On November 21, 2014, Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC (“Sabal Trail”) submitted an application under Sections 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. ยงยง 717f(c), and Parts 157 and 284 of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 18 C.F.R.

Southern Company Services, Inc., serves as agent for Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, Gulf Power Company, Mississippi Power Company and Southern Power Company (collectively, “SCS”). Through the above-named public utility subsidiaries, SCS produces, transmits, distributes and sells electricity. Together the companies function as a single, vertically integrated public utility system, serving the electricity needs of more than 4.4 million retail customers in the Southeastern states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi, as well as wholesale customers throughout the Southeast and elsewhere. The respective public utility subsidiaries of SCS presently own and operate more than 42,000 MW of electric generation capacity at various locations throughout the Southeast, a substantial portion of which is gas-fired.

Accordingly, SCS will be directly affected by the outcome of this proceeding. Other parties to this proceeding cannot adequately represent this interest, and the participation in this proceeding by SCS will not prejudice the rights of any party. SCS is an interested party within the Natural Gas Act and the Commission’s regulations, and its intervention in this proceeding will be in the public interest.
