ATCO Electric Ltd. and the Village of Paradise Valley

Franchise Agreement and Rate Rider A

Proceeding 21204

1. On December 22, 2015, ATCO Electric Ltd. applied to the Alberta Utilities Commission for approval of an electric franchise agreement with the Village of Paradise Valley. The

application was filed according to Rule 029,1 and included a copy of the franchise agreement,

municipal franchise fee rider schedule, and the electric franchise application form.

2. Notice of the proposed franchise agreement was advertised on November 27, 2015, in the Meridian Booster. No objections or concerns related to the proposed franchise agreement were

received.

3. The proposed franchise agreement, attached in 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 February 1, 2016. Paradise Valley has commenced reading of Bylaw

No. 284-2015 approving the franchise agreement.

4. The proposed franchise fee of six per cent, as shown on the municipal franchise fee rider schedule, attached as Appendix 2, replaces the current franchise fee of two per cent. The

proposed franchise fee will result in an increase of $3.89, to $5.84 as the average monthly charge

for an average residential customer.

5. The AUC considers that the right granted to ATCO Electric by Paradise Valley to construct, operate and maintain the electric distribution system is necessary and proper for the

public convenience and properly serves the public interest.
