REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF AN ERRATA
To the Commission:
On June 18, 2026, the Commission issued its “Order Instituting Proceeding Under
Section 206 of the Federal Power Act” in this above captioned proceeding.1 In its Order,
the Commission found that PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.’s (“PJM”) existing Open Access
Transmission Tariff (“Tariff”) appears to be unjust, unreasonable, or unduly discriminatory
or preferential and thereafter directed PJM and forty-five (45) Participating Transmission
Owners (“PTOs”) within PJM to show cause with respect to a variety of concerns related
to large load or co-located load transmission and interconnection within sixty (60) days of
the date of its Order.2 Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc. (“WVPA”) has identified a
procedural issue with the Order and respectfully requests that the Commission issue an
errata as soon as practicable.
1 PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., et al, 195 FERC ¶ 61,211 (June 18, 2026) (the “Order”).
2 Id. at P 3.

Before addressing the procedural issue presented below, WVPA desires to clarify
that it does not dispute the need for the Commission to address issues surrounding service
to large load and co-located load within organized markets and elsewhere. Further, WVPA
acknowledges the Commission’s existing precedent regarding non-jurisdictional entities
with certain rate schedules within a jurisdictional RTO or ISO.
The Commission included WVPA as one of the PTOs in the caption of the Order.
However, at footnote 13 of the Order, the Commission described which PTOs it intended
to include in the caption and made clear:
Transmission Owners refers to the entities listed in the caption
of this order. We recognize that PJM’s transmission owners
include entities that are not subject to the Commission’s
jurisdiction because they are not public utilities pursuant to
section 201(f) of the FPA. See 16 U.S.C. § 824(f); Sw. Power
Pool, Inc., 180 FERC ¶ 61,022, at PP 44-45 (2022).
Accordingly, the Commission has not included AMP
Transmission, LLC; City of Hamilton, OH; East Kentucky
Power Cooperative, Inc.; and Southern Maryland Electric
Cooperative, Inc. here as Transmission Owners that must
respond to this order to show cause. Nonetheless, the
Commission retains the authority to review each entity’s
formula rates as a component of PJM’s Tariff in an order to
show cause directed towards PJM, and PJM must respond to
this order regarding the non-public utilities’ PJM Tariff
provisions on file with the Commission. See Sw. Power Pool,
Inc., 180 FERC ¶ 61,022 at P 40.[3]
Like each of the PTO entities listed in footnote 13, WVPA is not a public utility
pursuant to section 201(f) of the FPA. In January 2025 WVPA informed the Commission
that as a result of the termination of one of its members, it ceased to be a public utility on
3 Id. at fn. 13.

January 1, 2025 because it became exempt from the Federal Power Act as a result of being
wholly owned by exempt entities. As of January 1, 2025, WVPA has been wholly owned
by twenty-one electric cooperatives that receive financing under the Rural Electrification
Act of 1936 or sell less than four (4) million megawatt hours annually and by one additional
member, which is wholly owned by WVPA. The Commission subsequently acknowledged
WVPA’s acceptance of its withdrawal of jurisdictional rate schedules based on the change
in status.4
As of today, WVPA is still wholly owned by electric cooperatives that receive
financing under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 or sell less than four (4) million
megawatt hours annually and by the additional member it wholly owns. In fact, WVPA is
itself in the process of receiving financing under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936.
WVPA is a PTO within PJM, however, it is a PTO that is similarly situated to all of the
other non-jurisdictional entities listed in footnote 13 of the Order. WVPA respectfully
submits that it is unaware of any basis, stated within the Order or any facts external to the
Order, to treat WVPA any different. WVPA believes that the Order inadvertently
identified it based on its prior status as a public utility.
In addition, WVPA believes the Commission did not intend to include it as a named
respondent. In the Show Cause Order issued to the California Independent System Operator
(“CAISO”) and its transmission owners in Docket No. EL26-71-000, non-jurisdictional
4 Wabash Valley Power Ass’n, Inc., Docket No. ER25-838-000, (Feb. 12, 2025) (delegated order);

utilities were purposefully included as respondents “because their Transmission Owner
Tariffs on file with the Commission detail the wholesale load interconnection process in
CAISO.”5 The Commission explained that “[i]f a non-public utility wishes to be removed
from this proceeding, we will rescind the show cause order against them at their request,
and we expect CAISO to respond to this order regarding the non-public utility’s CAISO
Tariff provisions on file with the Commission.”6 The Commission did not express a similar
concern with respect to PJM’s non-jurisdictional transmission owners.
As the Commission’s interests are in modifying the terms and conditions of the PJM
Tariff, an errata to the Order affecting PJM would not impact or diminish the Commission’s
stated show cause goals. Further, an errata to the Order would be consistent with the
Commission’s treatment of a request from a similarly situated non-jurisdictional entity in
Docket No. EL26-72-000 regarding the Show Cause Order issued to ISO New England
Inc.7 Based on these facts, WVPA respectfully requests that the Commission issue an
errata to the Order that:
(1) removes WVPA from the caption of Docket No. EL26-67-000, which
intended to identify only PJM and jurisdictional PTOs; and
(2) adds WVPA in the list of non-jurisdictional PTO entities in footnote 13.
If the Commission determines that the requested corrections exceed the scope of

an errata, WVPA respectfully requests in the alternative that the Commission rescind the
Order with respect to WVPA as described in the CAISO Order precedent, as set forth
above.
