Electric Power Fair Access Act of 1991

Summary

Electric Power Fair Access Act of 1991 - Amends the Federal Power Act to authorize the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) (on its own motion or upon application by certain State entities or other persons generating electric energy for wholesale) to direct a transmitting utility to: (1) provide wholesale transmission service and necessary associated services; and (2) increase transmission capacity if necessary to provide such services. Limits such authority to action on a case-by-case basis. Revises FERC authority with respect to interconnections. Declares that if FERC issues an order permitting a transmitting utility (or affiliate) to make a covered sale of electric energy on a non-cost-of-service basis (including a reasonable rate of return), or if it issues an order permitting a transmitting utility (or affiliate) to merge or consolidate with another public utility, then FERC shall also order such transmitting utility to file a general tariff providing rates, terms and conditions for transmission services for wholesale transactions. Subjects transmission orders and transmissions tariffs to specified standards. Prohibits retail wheeling of electricity under this Act. Requires any transmitting utility denying a request for wholesale transmission services to provide a written explanation, covering certain points, to the requester. Provides for encouragement of regional transmission planning.
