In its Amendment No. 5 to Form U-1, Energy East Corporation ("Energy East"
or "Applicant") stated that it would submit a post-effective amendment
confirming its transmission arrangements, in compliance with the requirement
that the Central Maine Power Company ("CMP") and New York State Electric and Gas
Company ("NYSEG") be physically interconnected or capable of physical
interconnection through a contract providing for 50 megawatts of firm
transmission, for east-to-west firm point-to-point transmission service from the
CMP system to the NYSEG system (the "Contract Path").
By this filing, Energy East informs the Commission that, in compliance with
this requirement, NYSEG has acquired from Williams Energy Marketing & Trading
Company ("WEMT") 51 megawatts of Firm Point-To-Point Transmission Service in the
form of Out Service, as that service is defined in the OATT, beginning on
September 14, 2000 and ending on July 1, 2001.
WEMT obtained this transmission entitlement as a customer under the New
England Power Pool Open Access Transmission Tariff ("OATT") and pursuant to a
service agreement with the New England Independent System Operator. Since NYSEG
is also a customer under the OATT, it is eligible to receive these transmission
rights from WEMT, consistent with Section 37 of the OATT, "Sale, Assignment or
Transfer of Transmission Service."
For the period of September 1, 2000 through September 13, 2000, NYSEG
received firm and non-firm transmission service from ISO New England ("ISO-NE")
via its OASIS transmission reservation system. Additionally, NYSEG has
submitted an application to ISO New England, Inc. for 50 megawatts of Long-term
Firm Point-to-Point Transmission Service in the form of Out Service consistent
with the OATT, for a term of two years beginning January 1, 2001. If NYSEG
obtains this service, it will have a right of first refusal to extend service
for additional terms. This application is being reviewed by ISO New England,
which will perform a system impact study to determine an effective manner in
which to provide the requested service. As provided in the Application, CMP and
NYSEG will obtain additional service extending through March 31, 2003, and prior
to that date will either extend their right to use the Contract Path or will
file a post-effective amendment explaining how the Energy East system will
continue to satisfy the interconnection requirement if its rights with respect
to the Contract Path are not extended.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of
1935, the undersigned company has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No.
1 to Form U-1 Application/Declaration to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
