Motion of EPSA and the Western Power Trading Forum for Leave to Intervene and Comment re: Western Interconnect, LLC
Motion to Intervene
EPSA is the national trade association representing competitive power suppliers, including generators and marketers. These suppliers, who account for nearly 40 percent of the installed generating capacity in the United States, provide reliable and competitively priced electricity from environmentally responsible facilities serving global power markets. EPSA seeks to bring the benefits of competition to all power customers.
WPTF is a California non-profit, mutual benefit corporation. It is a broadly based membership organization dedicated to enhancing competition in Western electric markets in order to reduce the cost of electricity to consumers throughout the region while maintaining the current high level of system reliability. WPTF actions are focused on supporting development of competitive electricity markets throughout the region and developing uniform operating rules to facilitate transactions among market participants. WPTF provides a voice through which members can influence the development of market structures throughout the region. The membership of WPTF includes energy service providers, scheduling coordinators, generators, municipal utilities and a power exchange, all of which are active participants in the restructured California electricity market.
Many of EPSA and WPTF’s members (jointly Competitive Suppliers) are authorized to sell energy and ancillary services at market-based rates. Competitive Suppliers have been active participants in the WECC region, and EPSA and WPTF are each participating in many of the Commission’s ongoing proceedings on western issues. Accordingly, EPSA and WPTF each has a direct and substantial interest in the outcome of this proceeding that cannot be adequately represented by any other party.
