Both facilities are located in the Southeastern Electric Reliability Council region and are interconnected to the Tennessee Valley Authority transmission system.

The completion of the acquisition is subject to, among other things, receipt of approval of theFederal Energy Regulatory Commission and expiration of the waiting period under theHart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Cinergy said it expects that regulatoryapprovals would be obtained and the transaction will close in the spring of next year.
