E7-5991. Californians for Renewable Energy, Inc. (CARE) Complaints v. California Public Utilities Commission, Southern California Edison Company, and Blythe Energy, LLC, Respondents; Notice of Complaints

March 27, 2007.

Take notice that on March 26, 2007, Californians for Renewable Energy, Inc. (CARE) submitted a complaint against the California Public Utilities Commission for its action on March 15, 2007, authorizing hearings concerning Southern California Edison Company's (SCE) application to enter into a power purchase agreement with Blythe Energy, LLC (Blythe), in violation of the Federal Power Act pursuant to section 205 of the FPA. CARE alleges that the prices, terms, and conditions of such contract are unjust and unreasonable. CARE further alleges SCE and Blythe failed to file their rates and the rates approved by the California Public Utilities Commission do not serve the “public interest” under the FPA and are in fact unduly preferential and discriminatory against their party customers, and impose an excessive burden on these customers.

CARE states that copies of this filing were served upon Respondents and other interested parties.

Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214).

Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's answer and all interventions or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and protests must be served on the Complainants.
