Poised to compete
One of the most perplexing problems facing many growing municipal electric utilities is the annexation of service territory that has been granted by the Public Utility Commission to electric cooperatives or investor-owned electric utilities. In the community of Loveland, Colorado. The problem has been particularly difficult when dealing wit hthe local rural electric cooperative. This is due, in large part, to an aggressive economic development policy over the last decade or so that has resulted in a prect deal of annexation, primarily of the copies service territory. The primary dispate is the question of what constitutes fair and just compensation for the customers, both present and future, of the annexed service territory. This has become a very emotional issue. Unable to reach as agreement in this territorial dispate with the neighboring rural electric coop, Loveland has decided to compete head-to-head. The activities of the Loveland Light and Power Company to meet the competitive of the local coop are discussed.
