Plain-English summary
Energy Price and Economic Stability Act of 2001 - Instructs the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to establish cost-of-service-based rates for electric energy (unless generated by a new generation facility) that is sold at wholesale, through April 30, 2003, for use in the area covered by the Western Systems Coordinating Council of the North American Electric Reliability Council.
Provides for State enforcement of this Act.
Instructs FERC to order refunds of rates and charges in the area covered by the Coordinating Council if electric energy sales were not just and reasonable.
Amends the Federal Power Act to prohibit any FERC order for emergency connection or exchange of facilities unless the person subject to such order has been guaranteed full payment or reimbursement by either the Federal or State government.
