SECTION: Domestic, non-Washington, general news item LENGTH: 365 words HEADLINE: ?Calif. Sees $4B Less in Power Refunds BYLINE: KAREN GAUDETTE DATELINE: SAN FRANCISCO BODY: ???California will receive refunds for overpriced electricity, but not as much as it had asked for. ??A closer reading of last week's order from federal energy regulators shows the amount the state will receive could be slashed to just under $4 billion less than half what the state requested. ??Gov. Gray Davis plans to appeal the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission decision Monday, state officials said. Refunds could help prevent the state from raising electric rates to cover its power buying costs, which are now beyond $8 billion. ??''We found a number of disturbing things that lead us to believe FERC may not be so pro-refund as they want Californians to believe,'' said Nancy McFadden, an adviser to Davis. ??For months, Davis and other state officials have asked the commission to rule electricity prices charged since May 2000 to be unjust and unreasonable prices which climbed 10 times higher than past years. ??The state stands to lose a portion of the billions it has spent buying electricity for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. customers and two other financially ailing utilities. Power companies maintain they did not work together to drive up power prices to unreasonable levels. ??The commission's 40-page decision confirms it will only order refunds for power bought since October 2000, rather than May 2000. That means $2 billion less than the state, utilities and others could hope to receive, McFadden said. ??In addition, the commission also said it will not issue refunds for power the state Department of Water Resources bought directly from power companies. FERC only will recognize purchases through the state's now-defunct power market or from the manager of the state's power grid. ??That stripped another $3 billion off the potential refund amount, reducing the refund by a total of $5 billion. State officials had hoped to receive up to $9 billion in refunds. ??A call to FERC for comment was not immediately returned Sunday. ??The commission has ordered an evidentiary hearing, to be completed within 60 days, to determine the size of the refund from providers of wholesale power. ??___ ??On the Net: ??http://www.ferc.gov ??http://www.water.ca.gov LOAD-DATE: July 30, 2001 ??????????????????????????????3 of 77 DOCUMENTS ???????????????????????Copyright 2001 Elsevier Science ????????????????????????????THE ELECTRICITY DAILY ????????????????????????????July 30, 2001, Monday SECTION: Vol. 17, No. 20 LENGTH: 350 words HEADLINE: NERC Alters Reliability Bill, Puts FERC In BODY: ??Apparently spooked by Congress, the North American Electric Reliability Council has modified its proposed reliability legislation to increase the authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission over the proposed new reliability agency. This is in contrast to NERC's earlier legislative proposal, set to be marked up in the Senate, which would make the new North American Electric Reliability Organization virtually autonomous. ??NERC had engineered an industry consensus to move the organization from voluntary to self-regulatory. Sources say that the new proposal is a direct result of growing uneasiness on Capitol Hill with deregulating the industry in the wake of the California crisis, especially in the newly Democratic Senate. ??Section 11(b) of NERC's new draft says FERC "shall have jurisdiction over the Electric Reliability Organization, all affiliated regional reliability entities, all system operators, and all users of the bulk-power system, for purposes of approving and enforcing compliance." NERC is reportedly hoping its language will mitigate an effort by the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to cut NERC out of a self-regulatory role altogether. According to a white paper developed by the new chairman, Sen. Jeff Bingaman(D-N.M.), "legislation should authorize a system for assuring the reliability of the grid that is mandatory, that requires sanctions and penalties for failure to comply with the rules that institutions for that purpose develop, and that is subject to federal oversight." ??Opponents of self-regulation, such as the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection, say NERC/NAERO should not be granted this control, but that FERC should regulate reliability through the regional transmission organizations that are currently being mediated. According to a PJM position paper, "FERC's authority should not be limited or impaired in any way, including its exclusive authority to determine rates, terms, and conditions of transmission services subject to its jurisdiction."

BYLINE: DAVAN MAHARAJ, TIMES STAFF WRITER BODY: ??While the state's two largest utilities, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Southern California Edison Co., are struggling for survival, the parent of San Diego Gas & Electric Co. is racking up record profit from the state's energy crisis, thanks in part to a subsidiary that buys and sells energy on the wholesale market. ??In the last 18 months, Sempra Energy's trading subsidiary has raked in $310 million in profit. That's $120 million more than the sum Sempra paid for the trading outfit 3 1/2 years ago. And analysts expect profit to climb higher as the trading arm continues to take advantage of volatile energy markets in California and across the United States. ??The trading activities of San Diego-based Sempra are drawing increasing scrutiny from regulators and consumer watchdogs who question why the state is doling out attractive energy contracts to a company that already is flush with cash. Records recently revealed that a Sempra power generator sold all its capacity at attractive prices over an extended period to the California Department of Water Resources, which has been procuring power for the state's largest utilities. ??"Sempra has become like the multimillionaire that refuses to tip," said Michael Shames, executive director of the Utility Consumers' Action Network in San Diego. "There seems to be a fundamental violation of the principle of fairness whereby Sempra's trading arm is hugely profitable at the expense of consumers." ??Sempra insists its trading business is a worldwide operation that deals in not just electricity but oil, gas and other commodities. Only a small portion of the trading unit's profit comes from California and the Western region, said company spokesman Doug Kline. ??State records revealed this month that Sempra Energy Trading--and several other wholesale electricity merchants--charged California some of the highest prices for electricity during the first three months of the year. Sempra officials say they were only procuring power for the state when supplies were critically low, but critics want Sempra to refund the alleged overcharges. ??Separately, Sempra is battling lawsuits that it conspired with several gas and pipeline companies to eliminate competition, drive up natural gas prices and discourage the construction of electricity generating plants in California. ??Sempra's activities have come under scrutiny because critics say its trading subsidiary was influential in driving wholesale electricity prices to levels that helped ignite California's energy crisis. These high prices helped saddle its own SDG&E, PG&E and Edison with billions of dollars in debt. ??PG&E and Edison also have energy-trading businesses, though they are not as lucrative as Sempra's. ??California's 1996 deregulation law created a competitive marketplace where more than 100 energy traders now buy and sell electricity. Energy traders serve as middlemen, buying power from generators and reselling them to utilities and commercial power users. Some middlemen are connected to firms that own power plants, but others are speculators, such as Morgan Stanley Capital Group. ??Traders may buy a block of electricity a day, month or year ahead of time and resell it to another broker, a city or a utility. In California's energy crisis, a single electron might be traded a dozen times before it reaches a ratepayer's home. ??Sempra acquired a trading unit when it bought American International Group Inc. for $190 million in 1997. Sempra Energy Trading earned $13 million in 1998 and $19 million the next year. ??As the energy crisis exploded, Sempra Energy Trading's profit soared to $155 million in 2000. For the first two quarters of this year, the trading unit has accounted for $155 million in profit. ??Critics say Sempra can maximize profit for its trading arm--and various other business units--by knowing the direction of the market. ??For example, if executives in Sempra's trading arm know that its sister subsidiary, Southern California Gas Co., is planning to buy large supplies of gas for storage, they could structure their trades to take advantage of anticipated higher prices, consumer watchdog groups say. ??"What you have is a back-room, cottage industry for information whereby affiliates and generators of the same holding company secretly trade in a market that they have been able to manipulate to exact exorbitant profits at the expense of those customers who don't have access to that information," Shames said. "It's classic insider trading for which people like Michael Milken served time in jail, and yet these holding companies get to build palaces." ??Sempra and its subsidiaries have denied allegations of insider trading and insist that all of the company's activities have been legal. Strict Public Utilities Commission rules prohibit Sempra from sharing information among its business units, said Chairman and Chief Executive Stephen L. Baum. ??Baum, however, acknowledged that it isn't "particularly healthy" for Sempra's trading arm to sell electricity in the California market, where purchases by the state are eventually billed to SDG&E ratepayers. ??"I don't like being embarrassed to announce earnings in some of my business units of Sempra because people are suffering in San Diego in the electricity crisis," Baum said. "That's not a healthy corporate situation." ??Baum has hinted that the parent company might decide to spin off Sempra Energy Trading or other business units to create shareholder value and avoid perceived conflicts of interest. ??For now, the parent company is contesting allegations that Sempra's business units are cashing in on insider knowledge. ??In a recent filing with the state Public Utilities Commission, a group of primarily municipal generators detailed how the Gas Co. may have acted to drive up the price of gas for customers so it could rake in additional profit. ??In mid-2000, the gas utility paid $16.5 million for option contracts that entitled it to buy gas at the end of the year. The contracts gave the Gas Co. an incentive to buy "abnormally high" volumes of gas at the California border during the winter months, said Norman Pedersen, an attorney for the Southern California Generation Coalition. ??High border purchases by the Gas Co. drove up border prices, Pedersen said, allowing the utility to take in $70 million from the deal. ??The Gas Co. has vigorously denied that the $70-million gain was related to California border transactions. ??"Customers were not only protected by, but directly benefited from [our] . . . options programs," the utility's lawyers said in a response filed with the PUC. ??Under a state incentive program that rewards utilities for keeping costs down, the Gas Co. is required to split savings--such as the $70 million--50-50 with ratepayers whenever the company's gas costs fall slightly below market levels. Because the Gas Co. has consistently beaten the market, those savings have multiplied nearly tenfold during the state's power crisis. ??Pedersen's clients, which include the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, want the PUC to reconsider the incentive program, saying that it "may have contributed to recently disproportionately high border prices" and higher gas costs. ??Last month, the Gas Co. told the PUC it would accept only $30 million of the $106 million it was due under the state incentive program. In return the state must agree to continue the incentive program, according to the Gas Co. proposal. ??Analysts who follow Sempra's stock, which is trading near its 52-week high, said Sempra is being unfairly targeted for being successful. ??Merrill Lynch energy analyst Donato Eassey said Sempra moved more quickly than PG&E and Edison to take advantage of the state's law that deregulated California's energy market and invested the proceeds in trading and other profitable operations. ??"There is nothing illegal about making profits," said Eassey, who recently upgraded Sempra's stock to "buy." "People in California need to pay the damn bill and shut up."

They say the recent construction of several new power plants in Texas will help the state avoid supply shortfalls that have plagued California. ??The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages the state's grid, gave the go-ahead for the pilot program last week. ??Deregulation allows customers to choose their power provider much like they select a long-distance telephone carrier. Under the Texas pilot program, up to 5 percent of electric customers can switch power companies. ??The pilot program is getting under way nearly two months after its first scheduled start date of June 1. Numerous delays were caused by computer problems. ??While the delays were unfortunate, "we think waiting until all the systems are ready will let us provide good customer service," said Eleanor Scott, spokeswoman for Austin-based Green Mountain Energy. ??On the Net: ??Electric Reliability Council of Texas: http://www.ercot.com LOAD-DATE: July 30, 2001 ??????????????????????????????8 of 77 DOCUMENTS ???????????????????The Associated Press State & Local Wire The materials in the AP file were compiled by The Associated Press. ?These materials may not be republished without the express written consent of The Associated Press. ???????????????????????July 30, 2001, Monday, BC cycle ?????????????????????????????2:39 AM Eastern Time SECTION: State and Regional LENGTH: 471 words HEADLINE: Federal order limits potential state refunds by $3 billion BYLINE: By KAREN GAUDETTE, Associated Press Writer DATELINE: SAN FRANCISCO BODY: ??California will receive refunds for overpriced electricity, but not as much as it had asked for. ??A closer reading of last week's order from federal energy regulators shows the amount the state will receive could be slashed to just under $4 billion - less than half of what the state requested. ??Gov.

