[Docket Nos. EC96-19-007, ER96-1663-008, et al.]
Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas & Electric
Company, and Southern California Edison Company, et al.; Notice of
Filings
November 6, 1997.
Take notice that on October 31, 1997, Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E), San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E), and
Southern California Edison Company (Edison), (collectively ``the
Companies''), and the California Independent System Operator
Corporation (ISO), tendered for filing several filings related to the
pro forma reliability Must-Run Agreements contained in Exhibit G of the
ISO Operating Agreement and Tariff.
Docket Nos. EC96-19-007 and ER96-1663-008
In Docket No. EC96-19-007 and ER96-1663-008, the ISO filed
amendments to the pro forma reliability Must-Run Agreements contained
in Exhibit G of the ISO Operating Agreement and Tariff. The ISO
requests that these amendments be considered with the reliability Must-
Run Agreement rate filings of the Companies, filed on October 31, 1997.
Docket No. ER98-495-000
In Docket No. ER98-495-000, PG&E tendered for filing a proposed
Must-Run Agreement and Cost support for rates included in schedules to
the Agreement. PG&E requests that this filing be made effective by
January 1, 1998, to enable the ISO to provide transmission service
using the dispatch of reliability must-run generating units covered by
this Agreement when needed.
PG&E states that this filing is a further part of the comprehensive
restructuring proposal for the California electric power industry whose
implementation relies on several rate schedules filed and to be filed
with the Commission. According to PG&E, the Agreement authorizes the
ISO to dispatch, for
[[Page 60896]]
energy or specified ancillary services, certain steam thermal,
geothermal and hydroelectric generating facilities owned and operated
by PG&E, when needed to assure reliable service. PG&E states that this
dispatch will normally be necessary when a local transmission
constraint limits the ability of the ISO to transmit enough energy or
ancillary services available from successful bids into the California
Power Exchange (PX) to serve load in certain areas with transmission
constraints.
Docket No. ER98-496-000
In Docket No. ER98-496-000, SDG&E tendered for filing the terms and
conditions, including rates and performance criteria of SDG&E's
proposed Master Must Run Agreement to be entered into with the ISO.
SDG&E requests that the filing be made effective subject to refund
within 60 days of this filing but no later than January 1, 1998.
SDG&E states that the proposed filing is intended to implement a
portion of the comprehensive restructuring of the California electric
industry proposed in Docket Nos. EC96-19-000 and ER96-1663-000. SDG&E
further states that the proposed filing would establish the rates,
terms, and conditions under which it will provide energy and ancillary
services to the ISO as necessary to ensure reliability of the ISO
controlled grid.
Docket No. ER98-441-000
In Docket No. ER98-441-000, Edison filed six Must-Run Agreements,
applicable to Edison's six must-run facilities. Edison requests that
the proposed filing be made effective on the date that the PX commences
operations.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filings should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in
accordance with Rules 211 or 214 of the Commission's Rules or Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR Secs. 385.211, 385.214). All such motions or
protests should be filed on or before November 21, 1997. Filings must
include a one page executive summary.
Protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to
make the 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.
