Motion for Leave to Intervene and Comment of EPSA and WPTF re: Southern California Edison Co. on Behalf of Mountainview Power Co. 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 (jointly Competitive Suppliers).
Many of Competitive Suppliers’ members are authorized to sell energy and ancillary services at market-based rates. Certain Competitive Suppliers members presently own, or are currently developing, generating projects in the SCE service area or in adjacent regions deliverable to the SCE service area. Competitive Suppliers are interested in protecting the rights of these power suppliers to compete on fair and non-discriminatory terms with all generating facilities in the SCE market area. Competitive Suppliers have participated in many of the Commission’s ongoing proceedings on affiliate issues and the western markets. Accordingly, Competitive Suppliers have a direct and substantial interest in the outcome of this proceeding that cannot be adequately represented by any other party.
