		ORDER GRANTING TARIFF MODIFICATIONS ON LESS THAN STATUTORY NOTICE
BACKGROUND
          
 On December 10, 1999, Puget Sound Energy, Inc. (PSE) filed a proposed revision 
to Schedule 91, Sheet No. 91, Cogeneration and Small Power Production 
reflecting changes to quarterly purchase prices and the monthly basic charge.

 The filed Revised Sheets denote an effective date of January 1, 2000.  PSE 
requests that statutory notice be waived and the Commission issue an order 
approving the revised schedule to become effective on this date, as there are 
customers who will benefit from these changes.

 Because of the positive impact this tariff revision will have on cogenerators 
and small power producers if it becomes effective the first day of the year 
2000, PSE’s request for a waiver of statutory notice is not inconsistent with 
the public interest.  Therefore the Commission shall grant the requested waiver 
and allow the tariff revisions to become effective on January 1, 2000.

FINDINGS OF FACT

 1. PSE is engaged in the business of furnishing electric and gas service 
within the state of Washington as a public service company, and is subject to 
the jurisdiction of the Commission.
 2. After reviewing PSE’s December 10, 1999 filing, and giving consideration to 
all relevant matters and for good cause shown, the Commission finds that the 
Company’s Schedule 91 revisions are in the public interest and should become 
effective January 1, 2000.

ORDER

 THE COMMISSION ORDERS that Puget Sound Energy’s December 10, 1999 requested 
waiver of statutory notice regarding Schedule 91 revisions is granted and such 
revisions shall become effective on January 1, 2000.

    Dated at Olympia, Washington and effective this 29th day of December 1999.
