COMPLAINTS
On May 8, 2006, Gene Drong filed a complaint against Otter Tail Power Company disputing line extension charges.
Staff Analysts: Dave Jacobson/Deb Gregg
Staff Attorney: Karen Cremer
Date Filed: 05/08/06
Complaint by Sioux Valley Southwestern Electric Cooperative, Inc. against Northern States Power Company d/b/a. Xcel Energy regarding the provision of service to Myrl and Roy's Paving. Myrl and Roy's Paving conducts a quarry and rock crushing operation at a location that is partly located on Xcel's established service territory and partly on Sioux Valley's established service territory. The complaint states that prior to 1991, Myrl and Roy's was served by Sioux Valley. Acting upon a complaint filed by Xcel in 1991, the Commission ruled that because the preponderance of Myrl and Roy's load was located on Xcel's established territory, the Myrl and Roy's was to be then served by Xcel. The Commission decision was appealed to both Circuit Court and the South Dakota Supreme Court which upheld the Commission's decision. Myrl and Roy's has now informed Sioux Valley that they will be adding new equipment which will result in the majority of their load being located in Sioux Valley's territory. Sioux Valley has requested Xcel to relinquish Myrl and Roy's as a customer but Xcel has failed and refused to do so. Sioux Valley now requests that it be awarded the exclusive right to serve Myrl and Roy's and that Xcel remove its lines and other facilities from Myrl and Roy's location.
