Virtual Energy, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

June 20, 2005.
    Virtual Energy, Inc. (Virtual Energy) filed an application for 
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate tariff. The 
proposed rate tariff provides for the sales of capacity and energy at 
market-based rates. Virtual Energy also requested waiver of various 
Commission regulations. In particular, Virtual Energy requested that 
the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Virtual 
Energy.
    On June 17, 2005, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted the request 
for blanket approval under Part 34. The Director's order also stated 
that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the Federal 
Register establishing a period of time for the filing of protests. 
Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket 
approval of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by 
Virtual Energy 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 July 18, 2005.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
Virtual Energy 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 Virtual Energy, 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 Virtual Energy's issuances of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
