EPSA Comments on Long Term Transmission Rights in Markets with Locational Pricing

Conclusion

As FERC Staff noted in the May 11 staff papers, ESPA joins other market participants in supporting the exploration of long term financial transmission rights in the organized RTO and ISO markets if the benefits and costs are properly accounted for and assigned among market participants, the use of and access to the transmission system are not degraded, and economic efficiency is demonstrably enhanced. However, the reversion of such transmission rights to physical rights is not acceptable. Noting the reservations expressed above, EPSA therefore can support an examination by the Commission of a multi-year financial transmission rights program on a limited basis and with the input of regional markets’ stakeholder processes.

Respectfully submitted,
