Actually, Entergy proposes solving constraint issues by not allowing parking at a generation only control area and by eliminating netting--both items that we won last year at NERC against TVA. Entergy's filing is a proposal to solve "partial paths", which they call "fictional" sinks/sources via elimination of the path. Now MAIN and ComEd (specifically stating that it doesn't want us to sink at the Enron soon-to-be control area in ComEd) have raised this issue. We are working on a response to ComEd and Dick may be going out to meet with them too. Finally, DUKE AND CINERGY both told me that while their marketing/traders greatly want to protest Entergy's filing, their transmission side won't let them. So both are filing plain vanilla interventions. We need to again be looking for any NERC email blasters that go out from marketers of utilities now and into the summer, similar to what SCEM (Southern's marketer) sent out last year complaining about TLRs. If you see any of these, let me know so we can possibly send them to FERC staff because it is very difficult to get them to take a public position. PECO Energy is filing a good protest to Entergy. C.

One of our MIC representatives reported that Entergy has filed a tariff amendment with a proposal to deal with these issues, and you may wish to examine the proposed business practices to evaluate the amendment's merits or potential complications. If so, below please find instructions for your convenience on how to access the Entergy tariff filing related to providing valid source and sink information for evaluation of transmission service, reservations and schedules: The information below provides an electronic link to Entergy's March 21, 2000, filing in FERC Docket No. ER00-1933. Because the filing is a series of scanned images, I do not know how to electronically transfer a copy of the actual filing. However, if you double-click on the http reference below, your web browser should take you to a page on the FERC web site. This FERC page should provide a space for you to enter a "document ID." In the space provided, please type in the following document ID: 2040905 Then hit the [enter] key on your keyboard. This will bring you to another FERC web page where you can click on "I=25" (on the far right-hand side of the screen) which will link you to the 25 imaged pages of Entergy's filing. <> http://rimsweb1.ferc.fed.us/rims.q?rp2~pagereq~RIMS~docID
