power plant located in the Town of Eustis, Maine, together with 
relevant power sales and interconnection agreements, to Boralex 
Stratton Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (Boralex). SEA states that 
the proposed sales are the final part of a plan that will serve the 
public interest by lowering costs to CMP and customers of CMP through a 
restructuring of long term contracts with qualifying facilities. This 
plan was described by SEA in filings made in Docket Nos. EC98-42-000 
and ER98-2931-000. The transactions do not require and will not result 
in the withdrawal of any capacity from the market. Boralex plans to 
continue to operate the transferred assets as a qualifying small power 
production facility.
    SEA has requested expedited consideration of the application, in 
light of that no amendments of any rate schedules are being requested,

assets as a qualifying small power production facility.
