Start Preamble

Take notice that Ridgewood Power LLC (Ridgewood) submitted a Request for Emergency Relief and an Updated Request for Emergency Relief in Docket Nos. EL00-95-020 and EL00-98-019 (on March 8, 2001 and April 9, 2001) requesting the Commission to take action to prevent qualifying facility (QF) capacity from going off-line in the State of California. Ridgewood asks the Commission to take actions that will permit those QFs in California that have not been paid fully for past power deliveries to enter arrangements to temporarily sell to third-party buyers within California. Ridgewood asks the Commission to declare that California electric utilities cannot deny transmission access to QFs or otherwise frustrate the ability of QFs to sell to third-party purchasers.
Also take notice that the California Cogeneration Council (Cogeneration Council) on April 9, 2001, filed a Motion for Emergency Relief in docket No EL01-47-000 requesting the Commission to take action to prevent QFs from going off-line in the State of California. Among other things, the Cogeneration Council requests the Commission to require interconnection, transmission, and related services under section 210(d) of the Federal Power Act on a temporary basis pending the resolution of accounts receivable issues. The Commission will address the Cogeneration Council's motion and the responses thereto in Docket No. EL01-47-002.
Take notice that the Commission is also instituting a proceeding under Start Printed Page 23244Section 210(d) on its own motion in Docket No. EL01-72-000. In this proceeding, the Commission will consider whether and to what extent it may need to order the provision of interconnection, transmission, and related services under Section 210(d) to alleviate generation capacity supply shortages in California.
