Take notice that on February 6, 1995, Wisconsin Electric Power

Company (Wisconsin Electric or the Company), tendered for filing

revisions to its coordination rate schedules between itself and a

revisions would allow Wisconsin Electric to recoup the cost of sulphur

dioxide emission allowances associated with the production of energy

under these agreements and rate schedules. Under the federal Clean Air

Act (42 U.S.C. Section 7401 et seq.), Wisconsin Electric would assume

liability for the costs of procurement of these emission allowances.

The rate revisions would allow reimbursement, in cash or in kind, up to

100% of the replacement cost in all service schedules using incremental

costs. Energy purchasers would be allowed to defer reimbursement of

emission allowances until such time as the Company must surrender

emission allowances to the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

The filing designates the Cantor Fitzgerald Environmental Brokerage

Service as the Company's monthly market index to be used in instances

where the energy purchaser decides to reimburse Wisconsin Electric in

cash. The submittal also explains Wisconsin Electric's least cost plan

that incorporates the Clean Air Act's reduced utilization provisions

for Phase 1 affected units may cause the Company's cost recovery to be

less than total replacement cost.

Wisconsin Electric respectfully requests an effective date of April

1, 1995.

purchasers, the Michigan Public Service Commission, and the Public
