The Cooperative will construct, own, and maintain supply facilities located on the highway or on right-of-ways acquired by or on behalf on the Cooperative and used or usable as part of the Cooperative's general electrical system. The provisions of this section apply to electrical facilities only.
29.1 Obligation to Extend, to Enlarge, or to Change:
(a) With respect to the single phase line extensions, the Cooperative's obligations are limited to these rules and regulations and to such extent only on condition that no extraordinary costs of construction may be involved.
Applications involving extensions requiring abnormal construction which would result in extraordinary costs may be considered as special cases to be handled as the circumstances warrant.
Examples include going underground, crossing rivers and ponds, extending to an island, as well as the use of submarine cable.
(b) With respect to poly phase line extensions, the Cooperative's obligation to extend its facilities to a new point at existing points of delivery, or to change the characteristics of service at existing points of delivery, is limited to the assumption of new investment to the extent warranted by the revenue anticipated from the business to be supplied.
The Cooperative may establish special requirements based on the circumstances and the cost of construction in individual cases.
The Cooperative is not obligated under the single phase line extension policy to provide temporary service or to extend its lines to a nonpermanent structure.
