Open Access
Transmission Tariff Filing
In 2010 Duke Energy Carolinas will request FERC approval of a
new rate for the Transmission Service under our Open Access
Transmission Tariff (OATT).
• Current rate was approved in 1996 and was based on 1994 data
• Costs to provide reliable transmission service have increased however, it
is too early in process to quantify rate impacts
• Propose to move from a stated (fixed) rate to a formula rate to be
updated annually
• Propose to have new rates in effect prior to the end of 2010
• Holding discussions with our Network Customers prior to filing the new
rate with FERC

parallel flows across the PJM interface
• Implementation details and timeline are to be
determined
• Combined Non-Firm ATC with PJM will be calculated
and posted on Duke and PEC OASIS sites
• Customers will still reserve transmission service with
either PEC or Duke
