[Federal Register: April 16, 1999 (Volume 64, Number 73)] [Notices] [Page 18891] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr16ap99-58] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. EG99-109-000] Geysers Power Company, LLC Notice of Application For Commission Determination of Exempt Wholesale Generator Status April 12, 1999. Take notice that on April 7, 1999, Geysers Power Company, LLC (Geysers Power) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an application for determination of exempt wholesale generator status pursuant to Part 365 of the Commission's regulations. Geysers Power is a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Calpine Corporation. Geysers Power's eligible facilities will consist of fifteen geothermal generating units and other ancillary facilities with a combined generating capacity of 744 MW. Geysers Power states that prior to its purchase of fourteen of the generating units from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&G), these facilities were part of PG&E's integrated system. Therefore, a rate or charge in connection with these facilities was in effect under the laws of California on October 24, 1992. On April 6, 1999, the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California (CPUC) mailed a final Opinion Granting Requested Authorization, D.99-04-026, which concluded that allowing these facilities to be an exempt wholesale generator within the meaning of PUHCA would benefit consumers, would be in the public interest, and would not violate California law. Geysers Power attached a copy of the CPUC D.99-04-026 to its application. Geysers Power further states that copies of the application were served upon the California Independent System Operator Corporation, the California Power Exchange Corporation, the Securities Exchange Commission and the CPUC. Any person desiring to be heard concerning the application for exempt wholesale generator status should file a motion to intervene or comments with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). The Commission will limit its consideration of comments to those that concern the adequacy or accuracy of the application. All such motions and comments should be filed on or before April 21, 1999, and must be served on the applicant. 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 or on the Internet at http://www.ferc/fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
