Docket-EO-05-01: Documents Concerning the 2005-2007 Emergency Reliability Orders Concerning the Potomac River Generating Station under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act

The Department of Energy hereby makes the following documents in DOE docket number EO-05-01 available to the public. This proceeding is separate from a proceeding before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) at FERC docket number EL05-145-000. Submissions to DOE's docket are not considered to be filed in the FERC docket, and actions taken in the docket before DOE have no bearing on actions taken by FERC in the docket before it. However, DOE's 12-20-05 Order does use documents filed in FERC's docket number EL05-145-000. FERC's docket can be accessed at http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/search/fercadvsearch.asp.

Please note that DOE's December 20, 2005 Order No. 202-05-03 concerning the operation of the Mirant power plant in Alexandria, VA expired on July 1, 2007, as there is no need for any extension of it since Pepco completed and made operational its two new 230kV lines into downtown Washington, DC on June 29, 2007.

Pepco's June 29, 2007 announcement conffcerning the completion and operation of these two new lines can be found at the "News and Information" portion of www.pepco.com.
