To encourage small power and cogeneration production, the Public Utility Regulatory PolTo encourage small power and cogeneration production, the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) confers benefits on small power and cogeneration facilities that meet certain ownership and technical criteria. EPACT 2005, Section 1253 revises section 210 of PURPA to add section 210(m) that provides for termination of an electric utility’s obligation to purchase energy and capacity from qualifying cogeneration and small power production facilities (QFs). The documentation required provides the Commission with the ability to determine whether to grant relief to an electric utility if it meets certain conditions. Further, the documentation provides a procedure for any affected entity or person to apply to FERC for reinstatement of the electric utility’s obligation to purchase energy.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is proposing to amend its regulations governing small power productions and cogeneration in response to section 1253 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), which added section 210(m) to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). To relieve an electric utility of its mandatory purchase obligation under PURPA, the Commission must identify which, if any, markets meet the criteria contained in 210(m)(1)(A), (B) or (C), and, if such markets are identified, it must determine whether QFs have nondiscriminatory access to those markets.
