# APSC Docket 22-032-TF — Large Power High Load Density Service (LPHLDS) Tariff (production overview) The APSC docket establishing **Rate Schedule No. 69, Large Power High Load Density Service (LPHLDS)** — a *tariff* (not a special rate contract) for large industrial customers with high load density. Approved by the Commission via [[LPHLDS Order No. 7 Tariff Approval]] (Doc 40) on 2022-11-04. Notable in the context of this investigation because **Cryptic Farms LLC** (a cryptocurrency mining operation) petitioned to intervene — suggesting the LPHLDS tariff was contemplated for crypto-mining and similar block-load customers. ## What's inside (curated subset) Three filings: - [[LPHLDS Klucher Direct Testimony]] — Doc. 15, 2022-07-28. [[Matthew S. Klucher]]'s direct testimony supporting the tariff filing. - [[LPHLDS Order No. 7 Tariff Approval]] — Doc. 40, 2022-11-04. The 9-page Commission order approving Rate Schedule 69.1. - [[LPHLDS Order No. 8 Additional Reporting]] — Doc. 51, 2025-05-20. Commission order directing additional annual reporting on the LPHLDS tariff. ## Key takeaways - **LPHLDS = Rate Schedule No. 69** — a tariff for large customers with high load density, approved over (limited, withdrawn) intervenor opposition. The tariff is the most-current tariff vehicle for serving very large industrial customers without an individually negotiated SRC. - **Cryptic Farms LLC** (crypto mining) intervened in August 2022 (Doc 20) but withdrew its petition on 2022-09-26 (Doc 34). The tariff is structured to be available to such customers. - **Sierra Club** also petitioned to intervene (Doc 19, 2022-08-04) but was denied (Doc 25, 2022-08-19) — and its motion for reconsideration was not separately granted. - Klucher's 2022 direct testimony in this docket is the testimony cited in his Exhibit MSK-1 in the 26-001-U Class Cost of Service Study ("Direct Testimony (2022). Docket No. 22-032-TF (Entergy Arkansas, LLC). Large Power High Load Density Service."). - The Joint Motion to Waive Hearing was granted by Order No. 6 (Doc 38, 2022-10-10). - **Order No. 8** (2025-05-20) directs additional reporting on the LPHLDS tariff — the Commission requires EAL to file supplemental information annually. EAL filed a 2025 Supplemental Annual Report (Doc 52, 2025-06-30) and Schwegler supplemental testimony (Doc 53). The HSPI version of the annual report contains the customer-specific data. ## Cross-references - [[Matthew S. Klucher]] — Klucher's MSK-1 references this docket - [[Special rate contract]] — the tariff is a related-but-distinct mechanism - [[psc/docket-22-032-tf-large-power-2026-05-22/_overview|Docket 25-055-P]] — Google's SRC uses a different mechanism than the LPHLDS tariff, but both serve the "very large customer" category ## Open questions / follow-ups - Whether any specific hyperscale data center is taking service under Rate Schedule 69 (LPHLDS) rather than under an SRC — the annual reports' HSPI versions would show customer names but the public versions redact them. - The LPHLDS Rate Schedule 69 tariff text — not retrieved this session.
