Notice of Technical Conference

November 20, 2008.
    Take notice that on January 13, 2009, the Commission will convene a

access to capital for normal business operations and credit practices 
in short-term markets, as well as the effect on long-term capital 
financing of infrastructure replacement and new project development. 
The technical conference is designed to provide the Commission and 
industry stakeholders with current information about the financial 
health of electric public utilities, the state of wholesale power 
markets, and the development of infrastructure.

Room at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street,
