On January 11, 2021, several utilities, including Athens Utilities Board and Gibson Electric Membership Corporation, filed a complaint against Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). They want FERC to require TVA to provide transmission services at fair rates and terms, similar to those TVA gives itself, and to formalize interconnection arrangements. The complaint also requests that others with an interest in the case file their responses or objections by February 1, 2021. This filing is part of a formal process allowing stakeholders to provide their input on the case.
Simple Explanation
Some electricity companies are asking for help to make sure they get fair treatment and prices when using power lines shared by everyone. They want everything to be fair, just like how the main power company treats itself.
