Tri-State applauds Colorado Public Utilities Commission decision

Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association applauded a decision recently by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to dismiss a complaint filed by two members that had asked the commission to set the cost to break their long-term power supply contracts.

“We are pleased that the Colorado Public Utilities Commission agrees that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over member withdrawal charges and that questions of Colorado corporate law are a matter for the state courts,” said Tri-State CEO Duane Highley.

Tri-State also acknowledged the concerns expressed by commissioners as to future Tri-State activity before the CPUC, including new resource plan filing requirements.
