16 U.S.C. § 824f — Ordering furnishing of adequate service
submitted 106 years ago by ch. 285 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 107 words · no verdicts yet
When a State commission shows that a public utility’s interstate service is inadequate, the Commission must set the proper service. It cannot force new generating capacity or sales that would impair adequate customer service.
Whenever the Commission, upon complaint of a State commission, after notice to each State commission and public utility affected and after opportunity for hearing, must find that any interstate service of any public utility is inadequate or insufficient, the Commission must determine the proper, adequate, or sufficient service to be furnished, and must fix the same by its order, rule, or regulation: However, the Commission must have no authority to compel the enlargement of generating facilities for such purposes, nor to compel the public utility to sell or exchange energy when to do so would impair its ability to render adequate service to its customers.
