2. Stratton Energy Associates, (a New York limited partnership)
[Docket Nos. EC98-42-000 and ER98-2931-000]
Take notice that on May 6, 1998, Stratton Energy Associates (SEA),
a New York limited partnership, submitted petition for waiver of the
Commission's rule restricting the filing of rate schedules to a period
no less than 60 days, but not more than 120 days, prior to the date on
which electric service is scheduled to commence and become effective
under the rate schedule. 18 CFR 35.3. This request is made with regard
to SEA's Rate Schedule No. 2, which is being filed simultaneously with
such petition.
SEA further requests that the Commission waive its cost-of-service
filing requirements applicable to initial rate filings, 18 CFR
35.12(b)(5), and to accept the SEA Rate Schedule No. 2 as filed. SEA
also petitions the Commission to waive certain Commission rules that
the Commission has previously determined not to be appropriately
applicable to qualifying facilities such as the SEA facility.
Finally, SEA requests that the Commission find that the SEA Rate
Schedule No. 2 constitutes a formula rate. Therefore, upon any
acceptance of this rate by the Commission, any changes in charges due
to the operation of the formula need not be filed with the Commission
as a change in a rate schedule. See 13 CFR 35.13.
SEA Rate Schedule No. 2 governs the sale of electricity from a 45
megawatt biomass fired electric generation facility located in the Town
of Eustis, Maine (the Project).
The purpose of these filings is to allow for the closing and
implementation of a series of transactions that will provide savings to
the ratepayers of CMP, to the extent determined by the Maine Public
Utilities Commission. SEA Rate Schedule No. 2 will replace an existing
high cost wholesale power sales agreement between SEA and Central Maine
Power Company (CMP). The effective date of SEA Rate Schedule No. 2, and
closing on associated transactions, is subject to final approval by the
Maine Public Service Commission. The transactions do not require and
will not result in the withdrawal of any capacity from the market.
SEA requests that the Commission expedite public review of the
filing, in light of the fact that the Maine Public Utilities Commission
is reviewing the actual ratepayer impact of the forgoing transactions
in a concurrent docket. The Commission ordinarily allows 60 days after
the date of such a filing before final action can be taken.
Comment date: June 15, 1998, in accordance with Standard Paragraph
E at the end of this notice.
