 ELECTRIC

EL06-028      In the Matter of the Joint Request for an Electric Service Rights Exception between Lyon Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. and Sioux Valley-Southwestern Electric Cooperative, Inc. d/b/a Sioux Valley Energy.

On December 11, 2006, Sioux Valley Southwestern Electric Cooperative, Inc., doing business as Sioux Valley Energy (SVE) and Lyon Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LREC) filed an Agreement for Electric Service Territory exception to the SVE electric service territory permitting LREC to provide electric service to a new rural service in Tract 2 Grimmius Addition, in the South half of Southwest quarter of Section 35, Township 101 North, Range 48 West, in Minnehaha County, South Dakota.  The consent on the part of SVE is limited to the service for Mr. Earl Grimmius and will automatically terminate upon removal or abandonment of such service.  The reasons for requesting an exception to the electric service territory boundaries, allowing LREC to provide service to Earl Grimmius' property, are as follows: LREC is already providing service to Mr. Grimmus' new building is from the existing service point;  SVE would need to construct over 2,000 feet of new electrical line to provide service to a new shop, when LREC has line essentially on the property in question, thereby duplicating what already exists.  SVE, LREC, and Mr. Earl Grimmius have all agreed to this territorial exception.
