COMMENTS OF THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY ASSOCIATION re: NOTICE OF INQUIRY CONCERNING NATURAL GAS PIPELINE NEGOTIATED RATE POLICIES AND PRACTICES

EPSA'S INTERESTS

EPSA is the national trade association representing competitive power suppliers, including independent power producers, merchant generators and power marketers. These suppliers, who account for more than a third of the nation’s installed generating capacity, provide reliable and competitively priced electricity from environmentally responsible facilities serving global power markets. EPSA seeks to bring the benefits of competition to all power customers. EPSA, as an association representing electric generators and power marketers, is neutral as to the fuel used to generate electricity. At the same time, approximately 61 gigawatts (GW) of the 68 GWs added to the U.S. grid from 1997-2000 use natural gas as their primary fuel. As a result, EPSA members constitute a large pipeline customer segment that has an interest in the efficient operation of the natural gas transportation grid, particularly the overall cost and flexibility of interstate pipeline transportation services and, therefore has an interest in the Commission’s negotiated rate policy inquiry.
