Public Utility Commission manual for Section 210 PURPA for New york
The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) places obligations on both electric utilities and state regulatory commissions. PURPA requires every electric utility to purchase all energy and capacity made available to it, by a qualifying facility, and to sell energy and capacity to a qualifying facility upon the qualifying facility's request. State regulatory commissions must implement and administer these utility obligations and other requirements that were implemented by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) final rules, which became effective March 20, 1981; and must set fair rates for electric power purchases and sales between utilities and small power producers. This manual provides a concise, annotated explanation of the final FERC rules, a description of federal and state statutory authorizations, court challenges to these authorizations, analysis of the relationship between federal and state laws, analysis of New York's implementation of section 210 of PURPA and for comparison, annotations of selected state regulatory authority decisions.
