Duke Energy Moss Landing LLC, Duke Energy Morro Bay LLC, Duke 
Energy Oakland LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

June 30, 1998.
    Duke Energy Moss Landing LLC (Duke/Moss Landing), Duke Energy Morro 
Bay LLC (Duke/Morro Bay), and Duke Energy Oakland LLC (Duke/Oakland), 
three separate subsidiaries of Duke Energy Corporation, filed separate 
proposals to sell power at wholesale at market-based rates. The power 
the applicants propose to sell at market-based rates will be produced 
from three generating units they are in the process of acquiring from 
Pacific Gas & Electric Company. Their applications also requested 
certain waivers and authorizations. In particular, Duke/Moss Landing, 
Duke/Morro Bay, and Duke/Oakland requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liabilities by Duke/Moss Landing, Duke/
Morro Bay, and Duke/Oakland. On June 25, 1998, the Commission issued an 
Order Accepting For Filing Proposed Tariffs For Market-Based Power 
Sales (Order), in the above-docketed proceedings.
    The Commission's June 25, 1998 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (E), (F), and (H):
    (E) Within 30 days of the date of issuance of this order, any 
person desiring to be heard or to protest the Commission's blanket 
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities 
should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214.
    (F) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (E) above, Duke/Moss Landing, Duke/Morro Bay, and 
Duke/Oakland are hereby authorized to issue securities and assume 
obligations and liabilities as guarantor, indorser, surety or otherwise 
in respect of any security of another person; provided that such issue 
or assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes 
of Duke/Moss Landing, Duke/Morro Bay, and Duke/Oakland, compatible with 
the public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such 
purposes.
    (H) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to 
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests 
will be adversely affected by continued Commission approval of 
issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities * * *.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is July 27, 1998.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the
