[Docket No. QF07-115-000]

 
Continental Cogeneration Services; Notice of Self-Certification 
of Qualifying Status of a Cogeneration Facility

June 22, 2007.
    Take notice that on March 9, 2007, as completed on May 30, 2007, 
Continental Cogeneration Services, 964 Ebbets Ave., Manteca, 
California, filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission a 
notice of self-certification of a facility as a qualifying cogeneration 
facility pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(a) of the Commission's regulations.
    The facility for which certification is requested is a topping-
cycle cogeneration facility. The primary energy source is natural gas. 
The power production equipment includes a Siemens SGT6-5000F gas 
turbine in combined cycle, with a maximum net power production of 275 
MW. The location of the facility is 12045 South Ingomar Grade, Los 
Banos, California.
    The Name of the electric utility with which the facility expects to 
interconnect, transmit or sell electric energy to, or purchase 
supplementary, standby, back-up and maintenance power is the Pacific 
Gas & Electric Company (PG&E).
    The applicant proposes to sell more than 50 percent of its 
aggregate, annual energy output to PG&E. Although the facility does not 
fall within the 50 percent ``safe harbor'' for fundamental use of 
energy output in 18 CFR 292.205(d)(3), the applicant argues that the 
facility's beneficial use of biomethane from digested cow manure as 5 
percent of the fuel input is sufficient to meet the requirements of 18 
CFR 292.205(d)(2).
    A notice of self-certification does not institute a proceeding 
regarding qualifying facility status; a notice of self-certification 
provides notice that the entity making filing has determined the 
Facility meets the applicable criteria to be a qualifying facility. Any 
person seeking to challenge such qualifying facility status may do so 
by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii).
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov., using 

the ``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail

Secretary.
