AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING PAYMENT TO THE ENERGY AUTHORITY, INC. AND MIDCONTINENT INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS OPERATOR, INC. FOR TRANSMISSION SCHEDULE FEES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 IN THE AMOUNT OF $4,651,988.00 FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
This is a recurring ordinance for the payment of various fees to maintain the ability to participate in the energy market. This ordinance authorizes payment in an amount not to exceed $4,651,988.00 to The Energy Authority, Inc. (“TEA”) and Midcontinent Independent Systems Operator, Inc. (“MISO”) for various fees and costs during the Fiscal Year 2024. Schedule 10 fees are $547,000.00, which is 11.8% of the ordinance amount. Schedule 10 is the MISO Cost Recovery Adder. These are costs that support the reliable operation of the electric system and associated administrative services and regulatory costs. This pays for system coordination, long-term planning, congestion management, operational planning, maintenance and outage coordination, billing/settlement function, dispute resolution, and tariff administration. This also covers annual assessments by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”). Schedule 26/26A fees are $4,104,988.00, which is 88.2% of the ordinance amount. These costs support electric transmission infrastructure upgrades that benefit multiple parties, sometimes encompassing the entire MISO footprint. MISO thoroughly reviews these projects to assess their value in increasing transmission system reliability and allowing for more efficient energy flow through the system. Projects must meet a specific set of criteria to qualify for cost-sharing. These costs are then spread over multiple years, so any given yearly assessment represents multiple projects in various funding life cycle stages. Schedule 26A is the Multi-Value Project Usage Rate. This rate is charged all to load and exports based on the proportion of the load relative to the total MISO load. A Multi-Value Project addresses a need of region or the system-wide scope and has a significant impact on the MISO footprint as a whole; hence, the associated costs are shared across the entire system. The expected Schedule 26A charge to CWLP is $2,960,550.00 or 63.6% of this ordinance amount.
Schedule 26 is payments for the Transmission Expansion Plan (other than Multi-Value Projects). These are largely projects deemed necessary under the MISO Regional Expansion Criteria and Benefits process before implementing the Multi-Value Project process. Depending on the type of project, allocation to CWLP may be based strictly on the CWLP proportion of MISO load or a combination of load proportion and local benefit. CWLP load represents approximately 0.4% of MISO total load. The expected Schedule 26 charge to CWLP is $1,144,438.00 or 24.6% of this ordinance amount.

AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING AN AGREEMENT WITH GLACIER SANDS WIND POWER, LLC FOR THE PURCHASE OF ALL AVAILABLE MISO-ACCREDITED CAPACITY FOR FIVE (5) YEARS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $12,771,360.00, FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
The Office of Public Utilities is recommending entering into a capacity purchase agreement with Glacier Sands Wind Power, LLC ("Glacier Sands") for a five (5) year term to buy all available MISO-accredited capacity in an amount not to exceed $12,771,360.00. This dollar amount includes an approximate five (5) percent buffer amount.
The Utility is required to purchase capacity from the market, bi-lateral contracts, or auction when there are insufficient Utility resources. MISO sets capacity requirements to cover our load each year. The Utility is in need of additional capacity at this time. The Energy Authority has identified a wind farm willing to sell its capacity for a five (5) year term below the market value of $7.00 per kw-month. The expectation for the future capacity market is tightening supply as more coal plants retire and there will not be enough renewables built in the time frame that is needed to lower capacity prices. There is considerable volatility in this market and is expected to continue this trend for some time. This contract will be considerably less than the market and a hedge against auction prices that are expected to clear near the current market prices or higher. This information or guidance comes from The Energy Authority and with discussions with other utilities. The Energy Authority is recommending that we purchase this capacity to meet our capacity obligation in MISO. Annual capacity supply from this contract for planning year 2023/2024 per season:
Planning Year Season NRIS ZRCs
2023/2024 Summer 33.1
2023/2024 Winter 52.1
2023/2024 Spring 53.1
2023/2024 Fall 42.7
These numbers can vary slightly from year to year based on the capacity value set by MISO. For this planning season. MISO has set the capacity numbers from this wind farm, so the total cost for this year will be $3.25M. The estimated value for this contract is $12,163,200.00 based on achieving the same capacity numbers each year in MISO. The Utility is asking for $12,771,360.00 which includes a five (5) percent buffer.

