Planning Update
ATC Energy Collaborative – Michigan
ATC has undertaken an energy collaborative in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and is working with stakeholders to customize. The UP is a system in balance between load, generation and transmission capability and the location of generation and loads matters greatly. The UP is also being increasingly impacted by market flows. Recently, a number of changes and possible changes in load and generation across the UP and changes in generation and transmission in lower Michigan dictated the need for a more strategic approach to planning. ATC will be using the strategic flexibility approach that was used in the Paddock-Rockdale project to define a number of plausible futures and analyze them to find alternatives that meet needs in a number of futures. ATC is working with customers and stakeholders to customize the ATC futures described above for the Upper Peninsula. Analysis will take place late this year and results are expected in 2nd quarter of 2009.

Order 890 Order and Implementation
ATC received a favorable order from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on the Attachment FF tariff filing that was made in December 2007. We have a minor compliance filing to make and are coordinating with the Midwest ISO to ensure consistency.

ATC began implementing the Order 890 tariff in the 1st quarter with customer and stakeholder meetings to refine futures and define the two economic analyses ATC committed to as part of the tariff. ATC futures have been successfully defined with good input and feedback from the stakeholders and customers. Analysis of projects will begin as soon as MISO models are received with results anticipated late in the year.

ATC Successful in Green Tier Audit
As part of ATC's ongoing commitment as a Green Tier participant, the company recently completed an audit. All elements of its environmental management system called "Fred" were deemed in conformance with both Green Tier and ISO 14001 standards. The audit complimented ATC's construction processes, and the awareness of employees and contractors in understanding environmental policy and the need for environmental protection and compliance. Also noted were ATC's corrective and preventive action process, and its commitment to continuous improvement.

In October 2005, ATC became the first utility - and one of only five organizations - to be accepted into Wisconsin's new Green Tier program. Green Tier, administered by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, now has 33 participants throughout the state. The program recognizes buisness and organizations that demonstrate superior environmental performance and dedication to continuous improvement and strives to encourage responsible environmental decision-making to protect and restore natural resources.
