used in that case and applied here to compute the effects of the federal income tax reduction enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Exhibit 6, attached hereto, contains selected pages from Dayton Power s Application in Docket No. ER04-1068-000 that is the source for the billing determinants applied in that case to develop the currently effective stated NITS rate and applied here to compute the effects of the federal income tax reduction enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. I. Background of Existing Stated Transmission Rate. Dayton Power s current Network Integrated Transmission Service ( NITS ) stated rate of $1,107.98 per MW per month is a function of the cost of service studies developed in Docket No. ER98-1292-000, as modified by a black-box settlement that included a $40,100,000 annual transmission revenue requirement, with a further adjustment established in Docket No. ER04-1068 to establish a stated monthly transmission rate based on the use of 1 CP billing determinants. Docket No. ER98-1292-000 was a case in which Dayton Power first proposed unbundled generation, ancillary services, and transmission rates in connection with establishing its own open access transmission tariff. The original application, filed December 19, 1997, included a cost of service study that yielded a proposed annual NITS transmission revenue requirement of $64.5 million. 7 After an extensive process, a black-box settlement was reached and filed on January 20, 1999, which included a settlement NITS transmission revenue requirement of 7 See Trial Staff Comments in Support of Settlement in Docket No. ER98-1292-000 (attached in pertinent part as Ex. 4, p. 2 (filed Feb. 9, 1999). -3-
$40,100,000. 8 There was no explicit agreement as to the individual elements that were changed in order to reach the $40,100,000 figure. Certain elements of the original cost of service study that are relevant to this current filing would not have changed, however. In particular, the federal income tax rate used was 35% and the state income tax rate used was 0.108%. 9 While not an explicit part of the Stipulation, when the Commission Trial Staff filed comments in support of the Stipulation, it included a summary Cost of Service table that tied to the $40,100,000 revenue requirement. The relevant portions of Staff s comments and the summary Cost of Service table are attached hereto as Exhibit 4. That summary Cost of Service table shows that the annual net amount of federal taxes reflected in the transmission rate was $4,367,134 and the net amount of state income taxes reflected in the transmission rate was $14,251. See Exhibit 4, hereto, at Attachment A (Transmission Column). In 2004, Dayton Power joined PJM and the related Docket No. ER04-1068-000 established Attachment H-15 of PJM s Open Access Transmission Tariff ( OATT ), which sets forth the $1,107.98 per MW per month NITS stated rate that has remained in effect to this day. 10 There was one significant adjustment made between Docket Nos. ER98-1292-000 and ER04-1068-000. The Commission in several cases prior to 2004 had announced a strong preference for the use of the 1 CP method for designing transmission rates. Thus, when Dayton Power and PJM filed the original proposed Attachment H-15 in Docket No. ER04-1068-000, a 8 See Exhibit 4, attached hereto, Staff Comments in Support of Settlement, pp. 3-4. See also, The Dayton Power and Light Company, Docket No. ER98-1292-000, Offer of Settlement, Attachment 5, Sch. 10 (OATT, Original Sheet No. 69) (filed Jan. 20, 1999). 9 See Exhibit 5, Workpapers T-2, pp. 3 attached hereto. 10 As originally put into effect in Docket No. ER04-1068-000, the $1,107.98 figure did not clearly identify that it was a MW per month charge. That was corrected in filings made by PJM on Dayton Power s behalf in Docket No. ER15-243-002 (Sept. 9, 2015) as part of a larger settlement in The Dayton Power and Light Company, Docket Nos. ER15-33-000, et al. -4-
stated rate was developed using the $40,100,000 annual revenue requirement established in Docket No. 98-1292-000, and 1 CP billing determinants. 11 The Commission accepted the use of the 1 CP method, which was non-controversial with respect to Dayton Power and was one aspect of resolving a contested issue with respect to the other utility in the proceeding, American Electric Power. 12 II. Methodology for Revising the Stated Transmission Rate. Attached as Exhibit 3 is the formula used to revise the stated transmission rate. It was developed as follows: A. Step 1: Dayton Power first reviewed Order No. 475, which was issued by the Commission in 1987 13 with respect to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and referenced in the Show Cause Order. 14 Order No. 475 established the following formula that is replicated in Exhibit 3: Where K = D D(E/F) I D= Composite income taxes allowable included in rates in effect on the date that the change in the Federal corporate income tax rate becomes effective. 11 See Application of PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., AEP East Operating Companies and The Dayton Power and Light Company, Docket No. ER04-1068-000, n. 23 (July 30, 2004). Selected relevant pages are attached hereto at Exhibit 6. 12 PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., AEP East Operating Companies and The Dayton Power and Light Company, Docket No. ER04-1068-000, 108 FERC 61,318 (2004) at P28 and Ordering Paragraph (C). 13 Rate Changes Relating to the Federal Corporate Income Tax Rate for Public Utilities, Order No. 475, FERC Stats. & Regs. 30,752, order on reh g, 41 FERC 61,029 (1987). 14 Show Cause Order, at 4, n. 6. -5-
