02-25141. Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company; Notice of Filing

September 23, 2002.

Take notice that on September 18, 2002, Louisville Gas and Electric Company (LG&E) and Kentucky Utilities Company (KU) (collectively, LG&E/KU) and as amended on September 19, 2002, hereby tender for filing with the Commission amendments to two agreements between LG&E/KU and East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC). The two agreements are: (a) the Transmission Agreement between Kentucky Utilities Company and East Kentucky Power Cooperative, Inc. entered into on February 9, 1995, as supplemented, and (b) the Interconnection Agreement Between Kentucky Utilities Company and East Kentucky Power Cooperative, Inc. dated May 11, 1995 but effective on October 22, 1994, as supplemented (collectively, the Agreements).

The purpose of this filing is to recognize LG&E/KU's status as a transmission owner and member of the MISO and to adjust the relevant rates, terms and conditions of transmission service provided to EKPC under the Agreements such that they are equal to the corresponding rates, terms and conditions of service that EKPC would pay if it were a direct transmission customer of the MISO (i.e., the rates, terms and conditions of service in effect from time to time under the MISO's Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT)). Each agreement is a grandfathered agreement listed on Attachment P of the MISO OATT and pursuant to the terms of each grandfathered agreement, LG&E/KU have the unilateral right to file to change the rates, terms and conditions of service applicable to EKPC.

All such motions or protests should be filed on or before the comment date, and, to the extent applicable, must be served on the applicant and on any other person designated on the official service list.
