Continued litigation not in customers best interest

‘Accepting Northern ■ Indiana Public Service Company 's phasein electric rate proposal, including a Bailly Nuclear One refund of $29 million, is in the best interests of all NIPSCO electric customers, as continued litigation of the refund could result in a smaller or no refund at all,” Edmund A. Schroer, NIPSCO chairman and chief executive officer said Tuesday. Aug. 26. The utility presented its case in a refund hearing before the Public Service Commission of Indiana, responsive to a January 3, brder of the Indiana Supreme Court “The company believes that the Court of Indiana decision, cert'fied to the Public Service Comfnission on January 6, does not r.iandate that refunds be made in this proceeding,” Schroersaid “Two justices clearly voted to permit amortization of all Bailly N1 costs and another justice, in a concurring opinion, would permit the amortization of planning, analysis and investigation expenses.’ "he said. "In the opinion on rehearing, the majority vote was explicit to permit recovery. "It should be noted that the Bailly N1 project was less than one percent completed 1 Obviously, any , expenses of a project which hardly gets off the ground i ji 1 • i ■ > W j CHAMPIONS — Cynthia Peterson as nd Jim Deardorff, both of .Nappanee, successfully defended thdv national title at FrenN.

Robinson discussed problem areas in the community where some action needs to be taken. 20 YEARS AGO. AUG. 24,1966 Mr. and Mrs. Carol Mohler of Millersburg entertained in North Webster last Thursday evening at a dinner in honor of his mother’s birthday. Attending were the guest of honor, Mrs. Doris Mohler and Mrs. Catherine Babcock, both of Syracuse, and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Miller of New Paris. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lower and daughter of Toledo, Ohio, spent a week’s vacation in the home of Mrs. Lower’s mother, Mrs Ida Hibschman, Syracuse.

The Syracuse Civil Defense unit' met in the CD building Thursday evening for its regular

will be devoted primarily to planning. analysis and investigation.” he said. "Our position is that the Supreme Court of Indiana opinion requires the amortization of the jurisdictional portion of approximately S6O million in Bailly N1 planning, analysis and investigation expenses,” Schroer said. "NIPSCO is not presently collecting any revenues attributable to the Bailly N1 expense,” Schroer added," and we have not for some time.” "Only during the period between August 4, 1983, and August 9, 1984, were revenues collected which included Bailly N1 expenses," he said. "The facts demonstrate that since the time that the commission approved the recovery of Bailly N1 expenses. revenues had not been adequate to pay for the commission-approved costs excluding the Bailly N1 expense." On , August 10, 1984. new rates were implemented to reflect a settlement agreement among NIPSCO, several large industrial customers, the Utility Consumer Council and the Citizens Action Coalition. The agreement, which was not appealed, reduced NIPSCO's electric rates by some $10.4 million annually. "Even though we believe that a case could be made for no Bailly N 2 refund, a $29 million refund is included in our settlement proposal,” the NIPSCO chairman said. "Continued litigation of this matter will not improve out customers' present economic difficulties or add any hope for future improvement." Acceptance by the commission of the NIPSCO electric rate proposal would make the purpose of this hearing moot, Schroer said. NIPSCO did not file petition Northern Indiana Public Service Company did not file a petition for rehearing of the August 13, decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in the Carbon County Coal Company litigation, August 27. Accordingly, the utility will timely pay the slßl million judgment against it to Carbon County Coal Company. "The court’s denial of specific performance of the coal contract, sought by. Carbon ,County, is viewed by NIPSCO as favorable in the long run, ” said Randall C. Jacobs, NIPSCO director of public relations. “Specific performance of the contract for the remaining term of the contract would have cost an estimated $1.5 billion unescalated. ’' NIPSCO does not believe that its continuing ability to pay preferred and preference stock dividends will be affected by payment of the judgment, Jacobs said. However, the payment can affect the timing of the ability of the company to resume payment of common stock dividends, and may also adversely affect its ability to carry out future financing and the terms upon which it obtains such financing, he said. •
