Competitive Generators Seek Rehearing of FERC Station Power Order

Email This Story
October 1, 2010

Several competitive generators and their trade associations sought rehearing of FERC's recent station power order in Docket EL04-130 et. al., claiming that FERC misinterpreted an appeals court decision remanding a station power issue to FERC, and, "pull[ed] the rug out from under market participants who have reasonably relied on nearly a decade's worth of sound precedent preventing states from adopting station power netting rules that conflict with federal requirements and from imposing unduly discriminatory burdens on competitive generators."  

In its order (Matters, 8/31/10), FERC determined that the Commission and the states can use different methodologies when the Commission determines the amount of station power that is transmitted on the Commission-jurisdictional transmission grid and the states determine the amount of station power that is sold in state-jurisdictional retail sales.

The generators noted that FERC's six-page order, in which five pages are devoted to discussing procedural background and only one paragraph addresses the Commission's determination, "does not even attempt to provide a reasoned explanation for the Commission's 180 degree change in position."
