[Docket No. ER02-2166-000]

 
Pennsylvania Windfarms, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

November 26, 2008.
    Pennsylvania Windfarms, Inc. (Pennsylvania Windfarms) filed an 
application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying 
tariff. The proposed market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of 
energy, capacity and ancillary services at market-based rates. 
Pennsylvania Windfarms also requested waivers of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, Pennsylvania Windfarms requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Pennsylvania 
Windfarms.
    On August 5, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, 
Division of Tariffs and Market Development-West, granted the requests 
for blanket approval under part 34 (Director's Order). 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 concerning the 
blanket approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability by Pennsylvania Windfarms, should file a 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). The Commission encourages the electronic submission of protests 
using the FERC Online link at http://www.ferc.gov.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing protests is 
December 8, 2008.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket 
approvals by the deadline above, Pennsylvania Windfarms 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 Pennsylvania Windfarms, 
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 approvals of Pennsylvania Windfarm's issuance of securities 
or assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director'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
