Notice of Utility Tariff Filing
The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that the Railbelt Transmission Organization (RTO) filed TA1-8001, its initial nondiscriminatory open access transmission tariff (OATT). The proposed OATT includes a table of contents, maps and a list of lines that comprise the Railbelt’s backbone transmission system, sets forth common service provisions, terms and conditions for network integration transmission service, and contains a revenue mechanism that includes an annual transmission revenue requirement template to be used by all transmission owners that is consistent with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) standards. The RTO has requested an effective date for the OATT that coincides with the Commission’s approval or acceptance of the RTO’s future initial cost of service filing.
This notice does not contain all requested revisions, and the Commission may approve a rate or classification that varies from those proposed.
