NEITC and ISO-NE jointly submitted their Operating Agreement to FERC on January 22, 2010. The Operating Agreement (OA) concludes a three year process that included extensive open stakeholder meetings. In a February 2007 declaratory order, FERC found NEITC to be independent and capable of serving as an independent transmission company as described under Attachment M of the ISO-NE’s open access tariff. NEITC and ISO-NE have requested that FERC approve the NEITC Operating Agreement by March 23, 2010. View the filing here.
