Voltus, Inc. v. Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc.; 
Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on October 20, 2020, pursuant to sections 206 and 
306 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824e, 825e and Rule 206 of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206, Voltus, Inc. (Complainant) filed a 
formal complaint against Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. 
(MISO or Respondent) requesting that the Commission find that MISO 
tariff provisions authorizing states to bar third party demand response 
providers from participating in MISO's wholesale market are 
inconsistent with the jurisdictional provisions of the Federal Power 
Act, and are unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory and 
preferential, all as more fully explained in the complaint.
    The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served 
on the contacts for MISO, as listed on the Commission's list of 
Corporate Officials.

file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's 
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before 
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and 
protests must be served on the Complainants.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
