On February 20, 2001 Governor Gray Davis directed the Energy Commission to exercise emergency siting powers to permit natural gas fired or renewable peaking power plants that can be on line by the 2001 peak demand period. Under this Order, facilities that contract with the Department of Water Resources to provide power to California residents can apply for an expedited permit with the Commission.
