Gadwall Wind LLC; Notice of Petition for Enforcement
Take notice that on March 18, 2013, pursuant to section 210(h) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA), 16 U.S.C. 824a-3(h), Gadwall Wind LLC (Petitioner) filed a Petition for Enforcement, requesting the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) to initiate enforcement action against the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to remedy the State of Minnesota's improper implementation of PURPA by establishing an avoided cost rule that does not provide for the payment of a utility's full avoided costs to a new renewable energy qualifying facility (QF). In the alternative, Petitioner requests that the Commission make specific findings with respect to Minn. Stat. 216B.164, as would allow Petitioner to pursue enforcement action in a US Federal District Court.
Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. On or before the comment date, it is not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.

Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426.
