SECTION E
RETAIL OPEN ACCESS SERVICE AND RATES

RETAIL ACCESS SERVICE RAS-1

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This tariff is intended to provide the terms and conditions associated with Retail Access Service as well as provide
information regarding the roles of the various market participants.

In cases where a Customer chooses to participate in Retail Access Service and obtain Generation Service from an
Alternative Electric Supplier (AES), the Company will maintain a relationship and interact with two separate participants --
the Customer and the AES.

1.1 Customer Role
The Customer is the end-user of Power at one or more locations in the State of Michigan who has facilities connected to the
Company's Distribution System. Under Retail Access Service, the Customer will conduct transactions with at least two
participants - the Company and an AES. The decision to choose an AES or to remain on Company service will be made by
the Customer.

The Customer must already be connected to the Companys Distribution System as a Full Requirements Service Customer
or meet the requirements for new Customers connecting to the Companys Distribution System as defined in the Companys
applicable tariffs and service rules.

1.2 Supplier Role
An Alternative Electric Supplier (AES) is a Person that has been licensed to sell retail electricity in Michigan. AESs take
title to Power and sell Power in Michigan's retail electric market.

An AES makes necessary arrangements to provide Power to Customers, assembles products and/or services, and sells the
products and/or services to Customers. AESs must meet all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements of Michigan
and federal law.

Market participation responsibilities of the AES include: scheduling energy, obtaining and paying for transmission and
ancillary services (including energy imbalance charges), and payment or provision of energy for losses incurred on the
Transmission System and the Distribution System to deliver Power. The AES is responsible for assuring power supply,
arranging deliveries to the Company's Distribution System and managing its own retail sales.

1.3 Definitions
Alternative Electric Supplier (AES): a Person properly licensed by the Commission to sell electric Generation Service to
retail Customers in the state of Michigan. AES does not include the Person who physically delivers electricity from the
AES directly to retail Customers in Michigan.

Commission: the Michigan Public Service Commission.

Company: Wisconsin Electric Power Company or its agent.

Customer: (for purposes of Retail Access Service) a Person with electrical load facilities connected to the Companys
Distribution System and to whom Power is delivered to its Location(s) pursuant to this tariff. All Customers, regardless of
the voltage level of the service, are considered to be connected to the Companys Distribution System.

Default Service: Generation Service provided by the Company to Customers who are no longer being served by an AES for
any number of reasons, in situations where the Customer is not eligible for Full Requirements Service.
