     LANSING, September 7.  The Michigan Public Service Commission
today granted Dynegy Energy Services, Inc. a license as an alternative electric
supplier to sell electric generation to Michigan retail customers.  The
Commission approved Dynegy's license under the Customer Choice and
Electricity Reliability Act of 2000.  Ten previous licenses have been approved
by the Commission under this act.  The Act allows the vast majority of retail
customers of electric utilities to choose an alternative supplier by January 1,
2002.

     The Commission found that Dynegy's application was in the public
interest and that competition for electric service can be advantageous for
Michigan citizens.  The Commission concluded that approval of the
alternative electric supplier license will expand the opportunities for
competition.  The Commission approved the license conditioned on
compliance with all applicable provisions of the act, and failure to comply
fully may result in revocation of the license or other penalties.  The
Commission also granted the license conditioned upon Dynegy providing
electric service within a reasonable time, indicating that failure to do so may
result in revocation of the license.
