April 18, 2008 Mrs. Susan M. Hudson, Clerk Vermont Public Service Board 112 State Street Montpelier, Vermont 05602 Re: DPS Comments on Costs related to Contract Administrators Forward Capacity Work Dear Mrs. Hudson: On April 8, 2008, the Public Service Board requested comments regarding the allocation of costs of work performed by the EEU Contract Administrator in relation to the Forward Capacity Market. The Department of Public service feels that these costs, and costs of future work performed by the Contract Administrator in relation to the Forward Capacity Market, should be paid through revenues associated with participation in the Forward Capacity Market. Thank you for the opportunity to comment, Sincerely, Walter (TJ) Poor Energy Programs Manager Vermont Department of Public Service