But something completely unexpected is happening. ?The California energy crisis has fizzled. ?The power is back on. How it happened is the subject of our Weekend Journal. ??Unidentified Man: His plan includes 105 recommendations to help the energy crisis, and California heard 38 of them before the power went out. ??PELLEY: Just a few months ago, the rest of the country was laughing about the power woes of California, the nation's largest state and the fifth-largest economy in the world. ??Governor GRAY DAVIS (Democrat, California): There's no question that a lot of people thought we had very little chance to get through the summer without massive blackouts. ?I don't want to jinx ourselves; we still have some hot days ahead. But so far, so good. ??PELLEY: Better than good. ?California had only six days of rolling blackouts this year, and since summer began, no blackouts at all, despite predictions that hot weather would bring disaster. ??So what happened? ??Mr. RICHARD LAUCKHART (Henwood Energy Services): Fear got people to react. ??PELLEY: In January, Richard Lauckhart, a consultant with Henwood Energy Services, was forecasting 300 hours of blackouts this summer, but now... ??Mr. LAUCKHART: We see the crisis is pretty much behind us. ??PELLEY: Henwood found the lights stayed on for three key reasons. ?The drought in the Northwest, which had depleted reservoirs and sapped hydroelectric power in the West, ended. ?New power plants came online faster than anticipated, and Californians started seriously conserving energy. ??(Excerpt from commercial) ??PELLEY: Residents went from cutting their electricity use by just over 5 percent in January to 14 percent during peak hours in June, an energy saving of 2.5 million megawatts. ?But keeping the lights on has proved costly. ??Mr. PETER NAVARRO (Economist): This is an economic crisis. ?It's not an electricity crisis. ?It's not a blackout crisis. ??PELLEY: Economist Peter Navarro has tracked the effects of energy deregulation since it became law. ?He says while California escaped a disastrous summer, it was forced to buy power from out-of-state producers at inflated prices. ?It will be saddled with debt for at least a decade. ??Mr. NAVARRO: What we've had is power costs going up by 10 times. ?The amount of money is staggering; $50 billion, minimum, have been taken from this state through higher energy costs. ??PELLEY: Critics say part of that state debt comes from Governor Gray Davis' decision to enter California into long-term contracts with power producers. Davis says it was necessary to protect California from future price gouging and blackouts. ??Gov. DAVIS: The long-term contracts have shrunk the amount we have to buy every day and given us a sense of reliability. ?I would ask people to think of them in terms of an insurance policy. ??PELLEY: And Governor Davis, sometimes considered a possible presidential candidate, got a huge political hangover. ??Gov. DAVIS: And what are the lessons for other states? ?Don't even consider deregulating unless you have more power than you need. ?We didn't, and it's been a nightmare. ??PELLEY: Now the state of California is fighting to get $8.9 billion in alleged overcharges back from the power producers. ??We'll be back in just a moment. ??(Announcements) LOAD-DATE: July 30, 2001 ??????????????????????????????13 of 77 DOCUMENTS ??????????????Copyright 2001 Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News ???????????????????????Copyright 2001 Contra Costa Times ??????????????????????????????Contra Costa Times ????????????????????????????July 29, 2001, Sunday KR-ACC-NO: CC-BIZ-LISTING LENGTH: 1631 words HEADLINE: Contra Costa Times, Walnut Creek, Calif., Business Listing Column BODY: ??THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS or corporations filed fictitious-business-name statements in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

BYLINE: NANCY VOGEL, TIMES STAFF WRITER DATELINE: SACRAMENTO BODY: ??California's immediate electricity crisis seems to have passed. But like a hurricane that resculpts a tropical island, the crisis has radically altered how 27 million Californians get their electricity and what they pay for it. ??Not all the state's energy problems have disappeared; a siege of very hot weather, for example, could still bring shortages. But the degree of change in the short-term energy picture since the blackout days of early spring is hard to overstate. ??A megawatt-hour that once cost hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars now regularly sells for less than $80. ??There hasn't been a forced outage since May 8. ??Predictions that California would suffer 260 hours of blackouts this summer now seem ludicrous. ??The state government, which was spending an average of $65 million a day to buy power in May, now pays an average of less than $30 million a day. Basking in unexpectedly cool summer weather, the government has so much power on hand that on some days it has had to sell surplus electricity at a loss. ??That sudden shift, from crisis to calm, obscures an equally dramatic change in California's long-term approach to how electricity gets bought and sold. ??Just three years ago, the state had embarked on a broad deregulation scheme designed to put most decisions about electricity into the private marketplace. ??Now, the state government itself has become the biggest buyer of power in the West. ??The state's two largest utilities, already stripped by deregulation of much of their ability to generate electricity, are, at least temporarily, also out of the power-buying business. Financially wounded, maybe crippled, their role has been sharply curtailed, perhaps for years. ??Utility rates paid by millions of customers have been raised, and the state's utility watchdog, which used to control rates, is poised to yield much of its authority to an unlikely agency: the Department of Water Resources, whose principal job until January was running reservoirs and canals. ??And consumers seem almost certain to be saddled with billions of dollars in debt and contracts to buy power that practically guarantee high electricity rates for years to come. ??The two sets of changes, the short-term and the long, are interconnected. Both stem from the state's dramatic entry into the market seven months ago. ??On Jan. 17, blackouts darkened much of the state. Power plant owners refused to sell electricity to Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison, the state's two biggest utilities, which had been nearly drained of cash by eight months of soaring wholesale power prices while being prevented by the state from raising rates for consumers. ??Four private energy companies were warning that they would take the two utilities into Bankruptcy Court the next day if the state did not begin to pick up the bill for electricity. ??Faced with the options of rationing power, shocking California's economy with a tripling of electricity rates or opening the state's checkbook, a grim-faced Gov. Gray Davis signed an emergency decree to allow the Department of Water Resources to use its budget to buy electricity that would then be sold to consumers. ??That act, later broadened and formalized by the Legislature, opened the door for taxpayer money--$8 billion and counting--to be used to buy electricity. ??"It's our obligation to provide power to the homes and businesses that drive California," Davis said at the time. "I'm disappointed the utilities can't do it. We have no choice but to step in, and we will do it." ??The involvement of the state in buying power changed the political calculations involved in setting electricity rates. For months, the private utilities had complained that California's rates, which were frozen as part of the state's deregulation law, were lower than the cost of buying power. But raising rates to help the utilities was politically unpalatable; the Public Utilities Commission in January gave them just a fraction of what they sought by raising rates for PG&E and Edison residential customers by 9%. ??After the state began buying power, though, it was California's treasury that was at risk. Pressure built quickly for more rate hikes. In March, the PUC approved the largest increase in its history, boosting the rates of some customers by more than 40%. ??Those increases showed up in bills last month. The higher costs and conservation efforts have reduced demand. Cooler-than-expected weather lowered demand even more. Californians used 12% less electricity last month than in June 2000, after adjusting for weather and economic growth, according to the California Energy Commission. ??Seven months after the state began buying power, January's sense of urgency has dissipated. Buyer's remorse is setting in. Grumbling grows louder about how deeply the state has inserted itself into the electricity business. ??It was a "huge mistake" to let the Department of Water Resources become the buyer of most of the electricity used by California, said Bill Booth, an attorney for the California Large Energy Consumers Assn., a group of heavy industry manufacturers that pushed hard for deregulation in the early 1990s. ??"I would hope that the state as an entity chooses to get out of that role sooner rather than later," Booth said. "The state has shown zero capability of doing that well," he said, voicing a criticism also made by Republican lawmakers. ??Davis and his advisors argue that they had little choice but to jump in and buy power on behalf of the utilities. And they insist that their intervention has stabilized the market. ??Long-Term Contracts Called 'Insurance' ??After the state government began buying electricity, officials moved quickly to get the state out of the exorbitant spot market by locking up $43-billion worth of long-term power contracts, some lasting more than a decade. Lawmakers and consumer advocates are growing increasingly critical of those contracts, some of which are now more expensive than the falling prices in the spot market. ??But Davis administration officials insist that spot market prices are falling only because the state is now buying 40% of its power under contract, rather than bidding up prices by seeking all of its electricity in the market. ??"Insurance is insurance, and it costs a little bit, but it's a damned good thing to have," said S. David Freeman, the governor's top energy advisor and the former general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. ??"The people in this ballgame that will criticize long-term contracts will criticize anything with stability in it because God forbid that it may turn out to cost a tiny bit more than what the spot market is in the future," Freeman added. "That kind of thinking leads you to be in the spot market." ??The shift out of the spot market is not the only factor that has stabilized the situation, however, and some accuse the governor of taking undue credit. ??The change is "clearly explained by the fundamentals of supply, which has increased, and demand, which has decreased because people are conserving," said Gary Ackerman, executive director of the Western Power Trading Forum, a group of electricity sellers. ??The price of natural gas, the fuel used to run most of California's power plants, has fallen by half since early January. There is widespread disagreement about why--mirroring the argument over why gas prices spiked in the first place. ??When prices rose, electricity companies accused gas pipeline companies of gouging. The gas firms said power generators bid up the price knowing they could recoup the cost by selling expensive megawatts. ??Another factor in lowering wholesale electricity prices is that the state's overall power supplies are more abundant because many power plants that were shut down this spring are running again. ??At times last winter, more than 10,000 megawatts of capacity were offline. Recent plant shutdowns have totaled closer to 4,000 megawatts. Three new power plants have opened this summer, adding 1,415 megawatts to the state's capacity. ??Statewide demand for electricity has been peaking at a little more than 30,000 megawatts in recent days. ??Again, the reasons for the additional supply are disputed. Generating companies say their plants were shut down earlier this year for repairs and maintenance. ??State officials and consumer advocates have alleged that some of the plants were taken offline to manipulate prices. Today, with less power being bought on the spot market, there are fewer incentives for such manipulation. ??A federal wholesale electricity price cap that took effect in June also has also dampened prices, experts say. ??The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission imposed the cap, now at $92 per megawatt-hour, after resisting the pleas of California politicians for nearly a year. ??"They just did a complete 180," said Severin Borenstein, director of the University of California Energy Institute in Berkeley, "and if they had done it earlier, we would have saved a lot of money." ??The agency that manages most of the state's transmission grid has found that bids by power sellers dropped after June 21, when the price limit took effect. But assessing how much of the change resulted from the cap and how much from other factors "is difficult," said Anjali Sheffrin, director of market analysis at the California Independent System Operator. ??The changes in the market--and the debate between the administration and its critics--involve who pays for risk. ??Little Incentive for Firms to Trim Costs ??Before deregulation in 1998, California's electricity industry was designed above all to avoid the risk of shortages. Utilities built a cushion of supply, and regulators guaranteed that they could pass on the cost to their customers. ??Critics said that such regulation left the utilities with little incentive to trim costs, meaning that ratepayers paid higher bills. ??Deregulation was supposed to shift the risk of owning power generation to private companies and those who bought their stock. Proponents said consumers would benefit as private firms risked their own money to build power plants and competed with one another to sell electricity. ??But in practice, competition in California brought price spikes and supply shortages. ??"The reason why economists have preached that competition is better than regulation," said Ken Rose, executive director of the National Regulatory Research Institute at Ohio State University in Columbus, "is that the investor putting his own dollars on the line will be more careful with those dollars. The downside of that is if there's any ability of the suppliers to control prices, then they'll exploit that advantage, which is what you'd expect them to do. ??"You can't make risk go away," he said. ??Now Californians face a different risk: that a new, largely untested 96-person, $2-million-per-month bureaucracy designed to buy power could run amok. ??There's no easy way to disband the power-buying operation until the utilities get back on their feet financially. That could take years. In April, PG&E filed for bankruptcy to fend off creditors. Edison's finances have started to improve somewhat, but the company is still seeking help from the Legislature, where no rescue plan seems to be gaining momentum. ??In the meantime, the Department of Water Resources has little oversight as it goes about its newly assigned job of buying electricity. ??The Public Utilities Commission for 80 years has dictated the rates utilities could charge. But under new rules proposed earlier this month, the PUC will essentially become a rubber stamp, adjusting rates for customers of PG&E, Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric Co. to match whatever amount of money the Department of Water Resources says is needed. ??Even PUC officials say such a drastic loss of control is necessary to allow the state to sell $13.4 billion in bonds. Those bonds are designed to repay the state's taxpayers for past power costs. They will be backed by the money that customers pay PG&E, Edison and SDG&E each month. ??That is just one of the ways in which the drastic actions taken to prevent an energy meltdown have hemmed in policymakers trying to envision the future shape of the state's electricity industry. ??"There is certainly a lot less room for designing the future than many people would like," said state Sen. Debra Bowen (D-Marina del Rey). ??For example, competition--the dream of deregulators--appears dead for at least several years. ??That's because of the need to pay for the long-term contracts and reimburse the state's general fund for the billions already spent. ??The owners of steel mills, cement plants and grocery stores blanch at the cost of the contracts. They are chafing to break from the utilities and cut their own deals for electricity with private companies such as Enron Corp. Such one-on-one deals were banned by the Legislature when it put the state into the power-buying business. ??"Ultimately, we think our own companies buying power for themselves is the best solution," said Jack Stewart, president of the California Manufacturers and Technology Assn. ??But that move would again shift the risks inherent in the electricity business. Allowing big firms to walk away from the utilities would mean that someone else--renters, homeowners and small business owners--would have to bear the cost of maintaining a cushion of extra supply for the state. Many lawmakers are reluctant to allow that. ??"Any kind of meaningful competition in California has been postponed until 2004, 2005, at which time some of the long-term contracts start ending," said Michael Shames, executive director of the Utility Consumers' Action Network in San Diego. ??Ultimately, Davis said in an interview, "the long-term solution to this problem depends on having more power than we need." ??Generators base their prices "on how much power they know you do or do not have," Davis said. To protect consumers from being gouged, he said, the state's goal should be to always have at least 15% more power than it needs. ??Private companies will never take on the risk of building the last few power plants necessary to ensure a surplus, said Davis, so the state must. ??To that end, Davis backed a law that takes effect next month creating a Public Power Authority. The agency will be able to sell $5 billion in revenue bonds to build, buy and own power plants and to finance energy efficiency and conservation programs. ??Ironically, the governor said, this new agency, as the "builder of last resort," could clear the way for the competition that the state's deregulation plan so miserably failed to achieve. ??"We've never really had a chance to test deregulation in an ideal world, because we've never had more power than we need," the governor said. "My overriding goal is to keep the lights on and provide Californians with the power they need. . . . A byproduct of our efforts will be to put the state in a position where deregulation works." ??In the hybrid system Davis envisages, the state government will act like a giant public power agency and control nearly as much electricity as private companies. That role for California government would have been inconceivable just two years ago, said Ohio State University's Rose, who tracks the way each state regulates the electricity industry. ??"I don't know of any other state headed toward that," he said. "But no other state has had the crisis of California." ??* ??MORE INSIDE ??PG&E Bankruptcy: Legal and other fees in the case could amount to $470 million, one expert says.

