Medical Area Total Energy Plant, Inc., New MATEP Inc.; Notice of 
Application for Commission Certification of Qualifying Status of a 
Cogeneration Facility

January 4, 2010.
    Take notice that on December 29, 2009, Medical Area Total Energy 
Plant, Inc. and New MATEP Inc., 474 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA 02215, 
filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an application for 
recertification of a facility as a qualifying cogeneration facility 
pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(b) of the Commission's regulations. No 
determination has been made that the submittal constitutes a complete 
filing.
    The facility is a central district energy plant located in the 
Longwood Medical and Academic Area of Boston, MA that operates in both 
cogeneration and combined cycle modes, currently comprised of 
combustion turbine, diesel and steam turbine generators, heat recovery 
steam generators, conventional boilers, and large industrial chillers. 
Annual consumption by MATEP's commercial and institutional customers 
totals over 1.7 billion pounds of steam, 91 ton-hours of refrigeration 
and 316 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. Its primary energy 
sources are natural gas and oil based fuels.
    The facility is interconnected with NSTAR Electric Company, and 
sells excess electric power output that is not consumed by the 
facility's institutional and commercial customers to ISO New England 
Inc. The facility purchases supplementary, standby, back-up and 
maintenance power from either NSTAR Electric Company or Constellation 
New Energy, Inc.
    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. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Applicant. On or before the comment date, it is 
not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons 
other than the Applicant.
    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
