Dea Secretar:
Included below is a letter we senUo Israel Ray (My i i, 2008) exressing our concern
over the planed price increase for Atlanta Pöwer seaonal customers. We have been
paying a power bil in Atlanta sice i 987,. We bece senal uses of Atlanta power in
1992 using approxiately 300KWh per year. As stated below, we understan th
Atlanta Power must be able to cover its expenss an make a profit. However, from our
perspective, we canot aford to pay $1000 per yea for 300KWh of power. That'.s not
good business sene for us. This is a seasona home that is use on a limited basis.
Therefore, as stated below, we will no longer be customers of Atlanta Power ifour bil is
doubled. We wi take ourselves off the Atlanta Power grd and ru our own power. J
understand that this is a hassle for us, but in the long ru I feel that if the Idao PUC
approves the doubling of our power bil, we wi have no alternative.
Than you for your time and consideration of our concerns.
Best regards"

Israel:
Carol and I have supported Atlanta Power Co. for the last 15 years or so as seasonal
customers. Prior to tht we were full time customers. We have alwayspaid our bil on
time and have never shut the power off seasonally. Our anual power bil is
approximately $480. This includes the approxiately 280 KWh we use eachyear.
I iiderstand that the actal KWh used does not impac the overhead costs and operating
costs of the Atlanta Power operation. However, please consider our side of the equation.
Ûlr power bil will now double to approximately $100 anuay. That's approximately
$3.50 per KWh used on our par. It was already a stretch for us to have power at $500
per year; $1000 per year prices us out of the power grd in Atlanta.
I've done the math several times. Even with increased fuel costs, it will only take us
about three years (compared to the new rates) to offse the cost of a generator for our
Atlanta cabin. Sure, it is more convenient to flip a switch, however at some point, $
outweigh convenence. I feel like the seasona customers are bearg the brunt of this
price hie.
In summ, Atlanta Power Company will lose us as customers if the seasonal rate goes
away. I understand that you have to keep your companyprofitable, but lve-8ot to look
out for us. Please reconsider the "doublig" of our power bil in Atlanta.
Thans for your time and consideration of our concerns,
Best regards,

Please describe your comment briefly:
Please be advised~ we(as ATL co. customers) strongly object to (A)the proposed emergency
surcharge & (B) the proposed base rate increase for monthly utilization of power! As
customers~ we have never been included in the management~ methology ~ & maintenance plans of
ATL co. Now the customer is being expected to bear the full cost of a worn out hydro turbine
& what should have been foreseeable issues & problems the company should have handled in the
past 2e +- years. Prime example- Having an on hand portable diesel generator to cover the
PUC's 24 Hour back on line rule i s violations. Final - The cost of which shouldn i t be in this
seven year plan.
