Services Corp.; Tenaska Frontier Partners, Ltd.; Williams Energy 
Marketing & Trading Company, Complainants, v. Entergy Services, 
Inc., Respondent

[Docket No. EL02-46-000]

    Take notice that on January 8, 2002, The Generator Coalition, 
comprised of Calcasieu Power, LLC, Calpine Central, L.P., Exelon 
Generation Company, LLC, Mirant Americas Energy Marketing LP, 
Perryville Energy Partners, LLC, Wrightsville Power Facility, LLC, 
Mississippi Delta Energy Agency, the Clarksdale Public Utilities 
Commission, the Public Service Commission of Yazoo City, Occidental 
Chemical Corporation, PLC II, LLC, Reliant Energy Power Generation, 
Inc., TECO Power Services Corp., Tenaska Frontier Partners, Ltd., and 
Williams Energy Marketing & Trading Company, submitted a complaint 
against Entergy Services, Inc. (``Entergy'') requesting fast track 
processing by the Commission.
    The Generator Coalition alleges that Entergy is charging 
independent generating facility customers unjust, unreasonable, and 
unduly discriminatory rates for energy imbalances resulting from 
generation under deliveries by overstating its incremental cost for 
supplying such balancing energy in rates under its Generator Imbalance 
Agreement (``GIA''). The Generator Coalition also alleges that Entergy 
refuses to credit non-offending generators with the penalties it 
collects under the GIA. Entergy is also preventing unaffiliated 
generators from self-supplying imbalance service or obtaining imbalance 
service from third parties, and thus forces generators into paying 
these inflated ``incremental costs.'' Further, The Generator Coalition 
contends that Entergy is violating the Standards of Conduct by allowing 
its wholesale merchant arm, the entity that competes with independent 
generators in the Entergy control area, to control numerous 
transmission-related functions under the guise of implementing 
Entergy's generator imbalance agreements. Entergy has also refused to 
include an appropriate RTO clause in its GIA, making clear that 
generators may, at their discretion, properly obtain generator 
imbalance services from an RTO-wide generator imbalance market that may 
be implemented by the Commission in the future. Lastly, the Generator 
Coalition contends that Entergy has failed to explain or justify the 
criteria it utilizes when it declares a ``Low-Load Event'' under the 
GIA.
    Comment Date: January 28, 2002. Answers to the complaint shall also 
be filed on or before January 28, 2002.
