The Commission also considers a seller’s ability to erect other barriers to entry as part of the vertical market power analysis.21 The Commission requires a seller to provide a description of its ownership or control of, or affiliation with an entity that owns or controls, intrastate natural gas transportation, storage or distribution facilities; sites for generation capacity development; and physical coal supply sources and ownership of or control over who may access transportation of coal supplies (collectively, inputs to electric power production).22 The Commission also requires sellers to make an affirmative statement that they have not erected barriers to entry into the relevant market and will not erect barriers to entry into the relevant market.23 The Commission adopted a rebuttable presumption that the ownership or control of, or affiliation with any entity that owns or controls, inputs to electric power production does not allow a seller to raise entry barriers but will allow intervenors to demonstrate otherwise.24 25. With regard to other barriers to entry, Vantage Wind states that it does not, nor does Invenergy Investment, Polsky Energy or their affiliates, own or control in the United States: (i) Intrastate natural gas transportation, storage or distribution facilities or companies that own or control such facilities, or (ii) coal resources or transportation facilities or companies that own or control such things. Moreover, Vantage Wind states that it and its affiliates do not own or control sites located within the Puget balancing authority area that could be used to impose barriers to market entry by other wholesale power suppliers. Vantage Wind states that it owns or has land 20 Vantage Wind December 20 Filing at 10 (citing Grand Ridge Energy, LLC, 128 FERC ¶ 61,134 (2009), Hardee Power Partners Limited, 125 FERC ¶ 61,036 (2008), Wolverine Creek Goshen Interconnection, LLC, Docket No. ER06–267–000 (Jan. 13, 2006) (delegated letter order); Hardee Power Partners Limited, 114 FERC ¶ 61,131 (2006)). 21 Order No. 697, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,252 at P 440. 22 Id.

(B) Vantage Wind is hereby directed to file an updated market analysis for all regions in which it is designated as a Category 2 seller in compliance with the regional reporting schedule adopted in Order No. 697. (C) The Secretary is hereby directed to publish a copy of this order in the Federal Register. B. Reporting Requirements 28. Consistent with the procedures that the Commission adopted in Order No. 2001, an entity with market-based rates must electronically file an Electric Quarterly Report (EQR) with the Commission containing: (1) A summary of the contractual terms and conditions in every effective service agreement for market-based power sales; and (2) transaction information for effective short-term (less than one year) and longterm (one year or longer) market-based power sales during the most recent calendar quarter.25 Public utilities must file EQRs no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting quarter.26 29. Additionally, Vantage Wind must timely report to the Commission any change in status that would reflect a departure from the characteristics the Commission relied upon in granting market-based rate authority.27 30. Vantage Wind must also file updated market power analyses for all Issued April 23, 2012. By the Commission. Nathaniel J.

Failure to file an EQR (without an appropriate request for extension), or failure to report an agreement in an EQR, may result in forfeiture of market-based rate authority, requiring filing of a new application for market-based rate authority if the applicant wishes to resume making sales at market-based rates. 27 Reporting Requirement for Changes in Status for Public Utilities with Market-Based Rate Authority, Order No. 652, FERC Stats. & Regs. ¶ 31,175, order on reh’g, 111 FERC ¶ 61,413 (2005); 18 CFR 35.42(a) (2011).
