Therefore, ERMU expects to continue to avail <br /> itself of the option, described at Original Sheet No. 2 of the Connexus Energy Revised <br /> Electric Rate Schedule FERC No. 1, to receive up to five percent of its greatest amount <br /> of measured demand in electric power and associated energy from another source or from <br /> Connexus under different terms. ERNIU plans to pay the changed rate as of January 1, <br /> 2003, and supports the request for a waiver.
