TEST YEAR The Application is based upon a mid-year rate base of approximately $1,590,000 and concomitant revenue requirement of approximately $2,044,000. IV. RATE BASE ssion has considered the proposed rate base Applicant and believes adjustments are required as follows: inventory, and expense items related to construction.

COST OF SERVICE EXCLUDING RETURN The Commission has considered the proposed cost of ser return bel certain adjustments are required to efficiency, appropriate treatment treatment of income tax and loss carry-forward. (a) Tr --------~----------~--~-At page 462 of the transcript Mr. Dodd October 5, 1984 letter (Exhibit 2, customer security deposits, as follows: "The present treatment here is, it's a zero cost capital item, so it has been included as a deduction from rate as a particular component of return, the interest related to the customer deposits ls reduces return. So, the effect referred to in for an component on tariff, the company has proposed that we earn return equal to the proposed return on rate embedded cost the customer capitalization." 4 indicated that due to premature the I add the security of service increase exclusive of incr security deposits the ned Company's request its l, 8) to earn a return on than being offset In the derivation of earned that 8 is the company receives credit at the rate of us one the the interest expense be included in capital as a portion of
Mr. Heerensperger, on e 461 of the transcript, in answer to a question by Counsel : "The exhibit has been regarding the company on the accountl practice of a utility at The Com that and hence it is inappropriate for a return to be (b) Income Tax The Applicant proposed to and, through its why the carry-forward accrue to With to the Applicant's proposal to the proposal has been would inequity is due to in time when depreciation and the financial flexibility. Needless to say if circumstances be at a future With to the loss carry-for Commission is the that since normalized continued, the loss carr does not further consideration at this time. In this although lie ant's Vancouver Island Company Ltd.

6 VI. RATE OF RETURN The original Application October 5, 1981+ put forward a capital structure containing an equity component of approximately 77.6% upon which the Applicant sought a return of 16%. In Decem of 1984 the Applicant retained Dr. Robert E. Evans, President of Economic Research Associates Limited (" E.R.A. "), with to Loss Carry-forwards, Capital Structure and Comparative Investment Risks, and on Rate of Return Mr. Jerry P. M.A. Sc, M.B.A., Vice President E.R.A. Limited. Dr. Evans reviewed financial business risk, financing flexibility, the relevant sion of the Trust Deed and investment risks, and concluded that a 55% ty ratio should be considered as a lower limit unless there are significant ln the return on equity or unless income taxes are on the normal basis for rate purposes. He further the risks are no less than those T .S.E. listed companies generally and are also no than those privately-owned utilities ally. Mr. Jerry Evans reviewed r capital market conditions, equity risk premium and concluded that a 15.5% return on original cost common equity does not the rate of return to Fort Nelson at w specific it was " . . . In terms of those that we do a problem, both in of the enormous government deficits. And ly truly feel that those play an important pressure to the capital We'd talked about inflation earlier and although inflation and long-term interest rates traditionally held a relationship to some extent, I think by and that relationship today not of these And we spoke earl on in
cross-examination of what inflation rates were to at current of time. you're right, that if we did not have the that we do, that would come but we still have those deficits, they are a problem I quite frankly feel that interest rates in the term wil.l increase this . " r Transcript Vol. 4, In order to a return to the owners capital structure for the of rate payers the evidence with to rate of return on but bel the equity component must approximately 40%. This resulting interest coverage on funded debt is in excess of 3 times. w to the cost of this concern Inasmuch as it is Commission's view that the cost is relationship to the size of the utility. The direct (approximately $20,000) indirect costs represent approximately 25% of the hearing cost. In the alternative the Commission believes that the return on equity be mined on the basis of average returns on equity allowed by the Commission recent decisions, evidence was given, has merit and would reduce the cost significantly would not reduce the of the resultant return within reasonable limits. The Commission would adopting the above method in its next revenue 7 happen to interest rates if s for a prolonged bei equal, the interest rates 6371 a cost effective Commission has accepted of 15.5% by E.R.A. reduced from 55% to has been on Schedule V. The the must express its that the rate of rate return Applicant give consideration to application.
VII. OTHER MATTERS (a) In addition to the distribution of environs, the Applicant provides a transrnl British Columbia Hydro and Authority. The Applicant proposed in A eased by approximately $15,200 interpretation of the argued that the increase could only be $367 or approximately $1 per day. In its consideration the Commission considered not only the legal argument put by B.C. Hydro but also the eement. Mr. Dodd, Counsel for the App as "Mr. Chairman, Dr. side carne to speech, and when he made the speech he promised the people of Fort Nelson a gas service and an Chairman of the British Columbia Power Com The British Columbia Power Commission then built a gas line from the Clark field into Fort N and they proceeded to take over, I think from Northland Utilities? He took over the svstem from Northland Utilities. However, the contained 20 percent carbon dioxide and contained sulphuric compounds. It was therefore unsuitable but it was suitable for burning Then came the Anschluss bet ween Commission and British Columbia carne to me me what we could do about this, and we requested a Edmonton to -- who in Fort St. John. They were promoted and they were going to do two things. They were going not only to they were not only going to ibute going to liquify peddle it up 8 to customers in Fort Nelson and or ng service to the that this ser be B.C. Hydro, on its historical circumstances of the ibed circumstances Nelson and a service. He was for generating electricity distribution as a diesel plant. Br l ti sh Columbia Power ic, and Dr. Keenleyside to distribute in Fort N I should say, in Fort Nelson, they were Alaska Highway. They
thought there were opportunities Mr. Sparling, who was the promoter of dead, came in with that proposition. So they bought a scrubbing plant which I think had previously been used by another an in this room, to scrub the gas, to provide a gas for local usage. It has a very limited capacity, this scru B.C. Hydro did not want to provide any here to run this gas was made whereby Nelson Gas and Cryogenic would operate the pipeline, pipeline, connect the second supply to B.C. Hydro This took quite a bit of went ahead. Now, the capacity insignificant and it was, after a short period of time B.C. Hydro's plant reverted back to burning the unscrubbed of doing but I guess it would reduce because it was only 800 btu gas instead of 1,000. The next thing happened was that Mr. D.P. McDonald carne over to see me on endless Transmission's plant to Fort Nelson, and he had Mr. W .A.C. Bennett to do this. There was a competition of Alberta and Southern was Nelson gas and run lt down through Alberta, ship it all off to San Francisco and we were all concerned about to be no adequate way to assist Mr. McDonald in his scrubbing, in his extension It was a major extension which he had another company under provincial control, so he And finally I got up with this and lay aw devised a method of financing it, so about two days Ia ter I drafted the documents Mr. Barchard's office and sat there and went through his har again as if you knew Mr. McDonald you'd understand went through his Finally I said, "Well, D.P., we think we can help you and we have drafted some documents", at which he leaned out and wiped it off and threw it on it". 9 LNG here as well, and who is now long since it up here And at that point, operating division up after it, so an the two and ng station. and it was eventual done. It the scrubbi plant was very which it was efficiency the wanting to extend We stcoast encouraged to come in grab Fort but there under construction with coming over. one night Mr. came over to some thinking about this and everything was on floor. He said, " see Vol. 2, 32h-327l
10 We brought it out, we had dr this document especially for the bankers, contained three consecutive foolscap long pages payments that we guaranteed to We stcoast Transmission, if would build this line up here, and we would ee then to replace the burning of oil in the Burrard Steam Plant which we were then operating, with [Transcript Vol. 2, pp. 326-3271 On the basis of that he was to to the financial people with guaranteed payments, which were about a quarter to half a dollars per month, they were a substantial sum, he went to his financial people who eed then to finance the line up here and build the line up which they did. So we wound up, then, in the Fort Nelson area, with-- ••. " [ Transcript Vol. 2, pp. 327-330 ] " ..