It should be noted that the Joint Petition for Settlement in the investigation
of FirstEnergy’s reliability performance requires Met-Ed to achieve an
established reliability benchmark for SAIDI by the end of 2007. 23 The settlement
requires Met-Ed to achieve at least a 5% improvement over the 2003 achieved
SAIDI for the 12 months ending December 31, 2007. In addition, the settlement
requires Met-Ed achieve SAIDIs for the calendar years 2005 and 2006 that
reflect values equal to or better than its achieved SAIDI for 2003. The resulting
settlement SAIDI milestones are 140 for the calendar years 2005 and 2006 and
133 for the calendar year 2007. By letter dated June 22, 2006, Prosecutory Staff
informed Met-Ed that it is in violation of the Settlement and requested that a
specific remediation plan be implemented. Per the letter, Prosecutory Staff
informed Met-Ed that if it does not adopt an acceptable remediation plan,
Prosecutory Staff will request that the Commission impose penalties, including,
but not limited to, fines for noncompliance with the Settlement.
23 On January 16, 2004, the Commission instituted an investigation of FirstEnergy’s compliance with the
Commission’s regulations and orders relating to reliable electric service, and seeking recommendations for
reliability improvements. On November 4, 2004, the Commission approved a Joint Petition for Settlement which,
among other things, sets forth goals for improving reliability performance and achieving milestone levels of
reliability by the end of 2005, 2006 and 2007 for Met-Ed, Penelec and Penn Power. Docket No. I-00040102.
