The customer is an affiliate if it controls, is controlled by or is under

as a functional unit. A customer of a seller who is an Exempt
Wholesale Generator may be defined as an affiliate under the Public
Utility Holding Company Act and the FPA.
The FERC tariff reference cites the document that specifies the terms
and conditions under which a Seller is authorized to make
transmission sales, power sales or sales of related jurisdictional
services at cost-based rates or at market-based rates. If the sales are
market-based, the tariff that is specified in the FERC order granting