A3; CAPITOL & CALIFORNIA LENGTH: 1205 words HEADLINE: She's the governor's right-hand man Tough, loyal, workaholic, Lynn Schenk advises him on every major decision. BYLINE: Emily Bazar Bee Capitol Bureau BODY: ??Despite her high-profile role as Gov. Gray Davis' top adviser, Lynn Schenk keeps a decidedly low profile. ??She shuns public attention and refuses to speak to reporters. But Schenk can often be seen whispering counsel into the governor's ear. ??The attorney and former congresswoman has become a powerful force in the Democratic governor's administration, winning the trust of a leader who trusts precious few. ??On every major policy decision, whether it involves health care or law enforcement, Davis elicits his chief of staff's opinion. When high-stakes phone calls need to be made, he entrusts her with the task. During last-minute negotiations, Davis sends Schenk to represent him at the table. ??"There are no limits on what he expects her to do and what he asks her to do," said Garry South, Davis' chief political adviser. "She is his eyes and ears and the funnel for him of things he needs to know, danger signs he needs to be aware of, problem areas that appear to be building somewhere." ??Described as demanding, meticulous, hard-working and fiercely loyal, Schenk mirrors many of Davis' traits. Both are considered moderate Democrats. Both are notoriously hard to work for and have a tendency to micromanage. ??Davis' political relationship with Schenk has evolved over 20 years, since they served together in former Gov. Jerry Brown's administration. Davis was Brown's chief of staff, the position he has awarded Schenk, and Schenk was first deputy secretary, then secretary of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. ??Though the two took divergent paths - she entered the business world and served one term in Congress while he began his incremental ascent to the governorship - they remained friends and political allies. ??After he was elected governor in 1998, Davis asked Schenk to assume the toughest job in his administration. With her appointment to the $131,400-a-year post, Schenk, 56, became the highest-ranking woman in the history of the state's gubernatorial administrations. ??Their similarities have led numerous colleagues and friends to call Schenk Davis' "alter ego," a designation with which the governor would probably agree. ??"I don't think there's anyone in my administration whose philosophical perspective is closer to mine than hers," Davis said of Schenk recently. ??As one of the few people Davis trusts, Schenk has moved beyond the duties of a traditional chief of staff. ??Howard Dickstein, a prominent tribal attorney, described Schenk as focused and tireless during the 1999 talks to negotiate compacts that regulate gambling on Indian lands. She sometimes scheduled meetings at midnight. ??Schenk also was heavily involved in talks last year over a bill by state Sen. Kevin Murray, D-Culver City, that would have required police officers to record the race and ethnicity of the people they stop in an effort to collect data on racial profiling. ??Though he wasn't completely satisfied with the watered-down bill, Murray said Schenk was responsive to his concerns and, above all, loyal to the governor. ??"You know when you're talking to her, you're not getting her opinion," he said. "You're getting the governor's opinion." ??Behind the scenes, however, Schenk's influence on policy is palpable, particularly when she feels strongly about an issue. ??According to Grantland Johnson, secretary of the Health and Human Services Agency, Schenk was the driving force behind the governor's "Aging with Dignity" initiative, which aimed to expand in-home and community-based care for the elderly. ??"She's very passionate," he said. "When she latches onto an issue, she's like a pit bull." ??The child of Hungarian immigrants, Schenk - who speaks fluent Hungarian - came from relatively humble beginnings. Her father, who survived a Nazi concentration camp, was a tailor, and her mother a manicurist. Schenk paid for her studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, by working as a telephone operator. ??A University of San Diego law school graduate, Schenk was soon working for San Diego Gas & Electric Co. as an attorney in the early 1970s. The investor-owned utility currently is embroiled in the state's energy crisis, which has dominated the administration's attention, and therefore her attention, for the entire year. ??Schenk became a player in San Diego's tight-knit business and political circles, and also emerged as an outspoken advocate for women's rights. She served as a director of a bank that catered to women, and also joined a group of women in the early 1970s that helped break the "men only" lunchtime rule at a respected San Diego restaurant. ??After her stint in the Brown administration, she was elected a San Diego port commissioner and in 1992 to the U.S. House of Representatives. She was defeated two years later by Republican Brian Bilbray. ??She ran an unsuccessful campaign for state attorney general in 1998 and served as an attorney for the international law firm Baker & McKenzie in San Diego. ??When she became the governor's chief of staff, Schenk established herself as a sharp thinker and a demanding workaholic. ??She has managed to stay focused despite personal upheaval, including her father's death last year and her husband's recent struggle with cancer. ??Her work ethic is renowned. "One night in 1993 or 1994, she was reading the federal budget with a cold can of soup," said her former congressional chief of staff, Laurie Black. ??Schenk isn't only tough on herself; she's tough on her employees. ??Known as an extraordinarily tough boss, Schenk has a low tolerance for error - a trait she shares with the governor - and burns through assistants quickly. ??A former Schenk staffer said Schenk isn't mean-spirited, but expects employees to anticipate her needs and live up to her expectations. ??"She was a perfectionist herself and she demanded perfection from everybody," the staffer said. "It was very hard for people to adjust to that." ??Many of her colleagues and friends expect Schenk to remain chief of staff at least through next year's gubernatorial election. ??After that, it's anyone's guess. Schenk, in characteristic style, refused to be interviewed by The Bee for this story. Davis' spokesman, Steve Maviglio, declined to authorize interviews with other members of the administration. ??"She really has a lot of the behavior of a good attorney," said former Senate President Pro Tem James Mills. "She isn't going to divulge anything that isn't advantageous to divulge." ??* * * ??Lynn Schenk ??Position: Chief of staff to Gov.

