Average System Cost Methodology (ASCM) Archives 2008 ASC Methodology Consultation Archives It is important to note that utilities interested in participating in the Residential Exchange Program in FY 2009 will need to send BPA a notice of intent to participate by February 22, 2008. BPA has identified an error in the Proposed 2008 ASC Methodology, Endnote b, regarding the calculation of return for Utilities that do not use depreciation or jurisdictional rate setting. BPA is currently reviewing this matter and will post a proposed revision to Endnote b as soon as possible. In addition, BPA will make a corresponding revision and posting to add language to the ASC Methodology template regarding this matter. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) hereby requests all interested parties to file a list of issues with BPA regarding BPA's proposed 2008 Average System Cost (ASC) Methodology by COB March 21, 2008. The list should include a statement of the issue (e.g., whether a certain cost should be included in ASC); a statement of the party's position on the issue; and a brief explanation in support of the party's position. The parties' lists will help BPA to identify the issues that must be discussed and resolved in the 2008 ASC Methodology consultation proceeding. The issues list can be submitted to BPAAverageSystemCost@bpa.gov. 2008 ASC Methodology Consultation ASC Methodology Draft Record of Decision (ROD) (May 29, 2008, 578k) ASC Methodology (Amended to include Appendix 2) (June 4, 2008, 302k) ASC Methodology (May 29, 2008, 282k) ASC Methodology Federal Register Notice (FRN) (February 7, 2008 92KB) FRN Website ASC Methodology FRN Attachments ASC Methodology (February 7, 2008 266KB) ASC Filing Template Revised ASC Filing Template (April 30, 2008) ASC Forecast Model ASC Methodology Consultation Schedule Comment on ASC Methodology Expedited Filing Processes FY 2009 Expedited Process Final Reports FY 2009 Expedited Process ASC Filings Contact Information Tina Ko, Residential Exchange Program Manager 503-230-3555 REP Home 2008 ASC Methodology Meetings & Workshops BPA Calendar Documents / Publications Correspondence Links to Related Sites Secure REP website REP Settlement Contact Information
