DECISION APPROVING TRANSACTIONS TO PROCURE
RENEWABLE ENERGY FROM MOUNTAIN VIEW
POWER PARTNERS FACILITY

1. Summary

In this application, Southern California Edison Company seeks approval for a series of transactions related to the renewable energy output of the Mountain View Power Partners, LLP facility, a 66.6 megawatt wind project located in Palm Springs, California. The transactions involve applicant's procurement of renewable energy from January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2011. We grant the requested approvals. We also find that the renewable energy credits associated with the energy from these transactions apply to the applicant's obligations to meet targets in the renewables portfolio standard program (subject to that energy meeting criteria set by the California Energy Commission), and the payments are recoverable in rates (subject to Commission review of applicant's administration of the contracts). This proceeding is closed.