The billboard is illuminated by traditional lamps located along the bottom of the sign faces. The existing billboard is a legal nonconforming use. Petitioner desires to enable electronic digital display upgrades for the existing off-premises advertising sign (i.e. billboard). The electronic digital display faces that Petitioner intends to install will be the same size as the current traditional billboard face being replaced (10' 6" high x 36' wide, totaling 378 square feet of signage for each face). The electronic digital display face will display different messages on a set 8 to 10 second cycle. Messages displayed will be static images that do not include moving, scrolling, blinking, flashing, or animated graphics. The electronic digital display faces will utilize technology that limits the brightness of the display at night. This electronic digital display face will reduce the ambient light that emanates from the traditional lighting on the existing billboard face. To be in compliance with the zoning ordinances, petitioner respectfully requests: a reclassification from S-2 to B-1; a Conditional Permitted Use pursuant to 155.341 (b) and (c) for approval of an off-premise sign to extend an additional five (5) feet above the ground, for a total height of no more than 40 feet in lieu of the Zoning Ordinance's 35' height limit; a variance of 155.001 (Definition of Lot), 155.340(h), and all other applicable Zoning Ordinance Sections so as to permit more than on principal use on the Subject Real Estate consisting of the off-premises sign with two sign faces and the current uses of the property; a variance of Sections 155.321(a) and 155.322(b) to permit the new electronic digital display faces to maintain the dimensions of the existing traditional faces that each measuring 10' 6" high x 36' wide, totaling 378 square feet of signage for each sign face in addition to any ground signage allowed for the businesses located on the property; a variance of 155.340(c) to permit the sign to be located within 15 feet of the property line as the existing sign may potentially be within 15 feet of the North and West property lines; a variance of 155.340 (d) to permit the sign to be located within 500 feet of a lot zoned residential or on a lot used for residential purposes; a variance of Section 155.340(e) to permit the two non-parallel back to back sign faces to be treated as one sign; a variance of Section 155.340(i) and (j) to permit the issuance of a sign permit approving the replacement of the existing traditional sign faces with electronic digital displays of the same size of the existing sign faces (10' 6" high x 36' wide, totaling 378 square feet of signage for each sign face) by utilizing the existing base, poles, and other equipment presently used in conjunction with the existing sign, without significant modification, to comply with the requirements of Section 155.340(i)'s aesthetic requirements and other subsection provisions; a variance of 155.340(j) to permit the replacement of the existing traditional sign faces with electronic digital displays of the same size of the existing sign face (10' 6" high x 36' wide, totaling 378 square feet of signage for each sign face) without the surrender of otherwise existing permits on a four for one basis; a variance of 155.341 (Height and Size Regulations for Off-Premises Advertising Signs) to permit an off-premises advertising sign with two sign faces on the Subject Real Estate of a height not to exceed approximately 40 feet, the estimated height of the sign, in lieu of the Zoning Ordinance's 35' height limit and a maximum of 378 square feet of signage for each sign in lieu of the Zoning Ordinance's 175 square feet limit, and to permit the use of electronic digital displays; a variance of 155.320 (a) & (b) to permit an off-premises advertising sign with two sign faces on the Subject Real Estate in the same location as the existing sign so as to be located within 100 feet from and in addition to all other ground signs located on the Subject Real Estate related to the business use of the Subject Real Estate; a variance of 155.480 to permit an off-premises advertising sign with two sign faces on the Subject Real Estate in the same location and configuration as the existing sign without complying with the Section 155.480 landscaping requirements; Pursuant to 155.212 (General Provisions-Variances) and 155.213 (Applications for Variances) of the Zoning Ordinances, Petitioner requests a variance of any other provision of the Zoning Ordinance applicable to permit the replacement of the existing traditional sign faces with electronic digital displays of the same size of the existing sign face (10' 6" high x 36' wide, totaling 378 square feet of signage for each sign face). Petitioner additionally requests if request for reclassification is deemed unideal for any reason, pursuant to Sections 155.212 (General Provisions-Variances) petitioner would accept a variance of 155.340(a) (General Provisions for Off-Premises Advertising Signs) to permit an off-premises advertising sign with two sign faces on the Subject Real Estate in its current S-2 Zoning Classification. Petitioner's preference is a zoning variance so as to limit any impact to the other activities on, or uses of, the Subject Real Estate by the property owner. And if the reclassification is not granted, pursuant to Sections 155.212 (General Provisions-Variances) and 155.213 (Applications for Variances) petitioner requests a variance 155.341 (Height and Size Regulations for Off-Premises Advertising Signs) to permit an off-premises advertising sign on the Subject Real Estate of a height not to exceed approximately 40 feet, the estimated height of the sign, in lieu of the Zoning Ordinance's 175 square feet limit.
