Act of 1935)



This Certificate of Notification is filed by Conectiv, a Delaware corporation,
pursuant to Rule 24 (17 C.F.R. Section 250.24). Such filing is made in
connection with Conectiv's Form U-1 Application-Declaration, as amended (the
"Application-Declaration"), and authorized by the order of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") dated June 29, 2000 (the "Order") in the
above- referenced file. This certificate reports transactions for the period
from July 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001. Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein have the meaning ascribed in the Application-Declaration or the

         Generation, Inc. ("CDG") acquired certain generating assets (the "New
         Hay Road Facilities") from a nonassociate company. This transaction was
         the culmination of a "like-kind exchange" for tax purposes in which a
         subsidiary of Conectiv sold certain generation assets to a third party.
         The New Hay Road Facilities were acquired by CDG as utility assets as
         authorized by the Order.

The transaction described above was carried out in accordance with the terms and
conditions of, and for the purposes requested in, the Application-Declaration,
and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Order.
