The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) has responded to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) concerning Southern California Edison’s (SCE) appeal on the proposed Devers-Palo Verde No. 2 transmission line.
The ACC defended its June 2007 decision to deny an application for the 230-mile, 500 kV line that would run from the Palo Verde hub area in Arizona to the Devers substation in Southern California.
In their letter to FERC, the ACC complained about higher levels of nitrogen oxide pollution from Arizona power plants and loss of water used in generating power that will be sold to SCE. The project also “raised concern about its negative impact on the environment, particularly in and around the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.” The ACC went on to say that SCE has other options to satisfy its needs, which include building new power plants and using renewable energy.
SCE has appealed the Arizona denial to FERC because the DPV2 line falls within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Southwest Area National Interest Electric Corridor, as authorized under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This is a very interesting test to the Federal Corridors portion of the act – and will prove interesting as the Sunrise Powerlink continues its path to construction.
