EL04-027 In the Matter of the Application of Black Hills Power, Inc. for an Order Authorizing it to Enter into Loan Agreements to Assume Liability of the Payment of Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds Issued by Pennington County, South Dakota, Weston County, Wyoming and Campbell County, Wyoming.

In 1977 and 1984, the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission approved applications by Black Hills Power, Inc. (BHP) allowing assumption of the obligation to pay principal, interest and premium due on bonds issued by Pennington County, South Dakota, Weston and Campbell Counties in Wyoming and the City of Gillette. The bond proceeds were used to pay for pollution control equipment on generating units located within the area of the issuer's jurisdiction. The initial bonds were subsequently refunded by BHP and new bonds were issued. In 1992, the Commission approved BHP's assumption of obligation under the new bonds. BHP now requests to refund the new bonds by entering into loan agreements to assume the liability for bonds to be issued by the above Counties which will be used to refund the bonds which were the subject of the Commission's 1992 Orders.
