R. & Regs. 1220-1-1, Rules of the Tennessee Regulatory Authority Rules and Regulations of Practice and Procedure.
8-TN-c.1 to 8-TN-c.2 – Is a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity Required?
A developer may need to obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CCN) from the Tennessee Public Utility Commission (TPUC) to construct or operate a “line, plant, or system” for the public sale of electricity. Tenn. Code Ann. §65-4-201(a). If the project does not generate, transmit or distribute electricity for public sale, then the developer does not need a CCN.
In Tennessee, a developer must obtain a CCN:
If the developer is a public utility that seeks to construct or operate a “line, plant, or system;” or “to route in or into a municipality or other territory already receiving a like service from another public utility;”
If the developer is a person or corporation that seeks to construct a “line, plant, [or] system…to be operated as a public utility” or to be owned by a public a utility, Tenn. Code Ann. §65-4-201(a); or,
If the developer is a person or corporation that seeks to “extend or construct transmission or distribution lines…into or within the state” to deliver electricity from outside Tennessee. Tenn. Code Ann. §65-4-208(a).
The definition of public utility excludes:
State agencies and political subdivisions; and
Certain homeowners associations where the associations “own, construct, operate or maintain…service systems for the exclusive use” if a subdivision” so long as the “subdivisions are unable to obtain such services from the local utility district.”
Tenn. Code Ann. §65-4-101(6)(a)(ix)(B)(i).
Cooperative associations organized under the Electric Cooperative Act or Electric Membership Corporation Act.
TPUC – Information to Support an Initial CCN Petition.
The developer must file the Petition and supporting documents to the TPUC Chair. The TPUC requires a “written original and four (4) written copies of all electronic documents” or “an unbounded, one sided original and thirteen (13) copies of all written documents” submitted to the TPUC Chair. Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1220-1-1-.03(4).
