They're also the same rates they have to charge themselves internally for the use of those lines. Some areas of the country have been allowed to charge "congestion fees", which allow higher rates to encourage increased generation or transmission improvements in an area. Congestionn fees are not popular, and I'm guesing that you'll see them drop be the way side. <br /> <br />There has been some talk of nationalizing the entire interstate transmission system, making it a completely open system, paid for by the public, for the use and benefit of the public, similar to the interstate highway system. Interesting concept, and has some merit on the basic priinciples. It'll be interesting to see what comes of that proposal. <br /> <br />Mark in Utah