L5; OTHER VIEWS LENGTH: 890 words HEADLINE: Cocky operative needles Davis with secret funds BYLINE: Daniel Weintraub BODY: ??Scott Reed is one cocky guy. ??From his perch in Washington, D.C., throwing bombs into California's political landscape, Reed is trying to rattle Gov. Gray Davis. He thinks he's succeeding. ??Reed is the man behind the television commercials that have been running for the past month, challenging the governor's take on the energy crisis and trying to get voters to blame Davis for the problem. ??"They're working," Reed says of his creations. "They wouldn't be squealing like stuck pigs if they weren't." ??But it's not just the message in the ads that has Davis and his people upset. It's that Reed has found a way to air them while keeping secret the identity of the people putting up millions of dollars to buy the television time. ??Reed, a former executive director of the Republican National Committee and campaign manager for Sen. Robert Dole's 1996 presidential campaign, is head of something called the American Taxpayer Alliance - the official sponsor of the anti-Davis ads. The alliance is a tax-exempt organization that was formed years ago but was dormant until just before the Davis ads hit the air. ??If the ads are considered educational, the group is not a political committee and need not reveal its donors. But if the commercials are found to be urging the defeat of Davis when he runs for re-election next year, then Reed's group would have to disclose its backers under California law. Trying to pry those names loose, Davis has sued the alliance in San Francisco Superior Court. ??"These are political ads," says Garry South, the governor's top campaign adviser. "They are clearly designed not to influence the course of the public policy debate in California, but rather to inflict maximum damage on the governor for partisan political purposes." ??South thinks the ads are being financed by the private electricity generators that Davis has made the top target of his rhetoric. If that's true, and it's exposed to the public, it would not only undercut the message of the commercials, but also could probably be used against the generators to further diminish their standing in public opinion. Voters wouldn't be too happy to learn that the companies they think have been "gouging" them were using their electricity profits to rip the governor in television spots. ??But this is more than just a shouting match among political operatives. It's a constitutional question involving the right to free speech, and at what point the government can compel citizens to identify themselves or their political associates. ??The United States has a long history of anonymous political speech, dating back to the Revolution and the debate over the Constitution. Even today, some people prefer to not be identified when they criticize the government. And to some extent, they have that right. ??But as campaign disclosure laws evolved in the 20th century, the courts allowed a certain amount of regulation of political communication on the grounds that some limits and disclosure were justified to prevent corruption. ??Under federal and state law, independent committees such as Reed's American Taxpayer Alliance must disclose their donors only when they "expressly advocate" for or against a candidate in a particular election. Ads that comment on an officeholder's performance but do not urge action are protected by the First Amendment. Otherwise, we would be in the position of regulating the behavior of any person or group who wanted to criticize or applaud a government policy. ??Express advocacy is very narrowly defined. According to the state's Political Reform Act, it is communication that contains words such as "vote for," "elect," "vote against," "defeat" or "reject," or which, when taken as a whole, "unambiguously urges a particular result in an election." ??Here's the text of one of the ads slamming Davis: "He's pointing fingers and blaming others. Gray Davis says he's not responsible for California's energy problems. After all, the Public Utilities Commission blocked long-term cost-saving contracts for electricity. But who runs the PUC? The people Gray Davis appointed - Loretta Lynch and other Davis appointees who left us powerless. That's why newspapers say Davis ignored all the warning signals and turned a problem into a crisis. Grayouts from Gray Davis." ??These ads are clearly designed to damage Davis in advance of next year's re-election campaign. Even Reed admits that. "His numbers are in the tank," Reed crows, referring to the latest polls. ??But the scripts cleverly avoid using any of the code words that would automatically trigger disclosure. To be considered campaign ads, then, they must meet a federal court test of being "susceptible of no other reasonable interpretation but as an exhortation to vote for or against a specific candidate." ??That will be a tough case for Davis to make. With the general election still more than a year away, it's hard to argue that the text of these ads cannot be read to be simply criticizing the governor rather than urging his defeat, even if that is their ultimate goal. ??As much as curious voters would like to know who is really behind these commercials, a close reading of the law suggests we may never get the names. It's maddening, but true. ??* * * ??The Bee's Daniel Weintraub can be reached at (916) 321-1914 or at [email protected].

