment in other transmission assets 1

allocable to the 230 kV system projected in the twelve months after the end of 2

2016.2 I also show projections of production, distribution, and general plant original 3

cost on Exhibit No. SME-05. Similarly, I show the 2017 13-month average balance 4

of accumulated depreciation by function on Exhibit No. SME-05, which flows to 5

lines 13 through 18 of Exhibit No. SME-03. Accumulated depreciation is deducted 6

from the Gross Plant in Service yielding Net Plant by utility function as shown on 7

lines 22 through 27 of Exhibit No. SME-03. As shown on line 5, column (d) of 8

that exhibit, investment in SMECO’s 230 kV transmission function makes up 9

approximately 48% of the Cooperative’s total system transmission 13-month 10

average Gross Plant in Service (“TP”). 11

I allocated SMECO’s General and Intangible plant and accumulated 12

depreciation to the transmission function based on a W&S allocator developed on 13

page 3, lines 99 through 102 of Exhibit No. SME-03. SMECO provided me the 14

wages and salaries expensed by utility function during 2016 as shown in Exhibit 15

No. SME-06. When total transmission wages and salaries are allocated to the 230 16

kV system as shown on Exhibit No. SME-03, page 3 line 100, the resulting 230 kV 17

system wages and salaries allocation factor is approximately 3.7% as shown on line 18

103. 19

Because the Control Center investment booked in General Plant accounts 20

was allocated specifically to the 230 kV system on Exhibit No. SME-05, I removed 21

2 Investment in the Control Center, SCADA, and EMS system allocated to the 230 kV System.

Page 98: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 10 of 15

that investment from General Plant and General Plant Accumulated Depreciation 1

as shown on Exhibit No. SME-03, page 1, lines 8 and 17. 2

Once General and Intangible plant is allocated to the 230 kV transmission 3

investment, I develop a Gross Plant (“GP”) allocator as shown on line 10, column 4

(d) of page 1 of Exhibit SME-03. The GP allocator is used to allocate certain other 5

cost of service items to the PJM 230 kV system as I describe later. 6

Because SMECO is a non-taxable rural electric cooperative, it does not have 7

any accumulated deferred income taxes that are normally included as an adjustment 8

to rate base. Cash working capital is included and based on the traditional “1/8th9

O&M” calculation on line 33 of page 1. I also included balances of materials and 10

supplies and prepayments, which are sourced from SMECO’s financial statements 11

and allocated to the 230 kV system based on the GP allocator. 12

The total SMECO 230 kV test year transmission rate base is shown at the 13

bottom of page 1 on line 38, column (e) of Exhibit No. SME-03 at $122,531,995. 14

Return on the 230 kV system rate base is shown on line 40 column (e). 15

Q. Turning to page 2 of Exhibit No. SME-03, please explain how you developed 16

the test year expenses for the SMECO 230 kV transmission system. 17

A. Total system transmission O&M expense shown on page 2, line 45 comes directly 18

from the SMECO’s audited financial statements and is allocated to the 230 kV 19

system in column (e) based on Transmission Expense allocation factor (“TE”). The 20

TE allocator is developed on page 2, line 90. Account 561 costs for SMECO’s 21

control center are removed from the cost of service as those allocated costs are 22

recovered separately under PJM’s Schedule 1A ancillary service charge. These 23

Page 99: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 11 of 15

scheduling costs are removed on page 2, line 46a, and are shown (added back) in 1

the derivation of the proposed Schedule 1A ancillary service charge on page 3, line 2

