Athens Utilities Board, Gibson Electric 

Membership Corporation, Joe Wheeler 

Electric Membership Corporation, 

Volunteer Energy Cooperative v. 

Tennessee Valley Authority; Notice of 

Complaint 

Take notice that, on January 11, 2021, 

Athens Utilities Board, Gibson Electric 

Membership Corporation, Joe Wheeler 

Electric Membership Corporation, and 

Volunteer Energy Cooperative 

(Complainants) filed a formal complaint 

against Tennessee Valley Authority 

(TVA or Respondent), pursuant to 

sections 211A, 306, 307, 308, and 309 of 

the Federal Power Act (FPA), and 18 

CFR 386.206, requesting that the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission) exercise its authority 

under FPA section 211A to order TVA 

to provide unbundled transmission 

service at rates and on terms and 

conditions that are comparable to those 

under which TVA provides 

transmission services to itself and that 

are not unduly discriminatory or 

preferential. Complainants further 

request that the Commission exercise its 

authority under FPA section 210 to 

formalize the interconnection 

arrangements between Complainants 

and TVA in order to facilitate the 

provision of transmission service 

ordered under FPA section 211A, all as 

more fully explained in the complaint. 

The Complainants certify that copies 

of the complaint were served on the 

contacts listed for Respondent in the 

Commission’s list of Corporate Officials. 

Any person desiring to intervene or to 

protest this filing must file in 

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). 

Protests will be considered by the 

Commission in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but will 

not serve to make protestants parties to 

the proceeding. Any person wishing to 

become a party must file a notice of 

intervention or motion to intervene, as 

appropriate. The Respondent’s answer 

and all interventions, or protests must 

be filed on or before the comment date. 

The Respondent’s answer, motions to 

intervene, and protests must be served 

on the Complainants. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically may mail similar 

pleadings to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE, Washington, DC 20426. Hand 

delivered submissions in docketed 

proceedings should be delivered to
