Do you mean we are now approved to use the North American forms of the

Does this approval apply to financial products only? At this time, yes.
Are there any other restrictions? No.

Alisha,
I called a few of the companies that we had not heard from in awhile. Here's what I found:
Coral - They are waiting on us to get back with them on comments that they sent us early September. (Do you have their comments? If not call, Radie Wilson she said she sent them to us twice)
Unocal - Their legal is reviewing our special provisions.
Hess - I left John Crespo a message, but I would like you to follow up with him too. He is a new contact since Shari Ward left so we may have to start over.
Dynegy - Pat Cokes said that he would call Debra, but please ask her if he called. If he did not, please call him and work on the GISB with him.
Mirant - I left Stephanie Tolbert a message. No response yet.
Pan Canadian - I left Rick Tucker a message. No response yet.
I will let you know if I hear back on those that I have left messages. I appreciate your following up on the others.
I am not really concerned about completing GISBs with the counterparties below. I do not know who initiated contact with them. If we get them, great. If we don't, no
real loss.
AES New Energy
Cypress Natural Gas
Texaco
I appreciate your help. Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Judy

Just a reminder that we are coming up to the end of the year and that you will be able to roll over 40 HOURS or ONE WEEK of vacation time. Should you have more that 40 hours please try and use them before the end of the year so that you don't loose them. I do have a print out of the vacation time if you need to verify your current balance.
Thank you,

Ben, please find attached below the preliminary O&M cost estimate for O&M
services to mobilize and operate the 4 x LM6000 peaking facility to be
situated at an existing UAE cogen plant in Lowell, Mass. It assumes some
allocated costs for common facilities, operating/admin expenses and staff at
the UAE plant to be added to the incremental expenses that are estimated to
occur as a result of the plant addition. Please review it and consider its
accuracy to be +/- 25%. Call if you have any questions.

Subject: Lowell, MA O&M Estimate
Please review the attached O&M estimate for the Lowell, Massachusetts 4 x
LM6000 peaking facility to be situated at an existing UAE cogen plant. UAE
will own and operate the plant and ENA will have option on the output for
about 3 to 5 years. The O&M cost estimate shown assumes the hire of 2 O&M
techs to cover the LM6000 plant for the 2 peak period shifts. Current staff
at UAE plant is reported as 7 total (including admin) which seems low for a
cogen, so I've shown the addition of 2 techs. It assumes an allocation of
some existing labor and admin/operating costs from the existing plant, but in
no case is the "annual total" for the fixed costs more than 1/2 of what we
could do it for ourselves if it was "stand alone". Maintenance and chemicals
are shown as variable. The fees are shown for what we used for the Wilton
Center Expansion ($40M - Mob; $80M - Annual Ops).
thanks, Scot | {

Sheri:
Thanks for the response. Our next dinner is scheduled for September 25, at
the moment I'm not sure who the other invitees would be. Jerry would
probably have a better idea as he puts together the guest list for each
event and may already have something in mind. That's actually another
reason why I think we should leave the call tomorrow on the calendar.
Depending on Mr. Skillings availability/interest Jerry might want to
reconfigure his invitee list for the most appropriate mix of people.

Erica, thanks for the note. Joannie has left the office for the day, but

In the meantime, I'll run this by Jeff to see if he thinks it makes sense.
Do you have any dates for future dinners in mind? The vast majority of
Jeff's time is committed through February 2002, so knowing what the

Probably the best thing is for the call to go ahead, that way Jerry can
brief Mr. Skilling on our plans for the remaining dinners throughout the
year and Mr. Skilling can decide on the best one for him to attend.
Does that sound feasible to you?

Linda: As discussed before, Senate Energy Committee staff have already begun
meetings to draft the bipartisan Energy Legislation they plan to introduce at
the beginning of the 107th Congress. Their bill will focus on three major
categories including "supply" (including fuel diversity, and consistent
natural gas prices regardless of world oil prices, etc.); "infrastructure
development" (including pipeline construction for gas and liquids, eminent
domain for electricity transmission, reliability including California plus
heating oil reserves with concerns regarding the mandatory inventory levels
precedence set by Massachusetts); and "efficiency" (including tax measures,
renewables and distributed generation.)
They are working off of the 106th Congress bills S. 2557, S. 2904 and tax
bills such as S. 2718. In addition, they are meeting with RUS to discuss
ideas to fund transmission builds in rural areas so as to eliminate capacity
restraints. Further, CRS is writing an "options" paper addressing various
means to stimulate supply. Finally, they are awaiting BLM's official
"inventory of the public lands available for development" which shall include
listings of constraints to development, thus, enabling them to draft
solutions.
They will likely do the tax issues first and then the access issues after but
this is not set in stone. Regardless, now is the time for Enron to supply
input and innovative solutions to address the issues. I would suggest the
need to go over the existing legislation; decide which provisions we like and
don't like plus offer legislative drafting solutions for provisions we deem
missing.
As such, shall we proceed with a meeting, conference call, etc.?? Please
advise. We have the month of January to compile our legislative wish list
and convey our ideas to staff.
As an aside, the House is still addressing Committee Chair and staffing
issues so are not as far along as the Senate. However, Chairman Barton
expects quick action on energy issues in the 107th. Thanks. | {

