[Docket No. ER97-4347-000]


Northeast Energy Services, Inc.; Notice of Issuance of Order

 November 12, 1997.
    Northeast Energy Services, Inc. (Northeast Energy) submitted for 
filing a rate schedule under which Northeast Energy will engage in 
wholesale electric power and energy transactions as a marketer. 
Northeast Energy also requested waiver of various Commission 
regulations. In particular, Northeast Energy requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Northeast 
Energy.
    On October 24, 19976, pursuant to delegated authority, the 
Director, Division of Rate Applications, Office of Electric Power 
Regulation, granted requests for blanket approval under Part 34, 
subject to the following:
    Within thirty days of the date of the order, any person desiring to 
be heard or to protest the blanket approval of issuances of securities 
or assumptions of liability by Northeast Energy should file a motion to 
intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 
and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.211 and 385.214).
    Absent a request for hearing within this period, Northeast Energy 
is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities 
as a guarantor, endorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any 
security of another person; provided that such issuance or assumption 
is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of the 
applicant, and compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably 
necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by 
continued approval of Northeast Energy's issuance of securities or 
assumptions of liability.
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is November 24, 1997. Copies
