3. Qst Energy Trading Inc. v. Central Illinois Public Service Company
and Union Electric Company
[Docket No. EL97-43-000]
Take notice that on September 18, 1997, pursuant to Section 306 of
the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 825e, and Rule 206 of the Rules of
Practice and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(``Commission''), 18 CFR 385.206, QST Energy Trading, Inc. (``QST'')
tendered for filing a Supplemental Verified Complaint against Central
Illinois Public Service Company (``CIPS'') and Union Electric Company
(``UE''). In the original Complaint filed on June 25, 1997, QST alleged
that CIPS and UE, which is operating CIPS' transmission system, refused
to provide QST with monthly firm transmission service to deliver firm
energy and capacity which was being sold by CIPS, despite Available
Transmission Capability shown on the MAIN OASIS; violated Section 37 of
the Commission's Rules related to posting and providing transmission
information; and failed to provide timely notice of transmission
availability.
The Supplemental Complaint concerns a series of additional acts by
CIPS/UE: CIPS' refusal to provide QST with data pursuant to Section
37.6(b)(ii) due to the pendency of a Complaint; CIPS' and UE's
continued late notification of the availability of transmission
service; continuing violation by CIPS/UE of posting requirements under
Section 37.6; CIPS/UE's faulty calculation of ATC; and CIPS/UE's anti-
competitive refusal to make CIPS' transmission system available for use
by a marketer like QST.
QST argues that these actions require an immediate response by the
Commission of ordering an audit of CIPS/UE's actions this summer in
relation to its compliance with Section 37.6 and its denials of service
to QST.
QST has asked that CIPS and UE be ordered to comply with Section
37.6 immediately; be required to join a regional ISO; the Commission
find that no demand charges are due to be paid by QST on days when
CIPS/UE denied or failed to provide timely transmission service;
determine whether damages or penalties are due to be paid by CIPS/UE,
and such other relief as the Commission deems appropriate.
Comment date: October 10, 1997, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph E at the end of this notice. Answers to the Complaint shall
be due on or before October 10, 1997.
