Who is eligible to be provided FMA?
Domestic buyers refers to parties purchasing electricity for consumption in Canada. All domestic buyers are eligible to be provided FMA as long as such buyers have access to the transmission system within Canada and have the legal ability to effect a purchase[1]. The granting of the legal ability to purchase electricity from the wholesale electricity markets for domestic consumption is a matter within provincial jurisdiction.
