RG&E 2003 Electric and Gas Rate Proceeding
On November 19, 2003, RG&E, Staff of the New York State Public Service Commission and other parties reached a detailed, comprehensive Agreement in Principle on five-year electric and gas rate plans. Therefore, RG&E by letter dated November 20, 2003, requested a one-month extension of the statutory suspension period for its 2003 Electric and Gas Rate Proceeding to permit time for the preparation and execution of detailed electric and gas joint proposals to settle all issues in this proceeding.

Sale of Ginna Station
As previously announced, RG&E is engaged in an auction process to sell its 490 MW Ginna nuclear generating station in order to comply with New York State's policy that requires divestiture of electric generation. Binding bids for Ginna station were received on November 13, 2003. RG&E is now evaluating the bids received and expects to announce a purchaser in early December 2003.
