MOTION OF ENRON POWER MARKETING, INC. 
FOR LEAVE TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD

	Pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 385.212 (2000), Enron Power Marketing, Inc. ("EPMI"), an intervenor in these proceedings, hereby moves for leave to supplement the record in the above-captioned dockets.  In support, EPMI states:
I.
BACKGROUND
				
	On July 12, 2001, the Commission issued several orders in the above-referenced proceedings.  In Southwest Power Pool, Inc., 96 F.E.R.C ¶ 61,062 (2001)(Docket Nos. RT01-34-000 and RT01-75-000), the Commission rejected the regional transmission organization ("RTO") filings of the S
outhwest Power Pool, Inc. ("SPP") and Entergy Services, Inc. ("Entergy").  In GridSouth Transco, LLC, 96 F.E.R.C. ¶ 61,067 (2001)(Docket No. RT01-74-002), the Commission rejected portions of the RTO filing of GridSouth Transco, LLC ("GridSouth") and found that "[i]n order to successfully encompass the natural markets for bulk power in the Southeast, it is necessary that the Southeast transmission owners combine to form a single RTO."  Finally, in Southern Company Services, Inc., 96 F.E.R.C. ¶ 61,064 (2001)(Docket No. RT01-77-000), the Commission found that the scope of the RTO proposed by Southern Company Services, Inc. ("Southern") did not meet the requirements of Order No. 2000. 
	Additionally, the Commission issued on July 12, 2001, an order initiating mediation for the purpose of facilitating the formation of a single RTO for the Southeast.  Regional Transmission Organizations, 96 F.E.R.C. ¶ 61,066 (2001).  The Commission directed the parties in Docket Nos. RT01-34-000, RT01-75-000, RT01-74-000, and RT01-77-000 to participate in the mediation, and encouraged parties in RT01-67-000 (GridFlorida, LLC ("GridFlorida")) to participate as well.  Mediation commenced on July 17, 2001, and is ongoing.
	On August 13, 2001, many parties requested rehearing and clarification of the Commission's orders in these proceedings and the North Carolina Public Utilities Commission requested a stay of the mediation proceeding pending resolution of the rehearing requests.

II.
DISCUSSION	 
	EPMI respectfully requests that the Commission grant its motion for leave to supplement the record in the above-referenced proceedings to permit the inclusion of the attached Affidavit of Dr.  Judith B. Cardell on behalf of EPMI.  Dr. Cardell's affidavit provides an analysis of the electricity transactions and power flows in the greater Southeast, including in the service areas of GridSouth, Southern, GridFlorida, Entergy, SPP, and Tennessee Valley Authority ("TVA"), each of which has proposed a separate RTO, in order to determine an appropriate scope and regional configuration for an RTO in the Southeast.  The results of Dr. Cardell's analysis show that the Southeast, including the service areas of GridSouth, Southern, Entergy, and GridFlorida, is a single market and should be operated as such to ensure efficient market development and a reliable, secure transmission system in the Southeast.  The analysis further shows that TVA should be included in a single Southeast RTO, but that SPP can reasonably be included in a Southeast or a Midwest RTO.  
	Specifically, the power flows that Dr. Cardell includes in her affidavit show that transmission providers in the Southeast engage in significant purchase and sales transactions with each other, as well as with marketers, throughout the Southeast.  These transactions cause parallel flows throughout the Southeast and with neighboring regions.  These patterns of transactions and powerflows  reinforce the need for a single southeastern RTO capable of ensuring the security and reliability of the regional transmission grid, as well as efficient market development in the region.
	EPMI has participated actively in the mediation proceeding and believes that the additional information provided in the attached affidavit will assist the Commission in reviewing any final report of the mediator in Docket No. RT01-100-000. 
III.
CONCLUSION
	WHEREFORE, EPMI moves the Commission to grant its motion and permit the supplemental evidence attached to become part of the record.

						Respectfully submitted,
