NRG Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acting on         
behalf of Energy Center Kladno S.R.O. ("ECK") and Energy                        
Center Kladno Generating S.R.O. ("ECKG"), both of which are                     
limited liability companies organized under the laws of the                     
Czech Republic, hereby notifies the Commission, pursuant to                     
Section 33(a) of the Act and Rule 57 thereunder, that each of

27203 Kladno

Description of Facilities:                                                      

The jurisdictional facilities consist of electric           
generation and transmission assets, some of which are                           
currently existing and operational, while others are in devel-                  
opment or are planned for the future.  ECK currently owns an                    
existing 28 megawatt ("MW") coal-fired power station and an                     
associated steam distribution system in Kladno, Czech                           
Republic.  It is planned that this power station may be sold                    
or leased to ECKG in the near future. ECKG then intends to                      
construct additional facilities to increase the net electric                    
capacity of the facility to approximately 332 MW, by develop-                   
ing an additional 234 MW of coal-fired generation and an addi-                  
tional 70 MW of gas-fired combustion turbine generation.                        
There also will be two stub transmission lines connecting the                   
power station to two different substations, one of which is                     
approximately one kilometer from the power station, the other                   
a few kilometers from the power station.  In addition, the                      
Facilities may include another transmission line, connecting                    
the power station to a third substation in Prague, approxi-                     
mately 23 kilometers away.                                                      

Ownership                                                                       

There currently are expected to be four owners of           
ECK.  The four owners, and their currently anticipated respec-                  
tive ownership percentages, are as follows:                                     

.    Kladno Power No. 1 B.V., a Netherlands limited                   
liability company and an indirect, wholly-owned             
subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. is expected to hold          
an approximate 18.31% ownership interest in ECK.            

.    STE, a local distribution utility in the Prague                  
area, is expected to hold an approximate 22.5%              
ownership interest in ECK.                                  

.    Independent Power Kladno, a subsidiary of Advanced               
Combustion Technologies, a California independent           
power producer, and its affiliates are expected to          
hold an approximate 18.31% ownership interest in            
ECK.                                                        

There currently are expected to be three owners of          
ECKG.  The three owners, and their currently anticipated                        
respective ownership percentages, are as follows:                               

.    An indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG Energy,              
Inc. is expected to hold an approximate 35-50%              
ownership interest in ECKG.                                 

.    STE, described above, is expected to hold an approx-             
imate 10-20% ownership interest in ECKG.                    

.    Independent Power Kladno and its affiliates are ex-              
pected to hold an approximate 35-50% ownership              
interest in ECKG.                                           

ITEM 2                  

State the name of any domestic associate public-utility               
company and, if applicable, its holding company, and a                
description of the relationship between the foreign                   
utility company and such company, and the purchase price              
paid by any such domestic associate public-utility compa-             
ny for its interest in the foreign utility company.                   

As noted above, Kladno Power No. 1 B.V. is and an           
owner of ECKG will be indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of                    
NRG Energy, Inc.  NRG Energy, Inc. in turn is an indirect                       
wholly-owned subsidiary of Northern States Power Company                        
("NSP"), a public utility company incorporated in Minnesota                     
and a public utility holding company exempt from registration                   
by order under section 3(a)(2) of the Act.  Northern States                     
Power Company, a Wisconsin corporation ("NSPW") and a subsid-                   
iary of NSP, also is a public utility company.  Thus, both NSP                  
and NSPW are domestic public utility companies that are                         
associate companies of ECK and ECKG.  No portion of the                         
purchase price of ECK or of ECKG was paid directly by any                       
domestic public utility company.
