MOTION OF EPSA FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE AND PROTEST, ENTERGY SERVICES, INC.

I.

On March 21, 2000, Entergy Services, Inc. (Entergy), on behalf of its operating utilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, filed Attachment M to its Open-Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) seeking authorization to require point to point (PTP) customers to submit reservations and transmission schedules that designate specific and valid sources and sinks. Entergy's filing excludes load-only control areas from the definition of valid sources and generation-only control areas from the definition of valid sinks.

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.¹ 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 do business under Entergy's OATT and will be impacted by the changes proposed in Attachment M. Therefore, EPSA has a direct and substantial interest in the issue presented in this proceeding that cannot be represented by any other party.
