Abstract:
in Docket No. RM10-13-000, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) to amend its regulations under the Federal Power Act Section 206, to reform credit practices in organized wholesale electric markets to ensure that credit practices result in jurisdictional rates that are just and reasonable. Credit practices are particularly important in the organized energy markets, in which regional transmission organizations (RTOs) and independent system operators (ISOs) must balance the need for market liquidity against corresponding risk. In order to ensure that credit policies result in jurisdictional rates that are just and reasonable, FERC proposes to require RTOs and ISOs to adopt tariff revisions reflecting these proposed credit reforms.

Short Statement:
FERC is issuing this NOPR to reform credit practices in organized wholesale electric markets. The recent turmoil in financial markets has emphasized the importance of sound credit practices that provide competitive markets with adequate access to capital without excessive risk and without excessive cost. Credit policies are particularly important in the organized energy markets, in which regional transmission organizations (RTOs) and independent system operators (ISOs) must balance the need for market liquidity against corresponding risk. In order to ensure that credit policies result in jurisdictional rates that are just and reasonable, the Commission proposes to require RTOs and ISOs to adopt tariff revisions reflecting these proposed credit reforms.