TAKE NOTE: THESE CALIFORNIANS ALMOST HAVE THE UTILITIES OWING THEM MONEY BYLINE: By Karen Brandon. Karen Brandon is a Tribune staff reporter. BODY: ??Nicole and Eric Jorgensen are missionaries in a land ripe with potential converts. ??Just as an energy apocalypse seems at hand, this husband-and-wife team is fervently preaching its gospel of conservation, and a growing number of penitent energy consumers are making a pilgrimage to the Jorgensens' unassuming tract house in San Jose, Calif. ??The 1,150-square-foot home is, in fact, a kind of miracle in a state still reeling from the fallout of deregulation and power-grid breakdown: utility bills that nearly dwarf mortgage payments and more blackouts that can hit willy-nilly as if this were a Third World country and not the birthplace of the Information Age. ??The couple's last utility bill was $11.95, including gas, and most of that was for standard meter fees. Their electricity is mostly solar- and wind-generated, and their electric meter actually spins backward. They are virtually immune to blackouts. When a power outage hit the neighborhood one day while Nicole was heating up lunch in the microwave, their only clue was the blank face of the digital clock on their electric stove, the lone device that doesn't run on homemade power. ??The Jorgensens' conservation ethos stems from a mixture of outrage over products they feel shouldn't use as much electricity as they do, penny-pinching habits developed while trying to accumulate a down payment in one of the nation's highest-priced real estate markets, and a certain spirit of gamesmanship that keeps them asking, "How low can we go?" ??Now they are trying to wean fellow Californians from their profligate energy consumption one bulb, one outlet and one appliance at a time. Their services are so much in demand that Eric quit his day job as a Stanford University physicist to work full time as an energy consultant. ??The heart of their message is that conservation need not be a synonym for sacrifice, nor even, as Vice President Dick Cheney famously remarked, "a sign of personal virtue." ??"What we advocate is that you can conserve in such a way that you won't even know you're conserving," says Eric. ??That would be difficult for most Americans, who have come to view their appliances as necessities and could not begin unplugging their daily lives without some feeling of sacrifice. But the couple's methods and mind-set-and less radical measures adopted by other Californians living at ground zero of the energy crisis for more than a year-can be instructive for Chicagoans who also face steadily rising energy costs and who have experienced enough substation fires and other sudden outages to doubt the reliability of Commonwealth Edison's power grid. ??Long accustomed to enduring one kind of crisis (drought, earthquakes, riots) or another (brush fires, mudslides, the O.J. Simpson trial), Californians have been slow to realize that their energy woes are not just another seasonal nuisance. But official pleas for conservation, persistently high electric bills and the prospect of prolonged power outages apparently are beginning to sink in. ??A recent Los Angeles Times poll found that energy is now considered the No. 1 problem in the state, dwarfing such traditional concerns as education and crime. And though the vast majority of Californians believe the electricity shortage has been artificially created by power companies' manipulating the market to boost profits, most residents told the pollsters that they are altering their daily routines- switching off lights more often, using less air conditioning-to save electricity. ??The shift in attitude is beginning to show up in a variety of ways, and electricity use was down by 12 percent-14 percent during peak times -from last June to this June, according to the California Energy Commission. ??One barometer of the changing mood here is the bottom line at Real Goods, a California company that includes energy-conserving gadgets and home solar systems in its inventory. Business has quadrupled from a year ago and the company has a backlog of 500 e-mail requests for solar equipment, said John Schaeffer, the company's founder and chief executive officer. ??In San Diego County, Shea Homes has become the first major home builder in the nation to build a suburb where solar power is a standard feature of the new houses. A recently opened subdivision of 300 homes, priced from the mid-$500,000s, features solar water heating and rooftop electricity panels that can generate 1,500 kilowatt hours a year, about a quarter of what the average home uses. ??Up the coast, the new Santa Rita County Jail has a third of its buildings covered with nearly 5,000 solar panels, said to be the largest such rooftop array in the Western Hemisphere. And in tony Carmel, former Mayor Clint Eastwood has solar power at his golf and country club. ??Elsewhere, businesses are installing battery-operated lights and skylights, altering work shifts to reduce power use during peak periods, and running computers on batteries during peak hours, according to the California Chamber of Commerce. ??In some areas, Californians are adopting the spirit of public cooperation and theatrical flair they brought to the most recent drought, when they installed low-flow toilets and shower heads, put bricks in their toilet tanks and even painted their unwatered grass green. Conservation tips in the current crisis include sealing ice cubes in plastic containers so frost-free freezers don't keep trying to defrost them and drying laundry on old-fashioned clotheslines--though this runs afoul of some apartment regulations and often bears the there-goes-the-neighborhood stigma attached to the sight of underwear drying outdoors. ??This being California, there are some less-conventional ideas floating around: Installing pressure-sensitive escalators that run only when someone stands on them; daytime-only baseball; no out-of-state guests. ??One San Francisco Chronicle online reader even offered this ultimate sacrifice for the cause: "I drink espresso rather than lattes because it saves the energy of having to steam the milk." ??Despite such inspired suggestions and the signs of changing attitudes toward conserving power, many Californians are finding old habits hard to break. For example, energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs get prime display space at hardware stores, but so do hot tubs. A state official announces that conservation has to become a way of life, and Disneyland decides to resurrect its famed Main Street Electrical Parade this summer after a five-year absence. The governor's mansion sets the thermostat at 78 degrees, while the state Capitol is cold enough for sweaters. ??Though progress is slow, the Jorgensens believe their less-is-more message is finding an increasingly receptive audience. The key to their success is not so much that they generate most of their own electricity, but that they use so little-about one-quarter to one-fifth what an average household uses. They manage to do this, they insist, without serious inconvenience. ??They do not swelter in the summer nor shiver in the winter. (OK. They don't confront Chicago weather, either.) They do not stumble around dimly lighted rooms. The soothing sound of falling water can be heard from a pump-equipped fountain in their back yard. ??"There's this automatic [negative] reaction when you say 'conserve' to anybody," Eric says. "They think about sitting in gas lines in the '70s for hours. They think about getting fined if they watered their lawns during the drought. They think about all kinds of horrible, unpleasant things, about altering habits and having major inconvenience. [But] there are so many ideas in this house that are so unbelievably logical and painless," Eric says. ??"It can actually enhance your style of living," Nicole chimes in. ??Their most shameless energy conservation ploy is the chocolate chip cookie, given to everyone who tours their home, that was baked in a solar oven on their patio. They bought that particular oven for about $250, but they have two homemade models constructed out of cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, a turkey roasting bag, old socks and shredded paper. Though one works better in lots of sun and another works better on overcast days, they all work perfectly well, the couple says, for cooking chicken, pot roast, bread, apple pie and whatever else an oven is good for. ??The Jorgensens' conservation crusade was launched when they bought a gadget called a Watts Up? meter to tell them exactly what an appliance uses. They were astonished at the money they were spending on power they didn't need or really want to use. "To me, it's just annoying when you have something that uses 1,000 watts and you could do the job just as well with something that uses less," Eric says. ??"This doesn't just tick us off, either," he adds. "It ticks off everybody we loan the meter to." ??Most people start out thinking they will just do a few things to save energy, but the Jorgensens believe that along the way they will become as incensed as they were over unnecessary energy costs and will begin to change the way they live. ??"They end up becoming fanatic like me," Eric says. "If you do everything I say, you're going to start getting really, really offended when you realize just how much power you have to pay for just so some manufacturer can save 2/1,000ths of a cent on what they're selling to you." ??These corporate cost-saving measures are the reason, the Jorgensens contend, that refrigerators aren't better insulated, that appliances often don't have off-on switches, that gadgets frivolously use power even when they are off. ??Gradually, the Jorgensons developed a three-step conservation strategy. Step 1 involves making cost-effective changes that make no difference in the way people live. Switching from incandescent to fluorescent light bulbs falls in this category. ??Step 2 consists of making changes in daily routines and spending more money. This could mean something as big as getting a more energy-efficient refrigerator or as small as regularly unplugging an electric toothbrush. ??Step 3 is installing solar energy. "That's when you start generating your own because you've conserved as much as you can," says Eric. Every dollar spent on conservation means $5 to $10 you don't need to spend on putting in a generating system. "What you want to do is make the system as small as you can get away with," he says, not only because of the cost but also because of the space required for scores of photovoltaic panels. ??The couple started off with ordinary conservation steps, such as putting insulation in every possible nook and cranny of the house, installing good insulating windows and turning off lights when they left a room. Then "conservation creep" set in. They started hanging their laundry on the line. They turned off the screen to the computer when it was downloading files. They covered the heating vent to a spare room they seldom use. ??They do not believe these measures, including the clothesline routine, are at all inconvenient, but they recognize that others might have a lower tolerance for such things, so they advise their clients to adopt a progression of energy-use changes, beginning with: ??LIGHT BULBS ??"You can't change a person's habits," Eric says, "but you can change their light bulbs." ??The Jorgensens replaced almost all of their light bulbs with compact fluorescents. They know what you're going to say: They're ugly, and the light isn't as good. But just shop around, Eric says. "Every one on the market is completely different. Some are good. Some are bad. Some are blue. Some are pink. Some flicker. Some don't work when they're cold." ??They recommend starting out by putting the bulbs in places where you don't much care about the quality of the light, a porch for example, and trying different brands and shapes until you find one you like. They prefer the bulbs that vaguely resemble the curlicue shape of a Dairy Queen cone top. "If they're in a fixture where you can't see the bulb, you can't tell" that they're not conventional lights, Nicole says. ??THERMOSTAT ??The Jorgensens installed a cheap ($20 to $40) programmable thermostat for the heater, which during the winter they program so it's cool at night when they don't mind, warmer when they get up, cool when they're gone during the day and warm again when they get home. San Jose's moderate summer climate lets them skip air conditioning. ??One man who came to the house said he was conserving heat by setting his thermostat at 62 degrees in the winter. "Isn't everybody freezing to death?" Eric asked. Well, yes, the man said, and his wife and children were always trying to turn up the heat when he wasn't around, and he was always resetting it. ??Running his heat this way was costing him more than it would if he used the programmable settings, the Jorgensens said. "You buy this [programmable thermostat]," Eric told him. "Everyone will be comfortable, and you'll be a hero and you won't be killed in your sleep by your relatives." ??REFRIGERATORS ??"A friend of mine was so proud of his refrigerator. It was like 60 years old and it was still working as good as the day he bought it because he had spent years keeping it going," Eric says. But, like other old refrigerators, it was using more energy than it was worth, in this case more than 6 kilowatt hours a day. "That's more than our whole house uses," Eric notes. ??If you must have a second refrigerator, he suggests getting a chest freezer and setting the thermostat so it doesn't freeze but just cools. "Freezers cost about one-third of what a new refrigerator does and they use about half the power," he says. "Chest freezers have insulation." ??The Jorgensens have a refrigerator that uses 1,350 watts per day, 20 percent less than when they bought it because they put about $5 worth of extra insulation on the back. The material he used, called Reflectix, looks like bubble wrap sandwiched by aluminum foil. ??"It really ticks me off that a $900 refrigerator couldn't put $5 worth of insulation in the thing so that it would use 20 percent less power," he says. ??WATER HEATER ??The Jorgensens are fans of tankless water heaters even though they cost about $500, roughly double the price of one that uses a tank. The tank heater, Eric notes, "sits there and always tries to keep the water hot just in case you want to use it. It's kind of like leaving your car running in the driveway just in case you ever want to go for a ride." By contrast, the tankless models fire up their gas jets only on demand, as water passes through on its way to the spigot. ??The California Energy Commission does not recommend the tankless heaters, saying they won't necessarily save much energy or money, and it cautions, "If you have a large family . . . and need to do laundry and wash dishes at the same time others shower, a tankless system probably won't meet your needs." ??The Jorgensens do not have children, so their tankless system has not been tested by the demands of a large family, but Nicole says their experience suggests it would make no difference. ??"You don't have to worry about doing five loads of laundry and then running out of hot water in the shower," she says, because the supply of hot water is not limited by the capacity of the water heater's tank. ??The Jorgensens estimate their old tank water heater cost $500 a year to run, the new tankless one about $200. ??PHANTOMS, VAMPIRES AND WALL WARTS ??Some appliances are said to "leak" energy; that is, they use electricity even when they're switched off. They include devices with a remote control or soft-touch keypad and appliances that don't have off-on switches. In a study two years ago, Berkeley Lab scientists concluded that consumers would save more than $1 billion a year if manufacturers applied proven technologies to reduce the "leaking" component of electricity use. ??Devices that leak, derisively called "vampires," drive the Jorgensens crazy. ??DustBusters? Evil, Eric says. ??Then there are what he calls "wall warts," the boxes that are part of the cord for small appliances and keep them warmed up with a small trickle of electricity even when they are nominally "off." ??To deal with these offenses, the Jorgensens are relentless shoppers. Under the suspicious gaze of salespeople at one store, the couple tore into the boxes of every model of answering machine to look at the cord boxes, which have the amount of power they use stamped on them. They found the answering machine that used the least "phantom electricity," but abandoned it in an instant when they later discovered a combination of fax and answering machine that used even less power. ??They plug their VCR and television into an outlet connected to an off-on switch, and they put other electrical devices on power strips they can shut off entirely. ??They also do not follow manufacturers' instructions on some electricity vampires. They have electric toothbrushes, which they do not leave plugged in, as recommended. They have found that if they plug them in for a day every two weeks, the brushes work fine. They know when the brushes need to be recharged, about every two weeks, because the motor slows down. ??"A lot of people can't handle that," Nicole concedes, referring to the prospect of having to regularly plug and unplug devices. "That's just too much inconvenience. It's a slight change in habit, not horribly painful, but it adds up." ??They use battery-run clocks because they consider electrical ones wasteful. They make an exception for the bedroom, because they have not yet found a battery-powered clock that glows in the dark. ??SOLAR POWER ??The Jorgensens have a small solar panel that cost about $100 and powers the back-yard fountain. Another solar panel powers the electric lawnmower. Another generates the electricity for a shed in the back yard. Yet another one runs an attic fan. ??Unlike traditional attic fans that people generally turn on when the house gets hot, this one begins turning slowly in the morning when light first hits the panel, and gradually turns faster as the sun gets brighter and the day gets hotter. Then it slows down as the light diminishes. As a result, heat never builds up in the attic, Eric says. ??The Jorgensens also are generating electricity from two large solar panels on the back roof of their house, and from two small windmills. They paid $13,008 for the system and received a state rebate of $5,275, which would be higher now because California recently upped the rebate to encourage conservation. ??They expect the investment will pay for itself in about 10 years. "We use so little [electricity] to begin with that it's going to take a long time to pay it off," he says. ??They could have generated more power if they had installed the panels on their front roof, but they thought it would have been unsightly and an affront to the neighbors. As it is, they generate more electricity than they use, which is why their electric meter revolves backwards. ??The only distinguishing features of their home visible from the street are the slender spires of the windmills, which seem to blend in with the television antennae that sprout from neighboring rooftops. ??However, the neighbors may soon have to contend with a solar panel-roofed carport that the Jorgensens contemplate building as shelter and power source for their electric car, a Bradley GT built from a kit, that they bought secondhand. ??Though the Jorgensens are finding a wider audience for their advice, they may face a tougher sell down the road. In a recent statewide Field Poll, Californians said they believed they could lower their energy use only another 4 percent without causing serious problems in their households. ??And an informal sampling of those who have heard the Jorgensens' pitch turns up mixed reviews. ??Lori Horn, a real estate appraiser in Burlingame, Calif., came to the Jorgensens' home as a non-conserver and left a convert, heading out to buy a bushel of compact fluorescent bulbs and a solar oven. ??"I was in awe over the things he had done, and all the easy things I could do," she says. ??Shannah McDaniel, an 11-year-old who lives across the street, built solar ovens for her 5th-grade science fair project. ??Next-door neighbors John and Pat Ellis, a retired defense industry manager and a school secretary, are considering solar panels for an attic fan and to charge the battery on their RV. ??They are not keen on the fluorescent bulbs, though, especially after a very powerful one Pat Ellis put in the laundry room conked out after about a month. "It was supposed to last 10 years," she says. She also isn't sure about their usefulness. "I don't know if it's an age difference or what, but I need more light. I don't like the light particularly. I don't like the ambience, the color of the light." ??Various other friends and relatives have been sold on the virtues of insulation and upgraded windows and solar battery rechargers, but the Jorgensens have found that you can't win over everyone. ??Though Eric's parents have heard his impassioned pleas on energy for years, and they have had a solar water heater for decades, they still refuse to part with their second refrigerator-a 1960s-era model stored in the garage. ??Talkin' 'bout my generators ??In a house in the redwoods, students push conservation to the limit ??In the kitchen stands the pedal-powered blender, in the living room is the pedal-powered television, and at various times all manner of appliances around this unusual 1930s-era bungalow have run on power generated by residents pumping away on stationary bicycles. ??The array of such "human energy converters" has included a pedal-powered laptop computer, a washing machine and, briefly, a can opener, which was taken out of commission when someone realized it was easier to use a hand-held version than to pedal away to run an electric model. ??This is the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology at Humboldt State University, among the redwoods of remote northern California in Arcata. CCAT (pronounced SEE-cat) is a fanciful monument to the pursuit of energy conservation and environmental correctness that knows few limits. (The bathroom features a composting toilet, and the published cookbook features tofu pot pie.) ??Each year, three university students live here and demonstrate the house's energy-saving measures to visitors. The bungalow uses about one-twentieth of the power consumed by the average U.S. household. ??Heat comes both from a wood-burning stove and from warm air from the greenhouse, which is attached to the south side of the dwelling. Windows are insulated by homemade thermal curtains of quilt batting and a Mylar vapor barrier. With the curtains drawn, the windows are about two-thirds as insulated as the walls, the students say. ??In a kitchen corner stands an old, unremarkable Kenmore gas oven, but Sean Dockery, an environmental science student, can go on at length about its virtues. ??"Either I use natural gas to boil my water or, if I had an electric stove, I would burn fossil fuel at a power plant in order to make steam to spin a turbine to spin a generator to create electricity to send down power lines to flow to the house to the stove to create heat very inefficiently," he says. ??The students do only part of their cooking on this old stovetop anyway. Once a dish is brought to a boil, they put it into the "hot box," a drawer lined with foam insulation and a wool Army blanket. "It takes about the same amount of time to cook" as on the stovetop, says Emilia Patrick, another outgoing co-director. "It's really good for stews and rice and beans." ??They also cook in the back yard on the parabolic cooker, a solar-powered contraption that looks like a large metal satellite dish. "You can make popcorn with it in a couple of minutes," says Lisa DiPietro, an incoming resident. ??The refrigerator is so super-insulated that most of the freezer space is taken up by insulation. But the students insist that don't need to keep much in the refrigerator because they use a "cold box," a cabinet with vents letting in cool air from the north side of the house. "In the wintertime, it definitely suffices," Patrick says. ??The house also is heavily insulated, and near the entryway is a cut-out panel that allows visitors to see what's behind the walls: blown-in cellulose made of recycled newspapers. ??The roof is a busy series of solar panels used to generate electricity, heat water and power the composting toilet. A wind turbine generates some electricity, though residents say it needs to be several feet higher to really catch the breezes. For those few times that their power needs exceed what the sun and wind can generate, there is a generator that runs on "biodiesel" fuel. That, Patrick explains, is basically filtered vegetable oil from nearby restaurants. ??Student Benjamin Terrell and two friends put biodiesel fuel to another test, driving a van dubbed the Grease Guzzler, running on recycled cooking grease and smelling of french fries and chicken, from Berkeley, Calif., to Costa Rica. ??In the spring CCAT newsletter, Terrell wrote of the experience, saying, "Sometimes I just yell to the sky, 'We are running on vegetable oil!' But it isn't always only veggie oil; sometimes we stuffed in hard-core animal fat as thick as cold pudding. I admit, there are moments we are truly going on the faith of experimentation." ??-- K.B.

