NV ENERGY AND NEVADA REGULATORS URGE FERC TO STICK WITH COST AND REVENUE STUDY DEMAND AND OTHER COMPLIANCE BURDENS IMPOSED ON TUSCARORA

摘要

On 7/7/11, the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) and Sierra Pacific Power Co. d/b/a NV Energy submitted a joint answer to Tuscarora Gas Transmission Co.'s (RP11-1823) request for rehearing of the FERC order, setting Tuscarora's rates for hearing, issued on 6/24/11. PUCN/Sierra Pacific assert that FERC did not exceed Tuscarora's authority under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), nor did it act "arbitrarily or capriciously," when it instructed Tuscarora to file a cost and revenue study and to allow only limited adjustments for changes to Tuscarora projects.
