E.P.B. Electric Customers on the Variable Price Rate- We predict the POSSIBILITY for November's peak electric demand to occur on Wednesday, November 28th between 7am - 1pm. This is only a prediction based upon our best guess as to what the combination of all customers in Glasgow will demand from T.V.A. This is our forecast which is provided as a convenience for E.P.B. customers who wish to receive forecasts. You will be billed for your contribution to the peak hour which falls within one of our predicted periods only. If you want to move to a fixed energy rate without coincident peak demand charges, please contact us at 270-651-8341.

ADJOURN
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Members of Glasgow Electric Plant Board
FROM:
William J. Ray, PE
DATE:
11/21/2018
SUBJECT:
Board Meeting Information
November
Main Topics
- Accurate peak
prediction for October issued using four predicted days
- Reorganization of team,
due to retirements and illness, will continue through 2019
- Review and revision of
retail rates, based upon agreement with Advisory Council and EPB action in
September, approved by TVA
Action
Items
November 1
FCA
- The December 2018 TVA
FCA is going to increase to 1.944 cents per kWh.
- On December 1, the
energy component of our retail rates will adjust to reflect this increase to the
wholesale cost of energy.
Report to
City Council on FY 2018
- Superintendent will
deliver his annual report to City Council at a regular meeting on November 26,
2018.
- The report will cover
activities of EPB during the last year, as well as an overview of the annual
audit and a report on the retail rate changes to be implemented on January 1,
2019.
- Lanny White with CRI
will be in attendance at the meeting, in case specific questions relative to
CRI’s audit of EPB arise.
Check
Signing Authorizations
- Retirements
have created the need for an updated list of EPB employees, who are authorized
by the Board to sign checks.
- Some
local banks require certified excerpts of the minutes before authorized
signatures can be updated.
- Auditors
have specifically recommended that accounting personnel who generate checks
should not be authorized to sign them.
Rate
Design Discussion for FY 2019
- Per Advisory Council’s
agreement, and as a result of board directions, the rate plan approved by you in
September, has now been approved by TVA. They approved all six rate
tariffs.
- TVA approval came too
late for us to satisfy the reporting requirements of KRS 65A, so we are now
providing the written information to City of Glasgow and will deliver the report
in person on November 26. That means we cannot actually implement the rate
changes until January 1, 2019.
- Copies of the actual
tariff sheets, approved and produced by TVA, are attached for your
consideration. I will ask you to approve same at the
meeting.
Reports
- CPD Charge Reserve Fund
Status
- kW demand markup was
implemented last year to cover TVA wholesale cost for missed peak
predictions
- Updated calculations
will be presented at the meeting
- EPB Team Staffing
Master Plan
- Report on progress of
long-term staffing plan
- Updated chart on Master
Plan will be presented
- End of Year Internet
Upgrade Plans
-
EPB has historically
recognized the value of its internet access products and the customers who use
the product, by performing the necessary work to upgrade speed offerings each
year.
-
The authorization by
the board has allowed us to procure the necessary hardware and software upgrades
to upgrade speeds again this year. Our team is awaiting the installation of the
new gear. After installation, testing will be done to determine what speed
upgrades will be possible.
- Large Outage
Report
-
On November 20, at
8:30 am, one of our crews was attempting to make repairs to a pole and down-guy
damaged by a hit and run driver, several days earlier. The crew had, thankfully,
donned rubber gloves and asked our dispatch center to place the circuit in
non-reclose.
-
Immediately upon
beginning the work, unforeseen damage to an insulator caused the circuit to arc
to ground, which, in turn, tripped the circuit and the back-up breaker feeding
all circuits at Industrial Drive Substation, affecting about 2,000 customers.
Most of the customers were restored to normal in 20 minutes. About 620 customers
were off another 35 minutes as the original problem was repaired.
-
We were very lucky to
make it through this event without any injuries to our team.
