    (b)     Joint Use. A specific Transmission Substationshall be classified as "*Joint Us*e" if, as of the Closing Dateand assuming the completion of construction of all Intended DistributionFacilities:

(i) the Transmission Substation or any portion of the    electrical capacity is used for Distribution as well as Transmission; *provided,    howeve*r, that Distribution to any part of the substation itself shall be    deemed not to be Distribution for the purposes of this sentence; or

(ii) the Transmission Substation is used in connection    with the generation of electricity.
