[Docket No. EL01-105-000]


The New Power Company, Complainant v. PJM Interconnection, 
L.L.C., Respondent; Notice of Complaint

July 20, 2001.
    Take notice that on July 19, 2001, The New Power Company (New 
Power) filed a complaint requesting that the Commission find that (1) 
the rules for ensuring reliable electric service in the Pennsylvania-
New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) control area have resulted in prices for 
capacity in the PJM auction and bilateral markets that are unjust and 
unreasonable, and (2) the continued imposition of the existing capacity 
requirement and deficiency charge on load serving entities (LSEs) under 
the current changed circumstances resulting from restructuring, is 
unjust and unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory and preferential. 
New Power further requests that the Commission order PJM to eliminate 
immediately the recently imposed seasonal deficiency penalty and set 
the Capacity Deficiency Rate (CDR) on a daily basis at the higher of 
the marginal cost of the least efficient capacity resource required to 
make up the deficiency on that day or the Alternate Value, i.e., the 
difference between the energy prices on that day at the Cinergy Hub and 
PJM's Western Hub.
    New Power requests that the Commission set a refund effective date 
of 60 days from the date of filing of its complaint.
    Copies of New Power's filing were served on PJM, all parties to 
PJM's Reliability Assurance Agreement and each state electric utility 
regulatory commission in the PJM control area.
    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

and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). All such motions or 
protests must be filed on or before August 3, 2001. Protests will be

be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
