File No. 70-9577                                              NOTIFICATION

Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 ("PUHCA" or "Act")

         Cinergy Corp., a Delaware  corporation  and registered  holding company
("Cinergy"),  hereby  submits the following  pursuant to rule 24 under the PUHCA
and the Commission's  order dated June 23, 2000 in the above docket,  HCAR 27190
(the "June 2000 Order").  This certificate  reports activity in File No. 70-9577
for the calendar  quarter ended  December 31, 2000. Any  capitalized  terms used
herein but not defined  herein have the  respective  meanings  given in the June
2000 Order.

1.   As determined  pursuant to the June 2000 Order, the EWG/FUCO Projects Limit
     is  approximately   $1,731.0  million.  At  December  31,  2000,  Cinergy's
     "aggregate  investment" (as used in rule 53(a) under PUHCA) in all EWG/FUCO
     Projects covered by the EWG/FUCO Projects Limits was approximately $1,371.2
     million,  and  accordingly,  at  December  31,  2000,  Cinergy's  remaining
     investment  capacity under the EWG/FUCO  Projects  Limit was  approximately
     $359.8  million.  At December 31, 2000,  Cinergy's  "consolidated  retained
     earnings"  (as  used in rule  53(a)  under  the  PUHCA)  was  approximately
     $1,151.2 million.

2.   At December 31, 2000,  consolidated debt,  cumulative  preferred stock, and
     common equity comprised approximately 58.7%, 0.9% and 40.4%,  respectively,
     of   Cinergy's   consolidated   capitalization.    (For   these   purposes,
     "consolidated debt" means all long-term debt, long-term debt due within one
     year,  notes  payable  and  other  short-term  obligations,  including  any
     short-term debt and non-recourse debt of EWG/FUCO  Projects,  to the extent
     normally consolidated under applicable financial reporting rules.)

3.   At December 31, 2000, Cinergy's market-to-book ratio was 200%.

4.   The June 2000 Order granted no investment authority under the Restructuring
     Limit. Accordingly, the reporting requirements with respect thereto imposed
     under the June 2000 Order are inapplicable.

5.   For the quarter ended December 31, 2000, Cinergy issued no common stock and
     had a net increase of  $118,883,000  in notes payable and other  short-term
     obligations;  Cinergy issued no new long term debt securities.  At December
     31, 2000, Cinergy's total  capitalization  (excluding retained earnings and
     accumulated other comprehensive  income) was approximately $2.46 billion, a
     net  increase  of $460  million  over  Cinergy's  total  capitalization  at
     December 31, 1999, the benchmark used in the June 2000 Order,  in which the
     Commission  authorized  Cinergy to  increase  its total  capitalization  by
     $5,000,000,000.  Guarantees  issued by Cinergy and  outstanding at December
     31,  2000  totaled  $1.4  billion,   leaving  remaining  Cinergy  guarantee
     authority  under the June 2000 Order of $600  million.  Cinergy has met the
     applicable terms and conditions as specified in Section II of the June 2000
     Order.

6.   Pursuant  to a request  for  confidential  treatment  under rule  104(b) of
     PUHCA, Cinergy is concurrently filing in paper format as Exhibit A, certain
     information  concerning new  investments for the quarter ended December 31,
     2000,  aggregate  investment  by  EWG/FUCO  Project,   growth  in  retained
     earnings, net income and revenues of Cinergy's EWG/FUCO Projects.
