Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice of Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests, 48653-48654 [2022-17127]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 10, 2022 / Notices (Project). As described in PP–334, the Project is a double-circuit 230-kV electric transmission line originating at San Diego Gas and Electric Company’s planned East County (ECO) Substation in San Diego County, interconnecting with the Imperial Valley-Miguel segment of the Southwest Powerlink, extending approximately 0.65 miles southward, crossing the U.S.-Mexico border near Jacumba, California. At the border, the ESJ Tie Line transitions to a generation tie line constructed and operated by Energia Sierra Juarez, S. de R. L. de C.V. (ESJ Mexico), a Mexican affiliate of ESJ, which extends approximately 1 mile farther south to an interconnection point for a wind generating facility in Mexico (ESJ Wind Project) owned and operated by ESJ Mexico. The ESJ Tie Line commenced commercial operation in June of 2015, and ESJ has been operating the ESJ Tie Line in accordance with PP–334 since that time to transmit power from the initial phase of the ESJ Wind Project generating facilities in Mexico to the electric grid in California at the ECO Substation. The ESJ Tie Line has the thermal capacity to transmit up to 1250 megawatts (MW of electricity, corresponding to the total potential generating capacity of the ESJ Wind Project. The ESJ Wind Project was to be developed in several phases. At the time PP–334 was issued in 2012, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) had completed a generation interconnection study only for the first 400 MW of generation from the ESJ Wind Project. As a result, PP–334 included a provision limiting the maximum non-simultaneous rate of transmission over the ESJ Tie Line to 400 MW. Article 4 of PP–334 stated that ESJ may apply for a modification to the permit to increase the authorized rate of transmission at such time as CAISO completes interconnection studies for power generated by the ESJ Wind Project greater than 400 MW. In accordance with Article 4 of PP– 334, ESJ is now requesting a modification to the permit to increase the maximum authorized rate of transmission over the ESJ Tie Line to 700 MW based on the CAISO interconnection study for Cimarron Wind, which is expected to add another 300 MW of generation. The proposed increase in the rate of transmission requires no physical modifications to the ESJ Tie Line. Procedural Matters: Any person may comment on this application by filing such comment at the address provided above. Each comment should be clearly VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:26 Aug 09, 2022 Jkt 256001 marked with OE Docket No. PP–334–1. Consideration of comments is limited to those addressing the subject of the proposed amendment. Any person seeking to become a party to this proceeding must file a motion to intervene at the address provided above in accordance with Rule 214 of FERC’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214). Two copies of each comment or motion to intervene should be filed with DOE on or before the date listed above. Additional copies of such comments and motions to intervene also should be filed directly with: Emily C. Shults, Senior Vice President—Development, Energia Sierra Juarez U.S., LLC, 488 8th Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101, eshults@ sempraglobal.com, and Eric J. Murdock, Partner, Hunter Andrews Kurth LLP, N 2200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20037, emurdock@hunton.com. 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 may consider the environmental impacts of the proposed action (i.e., granting the Presidential permit or amendment, with any conditions and limitations, or denying the permit), determine the proposed 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 weigh any other factors that it may also deem relevant to the public interest. DOE also must obtain the favorable recommendation of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense before taking final action on a Presidential permit application.
