FERC Affirms Exclusive Jurisdiction over Tri-State Generation and Transmission Rates and Exit Charges
Last week, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) affirmed its exclusive jurisdiction over Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association’s rates and member exit charges, and further reaffirmed that Tri-State’s addition of new members was lawful under the Federal Power Act. The decision preempts Colorado Public Utilities Commission jurisdiction on these matters.
