utilities and federal power marketing agencies pursuant to voluntary 
agreements and will be surplus to the system needs of the entities 
selling the power to CECU. The application also indicates that CECU is 
a power marketer authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(FERC) to sell energy, capacity, and specified ancillary services at
