What this bill would do
This bill proposes the creation of the Southwestern Power Administration Fund within the United States Treasury. The Fund will consist of various receipts, collections, recoveries, and specific appropriations or transfers. The Secretary of Energy, through the Administrator, will use these funds for specific operational and administrative needs. These uses include power transmission maintenance, marketing electric power, and construction of facilities. Additionally, the bill allows for incurring obligations before appropriations are liquidated. Any excess funds must be transferred annually back to the Treasury.
