Sec. 824f. Ordering furnishing of adequate service

    Whenever the Commission, upon complaint of a State commission, after 
notice to each State commission and public utility affected and after 
opportunity for hearing, shall find that any interstate service of any 
public utility is inadequate or insufficient, the Commission shall 
determine the proper, adequate, or sufficient service to be furnished, 
and shall fix the same by its order, rule, or regulation: Provided, That 
the Commission shall have no authority to compel the enlargement of 
generating facilities for such purposes, nor to compel the public 
utility to sell or exchange energy when to do so would impair its 
ability to render adequate service to its customers.
