On February 1, 2022, Alabama Power Company (“the Company”) submitted information and calculations for the CNP Purchase Factors associated with the Company’s certificated power purchase arrangements, as provided for under Rate CNP, Part B. The filing reflects a projected under-recovery of costs associated with such arrangements which would be recoverable in the billing months of April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023.
Although the Company is entitled under Rate CNP and the corresponding orders of the Commission to recover the entire revenue requirement associated with its power purchase arrangements, the staff is proposing that, in lieu of new CNP Purchase Factors associated with the submitted calculations, the Company will leave the current CNP Purchase Factors in effect for the period April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023.

On February 15, 2022, Alabama Power Company filed with the Alabama Public Service Commission the annual update to Rate PAE. Under Rate PAE, qualifying customers that have installed an electric generating facility for their own use (with nameplate capacity of 100 kW or less) receive payment for energy sold to the Company in accordance with the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). As with prior revisions, the base charges and energy payments reflect updated cost information and avoided cost data for Alabama Power Company. Alabama Power is also proposing a new PAE option for residential customers that elect to take service under the recently approved Rate FD-D (Family Dwelling - Residential Service Demand). Rate FD-D becomes available for customers beginning with April 2022 billings. Lastly, the Company is proposing several clarifying and ministerial changes associated with the different time periods applicable to the different service options available under the tariff.
