Southern Co. et al. (70–8733)

The Southern Company, a registered

public utility holding company, located

at 270 Peachtree Street, N.W., Atlanta,

Georgia, Southern Energy, Inc. (‘‘SEI’’),

a nonutility subsidiary company, and

Southern Energy Resources, Inc., a

nonutility subsidiary company of SEI,

both located at 900 Ashwood Parkway,

Suite 500, Atlanta, Georgia 30338, have

filed a post-effective amendment under

section 12(c) of the Act and rules 46 and

54 under the Act.

By supplemental orders dated July 17,

1996 and July 2, 1997 (HCAR Nos.

26543 and 26738, respectively), the

Commission authorized SEI and its

current and future subsidiaries to pay

dividends to their parent companies

with respect to the securities of such

companies through June 30, 2000, out of

capital or unearned surplus (including

revaluation reserve). In both orders the

Commission reserved jurisdiction over

payment of dividends out of capital or

unearned surplus by any current or

future subsidiary company of SEI that

derived any material part of its revenues

from the sale of goods, services,

electricity or natural gas to any of

Southern’s five domestic electric utility

subsidiaries or to Southern Company

Services, Inc.

SEI and its current and future

subsidiaries now propose to extend the

time during which they may declare and

pay dividends to their parent companies

with respect to the securities of such

companies, from time to time through

June 30, 2002, out of capital or unearned

surplus. The Commission will continue

to reserve jurisdiction over the payment

of dividends out of capital or unearned

surplus by any current or future

subsidary company of SEI that derived

any material part of its revenues from

the sale of goods, services, electricity or

natural gas to any of Southern’s five

domestic electric utility subsidiaries or

to Southern Company Services, Inc. The

application cites the need to efficiently

manage the unrestricted cash of SEI and

its intermediate and special purpose

subsidiaries as the main reason for

extending the time to declare and issue

dividends.

For the Commission by the Division of

Investment Management, under delegated

authority.

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.
