3. Norton Energy Storage, L.L.C.

[Docket No. EL01–70–000]

Take notice that on April 26, 2001,

Norton Energy Storage, L.L.C. (NES)

filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission a Petition for Declaratory

Order pursuant to Section 385.207 of

the Commission’s Regulations, 18 CFR

385.207.

NES requests that the Commission

declare that transactions involving the

delivery of electric energy to NES’

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES)

generating facility (the NES Facility) for

storage through the compression of air

into a cavern for subsequent release

through turbine generators to produce

electric energy or ancillary services for

sale or exchange at wholesale in

interstate commerce are exclusively

subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction

under Section 201 of the Federal Power

Act, 16 U.S.C. §§ 824–825r (the FPA).

NES states that it is developing its

CAES generating facility at the site of an

abandoned limestone mine in the City

of Norton, Summit County, Ohio, near

Akron. NES represents that the NES

Facility will eventually include 2,700

MW of capacity, to be constructed in

individual increments of 300 MW.

According to NES, the NES Facility will

be the first compressed air energy

storage project to be developed in North

America as a merchant facility, and only

the third CAES facility in the world.

NES states that the NES Facility will

employ an innovative technology that

will allow NES to ‘‘store’’ electric

energy produced in one period for

delivery, resale and use during a later

period, much as a pumped storage

hydroelectric facility does.

NES states that the NES Facility’s

customers (including traditional public

utilities, merchant generators and power

marketers) will deliver electric energy to

the NES Facility from time to time. This

electric energy will be ‘‘stored’’ by

compressing air into a sealed

underground storage area. NES will

maintain the injected air at high

pressure until its controlled release

through gas-fired turbine generators

during peak electric demand periods. In

this manner, according to NES, the NES

23910 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 91 / Thursday, May 10, 2001 / Notices

Facility will reclaim the ‘‘compression

power’’ used to compress and store air,

for purposes of generating electric

energy for sale or exchange into

wholesale markets. NES asserts that

participants in electric energy markets

will be able to use the NES Facility as

a mechanism by which they can store

electric energy obtained in wholesale

markets during off-peak periods and

exchange it for electric energy or

ancillary services made available to

wholesale markets during peak periods.

NES asks in its Petition that the

Commission confirm that the various

ways in which electric energy may be

stored and exchanged through the

medium of the NES Facility qualify as

transactions involving the sale of

electric energy and ancillary services for

resale in interstate commerce, i.e., as

‘‘electric service,’’ as that term is

defined at 18 CFR 35.2(a), subject

exclusively to the Commission’s FPA

jurisdiction.

NES states that it is currently in the

process of securing additional equity

investors and arranging for the financing

of the initial phase of its project. NES

asserts that the financial markets,

potential equity investors and would-be

counter parties all require certainty as to

how electric energy transactions

involving the NES Facility will be

treated for regulatory purposes. NES

therefore asks that the requested

declaratory order be issued by June 30,

2001.

NES states that it has served copies of

its Petition upon representatives of

FirstEnergy Corp. and American Electric

Power, the public utilities with which it

will be interconnected, and upon

representatives of the Public Utilities

Commission of Ohio and the Attorney

General of Ohio. Questions concerning

this filing may be directed to counsel for

NES, James F. Bowe, Jr., Dewey

Ballantine LLP, at (202) 429–1444, fax

15. Calpine Corporation

[Docket No. EL01–71–000]

Take notice that on April 27, 2001,

Calpine Corporation (Calpine)

submitted for filing a Petition for an

Enforcement Action and/or Declaratory

Order and Request for Expedited

Treatment pursuant to Section

210(h)(2)(B) of the Public Utility

Regulatory Policies Act of 1978

(PURPA), 16 U.S.C.A.§ 824a–3(h)(2)(B)

(2000), and Rule 207 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207.

Calpine alleges that Decision 01–03–

067, issued by the California Public

Utilities Commission (CPUC) on March

28, 2001 (Avoided Cost Decision),

violates PURPA Section 210, 16 U.S.C.

§ 824a–3 which requires, inter alia, that

rates for purchases from QFs shall not

exceed incremental cost to the utility,

nor shall those rates discriminate

against qualifying cogenerators or small

power producers. The Avoided Cost

Decision changes the formula by which

avoided cost rates are calculated.

This change violates PURPA, Calpine

alleges, for three reasons: (i) The

Avoided Cost Decision sets avoided

costs in an arbitrary and unlawful

manner, without any relationship

whatsoever to the purchasing utility’s

‘‘full avoided costs,’’ thus violating the

PURPA avoided cost mandate; (ii) the

Avoided Cost Decision subjects QFs to

improper CPUC rate regulation, in

contravention of PURPA and; (iii) the

Avoided Cost Decision sets payments to

QFs at price levels at which QFs cannot

economically generate, contrary to the

PURPA objective of encouraging

generation. Calpine asks this

Commission to institute an enforcement

action and/or to issue a declaratory

order, and requests that it do so using

expedited treatment, to grant relief to

the QFs from the Avoided Cost

Decision.
