In the E.B.R.O. 493/494 ADR Agreement, the parties agreed to the inclusion of this project in the capital budget and in rate base. The Board, however, disallowed capital expenditures related to the AM project as Centra had not completed an evaluation of a Thunder Bay project and, in the Board’s view, did not have sufficient justification to proceed. Subsequent to the E.B.R.O. 493/494 Decision, Centra responded to the Board’s concern, outlined the options available to the Company and proposed a plan that would maintain project manpower at existing levels while attempting to minimize capital spending to the greatest extent practical. The company indicated that it was proceeding with the plan as outlined in a May 23, 1997 letter to the Board. Union also filed a copy of the 1995 UGC Consulting report which evaluated the AM technology specific to Centra and committed to complete a formal evaluation of the Thunder Bay pilot. In June, 1997, Union filed, with the Board, the Thunder Bay evaluation and an update from UGC Consulting confirming the project benefits for the Centra franchise. Capital expenditures of $1 million in 1997, $2.3 million in 1998, and $2.1 million in 1999 are reflected in the company’s capital budget found at B3, B4, and B6/T2/S2, respectively. The project has a P.I. of 1.26 and an NPV of $1.7 million. The parties acknowledge their support for this project in the E.B.R.O. 493/494 ADR Settlement. The parties continue to support the inclusion of this project in cost of service and agree that the Board, having disallowed the project in E.B.R.O. 493/494, should determine whether Union has adequately addressed the Board’s concerns as raised in E.B.R.O. 493/494. Union noted to parties that it has responded to all of the concerns raised by the Board and in its view has addressed the matter in a responsible and complete manner. Evidence References:
