2. Rural and Residential Customers

The bar graph titled "Effect of Proposed New 1974 Firm Power

Rate on Average Rural and Residential Customer" indicates

the estimated effect of the proposed new Eastern Division

rate on certain representative rural and residential customers.

The percentage shown along the bottom of the chart indicates

the percent of the wholeaale customer's load served by the

UM Region in calendar year 1972. The determination of the

effect on the average rural or residential customer was

based on a straight pass through of the proposed rate

increase to the ultimate consumer by the power supplier.

E.

Comparability of Proposed Rates with Other Wholesale Power
Suppliers (Eastern Division)

This bar graph indicates the estimated representative alternate

costs of service available to representative wholesale power

customers in the area of a potential alternate supplier. All

costs were adjusted to comparable load centers and conditions

so far as possible. The values were derived from published

rates or contractual arrangements. In practice, lower-cost

arrangements might be negotiated. One supplier has a rate

increase for cooperatives under consideration at this time.

The possible new rate is shown as a dashed line.
