Quick Review: The Formula • Gross Revenue Requirement (GRR) includes: • Projected Transmission Plant • Projected Transmission O&M • Projected Transmission Depreciation Expense • Taxes • Return • Net Revenue Requirement adjusts the GRR for: • Revenue Credits received for Point-to-Point Transmission Service • “Rent” received (i.e. pole attachments) • True-Up for prior year’s difference between actual and projected, including interest
Quick Review: The Past • 2009 was the first ATRR that included the forward-looking, revised formula • The first substantial true-up adjustment of -$17.8 M was applied in the 2011 ATRR, for 2009 business: • Actual O&M expenditures in 2009 were lower than projected • Actual revenue credits received for PTP service in 2009 were higher than projected • Therefore, the net ATRR increase from 2010 to 2011 was 12% (it would have been 25% without the -$17.8 M adjustment)
The Results: ATRR for 2012 Westar’s Gross Rev. Requirement $203,102,936 Revenue Credits ($ 21,496,752) True-Up from 2010 $ 4,453,094 Westar’s Net Rev. Requirement $186,059,278 SPP’s BPF Rev.
