Bill Newman ( Sr. VP Transmission ; leads the RTO work on market structure and transmission planning) said they were disappointed that FERC did not respond to their filing as a declaratory filing, but appeared to be trying to force a filing for approval of a proposed RTO. He said, at this point, they were planning to restart discussions with all the parties around Southern to explore whether they could get agreement on a larger RTO, but they had not decided that combining was necessary. He also said that it might be easier to combine with GridSouth than Entergy, Florida, etc., but it might not work out that way. We discussed the response from FERC concerning the treatment of bundled retail. He was puzzled by the difference in treatment from GridSouth, since both appear to have the same practical outcome.