129 of Exhibit No. SME-03. There, I took SMECO’s allocated scheduling costs 3

for the 230 kV system of $289,165 and divided that total by the total 2016 4

megawatt-hours in the PEPCO Zone. This yields a Schedule 1A rate of 5

$0.00942/MWh. 6

Q. Please explain the development of Depreciation Expense and Taxes Other 7

Than Income Taxes. 8

A. Transmission depreciation expense on page 2 line 52 is input from Exhibit No. 9

SME-05 where annual depreciation expense is calculated directly for the 230 kV 10

system investment and other supporting investment based on depreciation rates 11

established in the SMECO’s last depreciation rate study. General and Intangible 12

plant depreciation expense for the test year comes directly from SMECO’s 2016 13

financial information shown on line 54, and is allocated to the 230 kV system based 14

on the 230 kV system W&S allocator. 15

Payroll taxes shown on line 60 are also allocated to the 230 kV system based 16

on the W&S allocator, while property taxes on line 63 and state franchise taxes on 17

line 66 are allocated based on the GP allocator as they are more properly associated 18

with plant. These taxes other than income taxes also come directly from SMECO’s 19

audited financial statements for 2016. 20

Q. Please explain how the cost of service study develops the return on rate base 21

for the SMECO 230 kV system. 22

Page 100: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 12 of 15

A. Return on Rate Base (“Return”) shown on line 40 of page 1 one of Exhibit No. 1

SME-03 is the product of the overall rate of return (“ROR”) (page 3, line 112) times 2

the SMECO 230 kV rate base shown on page 1, line 38. ROR is the sum of the 3

weighted cost rates for long-term debt (“LTD”) and equity calculated on lines 110 4

through 112 on page 3. The LTD cost rate is equal to the actual debt cost incurred 5

in the year from SMECO’s financial statements divided by the outstanding balance 6

of LTD. 7

Q. What rate of return on equity (“ROE”) and capitalization ratios is SMECO 8

proposing to use in the development of return on rate base? 9

A. SMECO does not have a FERC-approved ROE. Therefore, SMECO is proposing 10

to use the Commission-approved ROE for the dominant utility in the SMECO zone 11

– PEPCO, which is currently set at 10.0% plus 50 basis points for RTO12

membership. Inclusion of the 50 basis points for RTO membership for SMECO 13

would recognize the SMECO’s transfer of operational control of its transmission 14

facilities to PJM. SMECO proposes to use PEPCO’s latest equity level posted on 15

the PJM website of 49.64% for calendar 2016, which is summarized on Exhibit No. 16

SME-07.3 This would allow SMECO to earn a return commensurate with similar 17

transmission facilities of the only other transmission owner in the PEPCO Zone 18

(i.e., PEPCO). Use of a proxy ROE and a proxy capital structure for SMECO is 19

consistent with the Commission’s acceptance of a similar request in Docket No. 20

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 13 of 15

ROE and a 50/50 debt/equity capital structure for East Texas Electric Cooperative 1

(“East Texas”) in East Texas’ filing for annual transmission revenue requirements 2

in the Southwest Power Pool. There, East Texas proposed the use of the dominant 3

utility’s ROE and capital structure for use as its own in the same transmission zone, 4

which allows East Texas to earn a return commensurate with the dominant 5

transmission utility. 6

Q. Please describe the standard applicable to the rate of return submitted by a 7

non-jurisdictional entity seeking membership in an RTO.8

A. The Commission has declined to establish a formal standard of review applicable 9

to revenue requirements filed by non-jurisdictional entities transferring their 10

facilities to a Regional Transmission Organization’s (“RTO”) functional control, 11

apart from examining that the RTO’s rates will be just and reasonable. 12

Nonetheless, within its analysis of whether the RTO’s rates are just and reasonable, 13

the Commission has permitted non-jurisdictional entities to implement ROEs that 14

fall within a range of reasonable returns approved by the Commission for other 15

transmission owners. In addition, the Commission has permitted non-16

jurisdictional TOs, within RTOs, to apply to their own revenue requirement the 17

same overall rate of return as that applied by the zone’s dominant transmission 18

owner.419

4 Pac. Gas & Elec. Co. v. FERC, 306 F.3d 1112, 1116 &1120 (D.C. Cir. 2002) (indicating use of a surrogate capital structure or ROE may be appropriate for a non-jurisdictional utility); City of Vernon, Cal., 109 FERC ¶ 63,057, at P 126 (2004) (stating, “Vernon's ROE should be set at the level set by the Commission in Opinion 445 for SCE”); Opinion No. 479, 111 FERC ¶ 61,092, P 109 (requiring an ROE update since substantial time had elapsed), reh’g granted in part and denied in part, 112 FERC ¶ 61,207 (2005) reh’g denied, 115 FERC ¶ 61,297 (2006).

