Group appeals regulator’s denial of Cobb EMC investigation
By Janel Davis
Aug 26, 2011A group of Cobb EMC customers requested Friday for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rehear its denial of an investigation of Cobb EMC.
Earlier this month the FERC denied a request by EMC some customers to investigate the co-op for violating the Federal Power Act. The EMC failed to make required FERC disclosures and that relationships with the separate for-profit Cobb Energy company violated federal rules, according to the customers.
The FERC erred in its decision by classifying Cobb Energy as a co-operative that was beneficial to its members, instead of a privately held affiliate benefiting some EMC executives, according to Friday’s rehearing request.
