FERC Money-Pool Conference Planned

LCG, Sep. 9, 2002--In keeping with a plan by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to set tighter controls on the cash flow between regulated and unregulated affiliates, the agency will hold a conference in two weeks with utility and other company input.

Some utilities are wary of such rules, as requiring an affiliate that borrows from a "money pool" managed by one part of a larger corporate entity to be rated investment-grade by a rating agency would not be immediately possible in many cases. Many affiliates currently do not receive any rating, as they do not raise their own financing. The Securities and Exchange Commission receives reports on a quarterly basis that detail transactions within a money pool, including the terms of any loans.

According to a pipeline industry group, a rating would require payments to a rating agency of at least $100,000 for the audit costs.
