Authority
The provisions of this Subchapter C issued under the Public Utility Code, 66 Pa.C.S. § § 501, 504—508 and 1301, unless otherwise noted.
Notes of Decisions
Levelization of Payments
The rules by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which require rates for utility sales to qualifying facilities be just, reasonable, in the public interest and not discriminate against qualifying facilities, were implemented by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission through regulations which essentially track FERC regulations. Albert Einstein Healthcare Foundation/University of Pennsylvania v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 548 A.2d 339 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1988).
Sales to Qualifying Facilities
This subchapter is consistent with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s rule that levelization of payments over the contract term is permitted, so long as they do not exceed the estimated avoided costs. Lehigh Valley Power Committee v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 563 A.2d 548 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1989).
