ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Puget Sound Power and Light Company ("Puget") established the Puget Power
Conservation Grantor Trust 1995-1 (the "Trust") as of June 8, 1995 pursuant
to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement between Puget, as Seller and Servicer,
and Chemical Bank, as Trustee. Puget sold and transferred to the Trust the
Purchased Assets (as defined below), which included the unamortized balance
of previous expenditures by Puget on customer conservation measures that, as
of June 1, 1995, were in rate base in the amount of $202,494,850 (the
"Bondable Conservation Investment Amount").
The Trust issued $202,250,000 principal amount of 6.45% Conservation Pass-
Through Certificates, Series 1995-1 (the "Certificates"), which represent
the entire beneficial interest of the Trust. The Certificates are entitled
to the benefits of the State of Washington Conservation Financing Statute
(the "Statute"), which gives the Servicer of the Trust the right to
recover in rates an amount equal to the Bondable Conservation Investment
Amount plus interest thereon at the certificate rate of 6.45% per annum and
other costs. The Statute expressly defines this statutory right as an item of
property that may be sold, pledged or otherwise made the basis for the
issuance of securities. The Statute permits revenue allocations from a
tariff levied on all of Puget's retail customers (the "Tariff") and
obligates the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (the
"Commission") to maintain rates under the Tariff sufficient to fully
amortize the Bondable Conservation Investment Amount and the costs of
capital associated therewith in accordance with terms of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
Puget, as Servicer of the Trust, is responsible for billing, servicing,
managing and making collections on the Purchased Assets and remitting such
collections to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In addition, Puget is responsible for calculating any revised Tariffs and
applying to the Commission for any adjustments to the Tariff or any revised
Tariff and acts as custodian of all documents and instruments relating to
the Purchased Assets. Every three months, Puget is paid a fee for acting as
Servicer (the "Servicer's Fee") which consists of a fixed portion ($1,251.06
for the period ended September 30, 1995; $198.20 for each three month period
thereafter) and a variable portion equal to the investment earnings on
amounts collected and remitted to the Trustee during the applicable three
month period.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The assets sold to the trust (the "Purchased Assets") consist of (i) the
right to receive the revenues allocated to the Trust pursuant to the Tariff
and any revised Tariffs as well as the right under the Statute to have rates
under the Tariff and any revised Tariffs maintained at levels sufficient for
recovery of the Bondable Conservation Investment Amount, plus interest on
the Certificates, the Servicer's Fee and a fee payable to the Trustee
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the right to payments
under contracts between Puget and certain customers, which obligate such
customers, if they change energy suppliers, to pay termination fees, and
(iii) upon a voluntary or involuntary sale of Puget's utility property used
to serve customers who cease to be customers as a result of such sale, the
portion of the sale proceeds equal to the amount, if any, of the unamortized
Bondable Conservation Investment Amount that the Commission removes from
Puget's rate base pursuant to the Statute as a result of such sale.
1
On September 30, 2004 (or such later date as may be established pursuant to
the terms of the order of the Commission which, among other things, approved
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby), the Tariff or any revised Tariff then in effect will terminate and
no further billings will be made thereunder.
