Elk River Windfarm LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 11, 2005.
    Elk River Windfarm LLC (Elk River) filed an application for market-
based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed tariff 
provides for wholesale sales of energy, capacity and ancillary services 
at market-based rates. Elk River also requested waiver of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, Elk River requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Elk River.
    On February 10, 2005, the Commission granted the request for 
blanket approval under part 34, subject to the following:
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval 
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by Elk River 
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, 385.214 (2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protest, is March 14, 2005.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Elk River is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or 
liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect 
of any security of another person; provided that such issuance or 
assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of 
Elk River, compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably 
necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of Elk River's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Commission's Order are available 
from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's
