On June 29, 2001, the NSTAR Companies (Boston Edison, Cambridge Electric, Commonwealth Electric) made a 317-page tariff filing in compliance with FERC's order that required the companies to amend their Standard Form Interconnection Agreement for Generators.

The amendments have an effective date of May 30, 2001 and include:

- explanation of the role of ISO-New England when redispatch costs materialize
- 120-day Notice to Proceed provision
- new method of allocating costs of upgrades to system protection equipment
- deletion of requirement that generators provide security greater than estimated construction costs
- new indemnification provisions
- compensation for real/reactive power in emergencies

If you would like more information on this filing, please let me know.
