ELECTRIC
On February 28, 2005, Southeastern Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SEC) filed a petition for a service rights exception for Commission approval. A SEC customer has requested three-phase electric service for irrigating approximately 65 acres of land located in the NW 1/4 of Section 24, Range 48 West, Township 96 North in Lincoln County, South Dakota. In order for SEC to provide service it would require a line extension of over three miles with a sizeable aid to construction for a seasonal load. Since SEC is not able to provide three-phase electric service to this site without a sizeable aid to construction SEC is willing to allow MidAmerican Energy to provide electric service to this site.