• British Columbia, we in British Columbia, wound up in the fort Nelson area having a major, the world's scrubbing out here 15 miles out the highway. And here we are with an inadequate system here, so it was eed that Mr. Bannister, who then taken over this system from Mr. Sparling, agreed to raise money to build a pipeline in from to Fort Nelson and the the wells that we were tappi in the Clark Lake field, be put directly into the gather of W estcoast Transmission, through the scrubbing plant. D.P. McDonald agreed on a scrubbing plant rate figure of 3¢ per Mcf to scrub it, so they then built that line. Under all these conditions lt was B.C. Hydro that had the investment in the pipeline, the first pipeline. So a new pipeline to be built from Mile 284 up to the Muskwa where it would then the one from Clark Lake. This was done, a three-inch line was built by Mr. Bannister, and deal then was that the company here would an option for $30,000 to buy the pipeline and would carry up to 2,500 Mcf per day through the transmission system for B.C. Hydro to 1986." [Transcript Vol. 2, pp. 330-331 ] " ... And that was what we were with when we came into the negotiations. What happened was that they got beyond the 2,500 day." [Transcript Vol. 2, pp. 330]
II The Applicant excercised its option in 197.5 and purchased the facility. Subsequently, the system was expanded to rneet current and forecast requirements of B.C. Hydro and the Fort Nelson market. The contract at issue was negotiated by the parties and accepted by the Commission on May 12, 1 982. The Commission has considered the evidence and given, concurs with Mr. Dodd, Counsel for the Applicant, that the initial proposal was more beneficial to the Applicant and other customers but finds pursuant to the executed contract that the increase to B.C. Hydro as argued by B.C. Hydro's Counsel, be as set forth in the contract ( $367 per year). The short-fall w.ill necessarily be collected the other customers. In general it would appear that the agreement places B.C. Hydro generally in a similar position to that which it would have been in if it had constru the transmi system itself. In the alternative, if this had been done the utility would have suffered a loss of revenue of approximately $104,900 in 1984. Accordingly, the Commission does not believe that the terms and conditions of the contract should be altered at this time and if any change was considered, additional evidence from both be required. (b) The Applicant indicated that it would be seeking additional long-term financing of approximately $400,000 at ! 3. .5% from Great West Life in 198.5 to replace a portion of existing shareholder loans. In the case of this Applicant and in view its cost effective financial arrangements with Great West Life, whereby they can increase their long-term debt at minimal cost; the Commission approves the of up to approximately $400,000 at a rate not to exceed 13.5%, the issue to be placed or ior to 31, 198.5.
12 The appropriate adjustment has been made in the cost of capital schedule of this Decision. Needless to say if the Applicant can a lower rate the shareholders will be the beneficiar in the m with a substantial benefit accruing to the customers over the life the issue. VIII. HEARING COSTS The Commission is concerned with the magnitude the cost incurred proceeding and believes must be reduce costs ( Appendix A). In to the Applicant, it must be recognized that this is the first Application for general rate relief in five years and that the Application, by was prepared with external assistance. The is not totally the process but to some degree reflects internal in the !kant's parent company which are reflected in the refiling of the Gas Utilities Annual Reports from 1978 to 1983 and major changes ln the Application from the initial to the hearing date. The Commission bel that cost reductions will take at future proceedings inasmuch as the applicant's senior financial officer now has a good under of the process will able to prepare a concise Application in considerably less and expense. A concomitant benefit will be substantially ch in turn the cost to both the Applicant, the Commi other participants. Accordi the Commission ieves ItO% of the Applicant's costs incurr exclusive of the $24,000 incurred by E.R.A. should be written-off over a per The balance of the costs are to be written-off over a four-year period. If Applications become more frequent the amortization iod will shortened.
13 W lth regard to the Commi charges to the A of approximately $18,000, these, in conjunction with the Applicant's balance of approximately $55,000, will be written-off over years. IX. DE CISlO N The Commission confirms the interim increase approved January 1, 1985 and will accept for f April I, 1985 tariff rate schedules to permit the Applicant the opportunity to earn the revenue requirement set forth on Schedule II. are the rates as proposed by the Applicant but to costs. The "Wheeling Agreement" rate between B.C. Hydro the Applicant is to be incr by approximately $367 per year and residual costs initially the Applicant to B.C. Hvdro must be recovered from the other customers. The Commission approves the connection set forth in the Application.