E= Composite income tax factor using the new Federal corporate income tax rate and the effective state income tax rate from the rate application docketed upon with existing rates are based. This is computed by the following formula: Composite marginal income tax rate 1- composite marginal income tax rate F= Composite income tax factor using the old Federal corporate income tax rate. This is computed using the same formula used for determining E. I= Test period billing units from the rate application docket upon which the rates are based. Absent extraordinary circumstances a public utility shall use demand billing units. This information is usually available in Statement BG of the rate application and/or settlement or compliance documents. K = Required rate reduction per billing demand unit. B. Step 2. Dayton Power then reviewed filed documents and cost of service studies from Docket No. 98-1292-000, modified only by using the 1 CP monthly billing determinants applied in Docket No. ER04-1068-000, and applied the relevant data from those documents to the above formula. Dayton Power changed only the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% as used in Docket No. 98-1292-000 to the new federal corporate income tax rate of 21%. Dayton Power made no adjustments to the state income tax rate that was used in Docket No. 98-1292-000. The results, as shown in Exhibit 1, are that: D = $4,381,385 E = 0.267555646 F = 0.541022006 Source: Sum of net federal and state income taxes as reflected in Trial Staff Comments in Support of Stipulation, Attachment A (Transmission Column) Docket No. ER98-1292-000 (attached here in Ex. 4) Composite Tax Rate using 21% FIT and 0.107% SIT Source: Tax Cut and Jobs Act for FIT; Filed Workpapers from Application in Docket No. ER98-1292-000, T-2, p. 3 of 8 for SIT rate (attached here in Ex. 5) Composite Tax Rate using 35% FIT and 0.107% SIT Source: Ex. 4, Filed Workpapers from Application in Docket No. ER98-1292- 000, Workpapers T-2, p. 3 of 8 for FIT and SIT rate (attached here in Ex. 5) -6-
I = 36,192 MW 12 x 1 CP monthly billing determinants. Source: Pre-filed Testimony of Sharon R. Crawford, Ex. SRC-3 from Application in Docket No. ER04-1068 (attached here in Ex. 6). and K = $61.19 per MW per month. [Calculated] C. Step 3. The required rate reduction (K) of $61.19 per MW per month was then applied to the existing stated rate of $1,107.98 per MW per month, which yielded a new rate to be incorporated into PJM OATT Attachment H-15 of $1,046.79 per MW per month. This rate was then multiplied against the same billing determinants used in Docket No. ER04-1068-000 to show an annual revenue requirement amount of $37,885,386, which is also reflected in the new proposed tariff sheet. III. Effective Date and Request for Necessary Waivers. The Show Cause Order established a refund effective date as of the date the Show Cause Order was published in the Federal Register, which occurred on March 21, 2018. Dayton Power requests an effective date for the revised proposed PJM OATT Attachment H-15 tariff sheets of March 21, 2018. To the extent a waiver is required for a proposed effective date that is prior to the date of filing, Dayton Power requests such a waiver and notes that good cause for a waiver exists in that the proposed change is a rate reduction. Dayton Power also requests a waiver of any other filing requirements that might otherwise apply in connection with a proposed change in tariff rates. In this regard, the Commission, in its Show Cause Order, specifically invited Dayton Power and similarly situated utilities to file the proposed rate adjustment on a single-issue basis, noting -7-
historical precedent for such an approach in connection with changes in the federal income tax rate. 15 IV. Service. Dayton Power has served all parties that have intervened in Docket No. EL18-117-000. PJM has served a copy of this filing on all PJM Members and on all state utility regulatory commissions in the PJM Region by posting this filing electronically. In accordance with the Commission s regulations, 16 PJM will post a copy of this filing to the FERC filings section of its internet site, located at the following link: http://www.pjm.com/documents/fercmanuals/ferc-filings.aspx with a specific link to the newly-filed document, and will send an e- mail on the same date as this filing to all PJM Members and all state utility regulatory commissions in the PJM Region 17 alerting them that this filing has been made by PJM and is available by following such link.
