Preventing Undue Discrimination and Preference in Transmission Service
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission affirms its basic determinations in Order No. 890, granting rehearing and clarification regarding certain revisions to its regulations and the pro forma open- access transmission tariff, or OATT, adopted in Order Nos. 888 and 889 to ensure that transmission services are provided on a basis that is just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory. The reforms affirmed in this order are designed to: (1) Strengthen the pro forma OATT to ensure that it achieves its original purpose of remedying undue discrimination; (2) provide greater specificity to reduce opportunities for undue discrimination and facilitate the Commission's enforcement; and (3) increase transparency in the rules applicable to planning and use of the transmission system.
