By virtue of Sections 3(1) and 71 of the new Electricity Act, S.N.B. 2013, c. 7, on October 1, 2013 New Brunswick Power Corporation (�NB Power�) assumed responsibility for the operations of the integrated electricity system, and by virtue of Section 114 became responsible for the administration of the New Brunswick Open Access Transmission Tariff (the �OATT� or the �Tariff�).
Sections 85 and 111 of the Act require that the OATT provide for open and non-discriminatory access to transmission and ancillary services, and that each transmitter provide such open and non-discriminatory service to transmission customers.
Section 111(3) of the Act requires NB Power to adopt a Standard of Conduct compliance program, and to apply to the Energy and Utilities Board for approval of same. The intent of NB Power is to implement Standards of Conduct (�SOC�) governing itself and its affiliate (New Brunswick Energy Marketing Corporation, referred to as �Energy Marketing�) which substantially conform to those required by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (�FERC�). The ultimate purpose of the SOC is to satisfy FERC requirements in order to preserve access to FERC jurisdictional transmission systems, and to preserve the Market Based Rate Authorization (�MBRA�) issued by FERC and held by Energy Marketing.
These written procedures implement the SOC and apply to interactions and communications between transmission function employees, marketing function employees, or any other employees likely to become privy to transmission function information in performing their roles and responsibilities. Accordingly, this document will be distributed to these employees and any new employees that fall within these categories and posted on the Internet website.
This SOC replaces the Standard of Conduct which, prior to October 1, 2013, appeared as Schedule �L� to the OATT, and refocuses the rules on the areas in which there is the greatest potential for abuse and eliminate barriers to the free flow of information that does not have material potential for abuse.
The following information is posted per the requirements of the Standards of Conduct (SOC) of the New Brunswick Power Corporation and the New Brunswick Energy Marketing Corporation.