Subject: Gas Logistics Update
Thank you for taking time to come to our Gas Logistics Staff meeting on Tuesday. My apologies to those individuals that were inadvertently dropped from the email distribution. I will schedule time to visit with anyone that missed the staff meeting.
I know that you are all still searching for answers to the Enron events of the last few weeks. You asked lots of good questions at the meeting. At the bottom of this email are responses to a few additional questions. As I said at the meeting, while I am discouraged by recent events, I am really proud of ETS and of our Gas Logistics Team and I am looking forward to showing off our pipeline successes to the Dynegy management team in the future.
With the Thanksgiving holiday just around the corner, I'd like to take the opportunity to wish you and your family a safe and happy holiday season. I hope that you can spend time with your families and friends away from the demands of work. I'd also like to put two dates on your calendar to celebrate work accomplishments with our team.
Team Celebration. First, I hope you can attend a celebration on November 29 at the Doubletree honoring the Gas Logistics team and the new Contracts/Capacity Release team. The celebration will include food, games and prizes. Alma Carillo will be sending out all the details.
Holiday Luncheon. Second, get out your recipe books and start cooking, because it's also time for our Gas Logistics Holiday Banquet on December 11th in ECN42C2 from 11:30am - 1:30pm. I'll provide the ham and turkey and team members can sign-up to bring a covered dish. Ricki Winters will send around a sign-up sheet to make sure that we don't end up with 10 green bean casseroles.
Follow-Up Q/A
Can Employees still order computers from the Click at Home program?
As of today, the Click at Home program has not been cancelled. The web site is working and eligible employees are able to place orders.
Regarding loans from the Saving Plan, is there any requirement for accelerated loan payment if the value of the loan exceeds the current value of the savings plan account?
For active employees, loan payment amounts will not change during the term of the loan, even if the outstanding balance of the loan exceeds the value of the account.
Does the company have any position on employee participation in class action suits?
No. The decision whether to participate in a suit is a personal decision and is unrelated to an individual's employment. | {

No, I'm not buying. I reviewed my credit card receipts this week and I
bought
last. Yawl's turn.
Don has brought me lots of checks, one for $1800 on farm equipment, $3000 from
Gerald for cows, (I think we are suppose to hold this check) and $5900 for
selling the cows. You want me to hold this till we talk Thursday night. I
have the checks in my Freezer on ice so they will not be hot. I can
continue t
hold or deposit into the account. Your call Bub. Also have some on Dad's
mail
that Don dropped off.
Barb and I will be going up Friday to Alto to check out the place, mow and
weed
eat etc. I'll grab the mail and I have Don's check for $10,000 to Mary.
I'll
probably go by and drop flowers on Dad's grave.
How was your trip? Did you miss me? You by a motorcycle YET? I have not
really looked yet. Sold the four wheeler to Don for $4000 plus the trailer.
I did not really need it and he asked if I wanted to sell it.
Got the insurance check from Met Life. I signed it and put my account # on
it
to deposit after church Sunday morning. Stuck it and my offering check in my
wallet. They took up the offering so I pulled out my check and put it in the
offering plate. When I handed the offering plate to the usher, I noticed
writing on my check, then it hit me, WRONG CHECK. Barb said my face turned
dark purple and eyes looked like watermelons. I was stammering, wait wait,
wrong check! Whooo, that was a close one. Thought you might enjoy that
one.
Hey Dow stock is an excellent buy at $24.00. If we do not buy a scooter

How is it going? Did you have a fun weekend? My weekend was, although
enjoyable, challenging. First Eric's wife got sick Friday night and wasn't
able to go out the whole weekend. Next, my car battery completely died when
I arrived at my friends house in Austin. I replaced the battery and
everything was fine. Eric, I, and my friend proceeded to Maggie Maes to see
the band Pale (the whole point of our trip, right!). We arrived at Maggie
Maes and asked which level Pale was playing on and were informed they had
cancelled. Great. Oh well we had a good time that night anyway. Cool.
Then, driving back to Houston and coming up upon the Beltway I noticed that
my temp gauge needle was buried deep into the danger zone. I had to have the
car towed back into downtown. Anyway, it was an interesting trip. | {

Kira-
I got your name (and email address) from Chad Muir and was hoping to arrange
a time to briefly (and informally) talk to you about Yahoo's B2B business
strategy and whether you think there might be any opporunities to discuss
some strategic relationship between Yahoo and Enron Net Works's DealBench
subsidiary.
Without getting into too many details, DealBench is an ASP addressing the
needs of large, secure, sophisticated transaction participants. We are
currently offering live online auctioning capabilities, online virtual
datarooms and certain deal areas for the syndication of bank products and
lease portfolios. We have completed transactions with nominal value of over
$4 Billion since launching the site 4 months ago. My initial thought is
that this could potentially fit in nicely with what I believe is Yahoo's need
for recurring transaction-based revenues in certain B2B areas.
Hopefully we can find time to talk soon.
Take care,
Jeff

