2. Procedural Background

SCE filed the present application on January 2, 2007, seeking approval of the Tajiguas PPA to purchase the output of a biomass facility located in Goleta, California. The present capacity of the plant is 2.84 MW, with a possible 1.5 MW expansion to a total of 4.34 MW. SCE served both confidential and public (redacted) testimony along with the application, which were designated as Exhibits C-1 and 1, respectively, in an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Ruling dated March 9, 2007. Exhibit C-1 was ordered to be sealed and remain confidential under the March 9, 2007 Ruling.

SCE filed an amendment to the application on January 19, 2007, along with a motion to shorten time in order to retain the original deadline for filing of protests to the application. Given that the changes were made prior to that deadline with sufficient time to consider those changes, the motion was granted.

SCE served supplemental testimony (non-confidential) on February 26, 2007, which was designated as Exhibit 2 in the March 9, 2007 Ruling.

No protests have been filed to the application.
