Subject:   APCO doesn't set the "rule"
Date:   8/22/2007 12:13:14 PM

The rule curve is set by the FERC, NOT APCO. So they follow their rules. The 'plug' was put in on Feb 17th, and the state was already several inches below normal for rainfall. someone said there was no shortage back then, but the facts tell a different story. Also, APCO generated less hydro power in March of this year than ever before in its history. The deficit was made up for with coal. That is why everyones rates went up last month, to offset the extra expense of burning coal instead of generating with hydro.

It takes a special variance from the FERC to deviate from the rule as set by them. APCO requested this variance early on, but was ignored until Riley stepped in and took it to the press. The only person to blame for the water level is Mother Nature. NOTHING is going to raise the level this year. We are only a few weeks away from the normal draw down to begin. What folks need to worry about is NEXT year. Start now with pressure for a variance to start raising in DEC, or JAN maybe.

Bottom line is if we don't get rain, we don't get water.
