[Docket No. TX95-2-000]

    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.

file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection.
