Short Statement:
Sect. 1241 Energy Policy Act 2005 (P.L. 109-58, 119 Stat. 594, 2005) adds new section 219 to Federal Power Act mandating that no later than a year after enactment of sect. 219, FERC is to establish, by rule, incentive and performance-based rate treatments for transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce by public utilities for the purpose of benefiting consumers by ensuring reliability, reducing the cost of delivered power and reducing transmission congestion. In RM06-4-000 Final Rule, FERC is promoting greater capital investment in new transmission capacity. The need for capital investment in energy infrastructure is national problem that requires a national solution. Inadequate transmission infrastructure results in transmission congestion that impedes competitive wholesale markets and impairs the reliability of the electric grid.
