FERC-716 pertains to transmission of electricity generated and sold at the wholesale level, i.e., sold to a utility or other entity that will resell that energy to residential, business, or industrial customers. The Federal Power Act (FPA) and the relevant Commission regulations provide for two procedures for a generator of wholesale electricity to seek transmission services. One procedure involves the exchange of information between generators and transmitting utilities under FPA section 213. The other procedure involves an application for a Commission order requiring a transmitting utility to provide wholesale transmission services to the generator-applicant. That second procedure is governed by FPA sections 211 and 212. The Commission’s regulation at 18 CFR 2.20 provides that the Commission may issue an order under FPA sections 211 and 212 only if the applicant has made a good faith request (under FPA section 213) for transmission services to the transmitting utility at least 60 days prior to the filing of an application for such order. The Commission's regulation at 18 CFR 36.1 lists requirements for an application for transmission services pursuant to FPA sections 211 and 212.
