Flexibility in Capacity Releases<br />

• Recently, FERC removed rate cap on short-term releases<br />

� Capacity can be awarded at market-based rates<br />

<strong>is</strong> permitted to retain the excess<br />

• Prearranged releases still allowed<br />

• Can negotiate:<br />

� Point changes<br />

� Recall and reput rights<br />

� Termination rights<br />

� Tying arrangement permitted if “bona fide” <strong>AMA</strong><br />
