Bill to shield utility consumers from affiliate costs
Rep. Rick Boucher introduces legislation in the U S House to prevent electric utilities from passing affiliate costs to customers. He cites a 1992 appeals court ruling limiting FERC review of affiliate transactions and argues only FERC can safeguard ratepayers from inflated coal costs paid to sister companies. The bill would restore FERC authority to judge such transactions and protect some 49 million customers served by multi state electric utilities.