My advice to President W or to the '04 GOP nominee in the unfortunate case
that it's not W running for re-election:
Never, ever, ever again step foot in the state of California during the next
four years including your race for re-election. The only exception would be
to attend Ronald Reagan's funeral.
It's a waste of time.
As president, make regular trips to Florida, Illinois, Michigan, PA,
Wisconsin and any other state that doesn't cost you $12 million and hours of
wasted time in the air to get there, only to reject you by a solid 13
percentage points. If a candidate like you can't win in CA, then a total GOP
abandonment of the state should be imposed for the next millennium. I don't
care how many electoral votes they may have. You're young, attractive (which
is usually all it takes in CA), you spent lots time and money, had an
opponent who spent nothing, sold your political soul by disavowing 189 and
209 in order to reach out to minorities and were right on all the issues for
the techies like tort reform, taxes and rolling back regulations.
How can a candidate try to influence the deep thinkers who call CA home when
you're up against the sound advice they receive from Cher, Babs, the Baldwin
Brothers, the DreamWorks team, Whoopie and Rosie. It's obvious that
Californians would rather send to Washington, someone who can inspire a hit
TV program like the "West Wing", two liberal senators (one of whom is the
shrillest, most hypocritical apologist in political history) and a vast
majority of liberals to the U.S. House while rejecting decent people like
Jim Rogan, Steve Kynendall and Brian Bilbray.
Once in office, you should work with the Republican congress to reward these
Californians by ensuring that they receive no highway money, no research
money and most of all, no disaster relief money. The last one should really
hurt since they're due for another big one, or a big fire, or a big mud
slide, or a big Pacific storm.
Of course, this advice is coming from someone who now calls a state home
that has decided to send to the United States Senate, one of the most
truthful, honest, humble, dedicated and caring individuals ever to
unselfishly enter public life. I mean elected public life, because she's
already been working on the issues that really matter to families for over
30 years. | {

Horns Have Final Public Scrimmage Before Huge Crowd
Coach Mack Brown put the Longhorns through a short, but spirited scrimmage
Wednesday night in Royal Memorial Stadium before an enthusiastic crowd UT
officials estimated at about 7,500.
With the first-team defense sitting out most of the scrimmage, the offenses
dominated most of the way. Chris Simms hit 5 of 8 passes for 144 yards,
including a 5-yard touchdown pass to freshman sensation Roy Williams, who
had
set up the score with a great catch of a 50-yard Simms' throw, and a
67-yard
TD pass to WR Montrell Flowers off a fake reverse.
The first-team offense also scored on a two-yard run by TB Victor Ike,
after
starting TB Hodges Mitchell set it up with a 50-yard gallop.
But QB Major Applewhite led the second-team offense to two touchdowns,
hitting 10 of 13 for 173 yards, including scoring tosses of 70 yards to the
other sensational freshman WR, B. J. Johnson, and 15 yards to senior
Brandon
Healy. Applewhite's TD pass to Johnson was a short screen up the middle and
Johnson just ran away from all the pursuit. Starting safety Greg Brown
intercepted one of Applewhite's throws on the second-team's first
possession.
Brown still wouldn't give any hint about who will be his starting QB in the
season opener next week, but did say both QBs played well. Brown also said,
"I was really pleased with the wide receivers. I thought they made some
steps
in running better routes and making the tough catches."
He also said Ike is clearly the No. 2 TB behind Mitchell at this point.
Redshirt freshman Ivan Williams had a great spring, but has not been
dominating during the current practices. He also has had some nagging
injuries. Brown said Ike, the fastest of the tailbacks, has been doing well
in practice. "Victor has been doing the best since he's been here," Brown
said. "He is doing much better without the ball (blocking) than he has in
the
past."
* * * *
Defensive coordinator Carl Reese, who has nine starters back, says he is
feeling better about his new defensive ends. "I've got four guys I think
can
play," Reese said. "Cory Redding and Jermain Anderson are the starters, and
Kaelen Thornton has really been doing a good job. He just keeps getting
better, so he'll be the first backup for Anderson, and Cole Pittman has had
three solid scrimmages in a row, so he'll be the guy behind Redding. I
think
all four of them will play a lot, and they're the four main ones right
now."
Thornton, a true freshman, is one of the larger DEs at about 6-3, 270, but
Reese said he is "pretty quick out there. He gets a good rush from the
edge,
and that's what we like. He also is learning to do a better job against the
run."
He said Pittman, who was moved over from tackle to provide better run
support, "has been doing a good job against the run, and he's a pretty good
pass rusher, too. I think we'll be okay with those four guys as soon as
they
get a little more experience."
* * * *
Brown said the team will have one more open practice and it will be
Thursday
at 3:30 at Denius Field. Then he plans to give the team three days off to
try
to let the players recover from the grueling two-a-day workouts. The team
will go back to work Monday to get ready for the Saturday opener at 11:30
a.m. against Louisiana-Lafayette.
* * * *
INJURY UPDATE: Brown said OT Mike Williams suffered a twisted leg in the
scrimmage, but he said he didn't think it was serious.
* * * *
RECRUITING NOTES: The Longhorns still have 13 commitments. DE Eric Hall,
6-3, 225, 4.5, of Clarksville, Tenn., who will take his official visit to
Texas the Sept, 9 weekend, rushed 10 times for 102 yards and completed 5 of
7
passes for 106 yards and two TDs to lead his team to a 34-0 victory over
Springfield Friday in the season opener for both teams. He plays QB and
safety, but said he didn't play any defense after the first half. . . DT
Tommie Harris of Killeen Ellison, says Texas is still his top team, and he
said he will come to the Louisiana-Lafayette game Dec. 9. "I really like
what
Mack Brown has been doing since he came to Texas," Harris said.

