Corp., The Energy Group of America
Inc.; Order on Intent To Revoke
Market-Based Rate Authority
Issued August 5, 2009.
Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff,
Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly, Marc Spitzer,
and Philip D. Moeller.
1. Section 205 of the Federal Power
Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824d (2006), and
18 CFR Part 35 (2009), require, among
other things, that all rates, terms, and
conditions of jurisdictional services be
filed with the Commission. In Order No.
2001, the Commission revised its public
utility filing requirements and
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
40181
established a requirement for public
utilities, including power marketers, to
file Electric Quarterly Reports
summarizing the contractual terms and
conditions in their agreements for all
jurisdictional services (including
market-based power sales, cost-based
power sales, and transmission service)
and providing transaction information
(including rates) for short-term and
long-term power sales during the most
recent calendar quarter.1
2. Commission staff’s review of the
Electric Quarterly Report submittals
indicates that six utilities with authority
to sell electric power at market-based
rates have failed to file their Electric
Quarterly Reports. This order notifies
these public utilities that their marketbased rate authorizations will be
revoked unless they comply with the
Commission’s requirements within 15
days of the date of issuance of this
order.
3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission
stated that,
[i]f a public utility fails to file a[n] Electric
Quarterly Report (without an appropriate
request for extension), or fails to report an
agreement in a report, that public utility may
forfeit its market-based rate authority and
may be required to file a new application for
market-based rate authority if it wishes to
resume making sales at market-based rates.2
4. The Commission further stated that,
[o]nce this rule becomes effective, the
requirement to comply with this rule will
supersede the conditions in public utilities’
market-based rate authorizations, and failure
to comply with the requirements of this rule
will subject public utilities to the same
consequences they would face for not
satisfying the conditions in their rate
authorizations, including possible revocation
of their authority to make wholesale power
sales at market-based rates.3
5. Pursuant to these requirements, the
Commission has revoked the marketbased rate tariffs of several market-based
rate sellers that failed to submit their
Electric Quarterly Reports.4
6. As noted above, Commission staff’s
review of the Electric Quarterly Report
submittals identified six public utilities
with authority to sell power at marketbased rates that failed to file Electric

shall file with the Commission all
delinquent Electric Quarterly Reports. If

Secretary is hereby directed, upon
expiration of the filing deadline in this
order, to promptly issue a notice,
effective on the date of issuance, listing
the public utilities whose tariffs have
been revoked for failure to comply with
the requirements of this order and the

filing requirements.

On June 30, 2009, the Commission
issued a notice scheduling staff
technical conferences to examine the
transmission planning processes that are
being conducted pursuant to Order No.

focus of the 2009 regional technical
conferences will be: (1) To determine
the progress and benefits realized by
each transmission provider’s
transmission planning process, obtain
customer and other stakeholder input,
and discuss any areas that may need
improvement; (2) to examine whether
existing transmission planning
processes adequately consider needs
and solutions on a regional or
interconnection-wide basis to ensure
adequate and reliable supplies at just
and reasonable rates; and (3) to explore
whether existing processes are sufficient
to meet emerging challenges to the
