NE Hydro bills the Phase II HVDC Interconnection Participants to recover its payments. Most Phase II HVDC Interconnection Participants recover their Xxxxxxx SVC-related support payments through regional rates as originally allowed by the Restated NEPOOL Agreement and now by the ISO OATT Section II.49. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the inclusion of the Xxxxxxx SVC Facility for the sole purpose of granting Operating Authority as so limited above, is not meant to subject, in any way, the Xxxxxxx SVC Partnership to regulation as a public utility under the Federal Power Act.