BODY: ??Whenever the Los Angeles Lakers play in Sacramento, state Assemblyman Rod Wright calls around to lobbyists to try to get tickets. Often, Southern California Edison obliges. ??And the utility's generosity goes beyond basketball tickets. Since Wright's election in 1996, Edison has donated vans to his impoverished South Central Los Angeles district, given him tens of thousands in campaign contributions and underwritten trips to Europe and South Africa. ??Other than a campaign fund operated by the speaker of the state Assembly, Wright received more money from Edison in 2000 than any other member of the chamber, state campaign finance records show. ??With California locked in a power crisis that has resulted in rolling blackouts, Edison has courted many lawmakers as it tries to avoid bankruptcy. But none has written legislation as favorable to the company as Wright, Democratic chairman of the Energy Costs and Availability Committee. ??"Edison is getting a lot of bang for their buck" with Wright, said Doug Heller, consumer advocate for the Foundation for Taxpayers and Consumers Rights. "His single largest contributor is the one corporation that his most recent legislation would directly bail out." ??There is no suggestion that these contributions are illegal; all of them were duly reported by Wright and Edison. But Jim Knox, director of the government watchdog group California Common Cause, said such close ties cause people to worry the energy crisis is being resolved on the basis of campaign contributions. ??Wright makes no apologies, saying he will take money from anyone who can give it legally. But he refused to say whether he still takes energy contributions, which many elected officials have declined as too hot to handle since the energy crisis started. ??Brian Bennett, Edison vice president of external affairs, said it is standard for a committee chairman such as Wright to get larger contributions from a utility. ??Wright is "a bright, capable member of the Legislature who is interested in promoting sound public policy," Bennett said. ??So far, the state's second-largest investor-owned utility has avoided bankruptcy, while Pacific Gas and Electric, California's largest, has not. ??Wright has received overseas trips at the expense of the power industry-supported California Foundation on Environment and the Economy. The foundation spent a total of $20,000 taking Wright to Europe in 1999 and South Africa last year. ??During the South Africa trip, which included an Edison lobbyist, Wright spent $7,000 from his campaign treasury at two jewelers. His campaign reported the expenditures as "campaign paraphernalia." ??An Associated Press analysis shows Edison also gave Wright's campaign $22,000 last year and $5,000 to a political action committee he supports. ??All told, Edison gave more than $989,000 to California candidates and related campaigns for the 2000 election, state campaign finance records show. ??Although Edison officials say they no longer give campaign contributions, records show the utility spent more than $318,000 on lobbyists in the first three months of the year. ??The Democratic speaker of the Assembly, Bob Hertzberg, stopped taking electricity-related contributions at the start of the year and returned $34,500 he received late in 2000. ??Edison gave Gov. Gray Davis $15,000 during 2000, records show, while Assemblyman Fred Keeley, the Democrats' leading expert on energy policy, received $5,000. This year, Keeley said he stopped taking energy money. ??"Everyone has to establish their own policies, but for me it's not appropriate to be raising funds from folks who have an economic stake in a crisis that's beleaguering the state," Keeley said. ??Wright's contribution to the debate over Edison's future came this month with a bill he called a "straight bailout." Lawmakers and analysts considered it the most generous to Edison of four deals the Legislature is considering. ??Wright said he worked "fairly closely" with Edison on his bill, and also consulted with consumer groups. ??Now stalled in a committee, Wright's bill would have allowed Edison to sell bonds backed by customers' rates to cover all its debts, estimated to be $3.9 billion. Edison customers would repay the bonds over 10 to 15 years. ??By contrast, a Hertzberg-Keeley bill would have allowed Edison to sell bonds to cover only about $2.5 billion of its debts and would have required the utility to sell its transmission lines to the state and give up development rights on land near its hydroelectric plants. However, in the version of the bill now circulating in the Legislature, the sale of the transmission lines has been dropped. ??If members of the Senate and Assembly have to meet in a conference committee to settle the Edison matter, Wright will probably be involved. ??On the Net: ??Southern California Edison: www.sce.com LOAD-DATE: July 29, 2001

This morning I was notified by Confirms in Houston that one of the deal changes I made last night didn't come through on their side. If you refer to the Deal Correction Report from yesterday, Mike Swerzbin did a deal with EES for Cal'03 that he mistakenly entered twice, once for Cal'03 (571920) and once for Cal'02 (571801). He killed 571920 and kept 571801, but the trade was actually for Cal'03. (Is everyone still with me?) So I restored 571920 and killed 571801 to reverse what he had done. But in my rush just before your calc last night I neglected to look at the volumes of the deal I was restoring, which incidently had been zeroed out, thus leaving Mike with no value for either of the deals. I've reinstated the volumes in deal 571920 and added the error to today's deal correction report. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks, Kate

We should get a copy of the filing next week and will forward. Based on this, I will probably file a protest as well. ---------------------- Forwarded by Rebecca W Cantrell/HOU/ECT on 09/28/2000 10:05 AM --------------------------- "Randall Rich" <[email protected]> on 09/28/2000 09:53:29 AM To: <[email protected]> cc: Subject: Dominion Transmission, Inc., Upcoming TCRA Filing On September 22, 2000, Dominion Transmission, Inc. ("DTI") and its customers (and interested state commissions) continued to meet to discuss DTI's upcoming TCRA filing to be submitted to FERC on September 29, 2000. The customers had numerous questions for DTI about why its upcoming TCRA filing will result in such a large rate increase, and advised DTI that it needed to provide more information to the customers before they could make a meaningful response to DTI's settlement proposal made on September 15, 2000. DTI opened the meeting by defending its upcoming TCRA filing as prudent, in accordance with FERC's prior orders on its TCRA mechanism, and legally defensible. DTI then asked for responses to its settlement proposal made last week. The basic feedback was that the customers "were not there yet." The customers said they were still interested in discussing settlement (in an effort to reduce the impact of the upcoming TCRA filing), but they wanted more of an explanation from DTI of its proposed substantial rate increase. Much of the customer's questioning focused on DTI's "non-purchased" fuel supply (i.e., fuel gas DTI has borrowed from storage) and the continued growth in this element of its fuel supply mix over the past few years. As of June 30, 2000, DTI has borrowed approximately 23 Bcf from storage for fuel use. DTI also revealed that it had "liberated" approximately 13 Bcf of base storage gas over the last several years (i.e., reclassified base storage gas into working gas), and that this gas was "still on the system." DTI said it had a $0.31 per MMBtu basis in this gas and that it was hoping to save it for a future storage project. The liberated gas had not yet been reflected by DTI in its FERC reports or accounts. Arguably, this gas has been parked in space being paid for by the customers and the customers are paying DTI a return on this gas. During the bulk of the meeting the customers asked questions and DTI answered them. DTI volunteered little; most information had to be extracted from its representatives. The feeling of many of the customers was that DTI was not being forthright. At the conclusion of the meeting, the customers said they wanted to ask more questions and would present DTI with their questions in the near future. Only after they have a better sense of the facts would the customers seriously entertain settlement offers. Some customers expressed a desire for DTI to terminate its TCRA mechanism. The customers also said the TCRA problems need to be addressed permanently so that there is not a "TCRA crisis" every year. Accordingly, DTI will make its TCRA filing on September 29, 2000 seeking a cost increase of approximately $65 million. It appears that the customers will protest the filing and await FERC action on the filing and protests. In the meantime, another meeting to discuss these matters has been tentatively set for October 18, 2000 at 9:30 a.m. in Washington. The meeting may be cancelled if the parties do not believe it would be useful to help resolve the issues at that time. Please contact us if you have any questions about this matter.

Rumor is that the CPUC hearings will begin next week on the URG matters for PG&E and SCE. Our bankruptcy team needs to be kept in the loop on these matters on a daily basis (as much as possible) given the impact of this decision on the process. Can people attend a conference call on Monday pm or Tuesday am to discuss the key objectives for this case (from bankruptcy perspectives) and coverage (do we need to get outside counsel to sit in the hearings)? I'll ask Linda Noske to coordinate the phone call. Thanks, Jim

The power option premium pricing was done on 30 MW's, apparently a standard product amount. What is the effect on pricing, if any, for the actual 730 MW's? Or do we just take 24 of the 30 MW products? Have we priced the 60/40 split scenario where we can call on the plant 25% of the year (effectectively it is a 25 capacity factor), at our option as to when we call? We would assume that we'd exercise this in periods/months when prices are highest. For the scenario where the summer hourly power call on-peak is $85 and the off-peak summer power call is $25, I came up with a daily, summer-only, blended on and off-peak gas call of $7.64/MMBtu. Gas would be at index/floating in the winter. The premium for this summer gas call was $38,128/month. Bruce, does that seem within the right range? AES said they need 2 1/2 times more value than the $850,000/month they'd have recieved under our initial proposed power premum. Ben is running the model to give us a check as to their debt service and FOM costs. Ben, Bruce, what else do you have outstanding that needs to be run? Thanks, Michelle