Subject: FERC Staff Investigations on Midwest and Southeast Bulk Power Systems
On 11/1/00, FERC Staff issued reports on its Investigation of Bulk Power
Markets in the Eastern Interconnection. These reports were the result of a
Commission order earlier this summer. Enron's Federal regulatory staff
(Christi, Charles Yeung, and Sarah Novosel) provided a great deal of
information for this investigation and Joe Hartsoe and Donna Fulton discussed
many of the problems with the grid with the new head of Staff, Scott Miller
(who recently joined FERC from PG&E Gen). While the Commission is under no
obligation to take any of Staff's recommendations, the Commission typically
looks to Staff for guidance on transmission and market issues. Importantly,
Staff concludes that the Commission should consider these options for the
Southeast and Midwest -- all of which Enron has been asking FERC to implement
for several years:
Reduce the advantages of network service over point to point service by
requiring that native load be served under the same tariff as other
transmission services to eliminate the current incentives that VIUs have to
favor their native load through the calculation of ATC and handling of
interconnection requests.
While the Staff Hotline is used productively, the Commission can direct Staff
to conduct formal investigations into entities that have a pattern of
complaints.
The Commission could require TPs to submit tariff provisions containing a pro
forma interconnection process specific to interconnection, rather than simply
relying on the Tennessee Power order that utilizes the OATT timelines and
procedures.
Require TPs to retain real-time transmission data on market functions
pertaining to daily load, internal generation to meet that load, and imports
and exports.
RTOs should submit the basis and methods for calculating ATC and TTC, as well
as standardized criteria for curtailment. In addition, since even such
standardized criteria might not "get to the root of the problem" -- that
control area still control generation -- the Commission could require that
each RTO set a date certain by which it will create one control area.
Regardless of the implementation of these two options, the Commission could
standardize ATC and TTC methodology.
Staff finds that while electricity is a commodity with market characteristics
similar to many other commodities, it is still viewed as "different," with a
reaction of price caps. Staff encourages that basic decisions about the
regulatory model be made in order to complete the transition from a
traditional cost-of-service model to a model that uses markets to price the
commodity and services.
DETAILS (Also, the reports contain good summaries of the generation,
transmission, state retail, federal reg. and other issues for the region):
Midwest: The Midwest is dominated by vertically integrated Transmission
Providers ("TPs") that control transmission, generation and load. "As such,
they have weak economic incentives to provide access to transmission service
to third-parties and strong incentives to favor their own services." Staff
received numerous complaints; however, due to the lack of information
available from TPs, Staff cannot conclude whether these are isolated
incidents or wide-spread. At the very least, the complaints indicate a lack
of confidence in the bulk power market and the ability of market participants
to rely on transmission access, thus harming the liquidity of the market.
TLRs are the most important transmission issue in the Midwest, with an
"enormous" increase in 2000. The region showed a decline in peak load from
1999 to 2000 and a growth in new generation since the 1998 price spikes.
Even though there was an increase in generation and mild weather with
virtually no price spikes, TLRs climbed to record numbers. The TLRs were
highly concentrated: only 5 flowgates account for 41% of ECAR TLRs and
another 5 flowgates in MAIN account for 42% in that region. Notably, even
though the NERC procedures for Level 3 TLRs mandate transaction curtailment,
78 of the 191 TLRs in the Midwest do not show any curtailment amount. The
total amount of relief that these curtailments are intended to produce are
not posted. Staff notes that TLR rules are established by NERC, whose
procedures are voluntary and not enforced by penalties. While the Commission
has required certain NERC standards and procedures to be placed in Open
Access Transmission Tariffs ("OATT") where the Commission has the power to
enforce provisions under the Federal Power Act, in practice the Commission
has generally deferred to NERC on transmission reliability questions,
including the propriety of TLRs.
TLRs inhibit optimal functioning of the transmission system and market
because load is not served by the least cost supplier. TLR procedure is an
inefficient instrument in mitigating constraints -- curtailment by fiat. In
addition, the NERC IDC can result in inappropriate curtailments or increased
loading on the affected flowgate. The impact could be mitigated by one
control area per RTO.
Staff notes that the Midwest state commissions did not petition FERC for
price caps following the 1998 price spikes. Some market participants believe
that the absence of price spikes is the single reason that NUG construction
increased in the Midwest.
Market participants must keep track of, and follow, a plethora of information
in order to make energy deals, submit reservations and provide schedules for
service. Staff received many complaints about barriers to transmission
access, including TLR curtailments and a lack of standardized information and
protocols, particularly for ATC and interconnection requests, and
discriminatory conduct. Unbelievably, key data was unavailable to Staff,
such coincident peak load data, system-wide snap shots for days when TLRs
were called, and import/export data. This lack of data creates a market
inefficiency, because neither market participants nor regulators can fully
analyze market conditions in real time. As such, the market is risk adverse,
eschewing long-term deals for short-term transactions. Staff also noted that
because the Security Coordinators often work for the IOU, there is a mixed
incentive to enforce reliability on the grid and maximize profit for the
IOU. (Staff cites Richard Tabors' paper, "Transmission Markets, Stretching
the Rules for Fun and Profit.")
Staff cites the lack of information on OASIS or on the NERC web site,
particularly about real time TLRs and curtailments. Examples were provided
to Staff of transmission refusals when there were no TLRs posted and improper
implementation of TLRs causing substantial financial loss.
The currently proposed Midwest RTOs may mitigate some problems; however, all
three retain existing control areas with the favortism for generation and
native load. These incentives will continue to remain until the RTO
exercises complete autonomy over transmission control and security
coordinator functions. Staff notes that the Midwest is a balkanized region
of 61 control areas with no uniform method for calculating ATC and CBM. The
result is that ATCs can be different on 2 different sides of an interface.
Staff notes examples in inaccurate ATCs and states that Staff's own ATC audit
this summer was consistent with market participant complaints. Staff is
weighing follow-up options. The result of these problems is a lack of
liquidity.
Staff next noted the problems with unfiled "business practices," especially
on the next hour market. Staff's audit of OASIS sites revealed several areas
of non-compliance.
Information transparency is necessary for a market to function efficiently,
