Take notice that on October 17, 1994, The Wisconsin Public Power

Incorporated System (WPPI) tendered for filing an application

requesting that the Commission order Wisconsin Electric Power Company

(WEPCO), Wisconsin Power and Light Company (WP&L), and Wisconsin Public

Service Corporation (WPS) jointly, joint network tariff to provide

network transmission services on a joint, single-system basis to WPPI.

The application was filed pursuant to Section 211 of the Federal Power

Act, as amended by Energy Policy Act of 1992 (16 U.S.C. 824j).

In its application, WPPI requests that network service be provided

commencing on May 1, 1995, and continuing on a long-term basis

thereafter. The total transmission capacity requested would be

sufficient for WPPI to integrate its load in eastern Wisconsin (now

approximately 482 MW) with WPPI's resources. The service requested is

network service over the integrated transmission grid of the EWU. The

service requested includes both long and short-term firm and non-firm

use, comparable in all respects to the EWU's use of the EWU grid. WPPI

seeks services that will allow it, subject to existing power purchase

contracts, (i) to schedule power and energy from a variety of sources

within and outside of the EWU grid to WPPI's loads within the control

areas of WP&L, WEPCO and WPS on an economic dispatch basis and in

response to planned and unplanned outages and (ii) to engage in

coordination purchases and sales using the EWU grid in the same manner

as the owners of that grid schedule their power and energy

transactions. The service would be costed on single-system basis for

the EWU, with one joint rate for use of the integrated transmission

system of three utilities. Revenues would be shared by the EWU. WPPI

also requested that the EWU unbundle their transmission services from

power sales services.

Copies of the application have been served upon the affected

parties, WEPCO, WP&L, WPS, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin,

and upon Madison Gas & Electric Company.

Comment date: November 9, 1994, in accordance with Standard

Paragraph E at the end of this notice.

Standard Paragraphs

E. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should

file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 18 CFR 385.214). All such

motions or protests should be filed on or before the comment date.

Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the

appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants

parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must

file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public inspection.

Secretary.
