(together with JCP&L and Met-Ed,

of the Act.

By order dated December 15, 1993

(HCAR No. 25948) (‘‘Order’’), the

Commission, among other things,

authorized the Operating Companies to

enter into, from time-to-time, operation

and maintenance agreements (‘‘O&M

Agreements’’) with nonutility

generation facilities (‘‘NUGs’’): (1) with

which an Operating Company has

entered into a power purchase

agreement; or (2) which are otherwise

located within the service territory of

one of the Operating Companies or that

of an adjacent utility. The NUGs are

‘‘qualifying facilities’’ under the Public

Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978

and the regulations thereunder of the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

or, more recently, ‘‘exempt wholesale

generators’’, as defined in section 32 of

the Act.

The fees and other terms and

conditions of each O&M Agreement

were to be as negotiated between the

Operating Company and the NUG

facility owner, and were expected to be

market-based. In the Order, the

Commission reserved jurisdiction

pending completion of the record over

the performance by the Operating

Companies of the operation and

maintenance services (‘‘O&M Services’’)

to be performed under the O&M

Agreements for NUGs located: (1) In

New Jersey; or (2) within the service

territories of the Operating Companies

or adjacent service territories, but with

which an Operating Company does not

have a power purchase agreement.1
