In addition, the December 15 order only established a reporting requirement for sales into the ISO and PX spot markets exceeding $150/MWh. Under the order, the refund potential closes after 60 days of a utility filing its cost justification unless the FERC issues written notification to the seller that its transaction is still under review. Note well that this does not entirely insulate EPMI concerning long term deals because the FERC's December 15 order is still pending rehearing and parties can appeal that order once the Commission rules.

Is that correct? Thanks. Best, Jeff
