No determination has been made that the submittal constitutes a complete filing. The facility is a topping-cycle cogeneration facility with a maximum net electric power production capacity of 117.8 MW. It is interconnected with Atlantic City Electric Company and sells electric capacity and energy on a merchant basis in PJM.

The Commission previously certified the facility as a qualifying cogeneration facility in docket No. QF87-407-000, Pedricktown Cogeneration Limited Partnership, 41 FERC ¶ 62,025 (1987) and recertified the facility as a qualifying cogeneration facility in Docket No. QF87-407-003, 50 FERC ¶ 62,069 (1990) and Docket No. QF87-407-004, 73 FERC ¶ 62,108 (1995).

Recertification is sought to reflect the proposed sale of half of the upstream ownership interests in the Facility and to report certain changes in operating mode resulting from recent contract restructuring.
