Sec. 837e. Transmission lines for other electric energy; rates
Any capacity in Federal transmission lines connecting, either by
themselves or with non-Federal lines, a generating plant in the Pacific
Northwest or Canada with the other area or with any other area outside
the Pacific Northwest, which is not required for the transmission of
Federal energy or the energy described in section 837h of this title,
shall be made available as a carrier for transmission of other electric
energy between such areas. The transmission of other electric energy
shall be at equitable rates determined by the Secretary, but such rates
shall be subject to equitable adjustment at appropriate intervals not
less frequently than once in every five years as agreed to by the
parties. No contract for the transmission of non-Federal energy on a
firm basis shall be affected by any increase, subsequent to the
execution of such contract, in the requirements for transmission of
Federal energy, the energy described in section 837h of this title, or
other electric energy.
