BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

In the Matter of:

JOINT APPLICATION OF JACKSON ENERGY COOPERATIVE ) AND INTER-COUNTY ENERGY COOPERATIVE CORPORATION ) CASE NO. FOR A REVISION TO THE SERVICE TERRITORY BOUNDARY ) 99-266 BETWEEN THE TWO COOPERATIVES )

O R D E R

Jackson Energy Cooperative (“Jackson Energy”) and Inter-County Energy

I I Cooperative Corporation (“Inter-County”) filed a Joint application on June 23, 1999 for

approval for a change in the electric territorial boundary between the two utilities.

Jackson Energy stated that Tim Ledford has requested a single-phase service for

~

his new home, which is located approximately 1 mile from Jackson Energy’s existing

I lines and within its service territory. No road exists between the existing lines and the

~

new home. Jackson Energy indicated that serving this new home will be expensive,

and service reliability could be affected due to the remote location and the lack of road

access. Inter-County has distribution facilities within approximately 1,800 feet of the

new home. The cost to serve the new home by Inter-County would be substantially

less. Jackson Energy and Inter-County agreed to revise the territorial boundary, so the

new home and any future growth in the area will be served by Inter-County.

Based on the application and being sufficiently advised, the Commission finds

that the proposed boundary changes will prevent wasteful duplication of facilities, avoid

P

i

unnecessary encumbering of the landscape, and- provide adequate and reasonable

service to the affected area.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

1. The boundary change as agreed upon by Jackson Energy and Inter-

County is hereby approved.

2. Jackson Energy and Inter-County shall file within 30 days of the date of

this Order two copies of the affected topographic quadrant map reflecting the approved

boundary change and the signatures of Jackson Energy and Inter-County.

Done at Frankfort, Kentucky, this 27th day of July, 1999.

BEFORE THE

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

JOINT APPLICATION OF JACKSON ENERGY COOPERATIVE ) AND INTER-COUNTY ENERGY COOPERATIVE CORPORATION FOR A REVISION TO THE SERVICE TERRITORY BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE TWO COOPERATIVES.

)

APPLICATION

The application of Jackson Energy Cooperative (JEC) and Inter-County Energy Cooperative

Corporation (ICECC) respectively shows:

1. JEC and ICECC are nonprofit membership cooperative corporations without capital stock,

duly organized and existing under K.R. S. Chapter 279, engaged in the business of supplying

electric energy to its member-consumers in the Kentucky counties of Breathitt, Clay, Estill,

Garrard, Jackson, Laurel, Lee, Leslie, Lincoln, Madison, Owsley, Powell, Pulaski, Rockcastle,

and Wolfe for JEC and Boyle, Casey, Garrard, Larue, Lincoln, Madison, Marion, Mercer, Nelson,

Rockcastle, Taylor, and Washington for ICECC.

2. The name and postal addresses of the Applicants are as follows:

JACKSON ENERGY COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY 421 SOUTH POST OFFICE BOX 307 McKEE, KENTUCKY 40447

1

INTER-COUNTY ENERGY COOPERATIVE CORPORATION 1009 HUSTONVILLE RD. P.O. BOX 87 DANVILLE, KY 40423-0087

3 . Copies of the articles of incorporation of JEC and ICECC are filed with the Commission.

4. Tim Ledford, a new consumer has requested single-phase service for his new home that is

located in the northwest corner of Rockcastle County and is within the JEC service

territory. JEC would need to extend their facilities approximately 1 mile north from the

existing lines through solid woodland and rough terrain. There are no roads or trails large

enough for truck access to areas that our lines would cross. Refer to Exhibit A. If JRC

were to serve this consumer, it would require a substantial contribution in aide to our

construction. The line extension would require extensive maintenance and service

reliability could be affected due to the remote location and the lack of road access.

5 . ICECC’s distribution facilities are within approximately 1,800 feet of the new residence.

There are existing roadways to the new residence and ICECC’s cost to serve this

residence would be substantially less.

6. The proposed territorial boundary revision was drawn with the consideration of any future

growth in the area of the new residence that could not be served economically by JEC.

ICECC can access this area and maintain it more economically.

7. JEC and ICECC have included ten (10) copies of this application and Exhibit A.

2

AGREEMENT BY THE PARTIES

E C and ICECC hereby agree to the territorial revision as indicated on Exhibit A to provide

economical service to the consumers who request service in the territory. We request the

Commission approve the revision to our boundaries.
