Section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) encourages decentralized power production from renewable energy sources and cogeneration. It requires that electric utilities buy power from qualifying generating facilities at the utility's avoided cost and sell power to them at nondiscriminatory rates. It also exempts the facilities from most federal and state regulation. Entities with responsibilities under FERC's regulations implementing PURPA include state utility commissions, electric utilities, and qualifying facilities.
