San Diego Gas & Electric Company; Notice of Filing

January 19, 1995.
    Take notice that on January 18, 1995, San Diego Gas & Electric 
Company (San Diego), filed a Petition For Enforcement pursuant to 
Section 210(h) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 
(PURPA), or, in the alternative, for a Declaratory Order. San Diego 
states that the California Public Utilities Commission (California 
Commission), has ordered San Diego to sign long-term, fixed price 
contracts with qualifying facilities (Qfs) to purchase 491 MW of new 
capacity that will come on line in 1997-99. San Diego 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. San Diego requests the Commission to relieve 
San Diego 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 385.214). All such 
motions or protests should be filed on or before February 8, 1995. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make 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.
