  9. Wheatland Overview Interconnection Agreements • Interconnected to two 345 kV lines. The plant has an interconnect agreement with both Cinergy Services Inc. (“Cinergy”), and Indianapolis Power & Light (“IPL”). With the dual interconnect, the plant has the option of dispatching into the Cinergy or IPL systems • Both Cinergy and IPL allow scheduling of energy into and out of each control area, giving the Wheatland Plant the option of generating power or filling the scheduled energy delivery from the market when market economics warrant.
