Complainant, v. American Electric Power Service Corporation, as Agent 
for the Operating Companies of American Electric Power Company, Inc., 
Respondent; Notice of Complaint

June 19, 2002.
    Take notice that on June 18, 2002, Public Utility District No. 1 of 
Snohomish County, Washington (Snohomish) filed a complaint against 
American Electric Power Service Corporation (AEP), as agent for the 
Operating Companies of American Electric Power Company, Inc., 
concerning a long-term power supply contract executed by AEP with 
Snohomish in January 2001, when the Western energy markets allegedly 
were dysfunctional. Snohomish requests that the Commission: (i) revoke 
AEP's market-based rate authority; and (2) terminate the contract or, 
in the alternative, reform the price to the $24/MWh historical average 
in the Pacific Northwest. Snohomish also requests that the Commission 
set a refund effective date as early as July 2, 2001, and not later 
than 60 days from the date of filing of its complaint. A copy of the 
complaint was served on AEP.
    Snohomish has requested privileged treatment of certain information 
in the complaint, and has filed privileged and public copies of the 
complaint, a request for privileged treatment, and a protective 
agreement.
