[Docket No. EL00-65-000]


Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Cooperative v. Connecticut 
Yankee Atomic Power Company and Connecticut Light and Power Company; 
Notice of Complaint

April 10, 2000.
    Take notice that on April 7, 2000, the Connecticut Municipal 
Electric Energy Cooperative (CMEEC) filed a complaint against 
Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CY) and Connecticut Light & 
Power Company (CL&P). The complaint asserts that CY operated its 
nuclear generating plant imprudently before prematurely retiring it in 
December 1996, and that CY and CL&P have charged CMEEC through their 
formula rates approximately $2.2 million (from 1995 through 1998) for 
costs attributable to CY's imprudence or improper formula-rate 
collections of decommissioning costs. The Complaint requests that the 
Commission summarily find CY imprudent or, in the alternative, find 
that CMEEC has made a prima facie showing of imprudence and require CY 
to show affirmatively that it was prudent. The Complaint further 
requests that the Commission begin an investigation to identify the 
costs that CY and CL&P have improperly charged CMEEC through their 
formula rates and order them to refund such amounts.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions or 
protests must be filed on or before April 27, 2000. 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 in the Public Reference Room. This 
filing may also be viewed on the Internet a http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222) for assistance. Answers
