[Docket Nos. ER05-320-000]


 Unitil Energy Systems, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 7, 2005.
    Unitil Energy Systems, Inc. (UES) filed an application for market-
based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed tariff 
provides for wholesale sales of energy, capacity and ancillary services 
at market-based rates. UES also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, UES requested that the Commission grant 
blanket approval under 18 CFR part 34 of all future issuances of 
securities and assumptions of liability by UES.
    On February 2, 2005, the Commission granted the request for blanket 
approval under part 34, subject to the following:
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approval 
of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by UES 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, 385.214 (2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protest, is March 4, 2005.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
UES is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or 
liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect 
of any security of another person; provided that such issuance or 
assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of 
UES, compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary 
or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of UES's issuances of securities or assumptions of 
liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Commission's Order are available 
from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's