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 14 of 15

Q. In your opinion, is the proposed rate of return on equity consistent with 1

Commission precedent? 2

A. Yes. 3

Q. Is SMECO seeking incentive rate treatments for any transmission projects? 4

A. No. In this proceeding, SMECO is not seeking incentive rate treatments for any 5

transmission projects, but reserves the right to seek authorization for certain 6

incentive rate treatments in future filings before the Commission. 7

Q. In your opinion, does the cost of service developed by you conform to 8

Commission precedent with respect to transmission rates? 9

A. Yes. The classification, functionalization and allocation factors used for the cost 10

items reflect standard Commission ratemaking. The data used in the cost of service 11

study is taken directly out of SMECO’s audited financial records. The discreet 12

investment in the SMECO 230 kV transmission system is the basis for the revenue 13

requirements developed in the cost of service. 14

Q. How have you developed the rate in $/MW-year for use in the PEPCO 15

transmission zone? 16

A. PJM sets the Network Service Peak Load (“NSPL”) for each transmission zone 17

based on the highest peak in the zone in the year (the “1-CP”). SMECO’s load is 18

embedded in the PEPCO transmission zonal load, which has fluctuated 19

significantly over the past several years. Because 2016 PEPCO Zone load data is 20

not necessarily representative of typical load in the PEPCO Zone, and because 21

testimony of Michael Volker that indicated “This stipulated ROE . . . falls within the range of reasonable returns approved by the FERC.”).

Page 103: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

Exhibit No. SME-01Page 15 of 15

SMECO is proposing a fixed or “stated” transmission rate in this proceeding, it is 1

appropriate to use an average of the PEPCO 1-CP loads over several years to 2

smooth out the fluctuations. To that end I have used the five-year average of the 3

PEPCO zonal 1-CP loads, for the years 2012 through 2016, of 6,494 MW as shown 4

on Exhibit No. SME-08 as the basis for developing the SMECO transmission 5

annual rate charge. As shown on that Exhibit, the PEPCO zonal 1-CP load has 6

fluctuated from year to year over the five-year period from an increase of 5% to a 7

decrease of 3% a year. The SMECO revenue requirement of $17,134,115 is divided 8

by the five-year average zonal 1-CP of 6,494 MW to yield a rate of 9

$2,638.40/MW/year as shown on Exhibit No. SME-03, page 3, line 127. 10

Q. Does this conclude your testimony at this time? 11

A. Yes. 12

BACKGROUND. 9

A. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Johns Hopkins 10

University in May 2003. I also hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting 11

from the University of Maryland University College. From September 1983 to 12

February 1990, I was employed by Carolina Power and Light Company as a Cost 13

Control Specialist at the Robinson Nuclear Project Department in Hartsville, 14

South Carolina. From February 1990 until joining SMECO in January 1999, I 15

Page 130: Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Inc., Docket … A. Weishaar, Jr. Direct Dial: 202.898.0688 Direct Fax: 717.260.1765 bweishaar@mcneeslaw.com June 27, 2017 The Honorable Kimberly

held various controller or accounting manager positions. I joined SMECO in 1

January 1999 as Financial Reporting Supervisor and was promoted in February 2

2006 to Vice President, Financial Services and Chief Financial Officer. In a 2006 3

internal reorganization, the functions of rates and economic studies and corporate 4

insurance were added to my responsibilities, and my title was changed to Vice 5

President, Financial & Economic Services and Chief Financial Officer. In 2008, 6

the functions of billing services and distributed energy and sustainability were 7

added to my responsibilities and, in early 2009, the department of Human 8

Resources was merged into the department and my title was changed to Senior 9

Vice President, Financial, Economic and Employee Services and Chief Financial 10

Officer. In this capacity, I am responsible for daily accounting, budgeting, 11

financial and tax reporting, treasury and cash management, long range financial 12

planning, capital credits, payroll, accounts payable, risk and energy procurement 13

functions, credit, internal control, short and long term debt facilities, development 14

and maintenance of sound business practices in accordance with GAAP 15

accounting directives and practices, rate design, cost of service, energy efficiency 16

programs, renewables compliance, and all employee relations and human 17

resources functions. I am also a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the State 18

of Maryland. I received this certification in February 1998. 19

Q. Have you previously testified before utility regulatory commissions? 20

A. Yes. I have provided testimony in various distribution base rate cases, several 21

power cost adjustment hearings and other proceedings before the Public Service 22