with equal and timely access to data, including ATC, CBM, TRM, and load flow
input data. TPs have incentives to resist efforts to make this information
transparent because of native load. This incentive will still exist under
RTOs if utilities are allowed to calculate their own ATC. *** "As a
consequence, the Commission may wish to eliminate the native load exemption
and have all transactions under the same tariff." *** The Commission could
benefit by having access to existing transmission data and should require the
TPs to retain data, including current real-time network status.
Interconnection Issues: IPPs need to be compensated for VAR support. Also,
Staff cites a number of Hotline complaints about TPs seeking large deposits
or failing to complete System Impact Studies timely. One solution is to have
the RTO handle this function to eliminate the disincentive the utilities have
against IPPs. The current practice of requiring IPPs to deal with a wide
variety of procedures inhibits the free flow of transactions within the
region.
Network service has inherent advantages over point-to-point, citing the
Entergy source and sink order. The Commission has relied on "passively"
receiving informal and formal complaints to determine if discriminatory
behavior has occurred rather than actively canvassing market participants.
While Staff cannot conclude that discriminatory practices are widespread,
there is evidence of discriminatory instances.
Southeast: The traditional vertically integrated utility ("VIU") model has
largely persisted in the SE. This continued control has vastly reduced the
economic incentives to facilitate IPP activities. In many cases, the VIUs
have dampened IPP involvement without violating any Commission regulation due
to the inherent flexibility of the current rules.
Staff cites examples of delays in performing system impact studies,
transmission hoarding in the name of serving native load growth and
manipulation of ATC. TPs have shown little inclination to improve the
transmission system and use many TLRs.
There is also a lack of market information that has stymied the development
of markets in the SE. ATCs change constantly that leads to uncertainty and
there is no clearinghouse for electric power prices.
TVA, despite having taken steps to participate in reformed markets, has acted
as a bulwark against the development of competitive energy markets in the
SE. This is significant because of TVA's size and location. IPPs have
reported TVA's discouragement of siting in TVA through excessive time to
perform studies, excessive fees, and rejection of requests to perform
interconnection studies.
In addition, Staff cites the Florida Sup. Ct. decision against merchant
plants as significantly impeding the competitive market in Florida.
Staff discusses the significant flow of power from the Midwest to the SE this
summer. Much of this resulted from the import of cheaper coal power, than
the use of gas fired peakers due to higher gas prices. Peak prices were
radically lower this summer because utilities appear to have been better
prepared for peak events through the use of forward contracts, increased
generation capacity on line and reduced number of forced outages.
SE utilities reported that they have not used market-based rates to
extensively increase sales. (Less used than in the midwest.)
The SE region lacks information, which has retarded the Staff's efforts to
discern the truth about the numerous complaints about transmission in the SE
(including ATC and TLRs). Market participants seem to have less confidence
in the SE market than in any other market region. This appears to be
justified based on Staff's investigations. This lack of confidence
discourages investment and participation in the markets. Staff concludes
that the Commission may need to be more prescriptive in terms of how
transmission is allocated in the SE RTOs, since there are market concerns
that the incumbents will continue to dominate operations. The investigation
found numerous problems in bad ATCs and TTCs and poor OASIS postings. In
addition, several OASIS audit logs actually erased historical data. Staff
thinks that additional affiliate transaction information should be posted.
Staff could not obtain summer demand data and the Commission's lack of
jurisdiction over TVA made it difficult to obtain transmission access
information.
The Staff investigation revealed unclear interconnection procedures and lack
of adherence to schedules and arbitrary cost estimates and deposits. In
addition, the TPs have reserved a huge amount of network transmission
capacity, much of it reserved shortly after the IPP approached the TP to
interconnect. Staff cites the recent Skygen order in which Southern denied
Skygen's request for transmission stating that the only option was the
construction of an 80 mile 500 kv line that would take 8 years to complete.
Staff solutions include allowing network requests by IPPs and limiting
self-build capacity in the incumbent's territory.
ATC variations are a big problem in the SE. SERC coordination of a
standardized ATC is a long process and may not be resolved soon without
direction from the Commission. An improved method and improved communication
are needed.
The SE experienced a 354% increase in TLRs this summer. This increase raises
the issue of whether curtailment has become an impediment to the competitive
operation of the market in the SE. Staff cites information provided by
Charles Y. that an Ameren TLR was not implemented according to NERC
criteria. Staff also wonders if transmission is being oversold since TPs do
not generally refund transmission revenues when TLRs are implemented. RTOs
must have a broad geographic area to internalize much of the constraints. In
addition, RTOs will adopt pricing mechanisms that obviate recourse to TLRs.
However, if control areas are retained, VIUs will retain mixed incentives.
*** As noted in the Midwest report, the manner in which load is calculated
weighs heavily on the value of this information. This is an issue that the
formation of RTOs may not resolve. Eliminating native load exceptions -- ie,
treating all load equally -- and placing all transactions under the same
tariff may be an option that provides the right incentives for the provision
of transparent and standardized information.
Finally, Staff describes specific problems with TVA and FP&L, TVA is a
"problem area" for the Eastern Interconnect grid. TVA is a transmission
bottleneck due to the many TLRs called this summer. The current federal law
and lack of Commission jurisdiction are impediments to the development of
deep and robust power markets in this area. TVA simply has no strong
incentive to provide effective and efficient transmission service. In
addition, the Commission does not have full information on TVA. Staff lists
a number of complaints against TVA, including unjustifiably increasing the
tag deadline and allowing TVA Marketing, but not others, to sink and park
power. Staff concludes that recent proposals by TVA to enhance the
development of markets and its system do not appear to have great potential.
A Staff audit of FP&L revealed violations of standards of conduct, including
confidential information on FP&L's transmission system (including interchange
information for other entities) posted on EMS systems that were available to
FPL's merchant function. Staff's report found that FP&L does not have an
established procedure for review of EMS to ensure that information is not
displayed in error. It is "up to individual Managers discretion." ((FRCC
web site report dated 9/8/00)). Violations such as these undermine
competition.

