Notice of Utility Tariff Filing
The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that Chugach Electric Association, Inc. (Chugach) filed TA454-8, proposing an annual update to its generation and transmission (G&T) line loss factor based on operating results for the year ending December 2017. The updated G&T line loss factor is used for the allocation of system costs in calculating the fuel surcharge and revenue requirement, and for determination of losses associated with transmission wheeling transactions. The updated G&T line loss factor is 2.207 percent. By means of comparison, previous line loss factors (measured at generation) were 2.810 percent and 2.414 percent based on 2016 and 2015 operating results, respectively.
Additionally, Chugach proposes adding Hane Substation under the “Distribution Substation Deliveries” section of its 2017 test year loss calculation. Chugach states that Hane Substation was added to Chugach’s system in February 2017.