Commission of Maryland. 23

Q. On whose behalf are you presenting testimony in this proceeding? 1

A. I am presenting this testimony on behalf of the Southern Maryland Electric 2

Cooperative, Inc. (“Southern Maryland,” “SMECO” or “the Cooperative”). 3

Q. What is the purpose of your testimony? 4

A. I will describe the basis for SMECO’s 2016 test year data supporting this filing 5

and the total transmission investment and accumulated depreciation as of 6

December 31, 2016. 7

Q. Please describe the foundation for how SMECO maintains its books and 8

records. 9

A. SMECO maintains its books and records in accordance with the Federal Energy 10

Regulatory Commission’s Uniform System of Accounts. In addition, the 11

Cooperative follows Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) issued 12

by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the compilation of its financial 13

statements. 14

Q. Are SMECO’s books of account and financial statements audited? 15

A. Yes. Each year, SMECO’s books of account and consolidated financial statements 16

are audited by an independent auditing firm. The audit for the years ended 17

December 31, 2016 and 2015 was conducted by the firm of Adams, Jenkins & 18

Cheatham. It is the responsibility of the auditors to express an opinion on the 19

Company’s consolidated financial statements. In issuing their opinion, the 20

auditors stated that the Cooperative’s financial statements presented fairly, in all 21

material respects, the financial position of SMECO as of December 31, 2016 and 22

2015, and the results of the Cooperative’s operations and its cash flows for the 23

years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in 1

the United States of America. This is referred to as an “unmodified opinion”, 2

previously known as an unqualified opinion. 3

Q. Please describe the audit process. 4

A. SMECO’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of 5

the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. This includes 6

the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the 7

preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 8

Management (the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) 9

represents to the auditors that the financial statements are free from material 10

misstatement. The auditors then design procedures that allow them to obtain 11

evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial 12

statements. The evidence comes in many forms (various source documents, 13

appropriate approvals, observations, inventory counts, statistical analysis, etc.). 14

The audit also includes evaluating the various estimates made by management in 15

preparing the financial statements and the appropriateness of accounting policies 16

that are used. The auditors use the evidence obtained to provide a basis for their 17

opinion on the consolidated financial statements. 18

Q. What is an unmodified opinion? 19

A. An unmodified opinion is the independent auditor’s judgment that the 20

Cooperative’s financial records and statements present fairly its operations and 21

financial position according to GAAP. An unmodified opinion, previously referred 22

Exhibit No. SME-09Page 5 of 5

to as an unqualified opinion, is also more commonly known as a “clean” auditor’s 1

report. 2

Q. Did you provide SMECO witness Smith SMECO’s total transmission 3

investment and accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2016? 4

A. Yes. When calculating SMECO’s total transmission investment and accumulated 5

depreciation, SMECO included only the investment in and accumulated 6

depreciation of SMECO’s 230 kV transmission facilities, which are the facilities 7

over which PJM Interconnection, LLC has operational control and which the 8

North American Electric Reliability Corporation determined to be part of the Bulk 9

Electric System. As of December 31, 2016, SMECO’s total transmission 10

investment was $298,817,930 and its accumulated depreciation on that investment 11

was $74,340,577. I obtained both these figures from SMECO’s books of account. 12

These numbers were subject to the audit and were provided to witness Smith. 13

Witness Smith used these numbers as well as other audited data, as a basis for his 14

230 kV system allocation and the final numbers are presented in his testimony. 15

Q. Does this conclude your testimony at this time? 16

A. Yes. 17
