10.      You disclose revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense (   RNF
 ) on
         a consolidated and segment basis. Your current disclosure of RNF on a
consolidated basis
         outside of the segment footnote is a non-GAAP measure. Given that this
measure reduces
         your reported revenue by a non-revenue line item, explain to us your
basis for presenting

you considered the
         use of a different caption and the presentation of a reconciliation
for this non-
         GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, i.e. gross
margin that
         includes depreciation, depletion and amortization. See Item
10(e)(1)(i)(B) of
         Regulation S-K.
11.      Please discuss and analyze the operating revenues and purchased power

         line items on a consolidated basis in your results of operations.

         refer to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K.

Changes in working
         capital and other noncurrent assets and liabilities decreased by
