Susan Scott Lindberg 713.853.0596 sscott3@enron.com *** Commonwealth Edison Company. ER00-3668-001. Settlement Issues. Commonwea= lth Edison proposed to install equipment at its East Frankfort substation (= East Frankfort) to accommodate the 138 kV interconnection of University Par= k's 300 MW peaking generation facility. Under the agreements, University P= ark is wholly responsible for the costs of relocating two 345 kV transmissi= on lines and one 12 kV line at East Frankfort. On November 8, 2000, FERC ac= cepted and suspended Commonwealth Edison's September 12 agreements, subject= to refund and subject to Commonwealth Edison making a compliance filing to= : 1) set out specific charges for the proposed interconnection of Universit= y Park's generation facility (together with supporting documentation); and = 2) provide support for the proposed direct assignment of facilities to Univ= ersity Park. On June 4, 2000, regarding Commonwealth Edison's revisions to= its unexecuted interconnection agreement filed in compliance with FERC's N= ovember 8 order, FERC: 1) accepted the proposed charge of $900,000 for a T-= tap connection and $300,000 ($1.2 million) for protective relaying as direc= tly assignable to University Park; 2) rejected Commonwealth Edison's estima= ted $9 million for the enhancement of East Frankfort and other changes to t= he September 12 interconnection agreement not contemplated in the November = 8 order; and 3) rejected Commonwealth Edison's proposed $1.5 million charge= related to the line relocation costs, set this matter for hearing, and hel= d the hearing in abeyance pending settlement discussions between the partie= s.
