Enron has already filed detailed protests against AEP, Entergy, and Southern Energy Marketing. We also plan to file a detailed protest of Hydro Quebec. Protests of the following utilities will be very short (shown below) stating that FERC should condition the continuation of market based rates upon the utility joining a valid fully functioning RTO. ((Ameren, FP&L, LGE/KU, Cinergy, TXU, VEPCO, and Duke). Protests will be due over the next few months. Please let me know if you want to receive copies of the protests or drafts.

Note: There were no interventions or protests in this docket and FERC issued a letter order accepting the filing on Nov. 2. What is odd and should be pointed out for why we are intervening at this time is that there may have been a problem with when or how the notice was issued. Neither Nancy P. or our paralegal Jan saw this notice. I found it after the intervention date. It is certainly odd that there were no interventions in this at all. One concern for Dan/Joe/Jim: Since this is going in as a late intervention and request for rehearing, what is the likelihood of the Commission tossing the whole idea out quickly because of the late intervention, which may hurt our overall cause. Next, this is the list of those utilities that we plan to file this pleading in (We are not protesting Xcel/NSP/Pub Serv of Co): FP&L MAYBE Docket No. 97-3359-003 Protests due 11/20 Cinergy (due in Jan) TXU (due in Jan) VEPCO (due next Aug) Duke (due next Dec) LGE/KU (due next March) NOTE: Kevin wants to do a full blown assessment against HQ , which is due sometime this Nov. Please keep all eyes out. for the HQ filing. THANK YOU.
