MOTION FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE AND PROTEST OF THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY ASSOCIATION re: SeTRANS PETITION

CONCLUSION

WHEREFORE, EPSA respectfully requests that the Commission grant its motion for leave to intervene and, further, reject the SeTrans governance/business model proposal given that it does not satisfy Order No. 2000’s independence requirements. Additionally, EPSA requests that the Commission require SeTrans to immediately implement procedures to allow meaningful Stakeholder participation in developing necessary details for the establishment of an independent board that will ensure a structure that meets the Order No. 2000 independence requirements. Lastly, the Commission should direct SeTrans Sponsors to reconsider their proposals for the treatment of grandfathered contracts, FTRs, and interconnection rules, so as not to further inhibit the realization of a competitive energy market in the Southeast. At a minimum, the Commission must ensure that these proposals do not preempt, but rather adopt, the Commission’s SMD and generation interconnection final rules.
