subject : tw capacity options order
the commission issued an order today rejecting transwestern ' s filing to purchase and sell options for firm transportation capacity . the commission found that transwestern has not met its burden of proof that its proposal will overcome the adverse consequences identified by the parties to this proceeding . specifically , the concerns raised by the protestors included : the reservation of future capacity without a concomitant payment of reservation charges , which precludes other shippers that place a higher value on the capacity from acquiring the capacity ; the use of the program for speculative purposes ; and the absence of a recourse options rate to provide protection to shippers as required under the commission ' s negotiated rate authority . i ' m faxing the order . i presume we want to seek rehearing ? maria