Thanks for the info!
As Greg mentioned in the staff meeting today, the intent is that this
restructured deal is papered effective 4/1/00. The impact is potentially
that the gas is not pathed properly by counterparty or on the appropriate
transport/gathering agreements, etc. If any rates are changing, then those
need to be changed in our systems also. There may be other areas of changes
also - I'm not attempting to list them all. Rather I just want to make
people aware that retroactive deals can have impacts on the daily operations.
Thanks for the information.
Pat/Daren: Can you get with Mike and/or Brian to determine the potential
impact, if any? Thanks.

GENERATOR/POWER MARKETING FERC Agenda Memo for October 24, 2001
Introduction
RTO Week shedded a new light on the pace and direction that the Commission may go in with respect to RTO development. During discussions with the state commission representatives on Thursday, Chairman Wood said with regards to the hard and fast number of RTOs he desired, "the number 4 is officially gone.. if it ever was essentially here." Chairman Wood was very receptive to the recommendations and pleas of the state commissioners and declared that the FERC would take as much time as it needed and that it was "committed to getting the right outcome." With that being said, 5 of the RTO-related proceedings on the agenda for next week's FERC meeting will probably result in extensive discussions encapsulating this week's RTO Week developments and a retreat from a prescriptive order or rulemaking issuing at this time.
Commission Agenda: http://www.ferc.fed.us/PUBLIC/ISD/Sunshine.htm
If you would like copies of any orders, please do not hesitate to contact us. Below are individual case descriptions.
In addition, the Commission will discuss four new "Administrative" issues:
A-4 AD02-4 Reliability, Security and Market Operations
A-2 AD02-2 Legislative Matters
A-3 AD02-3 Customer Matters
A-1 AD02-1 Agency Administrative Matters
RTO Developments
E-1 Discussion of RTO Developments in the Northeast EX02-1-000; RT01-99 PJM; RT01-98 PJM-West; New York ISO RT01-95; Commission discussion on the FERC's ALJ Northeast RTO Mediation Report and comments filed by industry.
E-2 Discussion of RTO Developments in the Southeast EX02-2; RT01-100 Gridsouth; RT01-34 Southwest Power Pool; RT01-75 Entergy Services; RT01-77 Southern Company Services - Commission discussion on the FERC's ALJ Southeast RTO Mediation Report and comments filed by industry.
E-3 Discussion of RTO Developments In the Midwest EX02-3; RT01-87 Midwest ISO/Alliance; EL01-80 National Grid USA - Commission discussion on RTO developments in the Midwest region. At the last Commission meeting, FERC gave the Midwest ISO a big boost toward the RTO finish line. The discussions with state commissions at this week's RTO week conference may slow down FERC's efforts in mandating RTO structure in the Midwest also.
E-4 Discussion of Western Infrastructure Adequacy Conference AD01-2 - Commission discussion on FERC's agenda and scope of the "Adequacy of Western Infrastructure" conference announced at the September 26 Commission meeting and to be held during the Western Governor's Association's meeting on November 2 in Seattle, WA.
E-5 Electricity Market Design and Structure RM01-12 - Commission action in response to RTO Week developments and comments filed in the "Electricity Market Design Structure" docket.
Market Complaints
E-19 San Diego Gas & Electric Co. v. Sellers of Energy EL00-95-034; EL00-98-038 - Order on the CA ISO's compliance filing proposing a new generator outage and maintenance coordination plan. Dynegy and other protesters allege that the CA ISO is attempting to circumvent FERC and "seize control of the outage monitoring" function that is currently FERC' s responsibility and role.
E-21 Pacificorp Power Marketing ER01-2685-000 - Order on Pacificorp Power Marketing's request to withdraw its filing of a 10-year power Purchasing Agreement contract with the California Department of Water Resources. Attempting to comply with a Commission order in the Southern Case rescinding waiver and requiring that all long-tern power contacts be filed with the Commission in place of submitting quarterly power marketing reports, Pacificorp filed its long-term contract and later realized that the waiver was still in effect at the time it made the power contract filing. As a result, Pacifcorp filed to withdraw its earlier contract filing. The California Public Utilities Commission filed protest to the withdrawal.
E-26 Mirant et al. v. ISO New England, Inc. EL01-93-001 - Order on NSTAR's request for rehearing of the Commission's 8/10/01 order upholding the ISO NE's market rules, which include Market Rule No. 17 affording the ISO NE discretion to negotiate mitigation agreements and enter into market power mitigation contracts with generators. In response to the rehearing request, the ISO NE filed for clarification of this exemption to file mitigation agreements with the FERC, under its discretion granted per the approved market rules.
E-30 Calpine Eastern Corp., Mirant et al. v. ISO New England EL01-124-000 - Order on Calpine's complaint against the ISO NE for excluding external energy contracts from its calculation of the energy clearing price for the ISO's market.

