INTRODUCTION At 4:10 p.m., on August 14, 2003, dozens of patrons at the Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio sat suspended in the air within the confined spaces of the Magnum XL200 roller coaster, which had come to a sudden halt three-quarters of the way up the steepest drop. (1) At this time, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; and Toronto and Ottawa, Canada; endured a complete electrical blackout that lasted until 1 a.m. the following day for many customers. (2) Authorities attributed the blackout to multiple failures in the electricity grid. (3) In the last forty years, various portions of the United States endured a complete, albeit temporary, loss of electricity due to grid failure. (4) These instances highlight the need for a more secure, reliable, and competitive transmission grid. Recently, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) promulgated Order No. 681, which extended the duration of long-term firm electrical transmission rights for current holders of such rights to ensure reliable electrical flows without harming competition. (5) Previously, FERC failed to delineate clearly any specifications as to the duration of long-term firm transmission rights, but FERC had a marked preference for longer terms of transmission service. (6) For example, FERC has, on occasion, allowed terms of transmission service up to twenty years in duration. (7) Order No. 681, however, will further exacerbate many of the market power issues experienced in U.S. electricity markets. (8) Because electrical transmission capacity should be an essential facility within the context of antitrust enforcement, FERC's decision to extend the duration of long-term firm transmission rights will serve to limit competition as holders of long-term firm transmission have incentives to congest transmission lines and engage in other gaming behaviors to prevent entry into deregulated electricity markets. (9) This Article will provide: (1) a brief history of electricity deregulation and the current structure of the transmission grid; (2) a discussion of the antitrust implications of firm transmission rights and gaming behaviors; (3) examples of how the international community addresses the noncompetitive aspects of transmission capacity; and (4) a cost/benefit analysis of possible remedies, including a complete separation of generation from transmission facilities and a complete nationalization of the transmission market. …
