MBR Database General Information

• The market-based rate (MBR) relational database (MBR Database), established by the Commission in Order No. 860, is a modern repository for the public and the Commission to access information submitted by MBR sellers. Sellers seeking authorization or seeking to retain authorization to engage in sales for resale of electric energy, capacity, or ancillary services at market-based rates under section 205 of the Federal Power Act are required to submit certain information to the MBR Database as well as keep this information current.
