Mr. Cameron
Messrs. Soli and Ensminger discussed the approach used to perform the Cost of Service Study.
Mr. Cameron commented that Vermont Energy Ventures would be at the Rate Subcommittee meeting on
March 30. The Department will see where it goes as far as the Cost of Service. This meeting will dictate
the subsequent meetings the Board will have on this matter.
Mr. Cameron explained the allocation methods used for allocating the Customer Charge, Demand
Charge and Energy Charge. The Customer Charge included Customer Costs, which result in the ultimate
delivery of the Customer Bill. The Demand Charge included costs relating to Fixed Charges in the Power
Supply, Transmission and Distribution Costs and other Fixed Costs. The Energy Allocation included
some Distribution Costs, which are incurred on an annual basis along with some Administrative Costs.
Discussion ensued concerning the back up to how the allocation factors were arrived at. There were
some questions Mr. Cameron answered and some that would be answered when Vermont Energy
Ventures performed their present Class Cost of Service Study for the RMLD Board.
