          - [Docket No. EL07-44-000] 

Take notice that on March 8, 2007, Dakota Wind Harvest, LLC (Dakota Wind) pursuant to Rule 206 of the Rules of Practice and Procedures of the Commission, 18 CFR 385.206 and sections 206 and 215 of the Federal Power Act, hereby submits the Complaint Requesting Fast Track Processing against Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (Midwest ISO), Montana-Dakota Utilities Company (MDU) and Western Area Power Administration (Western). Dakota Wind is required to file this Complaint due to: (i) Midwest ISO's refusal to allow Dakota Wind's wind-powered electricity generation facility currently under development to commence operations without first having a Balancing Authority designated; (ii) MDU's and Western's refusal to serve as Balancing Authority despite the fact that the Project will be interconnected to the transmission system owned by MDU and located in the geographic area in which Western is the designated Balancing Authority; and (iii) Midwest ISO's and MDU's refusal to act to ensure that a Balancing Authority agrees to provide balancing serviced to Dakota Wind. 

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).