Latest NFL Player News Jeff Garcia , QB SF - Martin Cuilla Updated 11/13/00 While completing 20 of 25 passes, Garcia threw for 244 yards with no interceptions, and ran for a pair of short touchdowns. In a fine performance against a talented Chiefs defense, Garcia showed a new dimension as a scrambling threat near the goal line. If defenses try to pressure him into making mistakes, Garcia can burn them with his legs in the red zone. Jamal Anderson , RB ATL - The Klap Updated 11/13/00 Reaching triple digits for the first time since the 1998 playoffs, Anderson ran for 119 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. Don't expect too many more outstanding performances from Anderson this year. He is still not running at full throttle and may not completely look like his old self until next season. Robert Smith , RB MIN - Eric Bass Updated 11/13/00 In addition to running 20 times for 111 yards, Smith caught four passes for 53 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown. The Minnesota RB seems to be hitting his stride just in time for the Fantasy playoffs. Keep him in your lineup every week. Antonio Freeman , WR GB - Baja Updated 11/13/00 On the heels of his big game against Minnesota, Freeman was held to 36 yards on four catches. Most secondaries will continue to frustrate Freeman, who simply lacks a solid No. 2 WR across from him. Defenses won't be surrendering the big play to Freeman in these final games, because he is the Packers' only legitimate deep threat. Charlie Batch , QB DET - Rocks Updated 11/12/00 In an uninspiring performance, Batch completed just 12 of 27 passes for 128 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. The Atlanta defense has been vulnerable all year long, and Batch's struggles against the Falcons prove he is not a reliable Fantasy QB for these final weeks, even as a backup. Charles Johnson , WR PHI - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 On four catches, Johnson gained just 18 yards. He was not an integral part of Philadelphia's 23-point day, a major outburst for such a sporadic and unproductive offense. Johnson shouldn't be in your starting lineup if you need key wins in these next few weeks. Emmitt Smith , RB DAL - Rocks Updated 11/12/00 In an unnaccountably poor performance, Smith ran for just 16 yards on 17 carries while losing a fumble. Such awful numbers against the defenseless Bengals raise major warning signs. Opponents will make Dallas beat them with the pass, and will be dedicated to smothering the run. Thomas Jones , RB ARI - The Klap Updated 11/12/00 The rookie back ran three times for just four yards while losing a fumble, and caught two passes for 18 yards. Despite a coaching change, the Cards have still not figured out how to properly utilize Jones, who needs more of a lateral, wide-open offense to succeed. Jon Kitna , QB SEA - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Rallying Seattle from a 14-point deficit, Kitna completed 22 of 33 passes, throwing for 231 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. It was eaily one of his best outings in recent memory, but Kitna seems destined to return to the bench once Brock Huard is healthy again. Don't expect another fine outing from Kitna anytime soon, because Huard is on the verge of being able to return. Steve McNair , QB TEN - Rocks Updated 11/12/00 In one of his better passing displays, McNair completed 21 of 34 passes for 228 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and also ran four times for 34 yards. If Eddie George continues to battle injuries, McNair may be asked to carry the Tennessee offense in the weeks ahead. Plaxico Burress , WR PIT - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 The rookie wideout caught just one pass for four yards. Burress has been extremely ineffective this year, and don't be surprised if his playing time is cut drastically very soon. Mark Brunell , QB JAC - Top Dogs Updated 11/12/00 Completing 24 of 33 passes, Brunell threw for 340 yards and one touchdown while running for a two-yard score himself. Good numbers against a bad Seattle pass defense. Brunell has looked better recently, but will still struggle against stronger opponents. Despite his good numbers, the Seahawks wer able to disrupt his timing on key downs. Akili Smith , QB CIN - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 The second-year passer completed just 10 of 25 passes for 63 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Those numbers look particularly awful when you consider Smith was facing the talent-starved Dallas defense. Trent Dilfer , QB BAL - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Despite throwing a potentially crushing interception that was returned for a fourth-quarter touchdown, Dilfer led the Ravens to victory again by completing 23 of 36 passes for 281 yards with the one interception and two touchdowns. A solid performance against Tennessee is enough proof that Dilfer should be a servicable backup in these final weeks. Leslie Shepherd , WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 The veteran wideout caught just two passes for 19 yards. Poor totals against a soft San Diego secondary is an obvious sign that Shepherd shouldn't be in any Fantasy lineup this late in the year. Antowain Smith , RB BUF - Baja Updated 11/12/00 Running 13 times, Smith picked up just 29 yards. With the running game sputtering, Smith is getting another chance from the Bills' braintrust, but it doesn't appear weeks of inactivity have improved his outlook any. Amani Toomer , WR NYG - McKay Neal Updated 11/12/00 Toomer suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Rams. He did not play in the second half. Ryan Leaf , QB SD - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Leaf left Sunday's game against Miami in the fourth quarter with an apparent ankle injury. He was replaced by Jim Harbaugh. Leaf had replaced an injured Moses Moreno earlier in the game. Trung Canidate , RB STL - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Reserve RB Trung Canidate left Sunday's game against the Giants in the third quarter after injuring his left wrist. Brett Favre , QB GB - The Klap Updated 11/12/00 Favre left Sunday's game at Tampa Bay in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle. He was replaced by Matt Hasselbeck and later taken to the locker room on a cart. Some published reports say Favre will miss one game, and maybe two. Dave Moore , TE TB - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Moore left Sunday's game against Green Bay. He suffered a concussion and Mike Alstott lined up at TE in his place until he returned in the third quarter. Reggie Jones , WR SD - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Jones left Sunday's game against Miami with an apparent knee injury. His injury came shortly after QB Moses Moreno had left the game as well. Moses Moreno , QB SD - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Moreno left Sunday's game against Miami with a strained left knee. He was replaced by Ryan Leaf. Jeff Wilkins , K STL - The Klap Updated 11/12/00 Wilkins left Sunday's game against the Giants after injuring his hamstring. Jeff Hall will handle the placekicking duties in his absence. Terrell Owens , WR SF - Martin Cuilla Updated 11/12/00 Owens is playing today against the Chiefs but did not start. J.J. Stokes started in his place opposite Jerry Rice. Derrick S. Alexander , WR KC - Martin Cuilla Updated 11/12/00 Alexander left Sunday's game at san Francisco in the first half with a concusiion. He returned in the third quarter. Obafemi Ayanbadejo , RB BAL - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Ayanbadejo re-injured his toe in Sunday's game against the Titans. Sam Gash replaced him at fullback. Thurman Thomas , RB MIA - Free Agent Updated 11/12/00 Thomas sprained his knee in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Chargers. He was carted to the locker room and will not return. Autry Denson replaced Thomas as the third-down back. Robert Holcombe , RB STL - Tori Kuykendall Updated 11/12/00 Holcombe did not play in Sunday's game against the Giants. RB James Hodgins started at fullback in his place. Ricky Williams , RB NO - Top Dogs Updated 11/12/00 After rushing for 93 yards, Williams left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a broken left ankle. He will be sidelined for six to eight weeks. There have also been reports of possible ligament damage. Chad Morton should be the featured back in his absence. New Orleans might also use Jerald Moore and there is speculation they might take a look at Ki-Jana Carter. More Updates View?Transactions?

Unfortunately, no. We have friends coming in town-Scott and Mandy from Dallas. We thought the 4 of us were going to be able to go to the game. However, Scott's hookup for tickets fell through. Therefore, we will be watching it at my house. It would probably be rude of me to go with you and leave them there. You should come over after the game. And, you are welcome to stay with us Saturday night. We need to catch up. We may go out on the boat Sunday if the weather is nice.

To ensure everyone is on the same page for maximum dispatch. 80,000 for Hopewell Dispatch: 10,000 nom'd on Secondary FTS TCO contract. Secondary nominated to reserve place in the queue 20,000 Hopewell Transport (idle right now, if TCO constrains, will need inground storage transfer with CGV) 7,000 Leach to Richmond Transport (pending release) 30,000 to 50,000 Dayton Transport (secondary transport, depends on available capacity from Dayton, and if TCO lets it flow) 67,000 to 87,000 Possible TCO transport. We should get an IT discount rate on TCO (CES had 1.5 to 3.5 discount rate last summer). We had to use IT several times last summer. 40,000 for Calp Dispatch: 40,000 Calp Transport May need Broadrun gas, if TCO contrains. John Hodge is talking to Brian Adams at TCO to have Leach as receipt point before July 7th. Like Joann says below, we will need a game plan and especially one for the weekends. Every Friday afternoon, we will meet with Robin/Dick to clarify TCO transport availabilty, TCO flow constraints, and supply sources to meet this maximum dispatch load.

It's worth going to this site just to "flip the switch" and see the redacted portions appear before your very eyes! -----Original Message----- From: Thome, Jennifer Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 10:31 AM To: Comnes, Alan; Sharma, Ban Cc: Steffes, James; Andrews, Jeff; Lassander, Richard; Yajnik, Neha; Johnson, Tamara Subject: DWR contracts on-line Ken Smith just called my attention to the following. See this link for all formerly censored language from the DWR contracts: http://www.sco.ca.gov/power_page/contract_info.htm Also, see the summary link. Finally, below is an interesting article about the real cost of the contracts. Connell: Power cost twice Davis' figure July 6, 2001 By JOHN HOWARD The Orange County Register SACRAMENTO -- The average cost of electricity purchased under $43 billion of worth of state contracts is actually more than double the amount reported by Gov. Gray Davis' administration, state Controller Kathleen Connell said Thursday. Connell said her staff's analysis put the per-megawatt average at $170, compared with $69 to $79 estimated by Davis. Connell stopped short of suggesting that the higher cost could drive another increase in rates, although consumer groups said the higher amount likely would require some future increase. The controller, who writes the state's checks, said her figures assume fixed prices for natural gas over the duration of the contracts, which range from a few months to 20 years. The administration, noting that nearly half its contracts are pegged to the fluctuating market price of natural gas, said costs on many of the contracts would decline over time. Consumer groups were skeptical of the administration's numbers. "You could cut these numbers in various ways and make different averages, long-range or short-range contracts, peak power or nonpeak, and probably either average could be defended mathematically," said Nettie Hoge of The Utility Reform Network. "We can't tell you whether it's $69 or $170 - the contracts are very convoluted and complex."

I just spoke with Krystal at Kern and John Stafford at Patina: Kern Legal will not finish reviewing until Monday. At that time they will approve, revise, or reject the changes to the Assignment Agreement. I reiterated that Enron is comfortable with the changes. John Stafford is comfortable with Gerald's Indemnity Letter Agreement (below), but would strongly prefer to have the indemnity language incorporated into the Assignment Agreement itself, if it is possible in a timely fashion. John indicated he would be willing to conference in with Gerald and Kern's attorney(s) first thing Monday morning if we felt it would be helpful. Bottom line: It looks like we can shut the door on this, one way or the other, on Monday morning.

I spoke with John Nimmons regarding the subject settlement discussions on Tuesday. He shared with me his view on several matters. 1. He's not sure what SCE is up to. He believes they will not move off of their position of DG ownership however convoluted it may be (basically they want to keep the "option open" of customer-side DG ownership). He also believes they most likely will not participate in further discussions. He has a call into SCE to see if he can come to some understanding on where they stand. (He also said they indicated they are most likely going to drop out of DPCA). 2. John believes PG&E was responding to the Commission's position regrading DG ownership as outined in the Cmmisson's rule that states the Commission has not found any compelling reason to prevent ownership of DG bu UDC's. He thinks they are not interested in customer-side DG as a business but only as an option to site mobile DG under emergency conditions. He also believes that this issue is not a showstopper for them and they would most likely give it up (DG ownership) if others such as DPCA and Enron would support a PBR that gave them the right incentives. 3. Next Monday's meeting will focus on the distribution only wheeling tariff issue (minutes of the last meeting and an agenda for Monday's meeting should be out today). He thinks this will be the most contentious issue of all based on his reading of the utilities' testimony. The utilities' postitions are that you can't separate distribution from transmission when dealing with the grid since their is much interdepence. I think we should continue to participate in these meetings. I'm planning on participating by phone. I don't expect SCE to participate but if we change PGE's ownership position we would have 2 of the 3 utilities with us which strengthens our position. It will also be interesting to see what the utilities have to say regarding distribution only tariffs. ANy thoughts?

