Sec. 824f. Ordering furnishing of adequate service
Whenever the Commission, upon complaint of a State commission, after
notice to each State commission and public utility affected and after
opportunity for hearing, shall find that any interstate service of any
public utility is inadequate or insufficient, the Commission shall
determine the proper, adequate, or sufficient service to be furnished,
and shall fix the same by its order, rule, or regulation: Provided, That
the Commission shall have no authority to compel the enlargement of
generating facilities for such purposes, nor to compel the public
utility to sell or exchange energy when to do so would impair its
ability to render adequate service to its customers.
