Affordable Power, L.P.; Notice of Issuance of Order

May 23, 2008.

Affordable Power, L.P. (Affordable Power) 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. Affordable Power also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular,

Affordable Power requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Affordable Power.

On May 22, 2008, 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 Affordable Power, 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

June 20, 2008.

Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket approvals by the deadline above, Affordable Power is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as a guarantor, endorser, 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 Affordable Power, 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 Affordable Power'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.,
