J. P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corp. v. California Independent 
System Operator Corp.: Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on September 14, 2012, pursuant to Rule 206 of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206 and section 206 of the Federal Power Act, 
16 U.S.C. 824(e), J. P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corp. (Complainant or 
JPMVEC) filed a formal complaint against California Independent System 
Operator Corp. (Respondent or CAISO) alleging that the Respondent is 
violating its tariff by underpaying the JPMVEC for the Respondent's 
Exceptional Dispatches \1\ of energy generating resources controlled 
through tolling agreements by JPMVEC and its subsidiary BE CA LLC. The 
Complainant is seeking (1) a determination by the Commission that 
CAISO's failure to pay JPMVEC its bid prices for Exceptional Dispatches 
violated section 11.5.6 of the CAISO tariff and (2) an order from the 
Commission directing CAISO to comply immediately with the tariff 
provisions governing payment for Exceptional Dispatches and to pay 
JPMVEC the full amount owed for energy acquired through Exceptional 
Dispatches, with interest as calculated under 18 CFR 35.19a.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The CAISO tariff defines ``Exceptional Dispatch'' as ``a 
Dispatch Instruction issued for the purposes specified in Section 
34.9. Energy from Exceptional Dispatches shall not set any Dispatch 
Interval LMP.'' CAISO tariff, App. A

    The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served 
on the contacts for the Respondent as listed in the Commission's list

be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
