Key Data Impacts

15
“True-Up” UpdateGeneration Leads Exclusion
• In 2010, a transfer of transmission plant that was solely for generation leads was completed. This transfer was made from Transmission Plant to Generation Plant.
• In prior years, this transmission plant was excluded from the TFR calculations [AGR, Page 3, Line 3]. In 2009, the amount was $2,330,375.
• Since these assets were removed from transmission plant in 2010, there is no need to exclude in the TFR.
• This impacts the Transmission Plant Allocator (TP) in the TFR. The 2010 TP Allocator is now 100% (1.0000) in comparison the 2009 TP Allocator of 99.76% (0.9976).
