[Docket No. EL04-11-000]


CAlifornians for Renewable Energy, Inc., (CARE), Complainant, v. 
Calpine Energy Services, L.P., and the California Department of Water 
Resources, Respondents; Notice of Complaint

October 23, 2003.
    Take notice that on October 20, 2003, CAlifornians for Renewable 
Energy, Inc. (CARE) (Complainant) submitted a complaint against 
Calpine, a seller of long term contracts to the California Department 
of Water Resources (CDWR), a buyer, collectively (Respondents) alleging 
that the prices, terms, and conditions of such contracts are unjust and 
unreasonable, Calpine and CDWR failed to file their rates pursuant to 
Section 205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), they abrogate the terms and 
conditions under their revised contract 2 product 1 requiring 
performance on specific construction milestones, to provide timely 
status reports and, to the extent applicable, are not in the public 
interest. Complainant alleges that Respondents obtained the prices, 
terms, and conditions in the contracts through the exercise of market 
power, in violation of the FPA, and that the rates charged do not serve 
the ``public interest'' under the FPA and are in fact unduly 
preferential and discriminatory against third party customers, and 
impose an ``excessive burden'' on these customers among whom are CARE's 
members who CARE is representing. Complaint alleges Respondents' 
actions are causing injury to the citizens and ratepayers, including 
CARE's members that CARE is representing.
    CARE states that copies of this filing were served upon Respondents 
and other interested parties.
