    Take notice that on November 13, 2003, Midwest Generation EME, LLC (MWGen) tendered for filing, under section 205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), a tariff for Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from Generation Sources Service (Reactive Power) service provided to the transmission facilities controlled by Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) and filed a conditional complaint requesting fast track processing under section 206 of the FPA against ComEd and Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon Generation). MWGen requests that the Commission accept for filing its FERC Electric Tariff, Original Volume No. 3 (Tariff) to become effective on January 1, 2004 for the collection of Reactive Power rates from ComEd.

MWGen states that if the Commission accepts MWGen's Tariff without change and without setting it for hearing, then MWGen does not require the relief requested in this conditional complaint and therefore withdraws it. However, if the Commission sets MWGen's Tariff for hearing or does not accept it as proposed, then MWGen requests that the Commission conduct a hearing regarding ComEd's Reactive Power payments to Exelon Generation and require ComEd to compensate MWGen for Reactive Power to the same degree that it compensates its affiliate, Exelon Generation.

    MWGen states that it has served a copy of this filing on ComEd, Exelon Generation and the Illinois Commerce Commission.
