INTRODUCTION
Southern Power Company
Docket No. ER03-713-000
Pursuant to Rules 212 and 214 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission), 18 C.F.R. §§ 212 and 214, the Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA) hereby moves for leave to intervene and protests the above-captioned Application by Southern Power Company (Southern Power) for approval of long-term market-based rate power purchase agreements (PPAs) between Southern Power and two affiliated utilities. The Application, filed with the Commission on April 4, 2003, pertains to two PPAs (collectively referred to as the McIntosh PPAs):
(1) Georgia Power Company and Southern Power for 1040 MW (of the full 1240 MW generating capability from two new 620 gas-fired combined cycle generating units to be constructed by Southern Power) at Plant McIntosh Units 10 and 11 (the McIntosh-Georgia Power PPA);
(2) Savannah Electric & Power Company and Southern Power for 200 MW (the remaining output of the 1240 MW generating capability from two new 620 gas-fired combined cycle generating units to be constructed by Southern Power) at Plant McIntosh Units 10 and 11 (the McIntosh-Savannah PPA).
Since the PPAs are entered into between affiliated entities, Southern has filed for approval of the agreements pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act and Part 35 of the FERC Regulations, 18 C.F.R., Part 35.
