Open-access rules stimulate technology questions
Since the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for transmission open access on March 29, 1995, the electric utility industry has been in a tailspin. The open-access transmission rules require electric utilities that own and/or control facilities used for transmission of electricity to give all power generators access to their power lines, while charging the power generators the same transportation rate the utilities charge themselves. Since its birth, utilities have been trying to figure out how they will be affected by the NOPR. They have also been trying to determine what type of technology they will use to meet the requirements. To date, there is still not a clear-cut answer to this question.
