CLECO Energy, L.L.C.; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 19, 1998.
    CLECO Energy, L.L.C. (CLECO Energy) filed an application for 
authorization to sell power at market-based rates, and for certain 
waivers and authorizations. In particular, CLECO Energy requested that 
the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all 
future issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by CLECO 
Energy. On February 17, 1998, the Commission issued an Order Accepting 
For Filing Proposed Market-Based Rates (Order), in the above-docketed 
proceeding.
    The Commission's February 17, 1998 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
ordering Paragraphs (C), (D), and (F):
    (C) Within 30 days of the date of this order, any person desiring

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of

Ordering Paragraph (C) above, CLECO Energy is hereby authorized to

indorser, surety or otherwise in respect of any security of another

object within the corporate purposes of CLECO Energy, compatible with 
the public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such 
purposes.
