By order dated April 30, 1996, HCAR No. 26512, the SEC permitted the
application-declaration of Consolidated and Energy Services to become
effective, thereby authorizing Energy Services to organize and acquire a new
special purpose subsidiary, CNG Energy Arbitrage Corporation ("CNG Energy
Arbitrage"). CNG Energy Arbitrage would, in turn, acquire a one-third general
partnership interest in Energy Alliance Partnership ("Energy Alliance"), a to-
be-formed Delaware partnership. The other general partners were to be Noverco
Energy Services (U.S.)Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Noverco, Inc., and
H.Q. Energy Services (U.S.)Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hydro-Quebec.
Energy Alliance was to engage in the business of marketing electricity, gas
and other fuels, initially in the northeastern and middle Atlantic United
States. Mirror image parent-subsidiary debt and/or equity financing of up to
$10 million by Consolidated, Energy Services and CNG Arbitrage was also
authorized.
To date neither CNG Arbitrage nor Energy Alliance has been formed due to
the inability to obtain an order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
permitting Energy Alliance to be a wholesale marketer of electricity;
consequently there are no business or financing transactions to be reported
under the above file number.
