DATES:

April 16, 2001.

Take notice that on April 11, 2001, Wisvest-Connecticut, LLC (Wisvest), Bridgeport Harbor Power LLC (BHP), New Haven Harbor Power LLC (NHHP), and NRG Connecticut Power Assets LLC (NRG Connecticut), pursuant to Section 203 of the Federal Power Act, filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an amendment to their February 16, 2001 application requesting authorization for Wisvest to transfer to NRG Connecticut the 590-MW Bridgeport Harbor Power Station, 466-MW New Haven Harbor Power Station, and associated power sales agreements. At closing, NRG Connecticut would in turn transfer the Bridgeport Harbor Station to BHP and the New Haven Harbor Station to NHHP, but would retain the power sales agreements. By this amendment, the Applicants seek to eliminate the final step of the proposed transaction: NRG Connecticut will retain both the Bridgeport Harbor Power Station and the New Haven Harbor Power Station, that is, NRG Connecticut will not transfer any facilities to BHP or NHHP.
