[Docket No. EL05-56-000]


Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control, Complainant v. 
ISO New England and New England Power Pool, Respondent; Notice of 
Complaint

January 18, 2005.
    Take notice that on January 14, 2005, Connecticut Department of 
Public Utility Control (CT DPUC), submitted a petition to the 
Commission for an order directing the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) 
and ISO New England (ISO-NE) to amend the currently effective NEPOOL 
Open Access transmission Tariff (OATT) and the superseding OATT of the 
Regional Transmission Organization for New England (RTO-NE), approved 
by the Commission in ISO New England, Inc., 106 FERC ] 61,280 (2004). 
CT DPUC states that under the NEPOOL and RTO-NE OATT formula rates, 
certain local customers unjustly and unreasonably pay in advance for 
Pool Transmission Facilities (PTF) capital additions. CT DPUC further 
states that the PTF additions--as much as $3 billion in New England 
over the next five years--are necessary to realize regional, system-
wide reliability and economic benefits, and the Commission has ordered 
such costs to be regionalized across New England. CT DPUC explains that 
the current NEPOOL tariff and the superceding RTO-NE tariff require 
some local customers to pay these regional costs up front to the extent 
they are not recovered in the regional OATT, with no reimbursement 
until the following year.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). 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 notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's 
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before 
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and 
protests must be served on the Complainants.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
