                       NOTICE OF TECHNICAL CONFERENCE

                                   (September 17, 2004)

       Take notice that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will host a technical
conference on Wednesday, October 13, 2004, to discuss infrastructure issues for the State
of Connecticut and the surrounding region. The workshop will be held in Room 2C of the
Legislative Office Building, 300 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut. The workshop is
scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. and end at approximately 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time). The
Commissioners will attend and participate.

        The goal of the technical conference is to provide a public forum for discussion of
issues affecting energy infrastructure in and around Connecticut. The conference will
explore proposals for new electric transmission, their impact on electric reliability for the
region, implications for connectivity with the entire New England grid and its relation to
neighboring regions, the costs of the proposals and possible allocation of those costs. The
Commission is in the process of contacting key policy leaders in Connecticut and the
larger region. An agenda is forthcoming.

      The conference is open for the public to attend, and registration is not required;
however, in-person attendees are asked to register for the conference on-line by close of
business on Monday, October 11, 2004 at http://www.ferc.gov/whats-
new/registration/infra-1013-form.asp .

       Transcripts of the conference will be immediately available from Ace Reporting
Company (202-347-3700 or 1-800-336-6646) for a fee. They will be available for the
public on the Commission's eLibrary system seven calendar days after FERC receives the
transcript. Additionally, Capitol Connection offers the opportunity for remote listening
of the conference via Real Audio or a Phone Bridge Connection for a fee. Persons
