TransCanada Hydro Northeast Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 11, 2005.
    TransCanada Hydro Northeast Inc. (TC Hydro NE) 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. TC Hydro NE also requested 
waiver of various Commission regulations. In particular, TC Hydro NE 
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR part 
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability 
by TC Hydro NE.
    On February 10, 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 TC Hydro NE 
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 14, 2005.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, 
TC Hydro NE 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 
TC Hydro NE, 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 TC Hydro NE'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