Attached is a draft of the RFP for the NBP debt financing. We recommend
sending this RFP to:
A.G. Edwards
Banc One
Bank of America
Bank of Tokyo
CIBC
SunTrust
These institutions are either agents for a NBPL or NBP credit facility and/or
recently have indicated a strong interest in doing future business with NBP.
In recent discussions, several firms have advised NBP to proceed with a
public market transaction for the term debt. Given their predilection for
private placement debt, A.G. Edwards has been included so that we get two
views on the appropriate market for the term debt issue.
You will note we have not including Lehman Brothers in our recommendation.
As I indicated to you last week by e-mail (see attached), we are focusing on
commercial banks to improve their relationship profitability to incent them
to be more committed with immediate funding for acquisitions. We have
reviewed this approach with Jeff McMahon's group (through Charles Delacey)
and they concur. I am not aware of the "chits" that may be owed Lehman (or
other I-banks) but our thought was if our last deal cleaned the slate we
would concentrate on our commercial bank relationship strategy. Certainly
Lehman would have an opportunity to play in future deals, especially equity.
I will be travelling Thursday and Friday so please leave word with John Jesse
(402)398-7843 if this list is acceptable. If you would like to discuss
please leave me a message and I will call you from NY.

Subject: NBP Financing RFP's
Just to give you a "heads-up" we are preparing a request for proposal for
lead managers on a NBP debt financing. The financing plan is for a $150
million term debt facility to payoff existing MLP bank debt and a $150
million bank revolver (which would be undrawn) to provide greater financial
flexibility in the future. Although we haven't determined the list of
bidders a key objective is to provide additional fee income to those banks
willing to commit their balance sheets when needed (i.e. commercial banks) to
strengthen our position for future acquisition financing. We will send you a
copy of the RFP and a list of recommended bidders mid next week. We would
anticipate sending this out late next week. | {

Attached you will find the outstanding PMA's, as of March 2001 accounting. You will see adjustments requested by financial settlements. They have finally provided us with reconciliation's for the contract periods of Dec00 through Feb01. Financial settlements thought that reconciling current months and working backwards would be best.

invitation list the other interviewers this year for the scholarships (Roger
Ondreko and Gene Humphrey), Brent Price and Loftis Fitzwater (one of last
year's scholarhip recepients who started with us as an Associate this
summer). I have also volunteered to coordinate with the University on
appropriate attendees, as some of Karen's info is dated and she does not know

Paul, thanks for putting the word out on this, since excluding collateral
damage from warranty problems from BI will surely impact the risk profile of
any project if the vendors will not step up to the collateral damage in their
vendor contracts.
Jim and Paul, do you know if the underwriters will offer coverage to the
vendors or turnkey contractors for this issue under their respective
contracts? GE (who are likely to want to continue to self-insure) can be
expected to put up a real struggle before choking liability for collateral
damage down, as they will likely see it as a material risk issue. I think it
ought to be added to the form contract discussions with GE as a test case.
I think this is an important enough change in the market that we need to
develop a common approach or at least a common understanding accross Enron
and NEPCO on the issues.
I will be back in the office next week and chase it up with you guys then.

LATEST MARKET DEVELOPMENT
To Distribution:
Recently, the insurance market has become much more restrictive with its
terms and conditions and is looking for substantial rate increases,
especially on property, machinery breakdown and business interruption
coverages. For example, because of market conditions and adverse loss
experience, Enron,s deductible for certain asset classes will be increased
from $500,000 to $5,000,000 combined per incident of property damage and
business interruption along with a (quantify percentage) premium increase.
In the context of construction risks and the associated operation of new
facilities, one of the major areas of underwriters, concerns are the nature
and scope warranties offered by the OEM.
Underwriters are requiring their insureds [Enron] to secure warranties from
major equipment suppliers, especially where technology risks are involved.
With the increase in insurance pricing and deductibles across the board,
underwriters are particularly sensitive to certain types of technology, and
capacity will be severely limited or unavailable at any price if no
warranties are provided.
To ensure that superior, cost-effective insurance programs can be obtained
for our projects, it is imperative that Enron projects secure manufacturers,
warranties in the contracts negotiated with equipment suppliers and vendors..
Underwriters will require genuine guarantees, not just &token gestures8. They
will require rights of subrogation against the OEM, which means that we
cannot agree to a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of the
manufacturers. It is the underwriter,s position that the manufacturer is to
take the risk for their design failure, faulty metallurgy, workmanship, and
unsuccessful &new8 techniques and the underwriter will provide insurance for
pure fortuitous loss or damage.

Playboy seeks 'Women of Enron'
Magazine invites current and former employees to pose
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON, March 25 - Playboy is hoping to entice some of the women who lost
their shirts in the Enron scandal to reveal a little bit more.
THE MAGAZINE IS putting together a "Women of Enron" pictorial and is
inviting employees past and present to send snapshots of themselves in
bikinis if they wish to pose.
"This is an opportunity for them to do something fun in the midst of
the turmoil that's going on in their lives. These are women who are out of a
job," Playboy spokeswoman Elizabeth Norris said. "We are offering what you
could view as a part-time job, or what might turn into a new career."
Plenty of women at the heart of scandals have appeared on Playboy's
pages, including televangelist mistress Jessica Hahn.
"That's rich," said Deborah DeFforge, co-chairwoman of the Severed
Enron Employees Coalition. "We've had so much depressing news or stressful
news, and then to all of a sudden come up with something like that, it's
kind of cute."
DeFforge said she would not pose, but added: "I'm sure there are some
in the younger set who would be perfect." | {

