FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- JUNE 16, 2008
JEFFERSON CITY—The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved an electric territorial agreement between Missouri Rural Electric Cooperative (Missouri Rural) and the City of Palmyra (Palmyra) which designates the boundaries of each electric supplier in three tracts of land within Marion County.
The territorial agreement designates the boundaries of the exclusive electric service area of Missouri Rural for service to new structures in portions of Marion County. It also provides for an exclusive service territory for Missouri Rural in two tracts of land within Marion County. It also establishes an exclusive service territory for Palmyra in one tract of land within Marion County. The territorial agreement applies to new structures. It does not require the transfer of any facilities or customers.
Based upon a review of this case, “The Commission finds that the territorial agreement will allow Missouri Rural and Palmyra to avoid wasteful duplication of electric services within the affected service area. The territorial agreement will also allow customers to know with certainty the supplier of their electric service. The Commission finds that the territorial agreement is in the public interest,” said the Public Service Commission.
