MEMORANDUM

TO: Regulatory Affairs Committee

DATE: November 12, 2001

RE: EPSA Draft Motion to Intervene and Protest in the
WestConnect RTO filing
? Filing due November 15th
?
Attached is EPSA's motion to intervene and protest in the WestConnect RTO filing (Docket Nos. EL02-9-000 and RT02-1-000). The draft primarily focuses on independence and governance issues, however also highlights the WestConnect tariff, congestion management, market monitoring, pricing and interconnection aspects of the filing. For example, the draft argues that the participating transmission owners retain too much authority over RTO operations, that FERC should require all RTO load to take service under the WestConnect tariff, and that WestConnect should adopt the GridFlorida market monitoring plan.

Interventions are due to FERC on Thursday, November 15th. Please have any edits or comments to Erin Perrigo at eperrigo@epsa.org by noon on Wednesday, November 14th. We'll also discuss the draft on this week's Regulatory Affairs conference call on Wednesday, November 14th, at 3:30 P.M. (EST). To access the call, dial 1-800-937-6563. Ask for the Julie Simon/EPSA Call. If you have further questions or comments, please contact Erin Perrigo at eperrigo@epsa.org or 202-628-8200.
