Alliance for Retail Energy Markets; Shell Energy North America 
(US), L.P.; (Complainants) v. California Independent System Operator 
Corporation (Respondent); Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on June 16, 2014, pursuant to section 306 of 
Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 825(e) (2012), and Rule 206 of the Rules 
of Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission), 18 CFR 385.206 (2013), the Alliance for Retail Energy 
Markets (AReM) and Shell Energy North America (US), L.P. (SENA) 
(collectively, the Coalition) filed a formal complaint against 
California Independent System Operator Corporation (CAISO) requesting 
that the Commission find that certain charges that are characterized as 
``refunds'', which CAISO intends to charge the Coalition and similarly 
situated entities, are illegal retroactive rate increases/surcharges 
and require CAISO to cease and desist from attempting to charge them. 
The Coalition requests that the Commission investigate the process by 
which the refunds have been calculated and require CAISO to respond to 
disputes that have been properly raised.
