Local electric transmission facility
Official statutory text
A. If the Southwest Power Pool has approved a local electric
transmission facility in a Southwest Power Pool transmission plan
and has formally directed the incumbent electric transmission owner
or owners, if there is more than one owner, to construct, own and
maintain the local electric transmission facility, the incumbent
electric transmission owner or owners shall give notice to the
Southwest Power Pool, in writing, within ninety (90) days of receipt
of the direction to construct by the Southwest Power Pool, regarding
its intent to construct, own and maintain the local electric
transmission facility. If notice is not provided, the incumbent
electric transmission owner shall surrender its right to construct,
own and maintain the local electric transmission facility.
B. If an incumbent electric transmission owner or owners give
notice of intent not to construct the local electric transmission
facility or fail to provide notice as required in subsection A of
this section, then the Southwest Power Pool may determine whether
the incumbent electric transmission owner or owners or other entity
will construct, own and maintain the local electric transmission
facility.
C. Nothing in this section is intended to limit the ability of
any person to notify the Southwest Power Pool that it believes an
incumbent electric transmission owner with the right to construct,
own and maintain a local electric transmission facility originally
approved by the Southwest Power Pool has failed to exercise its
right to construct, own and maintain the local electric transmission
facility within a reasonable period of time and request that the
Southwest Power Pool rescind the right to construct, own and
maintain the local electric transmission facility and assign the
rights to another incumbent electric transmission owner.
