EPSA's Motion to Intervene Out of Time and Comments on the SPP Open Access Tariff Revisions

Motion to Intervene

EPSA is the national trade association representing competitive power suppliers, including generators and marketers. These suppliers, who account for 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.

EPSA submits that good cause exists for this late intervention. Many EPSA members own generating facilities or market the output of facilities in SPP. However, in order to develop a full understanding and consensus position on the detailed and voluminous SPP filing, an additional three days has been necessary for EPSA to comment adequately on the SPP proposal. EPSA’s members believe that the SPP cost allocation filing includes important benefits for SPP, as well as other regions due to its innovative design.

Consequently, EPSA feels the following comments will assist the Commission in assessing SPP’s compliance filing. Accordingly, EPSA has a direct and substantial interest in the outcome of this proceeding that cannot be adequately represented by any other party. No party will be prejudiced by this late intervention given the early stage of SPP’s compliance effort. Accordingly, EPSA’s late intervention should be granted.

All pleadings, correspondence and other communications concerning this proceeding should be directed to:

Nancy Bagot, Vice President of Policy
Jack Cashin, Senior Manager of Policy
Electric Power Supply Association
1401 New York Avenue, N.W., 11th Floor
Washington, D.C. 20005
