E6-18672. Town of Stowe Electric Department, Town of Hardwick Electric Department, Village of Hyde Park Electric Department, Village of Johnson Water & Light Department, Village of Morrisville Water & Light, Department, Complainants v. Vermont ...

October 30, 2006.

Take notice that on October 23, 2006, the Town of Stowe Electric Department, the Town of Hardwick Electric Department, the Village of Hyde Park Electric Department, the Village of Johnson Water & Light Department, and the Village of Morrisville Water & Light Department (collectively, the “Lamoille County Systems) filed a formal complaint against Vermont Transco LLC and Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) pursuant to section 206 of the Federal Power Act and Rules 206 and 207 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. The complaint alleges that the cost allocation provisions, and the lack of a withdrawal, expiration or termination provision, in the 1991 Transmission Agreement between Vermont Transco LLC (as successor to VELCO) and each of them, are unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory and contrary to the public interest. The Lamoille County Systems request an order declaring that they are entitled to withdraw from said agreement upon reasonable notice and take network integration transmission service under Schedule 21-VTransco of the ISO New England Inc. FERC Electric Tariff No. 3.

The Lamoille County Systems certify that copies of the complaint were served on the contacts for Vermont Transco LLC and VELCO as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate Officials.
