(This article was originally published Monday) NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- New England consumer advocates Monday said federal energy regulators overstepped their jurisdiction in ordering the consolidation of the wholesale electricity markets and transmission systems in the northeast U.S.

The Federal Energy Commission in mid-July directed operators of the power grids in New York, New England and the Mid-Atlantic to merge, as part of a sweeping series of orders designed to put control of the country's transmission system in independent hands.

Federal law allows the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to require transmission systems to connect, but only at the request of a state regulators, according to a filing made by Maine law firm on behalf of consumer groups, nonprofit energy groups and the attorney general of Massachusetts.

"The Commission makes no claim in the New England Order that it is acting at the behest of a state commission or public utility, and is, therefore, without authority to mandate the involuntary combination of the Northeastern RTOs," the groups said in their filing, which asked FERC to reconsider its consolidation decision.

FERC should give the three Northeast grid operators a transition period to evolve into three regional transmission organization, or RTOs, with similar market designs, transmission tariffs and governance structures before requiring them to merge, the filing said.

The commission directed the operators of the wholesale power grid in New England, New York and the Mid-Atlantic to meet with utilities, generators, trade groups, state regulators and a FERC judge in Washington for 45 days beginning July 19 to outline plans for creating one transmission organization from Washington, D.C., to Maine. The regulators also directed Judge Peter Young to submit recommendation to them 10 days after the conclusion of the talks.

The commission ordered the consolidation of the Northeast power grid "at breakneck speed" without studying the technical feasibility of creating one RTO and without analyzing the costs and benefits of merging, the consumer groups said in their filing.

Young has directed meeting participants not to discuss the substance of the negotiations, but sources familiar with the talks said the group is outlining a business model describing how to structure a Northeast RTO without filling in the details. Participants have said, for example, that this regional market should have one transmission tariff and one interconnection standard, but haven't defined what that tariff and standard should be.

"Many people are very discouraged by the ongoing talks," said Anthony

India could continue to attract FDI inflows due to its strengths but the
government needs to address the investor concerns, Laudicina said.
The strengthens notwithstanding, India needs to have a clear road map if she
want to accelerate the pace on inflows of FDI.
Compared to $40 billion annual inflows to China and $30 billion into Brazil,
India gets just about $3.5-4 billion annually. Brazil has seen FDI inflows
increase from $2 billion in 1995 to $30 billion in 2000.
He also pointed out that India could face increased competition from China in
the coming years when the latter enters WTO. The need of the hour would be
for the government to go out and ensure that investors understand facts about
the country.

AMERICAS AES Transpower wants to be paid for the electricity that it has sold
in Orissa. Nothing strange about that. Thats how it is in any market.
But not in India. Here consumers and state electricity boards routinely
collude to gyp power generators of their dues. Till recently, Orissa was
brandished as a case study of successful power reforms.
It was one of the earliest states to attract private investment in power
generation, a pioneer in restructuring SEBs into generation, transmission and
distribution companies and one of the few states that had managed to get
private investors interested in retailing electricity. Not any longer.
A lot of that, it appears, was bunk. Today, the SEB apparently owes AES $45
million. AES wants the money to go into an escrow account where the SEB
cannot dip into it when it wants.
But escrow accounts and guarantees cant be permanent solutions to the power
crisis, which arises from three related causes political pricing of power
which charges different consumer classes different rates; the ensuing theft
of electricity from low priced connections; and state ownership of utilities,
whose employees collude with miscreants.
Its easy to get private investment in generation as long as the generating

 India could continue to attract FDI inflows due to its force but the
 politics needs to address the investor concern, Laudicina allege.

Ken Ackerman didn't sweat much when a blackout struck his Laguna Niguel ice

The walk-in freezer at ABC Ice House held 8 tons of ice. And for an hour, the

less than two hours.
"I think people are going to get used to one-hour blackouts and realize it's
not a problem,'' Ackerman said.
The blackouts actually were profitable for Ackerman.

Ken Ackerman didn't sweat_much when a blackout struck_his Laguna Niguel ice
business at_10:30 a.m._Tuesday.
The_walk-in freezer at ABC Ice House held 8 tons of ice._And for an hour, the
temperature_in there rose from_20 degrees_to_45 degrees.
But_very_little melted._
Ackerman said most refrigerators can handle blackouts_as long_as outages are
less than two_hours.
"I think people_are_going to get used to one-hour_blackouts and realize it's
not a_problem,'' Ackerman said.
The blackouts_actually_were_profitable for Ackerman.
An Irvine_laboratory struck by a power outage_bought 100 pounds_of dry ice to
preserve human tissue._
More_blackouts through the summer could be_a_boon for the ice business
