On May 25, 2007, Clay-Union Electric Corporation (Clay-Union) and Northwestern Public Service, dba Northwestern Energy (NWE) filed for Commission approval of a Service Territory Transfer Agreement between the two companies. Clay Union agrees to transfer to NWE one service location on the east half of the southeast quarter, Section 18, Township 94 North, Range 54 West, Yankton County, SD. Clay-Union's three phase infrastructure to serve this irrigation service is not in close proximity while NWE already serves an irrigation service on the west half of section 18. It is the opinion of both electric companies that this transfer of service location will minimize the duplication of electric service, will provide adequate electric service and will promote the efficient and economical use and development of the electric systems of the electric utilities.
