To modify the retail access program under SC No. 8—Seller Services.

(KEDLI or the Company) to modify the retail access program under Service Classification No. 8 – Seller Service (SC No. 8) to phase-in the implementation of new transportation services for core customers.

In addition, the Company proposes to eliminate its bundled winter supply service, to increase the amount of pipeline transportation capacity released to the ESCOs, to restructure its retail access storage service, and to offer ESCOs a peaking service.
