same or a reduced level under this Tariff at the time when the existing contract
terminates during or after the Transition Period. This transmission reservation
priority is independent of whether the existing customer continues to purchase
capacity and energy from its existing supplier or elects to purchase capacity and
energy from another supplier. If, at the end of the contract term, the NEPOOL
Transmission System cannot accommodate all of the requests for transmission
service, the existing firm service customer must agree to accept a contract term at
least equal to a competing request by any new Eligible Customer and to pay the
currentjust and reasonable rate, filed with the Commission, for such service. This
transmission reservation priority for existing firm service customers is an ongoing
right that may be exercised as to any firm contract with a term of one year or
longer by filing an Application in accordance with this Tariff at least sixty days in
advance of the first day of the calendar month in which the existing contract tenn
is to terminate.
