More Special Treatment For ECP

According to this memo, Yellowstone Valley Electric discovered in January 2009 that for years NWE has been charging a 4% "energy and demand loss" to SME.

According to YVEC, Tim Gregori did not know about this billing until they (YVEC) brought it to his attention after the January SME board meeting. (At the February SME meeting, Tim evidently told everyone that the issue was discussed in January).

Very interestingly, when YVEC asked if ECP would be charged this additional 4% like the co-ops, they were told no, because ECP is a "distribution customer". Needless to say, YVEC doesn't think that should make a difference.

In this memo, YVEC asked that there be a vote taken by the SME board at its March meeting on this matter.

I wonder if it was. Probably not.

Let's see 'how' - and who - voted on our 'behalf' in this debacle...
