COMPLAINT CONCERNING ALLOCATION OF SYSTEM UPGRADE FACILITY COSTS
IDENTIFICATION OF COMPLAINANTS
Ravenswood collectively refers to two affiliated companies, KeySpan Energy Development Corporation and KeySpan-Ravenswood, LLC. KeySpan Energy Development Corporation is a development company and a holding company for companies engaged in generation ownership and other energy industries. It is an affiliate of KeySpan-Ravenswood, LLC. The latter company received an allocation from the NYISO as a member of Class of 2001 and is currently assigned to the Class of 2002.
NYPA is a state-owned utility that owns generation and transmission assets and makes sales of electric service at wholesale. NYPA has two projects in the NYISO’s Class of 2001, the expansion of NYPA’s Poletti Project and ten gas turbines which were built and brought into service by NYPA in 2001.
EPSA is the national trade association representing competitive power suppliers, including independent power producers, merchant generators and power marketers. These suppliers, who account for more than a third of the nation’s installed generating capacity, provide reliable and competitively priced electricity from environmentally responsible facilities serving global power markets. As a national trade group, EPSA typically does not comment or join comments on issues that appear to be specific to any one state. However, EPSA joins in this filing since the issues have more far reaching policy impacts for power producers, if the NYISO’s policies were to be replicated in other wholesale markets. EPSA seeks to bring the benefits of competition to all power customers. EPSA’s joining this Complaint in this filing represents the position of EPSA as an organization, but not necessarily the views of any particular member with respect to any issue.
IPPNY is a not-for-profit trade association representing the independent power industry in New York State. Its members include more than 100 companies involved in the development and operation of electric generating facilities and the marketing and sale of electric power in New York. Most of the members of the Classes of 2001 and 2002 are members of IPPNY. In addition, many of IPPNY’s members are active participants in the NYISO-administered markets and own generating facilities that could be subject to the imposition of costs that would result from the NYISO’s misapplication of its Tariff if the Commission does not grant the instant Complaint.