Dear All, Yesterday, I mentioned to Vince the inhouse modelling capabilities and the impact weather and the weather forecast can have on some of Enron's operations and Risk Management positions. For this reason I have attached three files, two of those show to tropical cyclones off the coasts of Australia, i.e. Rachel and Drena. Tropical cyclones pose a significant risk, and an early warning system can be part of a better risk strategy. Please, note that the modelling system has been further improved since the simulation was done. Also, we can focus on another large problem and associated risk. Dust storms can pose a significant risk to a number of industries, and the prediction of such events has been very difficult, if not impossible. For this reason a GIS database has been developed and coupled to the NWP model, which allows prediction of such events in realtime. For the depicted event an estimated 6 million tonnes of top soil was lost, and with it $$. Maybe we can set up a conference call to discuss * the above mentioned points * further improvments in forecasting based on the high resolution forecasts * weather and climate on a global perspective for Enron * how to further improve the forecast for Enron Regards, Christian PS: I tried to sent of this e-mail last night, but their appears to be a limit of 10Mb, so I will send off the individual files....

Ken Lay spoke with several California CEOs this morning and urged them to get personally involved in pushing for a comprehensive set of reforms. Three expressed willingness to help. Scott McNealy (Sun): contact person - Piper Cole ([email protected]); [email protected]. Mcnealy wants, by close of business today, a "cheat sheet" of the talking points to use with politicians (the "8 or 10 elements of the solution") with the expected comeback he may hear from the political leaders and our response to that comeback. He says he hasn't spent time working on issues in Sacremento so we may also want to include a list of suggested contacts. Kevin Sharer (Amgen): contact person - Sarah Jensen, VP of Engineering and Operations (805.447.6785); [email protected]. Sharer wants the same information as McNealy and he and McNealy both indicated their willingness to call a meeting of other California CEOs. Sharer will also be having breakfast with Hertzberg one week from today. Robert Day (Trust Co of the West): said that he is very close to the mayor of Los Angeles. He urged Ken to call the mayor (mentioning Day). Ken would like some talking points for that call. Jeff - please put these items together.

Tom, Reading thourgh my mail and came to your newest note. Thanks again for the communication. Like I said in earlier note, things seem pretty normal. Stores without electricty, but open. No one seems to be hoarding. Indeed, except for lack of electricity I really wouldn't know anything happened, and I walked around for a couple hours, covering some ground. It was strange, but I had great trouble getting to sleep last night and probably only did so minutes before the quake. Next couple hours was spont outdoors with the rest of my neighbors. Took a pretty good walk then, too, and again saw little damage (though admittedly it was the middle of the night). The one good thing is that for the first time in my stay here the stars were all out, as the city had gone dark. Quite an experience.

Darin, I liked the services portion of the night discussion note that you wrote on the 13th, but you need more information on sales on behalf of EPE for both HE 6 and HE 7...you need to explain any sales to marketers or utilities. I also need you to only sell to a marketer as last resort. A marketer is usually just flipping EPE's energy and is taking your spread. If you have any questions, just let me know. Otherwise keep up the good work! Thanks, Bill

Vince, Thank you for forwarding the following messages. I am sorry that I am just now getting back to you, my lotus notes was down all afternoon yesterday. We currently have the Cal Berkeley General Presentation set for Wednesday, October 18th at 7:00 p.m. which works out well because it is just prior to the time deadline for students to submit their resumes. The General Presentation is a general overview of Enron, the Program, the interview process, as well as a chance for students to meet and chat with Enron reps. Since this is the first year that we are recruiting from Cal Berkeley, I think that it is important that I attend this event on campus so that I can answer any interview process questions. I will check the schedule and see if it is possible to move the presentation to the 23rd. The only negative is that I will not be able to attend because I will be conducting interviews at Rice that day. Also, it is very difficult to find a location to hold the presentation, and I need to check on location availability on the 23rd. However, I do think that we should take advantage of the seminar on campus. This may mean that they are two seperate trips to campus. Perhaps, we can also set up some other presentations for the 23rd or even the Monday prior. Although I would like to be able to attend the class/seminar presentations, I don't think that it is as vital as the General Presentation. What are your thoughts?

Mr. Lay, Just a note of 'Thanks'. I know you are working hard to get us through all of this "stuff". So thanks for being here for us.

Imagine what would happen if you could look at your troubles not as some sort of cruel and random punishment, but rather as a potent form of empowerment. Do you resent the difficulties in your own life? Why? What purpose does that resentment serve? There is nothing of value that it will bring you. Resenting your troubles only makes them more troubling. It only brings you down even more. On the other hand, finding a way to appreciate those problems will help them become a positive force in your life. Gratitude will move your life positively forward not only when you're grateful for your blessings but also when you're grateful for your troubles. Find a way to be genuinely thankful for it all, and the reality of your life will reflect that positive and empowering focus.

Mr. Keffer, Asking this crowd to vote was like throwing chum to sharks. Kay From: John Schwartzenburg@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT on 10/30/2000 07:32 AM To: Kay Mann/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Carlos Sole/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, [email protected]@ENRON, [email protected]@ENRON Subject: Re: FW: Photo Picks The problem is that the two pictures are so dramatically different from each other and present two completely different views of Mr. Keffer. #1 looks very respectable, likeable, and professional, whereas #2 looks very professional, likeable, and respectable. Real hard call, but I think you go with #1. Besides, the exposure and contrast on #1 looks better - its darker. I have seen paper city photo (was that a swimsuit?), but urge you to avoid any pictures in a tank with a tankers helmet on.

If Debbie can't decide and if you can't use the PaperCity photo (it realy is a good pic), I'd go with the first one. I must say that all of them look pretty, well, serious. Kinda Gore-like, you know. Ok, that was a low blow. I was just kidding!!

I see these pictures and think -- "Al Gore, no George Bush, no Al Gore, no George Bush, well I can't make up mind, is there a Ralph Nader picture that I can choose from?" All that being said, if they were my pictures, I'd let my wife decide, otherwise, I'd be subject to an eternity of second-guessing.

I've been selected as a member of the Analyst PRC Committee representing participants that are under your direct supervision. As a PRC rep, I will continue to represent the assigned Analysts (see list below) during their entire tenure with the Analyst Program. Thus, I need your help in supplying me performance information for these candidates (including pre-ratings if available) and recommendations for promotion if he or she is eligible. In addition, for those of you based out of Houston I'd like to meet with each of you individually (15 or 20 minutes should be enough) during the 17th and the 18th of July (if you are not based out of Houston or you'll be out of town during those days, we can certainly do it over the phone the week of the 10th. I'm based out of Sao Paulo (in transition from Buenos Aires) and I'll be landing in Houston the morning of the 17th, so I'll be ready to begin these short meetings by 11am on the 17th. I would very much appreciate if you can indicate your time preference for those two days.

I donlt thin the ISO has the right to do this unilaterally. They must have some cash flow problems. We could tell FERC -- but then FERC wouldn;t do anything anyway -----Original Message----- From: CRCommunications [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 3:19 PM To: ISO Market Participants; SC Settlements Contacts Subject: CAISO Notice - June Preliminary Market Invoice Cash Distribution Deferral ISO Market Participants SC Settlement Contacts As you know, the ISO Payments Calendar currently provides for cash distributions twice monthly, based on both the preliminary and final invoices. However, due to the ongoing market reruns and the recent large adjustments between preliminary and final invoices, the ISO will suspend until further notice making cash distributions based on preliminary invoices. This practice will be effective for the June, 2001 and subsequent preliminary invoices and will remain in effect until the ISO issues a further Market Notice addressing cash distributions based on preliminary invoices. The ISO will hold and invest the proceeds received from the preliminary invoices and will include those proceeds, including interest, with the cash distributions for the final monthly settlement. The ISO will distribute the funds within five business days from the final payment date. We expect to distribute the payment for June during the week of September 20th. The ISO will be filing Tariff revisions with FERC to reflect these changes. Client Relations Communications [email protected]

The purpose of this e.mail is just to advise you that we will start the process of completing two DASH's for two large projects totaling about $1.6 billion. The customer is Panda Energy/TECO. Subject to Board approval, we would like to sign a contract sometime between 15 - 20 December. We have just recently agreed to a price and are now entering into contract negotiations. We will immediately apply the "Risk Book Model" to these two projects; and we will begin working a DASH with the RAC group. Because each of these contracts will total about $800MM, I wanted to give you a heads-up. If we can achieve a contractual agreement with TECO and receive Enron Corporate approval, these could prove to be outstanding projects for NEPCO, because the two contracts are really the duplication of eight similar projects and doing them repetitively, should prove very profitable for NEPCO.

He was particularly positive about the core/noncore proposal. He asked to meet to discuss it further. I have an appointment to meet with him Monday afternoon. He offered--as a board member of the California Chamber of Commerce--to help bring the Chamber along, and he also said that he can help with the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Ass. I'll report back after the meeting. And may have already mentioned that I have a meeting scheduled in Sacramento Monday with the CEO of the Chamber and the President of CMA.

Dear Hilary, The items Mr. Skilling purchased have arrived in Houston and I'm working with a customs broker to get them out of KLM Cargo. The broker has indicated that the packing list and tax invoice are not descriptive enough to get the items out of customs, so I need to provide them with a detailed list of items, what they are made of and what he paid for them. Unfortunately, Mr. Skilling is out of the country until January 2, 2001, and KLM will only hold these items until December 23 when they send them to some government warehouse.

Gerald - Here is the updated contract from Gregg. The changes that they made were in section 3.02 (I believe) dealing with misc. travel costs and such. I am allowing them to run up to a total of $4000 worth of travel and hotel bills without requiring approval from me, as I believe that that is a fair amount considering the physical location of their workforce and the need to communicate with me and with each other. Should the misc. expenses exceed $4000, Gregg Engineering must confirm any such overruns with me, or they are not reimbursable. In addition, I corrected a few references to sections that were renumbered and some grammar and spelling stuff. Please let me know what you think. Regards, Chris Sonneborn ENA Upstream Services Facility Planning

Mother nature is spectacular This awesome picture was taken in the Bitterroot National Forest here in Montana on August 6, 2000 by a fire behavior analyst from Fairbanks, Alaska by the name of John McColgan with a Digital camera. Since he was working while he took the picture, he cannot sell or profit from it so he should at least be recognized as the photographer of this once in a lifetime shot - ATT09176.jpg

Debra: As Debra and I discussed, we are currently preparing a GISB contract for GPU Services Company, as agent for ______. I mentioned to Debra that when we have a counterparty who is represented in transactions by an agent, we work to include the attached agency riders in the master agreement. These riders include reps and warranties relating to the agent's authority as well as an acknowledgment by the principal relating to same. I propose that you all consider the attached riders when preparing master agreements in an agency context. To the extent that the counterparty is amenable, I strongly urge you to propose that the principal enter into the contract on its own behalf and that the contract merely recite that the agent is authorized to enter into transactions pursuant to the agreement for and on behalf of the principal. This is the approach I am going to try with GPU. If an agent represents multiple principals, try to enter into a separate master with each principal. However, to the extent the counterparty absolutely refuses this approach, at the very least I would include the riders and get acknowledgments from the principal(s). If there are multiple principals, try to get a separate agreement with the agent for each principal (as opposed to one master with an agent on behalf of numerous principals) to avoid questions about allocation of transactions and credit exposures. Please feel free to follow up with any questions or comments. I have also attached for your reference a memorandum I prepared some time ago regarding various issues to consider when dealing with an agency relationship. Leslie

The only changes were in the definition of Floating Price - otherwise this is the same as the "no-out" version we prepared last week.
