ATCO Electric Ltd. and the Town of Franchise Agreement and Rate Rider A Proceeding 20994

1. On November 2, 2015, ATCO Electric Ltd. applied to the Alberta Utilities Commission for approval of an electric franchise agreement with the Town of Falher. The application was filed according to Rule 029,1 and included a copy of the franchise agreement, municipal franchise fee rider schedule, and the electric franchise application form.

2. Notice of the proposed franchise agreement was advertised on September 23, 2015, in the Smoky River Express. No objections or concerns related to the proposed franchise agreement were received.

3. The proposed franchise agreement, attached in Appendix 1, is based on the standard electric franchise agreement template approved in Decision 2012-255,2 has a term of 20 years or less, and will be effective October 1, 2015. Falher has commenced reading of Bylaw No. 2015-01 approving the franchise agreement.

4. The proposed franchise fee of 6.25 per cent, as shown on the municipal franchise fee rider schedule, attached as Appendix 2, is a continuation of the current franchise fee. The proposed franchise fee will result in a continuation of a $6.08 average monthly charge for an average residential customer.

5. The AUC considers that the right granted to ATCO Electric by Falher to construct, operate and maintain the electric distribution system is necessary and proper for the public convenience and properly serves the public interest.
