E6-6965. Braintree Electric Light Department; Notice of Filing

May 2, 2006.

On January 19, 2006, Braintree Electric Light Department (Braintree) filed a petition for declaratory order requesting that the Commission determine that the rates and changes associated with a reliability must-run agreement between Braintree and ISO-NE for Braintree's 96 MW, dual-fuel, combined cycle Potter 2 generating facility will satisfy the “just and reasonable” criteria of section 205 of the Federal Power Act.

On March 23, 2006, the Director, Division of Markets and Tariff Development—East of the Commission's Office of Energy Markets and Reliability issued, in the above-captioned proceeding, a letter asking Braintree to submit additional information. The Director's March 23 letter further noted that “these questions will require consultation with ISO New England (ISO-NE).”

Take notice that on April 19, 2006 ISO-NE filed a response to the Director's March 23, 2006 letter.
