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
