2017-28323. Calpine Corporation and LS Power Associates, L.P. v. ISO New England Inc.; Notice of Complaint

Take notice that on December 21, 2017, pursuant to sections 206 and 306 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824(e), 825e, and Rule 206 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206, Calpine Corporation and LS Power Associates, L.P. (Complainants) filed a formal complaint against ISO New England Inc. (ISO-NE or Respondent) alleging that ISO-NE's Transmission, Markets & Services Tariff (Tariff) is unjust and unreasonable because it requires ISO-NE to treat a new resource that has chosen to lock-in its price under the new entry pricing provisions of the Tariff as effectively having submitted offers into subsequent Forward Capacity Auctions priced at zero, even in circumstances where the development of such resource has been delayed so that it is not expected to be available for the relevant Capacity Commitment Period, all as more fully explained in the complaint.

Complainants certify that copies of the complaint were served on the contacts for ISO-NE, as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate Officials.
