FERC approves transmission rules for SEEM market, dismissing open access concerns

In this mention

FERC approved transmission rules for the Southeast Energy Exchange Market (SEEM) on a 3-1 vote, dismissing concerns from advocacy groups including SACE that the rules violate open access requirements. The decision allows SEEM utilities to offer non-firm energy exchange transmission service to participants, bringing the planned mid-2022 market launch closer to reality. Opponents argue the framework creates discriminatory barriers and allows utilities to evade open access obligations through their own market design choices.
