In the Matter of the Application                            97--EL-AIS
of Monongahela Power Company
for authority to issue and sell debt securities.



To the Honorable

                                I

     The Applicant, Monongahela Power Company (hereinafter called
"Company" or "Applicant"), is an Ohio corporation, having its
principal office in the City of Marietta in said State, and a
public utility as defined in Section 4905.02 of the Ohio Revised
Code.  The Company is engaged in the generation, transmission,
distribution and sale of electricity in Washington, Monroe,
Morgan, Athens, Noble and Meigs Counties, Ohio, and elsewhere,

     The name and mailing address of the Company is:

                    Monongahela Power Company
                    1310 Fairmont Avenue
                    P.O. Box 1392
                    Fairmont, WV  26555-1392


                                1

<PAGE>


                               II

     The Applicant is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allegheny
Power System, Inc., (hereinafter called "Allegheny"), a Maryland
corporation, and a holding company registered under the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.  Allegheny as a registered
holding company, and the Company as a subsidiary of a registered
holding company, are subject to the jurisdiction of the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935.  In addition, the Applicant is
subject as to certain aspects of its operations to the
jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the
West Virginia Public Service Commission.



                               III

     The authorized capital stock of Applicant totals 9,500,000
shares having a total par value of $550,000,000, represented by
1,500,000 shares of $100 par value Cumulative Preferred Stock,
740,000 of which are now outstanding, and 8,000,000 shares of $50
par value Common Stock, of which 5,891,000 shares are now
outstanding and owned by Allegheny.  Outstanding First Mortgage
Bonds of the Applicant total $355,000,000 principal amount.
Applicant's Quarterly Income Debt Securities total $40,000,000
while its Pollution Control and Solid Waste Disposal Bonds total
$99,710,000.



                               IV

                         DEBT SECURITIES

     The Company requests authority through December 31, 2002, if
market conditions warrant, to issue and sell up to $200 million
aggregate principal amount of secured or unsecured medium term
notes, debentures, first mortgage bonds, or other debt securities
(the Debt Securities), in one or more series, but not to exceed a
total of $200 million (or its equivalent, based upon the exchange
rate on the applicable trade date in such foreign or composite
currencies as the Company shall designate at the time of
issuance).  The Company desires to have available sufficient
flexibility to adjust its financing program to developments in
the market for Debt Securities when and as they occur, in order
to obtain the best possible price or prices for the Debt
Securities.

     There is little doubt that the electric utility industry
will soon see full-blown competition.  There is new awareness
from Washington, D.C. to virtually every state capital that the
electric utility industry can no longer exist as a conglomeration
of independent, regulated monopolies.  Changes in the regulatory
environment at both the state and federal levels have set the
stage for transition.

                                2

<PAGE>

     The Company proposes to issue and sell over the next five
years, Debt Securities that in the aggregate will not exceed $200
million.  The Debt Securities will be sold to raise funds (1) to
be able to compete effectively in the new utility market, (2) for
possible early redemption of certain bonds, (3) for replacement
of certain bonds at maturity, (4) for tender offers for bonds,
(5) for redemption of or tender for series of preferred stock,
(6) for general corporate purposes, including the retirement of
any short-term debt and ongoing construction expenditures, (7) to
raise new funds for general corporate addition of assets, or (8)
for any combination of the above.

     The annual interest rate to be borne by each series of Debt
Securities, the price to be paid to the Company (which, in the
case of First Mortgage Bonds, shall not be less than 98% and
shall not exceed 101.75% of principal amount), will be determined
(1) by competitive bidding, (2) by negotiations between the
Company and private investors or (3) by negotiations or
arrangements with underwriters and/or agents for the sale of such
series.  The compensation to be paid to underwriters and/or
agents will be determined prior to the issuance of each
transaction.  It is expected that the successful bidders or, in
the event of a negotiated transaction, the underwriters and/or
agents, will make a public offering of the bonds, unless the size
of any series offered makes such public offering impracticable.

     Interest rate and the price to be paid to the Company will
be determined at the time of issuance. The Company will not,
without a further order of the Commission, proceed to issue and
sell the Debt Securities at interest rates greater than the
interest rates set out in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a
part hereof.

     The Debt Securities will be issued in one or more series,
with maturity and call provisions, if any, to be determined at
the time of issuance.

     If the Debt Securities are Secured Medium Term Notes or
First Mortgage Bonds, they will be issued under and secured,
together with the Company's presently outstanding First Mortgage
Bonds, and any Bonds of other series hereafter authorized and
issued, by the Mortgage Indenture dated August 1, 1945, as
supplemented and amended and as to be further supplemented and
amended by one or more Supplemental Indentures, each to be dated
as of the first day of the month in which the Debt Securities
issued thereunder are issued and sold.

     If the Debt Securities are unsecured medium term notes or
debentures, they will be issued subject to an Indenture between
the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee, dated as of May
15, 1995.

                                3

               EARLY REDEMPTION AND TENDER OFFERS:

     In view of current and prospective market conditions,
particularly interest rates, the Company believes that the
optional redemption of the below listed securities may be
advantageous to its ratepayers and share holders by reducing the
cost of its outstanding series of debt and equity.

     The Company may use part of the proceeds that are realized
from the issuance and sale of the Debt Securities either to make
a tender offer for or to effect the optional redemption prior to
maturity, if market conditions warrant, of any one or more of the
currently outstanding First Mortgage Bonds, Pollution Control or
Solid Waste Disposal Bonds, Quarterly Income Debt Securities, and
Preferred Stock series, not to exceed $200 million in the
aggregate, as follows:

                COMPETITION:  Up to $200 million
                                
     Monongahela may use the entire aggregate amount over the
next five years to prepare for competition in this era of
deregulation and uncertainty. Broad-based competition appears to
be inevitable and the future will be determined by the
marketplace.  As the Company prepares for competition, it needs
to be in a position to act quickly to raise funds.  In a
competitive marketplace, the Company must have both the
flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and the ability to
issue various forms of debt.  While we are unsure of the
particular application of these funds since legislation has not
been enacted in our states, certainly such developments or
corporate restructuring, Regional Power Exchange (RPX) funding
and regional transmission pacts are possible uses for such funds.

                                6

<PAGE>

                 GENERAL PURPOSES:  $200 million

     The entire aggregate amount may also be used for general
corporate purposes, to pay off short-term debt, or to raise new
funds for construction expenditures.

     Monongahela will incur expenses in the following areas in
connection with the issuance of the Debt Securities:

     Independent accountants*
     Legal fees*
     Printing*
     Trustee's fee*
     Trustee's expenses*
     Recordation fees and taxes*
     SEC registration fee*
     Bond rating fee*
     Blue sky fees and expenses*
     Miscellaneous*

     *The figures cannot be ascertained prior to issuance and
will be provided by amendment when they are ascertained.

     The Company proposes to file a registration statement with
respect to the Debt Securities covered by this Securities
Certificate under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     The Company has not filed an application or declaration on
Form U-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the
"Act") concerning the proposed issue of Debt Securities because
the issuance is exempt from such requirement pursuant to Rule 52
of the Act (17 C.F.R. 250.52) upon authorization of the issuance
by the Public Utility Commission.  Within 10 days after the
issuance, a copy of Certificate of Notification on Form U 6B-2
will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Rule 52.

                    of any short-term debt and ongoing

                    funds for general corporate addition of
                    assets, or (8) for any combination of the
                    above.
