City of Hastings, Nebraska, City of Grand Island, Nebraska v. 
Southwest Power Pool, Inc.; Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on May 23, 2014, pursuant to section 206 and 306 
of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 USC 824e and 825e and Rule 206 of 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206, the City of Hastings, Nebraska 
and the City of Grand Island, Nebraska (collectively, Complainants) 
filed a formal complaint against Southwest Power Pool, Inc. (Respondent 
or SPP) alleging that, the Respondent may have misinterpreted its 
Tariff and is in violation of the FPA by demanding that the 
Complainants purchase transmission service that is not required by the 
Tariff and demanding that Complainants pay unreserved use penalties 
that are not permitted under the Tariff. In the alternative, if the 
Commission finds that SPP's interpretation is correct, the Complainants 
requests that the Commission determine that the affected provisions of 
the Tariff are unjust and unreasonable, as more fully explained in the 
Complaint.
    The Complainants certify that copies of the Complaint were served 
on the contacts for the Respondent as listed in 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, 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
