MOTION OF EPSA FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE AND PROTEST, COMMONWEALTH EDISON CO., Docket No. EL00-25-000
I.
On December 13, 1999, Commonwealth Edison Company, Commonwealth Edison Company of Indiana, Inc., IES Utilities Inc., Interstate Power Company and MidAmerican Energy Company (ComEd, et al.) jointly filed a petition for a declaratory Order, asking the Commission to make several findings with respect to a proposed Independent Transmission Company (ITC). By Notice issued December 20, 1999, the Commission set January 12, 2000 as the deadline for timely interventions and protests in this proceeding.
The Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA) is the national trade association representing competitive power suppliers active in U.S. and global power markets. EPSA's members, which include power generators, power marketers and suppliers of goods and services to the electric power supply industry, share a commitment to bring the benefits of competition to all electric customers. Using a broad spectrum of fossil-fuel and renewable technologies, EPSA's generator members supply reliable, competitively priced electricity, steam and other forms of useful energy from environmentally-responsible facilities.<sup>1</sup> EPSA members either own generating facilities or trade power in wholesale markets and are engaged in making market-based sales in a competitive electric market. As participants in interstate wholesale power markets, EPSA members will do business with the ITC proposed by ComEd, et al. Therefore, EPSA has a direct and substantial interest in the issue presented in this proceeding that cannot be represented by any other party.
The comments contained in this filing represent the position of EPSA as an organization, but not necessarily the view of any particular member with respect to any specific issue.
