Southwestern Power Administration Fund Establishment Act

This bill would create a Southwestern Power Administration Fund in the U.S. Treasury. The fund would hold the agency's receipts and collections, money Congress appropriates, and leftover balances moved from several existing agency funds. The Secretary of Energy, through the agency's Administrator, would use the money to operate and maintain power transmission facilities, market electric power, build or buy transmission lines and substations, and cover administrative costs. The agency could take on obligations before appropriations are made, and each year it would send excess money in the fund to the Treasury. The bill also repeals or amends older funding provisions so they match the new fund.
