What changed
FERC published notice of Western Area Power Administration's revision to its non-jurisdictional Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT), filed March 30, 2026 and effective April 1, 2026 under Docket NJ26-7. The revision was submitted pursuant to 18 CFR 35.28(e), which establishes requirements for open access transmission tariffs. WAPA, as a federal power marketing agency under the Department of Energy, maintains this tariff to provide transmission service across its 15,000-mile transmission system in 15 central and western states.
Transmission customers, power marketers, and other entities utilizing WAPA's transmission system should monitor Docket NJ26-7 for any subsequent FERC orders or opportunities to comment. While the tariff is classified as non-jurisdictional, its terms govern the commercial relationship between WAPA and transmission service customers. Entities with existing transmission service agreements or pending applications should verify whether the revision affects their arrangements or pending requests.
What to do next
- Monitor FERC Docket NJ26-7 for any subsequent orders or requests for additional information
- Review WAPA's tariff revision for potential impacts on transmission service arrangements
- Assess whether any modifications to existing transmission agreements are required
