Entergy Services, Inc., Respondent

Take notice that on January 8, 2002, The Generator Coalition, comprised of Calcasieu Power, LLC, Calpine Central, L.P., Exelon Generation Company, LLC, Mirant Americas Energy Marketing LP, Perryville Energy Partners, LLC, Wrightsville Power Facility, LLC, Mississippi Delta Energy Agency, the Clarksdale Public Utilities Commission, the Public Service Commission of Yazoo City, Occidental Chemical Corporation, PLC II, LLC, Reliant Energy Power Generation, Inc., TECO Power Services Corp., Tenaska Frontier Partners, Ltd., and Williams Energy Marketing & Trading Company, submitted a complaint against Entergy Services, Inc. (“Entergy”) requesting fast track processing by the Commission.

The Generator Coalition alleges that Entergy is charging independent generating facility customers unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory rates for energy imbalances resulting from generation under deliveries by overstating its incremental cost for supplying such balancing energy in rates under its Generator Imbalance Agreement (“GIA”). The Generator Coalition also alleges that Entergy refuses to credit non-offending generators with the penalties it collects under the GIA. Entergy is also preventing unaffiliated generators from self-supplying imbalance service or obtaining imbalance service from third parties, and thus forces generators into paying these inflated “incremental costs.” Further, The Generator Coalition contends that Entergy is violating the Standards of Conduct by allowing its wholesale merchant arm, the entity that competes with independent generators in the Entergy control area, to control numerous transmission-related functions under the guise of implementing Entergy's generator imbalance agreements. Entergy has also refused to include an appropriate RTO clause in its GIA, making clear that generators may, at their discretion, properly obtain generator imbalance services from an RTO-wide generator imbalance market that may be implemented by the Commission in the future. Lastly, the Generator Coalition contends that Entergy has failed to explain or justify the criteria it utilizes when it declares a “Low-Load Event” under the GIA.

Comment Date: January 28, 2002. Answers to the complaint shall also be filed on or before January 28, 2002.
