          - [Docket No. EL21-47-000]

                    Take notice that on February 10, 2021, pursuant to sections 206 and 306, of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824e and 825e and Rule 206 and 212 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206 and 385.212, Green Development, LLC (Complainant or Green Development) filed a formal complaint against New England Power Company (NEP) and Narragansett Electric Company (NEC) (collectively, Respondents) alleging that: (1) That NEP has assessed, and continues to assess, unauthorized FERC-jurisdictional Direct Assignment Facility Charges (DAF Charges) in connection with four 9.6 MW (AC) solar photovoltaic projects that are interconnected to NEC's distribution system, which charges are not authorized under the Transmission, Markets, and Services Tariff of ISO New England (ISO-NE Tariff); (2) that NEC and NEP have violated and continue to violate the filed-rate (                    *i.e.,*                     the ISO-NE Tariff) and FERC precedent through their attempt to pass through the unauthorized DAF Charges to Green Development, and (3) that NEP and NEC have violated and continue to violate the FPA, by seeking to originate and recover unauthorized FERC-jurisdictional DAF Charges via a state jurisdictional tariff. Green Development requests that the Commission find that NEP and NEC's actions are unjust and unreasonable, order the Respondents to cease the unauthorized charges, and to pay refunds as necessary, all as more fully explained in the complaint.

The Respondents' answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. The Respondents' answer, motions to intervene, and protests must be served on the Complainant.
