12 PURPA -1978 Federal Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, Section 210, (PURPA). This legislation created a new legal category of power plants known as qualifying facilities, QFs, , & new market entrants called independent power producers, IPPs. . Contracts for power from QFs typically covered the life of the plant, because the only outlet for power from a QF was the local utility. Subsequently, utilities asked Congress and state PUCs to reform the power purchase requirements of PURPA. Although Congressional action is still pending, PURPA did create a new category of power producers.
13 Transmission and Distribution The transmission grid moves wholesale power from generators to distributors. The distribution system moves retail power from distributors to customers. Transmission will continue to be regulated at the federal level by FERC. Distribution will continue to be regulated at the state level by state commissions.
