NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PETITION OF APPALACHIAN POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION GRID TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS PURSUANT TO § 56-585.1 A 6 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2018-00198
On December 14, 2018, Appalachian Power Company (“APCo” or “Company”) filed a petition with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) for approval of a plan for electric distribution grid transformation projects (“Petition”) pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 6 (“Subsection A 6”) of the Code of Virginia (“Code”). Specifically, APCo seeks approval of a three-year Electric Distribution Grid Transformation Plan (“GT Plan”) that includes “measures to facilitate integration of distributed energy resources and measures to enhance physical electric distribution grid reliability and security” as required by Subsection A 6. The estimated total proposed investment associated with APCo’s GT Plan is approximately $415.4 million in capital investment and $26.3 million in operations and maintenance investment. Pursuant to Subsection A 6, the Commission is required to issue its final order on the Petition within six months of the filing date. The Company states that APCo’s three-year GT Plan is not a material departure from the Company’s current distribution investment strategy, and APCo is proposing to incorporate into its GT Plan the Company’s existing program of replacing distribution assets that are near or at the end of their useful lives with infrastructure that facilitates the integration of distributed energy resources (“DER”) or enhances the reliability and security of the distribution grid. The Company states that its proposed GT Plan includes the following: (i) continued replacement of Automated Meter Reading equipment (“AMR”), which has reached the end of its useful life, with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (“AMI”); (ii) Asset Improvement Project; (iii) Grid Automation Project; (iv) Vegetation Management; and (v) Distribution Grid Security and Cyber Security Projects. The Company states that, in compliance with Subsection A 6, the AMI and grid automation measures facilitate the integration of DER; the GT Plan includes investments in physical security to enhance grid security; and all elements of the GT Plan enhance grid reliability.
The Company states that, unlike AMR, AMI enables two-way communication, which would allow Peter Mason/Smith Mountain Eagle faster and more efficient restoration in the event of outages; helps the Company to proactively identify, Staunton River’s Devin Hubbard takes the ball up the court, being guarded by William Byrd’s and repair, problem circuits; better assimilates rapidly expanding technologies such as DER; and Taylor Young. enables programs to enhance customer service. The Company further states that AMR meters that are currently in place are no longer supported by the industry and would require additional costly investment in data readers to replace the current AMR meters with new AMR meters. According to the named Athlete of the played both football and Company, AMI is a proven technology whose costs are declining. The Company states that it began the transition from AMR to AMI in 2017 and anticipates the replacement of 167,000 meters by the end of INDUCT Year in his junior year. basketball for his entire 2018, 264,000 meters in 2019, and the remaining meters throughout its Virginia service territory by the Continued from Page 13 He went on to teach and high school career.

A close ranged field goal from Golden Eagles kicker Seth Deaton put up the only three points of the night for Staunton River’s offense on Friday in a 27-3 loss to Wil- liam Flemming at home. After Flemming took an early 7-0 lead in the first half, quarterback Jacob Kirtley drove the Golden Eagle offense down the field and came up just short of being able to tie the score. The Golden Eagles settled for a field goal in- stead to cut the gap to 7-3. Right before the half, the Colonels responded quickly with a long ranged touch- down pass to take a 13-3 advantage into the break. Later in the second half, Flemming scored 14 more unanswered points to end the night with a 27-3 vic- tory, dropping the Golden Eagles to a record of 1-7. Staunton River struggled with offense in the second half to get anything by the Colonels defense. The Golden Eagles will play their next game on the road at William Byrd this upcoming Friday night.
