Fair Allocation of Interstate Rates Act

This bill would change the Federal Power Act to limit who pays for certain interstate electric transmission lines. If a transmission line is built or run, in whole or in part, to carry out a state or local policy, a transmission provider serving customers in two or more states could not charge its costs to customers living in other states. The exception is when the other state, or a designated official of that state, expressly agrees to the charges. The bill would also set legal presumptions that only residents of the state with the policy cause and benefit from the line, and would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to issue rules within 180 days.
