    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.

    The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), part of the Department of Energy (DOE), is proposing new formula rates for the Loveland Area Projects and related services. These proposed rates are necessary for WAPA to potentially join the Southwest Power Pool, an organization that manages electricity transmission across several states. The rates will be influenced by projections of future costs and will need approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. If WAPA becomes a member, the new rates would take effect on either the membership date or April 1, 2026, and remain until March 31, 2031, unless changed.
