ATCO Electric Ltd. and the Town of Franchise Agreement and Rate Rider A Proceeding 22780

1. On July 4, 2017, ATCO Electric Ltd. applied to the Utilities Commission for approval of an electric franchise agreement with the Town of Vegreville. The application was filed according to Rule 029,1 and included a copy of the franchise agreement, Rate Rider A schedule and the electric franchise application form.

2. Notice of the proposed franchise agreement was advertised on May 24, 2017, in the Vegreville Observer newspaper. No objections or concerns related to the proposed franchise agreement were received.

3. The proposed franchise agreement, attached as 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 August 1, 2017. Vegreville has commenced reading of Bylaw No. 10- 2017 approving the franchise agreement.

4. The proposed franchise fee of nine per cent, as shown on the municipal franchise fee rider schedule, attached as Appendix 2, maintains the current franchise fee. The proposed franchise fee will remain as a $8.93 charge in the average monthly charge for an average residential customer.
