Benjamin Riggs v. Rhode Island Public Utility Commission; Notice 
of Complaint

    Take notice that on December 15, 2011, pursuant to sections 206 of 
the Federal Power Act and Rule 206 of the Rules of Practice and 
Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), 
Benjamin Riggs (Complainant) filed a formal complaint against Rhode 
Island Public Utility Commission (Respondent) alleging that 
Respondent's November 30, 2011 approval of a 15-year Distributed 
Generation Standard Contract appears to constitute a violation of the 
Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 2621 and 16 U.S.C. 824, and section 
210(h)(2) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.
    The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served 
on the contacts for the Respondent as listed on the Commission's list 
of Corporate Officials.
    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 and 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's 
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before 
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and 
protests must be served on the Complainants.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC
