18 CFR part 35 (2019), require, among
other things, that all rates, terms, and
conditions for jurisdictional services be
filed with the Commission. In Order No.
2001, the Commission revised its public
utility filing requirements and
established a requirement for public

utilities, including power marketers, to
file Electric Quarterly Reports.1
2. The Commission requires sellers
with market-based rate authorization to
file Electric Quarterly Reports
summarizing contractual and
transaction information related to their
market-based power sales as a condition
for retaining that authorization.2
Commission staff’s review of the
Electric Quarterly Reports indicates that
the following thirteen public utilities
with market-based rate authorization
have failed to file their Electric
Quarterly Reports: Mint Energy, LLC,
Westmoreland Partners, E–T Global
Energy, LLC, BBPC, LLC, Amerigreen
Energy, Inc., Mac Trading, Inc., Liberty

Energy Power, LLC. This order notifies
these public utilities that their marketbased rate authorizations will be
revoked unless they comply with the
Commission’s requirements within
fifteen days of the date of issuance of
this order.

market-based rate authority if it wishes to
resume making sales at market-based rates.[3]
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.[4]
5. Pursuant to these requirements, the
Commission has revoked the marketbased rate tariffs of market-based rate
sellers that failed to submit their
Electric Quarterly Reports.5
6. Sellers must file Electric Quarterly
Reports consistent with the procedures
set forth in Order Nos. 2001, 768,6 and
770.7 The exact filing dates for Electric
Quarterly Reports are prescribed in 18
CFR 35.10b (2019). As noted above,
Commission staff’s review of the
Electric Quarterly Reports for the period
up to the third quarter of 2019 identified
thirteen public utilities with marketbased rate authorization that failed to
file Electric Quarterly Reports.
Commission staff contacted or
attempted to contact these entities to
remind them of their regulatory
obligations. Despite these reminders, the
public utilities listed in the caption of
this order have not met these
obligations. Accordingly, this order
notifies these public utilities that their
market-based rate authorizations will be
revoked unless they comply with the
Commission’s requirements within
fifteen days of the issuance of this order.
7. In the event that any of the abovecaptioned market-based rate sellers has
already filed its Electric Quarterly
Reports in compliance with the
Commission’s requirements, its
inclusion herein is inadvertent. Such
market-based rate seller is directed,
within fifteen days of the date of
issuance of this order, to make a filing
with the Commission identifying itself
and providing details about its prior
filings that establish that it complied
with the Commission’s Electric
Quarterly Report filing requirements.
