Benjamin Riggs v. Rhode Island Public Utility Commission; Notice
of Complaint
Take notice that on August 22, 2012, pursuant to Rule 206 of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice
and Procedure and Rule 206 of the Federal Power Act, Benjamin Riggs
(Complainant) filed a formal complaint against the Rhode Island Public
Utility Commission (Respondent) alleging that the Respondent approved a
20-year Purchase Power Agreement between Deepwater Wind Block Island,
LLC and National Grid on August 16, 2010, as directed by the Rhode
Island General Assembly; which appears to constitute a violation of the
Federal Power Act, to include 16 U.S.C. 791 et seq., 16 U.S.C. 824, and
the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The Complainant certifies that copies of the complaint were served
on the contacts for the Respondent as listed on the Commission's list

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. The Respondent's
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and
