[Tdstf] Developer Selection Task Force: Cost Recovery Language

[Sharon Segner]

Heidi,
Ferc was abundantly clear that if a project makes its way through the regional process, the project developer will be eligible to use the regional cost allocation framework.

I would like to propose that we have a special call on this topic, so the task force has clear understanding of what this means and doesn't mean.

Sharon

iii. Commission Determination

344. We find that the comments concerning cost recovery are outside the scope of the instant proceeding. Order No. 1000 did not specify how costs can be recovered for transmission projects that are selected in the regional transmission plan for purposes of cost allocation, a conclusion affirmed in Order No. 1000-A.610 Further, while the Commission stated that, to the extent that cost recovery provisions are considered in connection with a cost allocation method or methods for a regional or interregional transmission facility, public utility transmission providers may include cost recovery provisions in their compliance filings,611 Filing Parties did not include cost recovery provisions in their compliance filings. Therefore, we dismiss the comments concerning cost recovery because they are outside the scope of the instant proceeding.
