    [Docket No. EC98-8-000]
    
        Take notice that on October 22, 1997, Wisconsin Energy Corporation 
    (``WEC'') and ESELCO, Inc. (``ESELCO''), on behalf of themselves and 
    their jurisdictional subsidiaries \1\ (collectively ``Applicants''), 
    tendered for filing pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act 
    (the ``FPA''), 16 U.S.C. Sec. 824b (1994) and Part 33, 18 CFR 33.1-
    33.10, and Section 2.26, 18 CFR 2.26, of the regulations of the Federal 
    Energy Regulatory Commission (the ``Commission''), an Application for 
    Approval of Merger and Related Authorizations (``Application'').
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        \1\ The FERC jurisdictional subsidiaries of WEC are Wisconsin 
    Electric Power Company (``Wisconsin Electric'') and Griffin Energy 
    Marketing, L.L.C. (``Griffin''), a power marketer. Griffin is a 
    wholly-owned subsidiary of WISVEST Corporation, which, like 
    Wisconsin Electric, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WEC. The FERC 
    jurisdictional subsidiary of ESELCO is Edison Sault Electric Company 
    (``Edison Sault'').
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        The merger is structured so that ESL Acquisition, Inc., a new WEC 
    subsidiary created solely to effectuate the merger, will be merged into 
    ESELCO, making ESELCO a wholly-owned subsidiary of WEC. Under the new 
    corporate structure, Wisconsin Electric and ESELCO will be separate, 
    first-tier subsidiaries of WEC, and they will retain their corporate 
    existence. Wisconsin Electric and Edison Sault will each retain their 
    own identities as public utilities and their current service 
    territories. Wisconsin Electric and Edison Sault will continue to 
    operate independently, but Applicants have proposed a single-system 
    open access transmission tariff.
        The Applicants state that they have submitted the information 
    required by Part 33 of the Commission's regulations and by the 
    Commission's Inquiry Concerning the Commission's Merger Policy Under

    ESELCO's wholesale customers, on the Michigan Public Service Commission 
    and the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, and on other parties
