FERC role in offshore transmission projects

Messrs. Tarr and OConnor move to amend the amendment in Section 12 by inserting in line 158 after the words “require transmission costs to be incorporated into a proposal”  the following words “, whether the costs are a part of the bid price or related to the delivery of the assigned energy via a federally-regulated transmission tariff; provided, however, that the department of public utilities may authorize or require the relevant parties to seek recovery of the transmission costs of the project through federal transmission rates, consistent with policies and tariffs of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, to the extent the department of public utilities finds that recovery is in the public interest.”
