- 1980, alternating curr,ent instead of the construction of synchronous interconnections between ERCOT utilities and SWPP utilities, as advocated in the CPSL Applica-tion of February 9, 1979, could have effects on utilities both in ERCOT and SWPP and throughout the southwesterp United States that would be anticompetitive, inconsistent with the public in-terest and contrary to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 ("PURPA").
5.
