3. The following is an accurate and complete summary of the content of the record(s) being filed:
  Detailed fuel cost information, methodology, and production volumes.
4. There is a reasonable basis to conclude that the record, or portion of a record, is one of the following:
 
The record contains trade secrets as defined in Wis. Stat. §134.90.
The record contains information which would aid a competitor of a public utility in competition with the public utility making the request under Wis. Stat. §196.14.

The record is protected business information under Wis. Stat. §196.795(9).

5. How the record satisfies number 4
  The information provides detailed volumes and prices for coal, combustion turbine, and other electric plant generation. Competitors may use this information to guide their pricing strategy for selling electric generation. This information is economically valuable because it is not generally known or readily ascertainable and its disclosure would aid utility competitors and electricity suppliers. The loss of value and aid to competitors and suppliers resulting from disclosure would competitively disadvantage the Company in the market and potentially lead to higher electric costs for sales customers.
