Southern California Edison Company; Filing

January 6, 1995.
    Take notice that on January 6, 1995, Southern California Edison 
Company (Edison) filed a Petition For Enforcement pursuant to Section 
210(h) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). 
Edison states that the California Public Utilities Commission 
(California Commission) has ordered Edison to sign long-term, fixed-
price contracts with qualifying facilities (QFs) to purchase 686 MW of 
new capacity that will come on line in 1997-99. Edison asserts that 
these new contracts will require payments above its avoided cost and 
will dramatically increase stranded costs in a soon to be restructured 
electric utility industry. Edison requests the Commission to relieve 
Edison and its customers from these California Commission orders which 
it asserts violate both PURPA and this Commission's regulations. 18 CFR 
Part 292.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 18 CFR 385.214). All such 
motions or protests should be filed on or before January 27, 1995. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make 
[[Page 2960]] protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing 
to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this 
filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public 
inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
