[OE Docket No. PP–334]
Application for Presidential Permit;
Baja Wind U.S. Transmission, LLC
Office of Electricity Delivery
and Energy Reliability, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of Application.
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Sempra Generation, on behalf
of Baja Wind U.S. Transmission, LLC
(Baja Wind), has applied for a
Presidential permit to construct,
operate, maintain, and connect an
electric transmission line across the U.S.
border with Mexico.
DATES: Comments, protests, or requests
to intervene must be submitted on or
before March 24, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or
requests to intervene should be
addressed as follows: Office of
Electricity Delivery and Energy
Reliability (OE–20), U.S. Department of
Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue,
SW., Washington, DC 20585–0350.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ellen Russell (202–586–9624) (Program
Office) or Michael T. Skinker (Program
Attorney) 202–586–2793.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
construction, operation, maintenance,
and connection of facilities at the
international border of the United States
for the transmission of electric energy
between the United States and a foreign
country is prohibited in the absence of
a Presidential permit issued pursuant to
Executive Order (EO) 10485, as
amended by EO 12038.
On December 20, 2007, Sempra
Generation, on behalf of Baja Wind, a
Delaware limited liability corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sempra
Generation, filed an application with
the Office of Electricity Delivery and
Energy Reliability of the Department of
Energy (DOE) for a Presidential permit.
Baja Wind requests authority to
construct, own, operate, and maintain
the U.S. portion of a single-circuit 500kilovolt (500-kV) electric transmission
line that crosses the U.S.-Mexico
international border in the vicinity of
Jacumba, San Diego County, California.
The proposed transmission line
project would connect up to 1,250
megawatts of electric power produced
from wind turbines to be located in the
vicinity of La Rumorosa, Baja California,
Mexico, to San Diego Gas and Electric
Company’s (SDG&E) existing Southwest
Powerlink (SWPL) 500-kV transmission
line. The proposed facilities would be
approximately one mile long inside the
United States and two miles long inside
Mexico (total length of the facilities
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:38 Feb 21, 2008
Jkt 214001
would be three miles) and consist of a
single circuit 500-kV transmission line
on either lattice towers or steel
monopoles. The proposed facilities
would include a loop-in substation on
the SWPL. The proposed loop-in
substation would be owned and
operated by SDG&E. From the U.S.Mexico border, the proposed
transmission line would continue south
approximately two additional miles to
its origination point at a future 230/500kV substation. The proposed
transmission line located in Mexico and
the 230/500-kV substation would be
constructed, owned, operated, and
maintained by a subsidiary of Sempra
Energy Mexico.
The proposed transmission line
would be used to transmit the entire
electrical output of the La Rumorosa
wind generators from Mexico to the
United States. Energy will not be
exported from the United States to
Mexico, except for the small amount of
electric energy needed for wind turbine
lubrication, hydraulic, and control
systems when the wind generators are
not operating. Any entity exporting such
electric energy from the United States
would require an electricity export
authorization issued by DOE under
section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act
(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
Procedural Matters: Any person
desiring to become a party to this
proceeding or to be heard by filing
comments or protests to this application
should file a petition to intervene,
comment, or protest at the address
provided above in accordance with
§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the FERC’s
Rules of Practice and Procedures (18
CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of
each petition and protest should be filed
with the DOE on or before the date
listed above.
Additional copies of such petitions to
intervene, comments, or protests should
also be filed directly with Ms. Joan
Heredia, Permitting Manager, Sempra
Global, 101 Ash Street, HQ 8B, San
Diego, California 92101.
Before a Presidential permit may be
issued or amended, DOE must
determine that the proposed action is in
the public interest. In making that
determination, DOE considers the
environmental impacts of the proposed
project pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, determines the project’s impact on
electric reliability by ascertaining
whether the proposed project would
adversely affect the operation of the U.S.
electric power supply system under
normal and contingency conditions, and
any other factors that DOE may also
consider relevant to the public interest.
