Plan for Accessible Utility Information

Required by PUC Rule 25.223(e)

Filed by Rio Grande Electric Cooperative, Inc. (the "Cooperative")

Under Project Number 20176

13.	This is the Cooperative's plan for making certain utility information available to the public as required by §25.223(e). The Cooperative will make available to the public information that the cooperative has classified as accessible utility information. The accessible utility information will be made available in accordance with this plan and the Cooperative's service regulations pertaining to accessible utility information.

2.	Accessible utility information does not include (a) administrative information necessary for the operation of the affected utility; (b) proprietary customer information; (c) trade secrets; or (d) competitively sensitive information (hereinafter collectively referred to as "non- accessible utility information"). "Proprietary customer information" is defined as any information compiled by the Cooperative, by a consultant hired by the Cooperative or anyone else acting on behalf of the Cooperative in the normal course of providing electric service which makes possible the identification of any individual customer by matching such information with the customer's name, address, account number, type or classification of service, individual contract terms and conditions, price, current charges, billing records, or any other information that the customer has expressly requested not be disclosed. "Trade secrets" shall include, but are not limited to, customer names and addresses, prices, individual customer contracts, and expected load and usage data.

3.	The customer service unit of the Cooperative shall be responsible for maintaining the accessible utility information and for handling all requests for obtaining copies of the accessible utility information.

4.	To the extent it has been compiled after November 25, 1998, during the normal course of providing electric service and to the extent it is accessible utility information (excluding all non-accessible utility information), the Cooperative will maintain for a period of three years the following types of accessible utility information:

a)	information used to prepare electric tariffs;

b)	information used to provide electric service to customers; and

c)	information used to market, sell, or demonstrate any electric or energy-related service or product.

5.	To the extent it has been compiled before November 25, 1998, during the normal course of providing electric service and to the extent it is accessible utility information (excluding all non-accessible utility information), the Cooperative will maintain for a period of three years the following types of historic accessible utility information:

a)	non-customer-specific load-research data;

b)	hourly-load-profile data;

c)	appliance and equipment saturation surveys; and

d)	market surveys

6.	This historic accessible utility information listed in items (a) through (d) of this Paragraph 5 will be made available within 60 days of the effective date of §25.223(e)(3). All other data will be made available in accordance with the Cooperative's service regulations pertaining to accessible utility information.

7.	In the past three years, the Cooperative has not destroyed any accessible utility information.

8.	The information maintained by the Cooperative will be in the format in which the data was originally generated or subsequently summarized. All requests for copies of accessible utility information will be handled in accordance with the Cooperative's service regulations related to accessible utility information.