On January 12, I hosted a brainstorming session at the Four Seasons hotel in
downtown Houston in which we assembled a number of ideas regarding mid and
back office services we could offer to the commodity industry. To complete a
plan for launching this strategic commercial venture, we are hosting an
integrated design session facilitated by Cap Gemini Ernst & Young (CGEY) at
their Accelerated Solutions Environment in Dallas, Texas.
I am personally extending an invitation to you to participate in this design
session. This is a critical two-day event to be held February 12th and 13th
in Dallas, Texas. This work session is based on a unique approach called a
DesignShopv. It is a very focused, activity-driven event that is composed of
various modules and exercises performed in small and large groups. If you
have not attended one of the DesignShops related to SAP, you will likely
regard this session as different from any working session you have previously
experienced. The prior DesignShops held in conjunction with SAP have proven
to be very successful. Therefore, we have elected to utilize this same
methodology on this very critical and strategic venture.
A limited number of representatives from Enron will be attending. You were
selected to be one of approximately 30 key individuals to participate in the
DesignShop. You are being asked to participate in the full two days with as
little distraction or interruption as possible. The quality of our results
depends on each participant being fully engaged and participative for the
entire event. Additionally, you will be relied on in the future to support
and communicate our commercial strategy as it is defined at this session.
This date was specifically selected to avoid critical operational periods so
that your participation can be maximized. Therefore, please make all
necessary arrangements at the office to minimize your distractions during
these two days.
Please review the attached information regarding hotel, flight information,
and transportation. Preliminary information as to schedule and environment
has also been included. You may direct any additional questions concerning
the event to Mary Solmonson at (713)-853-6079.
I hope that you will be able to participate. Please confirm your attendance
for the two days with Marvia Jefferson at 713-853-9165 by January 29th 5:00
p.m. If you are unable to attend, it may be appropriate to select someone
else to participate. Please do not extend an invitation to anyone else to
take your place until you and I have discussed this.
I thank you in advance for your participation and look forward to seeing you
in Dallas! | {

Subject: "One Enron" - "One DID Number Range"
Steve,
Let me know if you agree that we switch to a uniform range of numbers...
Regards
Philippe
Proposal for Single Number Range for the New Enron Campus
For the opening of the New Enron Campus and the changing of the street
address from 1400 Smith St to 1500 Louisiana, we propose that
Enron elects to take a single DID number range for all in-bound
telecommunications.
This single number range would bolster the strategic plan of allocating a DID
to an employee
and that employee can take that number anywhere within the campus in a "Plug
n Play" environment.
Currently we have over 21000 DID's in operation in the following locations EB
, 2AC , 3AC , 500/600 Jeffersen and Penzoil Place .
The numbers are spread across three different ranges :
- 713 853 xxxx ( 6300 numbers )
- 713 345 xxxx ( 10,000 numbers )
- 713 646 xxxx ( 5,000 numbers )
The proposal is to take a 70,000 number range to cover current and future
requirements. The benefits are :
- less confusion to Enron customers and internal users
- sufficient numbers to allow Enron to expand in the downtown area
- increased capacity from one range of numbers to cater for Fax or
multimedia applications
- have a new identity to fall in line with ''One Enron'' philosophy
Due to the high utilization of DID numbers in the downtown area, we will not
get a (713) area code allocation, and we will be looking at the new ( 832)
area code.
We have been investigating (832) 363(ENE) XXXX as the range, however this
cannot be guaranteed.
To take this forward, I require high level approval of the scheme, we will
then pressure the suppliers and regulatory committee's to meet Enron's
requirements. | {

Thanks Bob. I'd suggest that you handle the points in the first and second
paragraphs of your email with Gary Peng, including updating the verbiage as
you deem appropriate to address the North Dakota, weather, and mileage
issues. Please send to Mike Moran and myself the changes you propose
(including the numbers). We have already modified the language you reference
in your third paragraph (per Michele Winckowski), so that's taken care of.
Mike, you or I should let Rex know that a couple of these additional tweaks
are coming through this other channel. One of us can then send them directly
to Rex if that would be helpful. DF

Subject: Re: Enron Form 10-K
We'll follow-up with Gary Peng (our contact in Corporate Reporting) on the
numeric data and blanks. However, for the verbiage for NNG we suggest adding
North Dakota and deleting Wyoming from the list of states served outside our
traditional market area. Our research last year indicated that we no longer
have any facilities in Wyoming and we do have facilities at Ft. Buford, N.
Dakota. This will conform to our Brown Cover footnote 1.
The note in third paragraph about a warmer than normal winter in Northern's
service territory in 1999 should probably be updated. The decline in volumes
from 1998 to 1999 was mainly due to cooler summer weather (less a/c) in the
south end of the system. We obtained this advice yesterday from Gilbert for
another report requirement. Also, the reference to approximately 17,000 mile
pipeline is probably a bit high. Our 1998 Form 2 reported just under 16,500
miles. This number ought to be consistent with whatever is used in the Item
2 Properties section on page 29 for the aggregate of all Enron pipelines. (I
think Corporate obtains a table from the engineers for this disclosure).
The fourth paragraph needs to be deleted or replaced. It appears to describe
the Peak Day 2000 project which was old news in 1999. | {

The Application itself is public. The testimony is public. Without going
back through the material we have supplied (which I would be happy to do, if
you like), the primary material that was confidential was the cost data and
supporting work papers. Also, the engineering plan we filed recently in
response to a data request was confidential.

I was approached by an attorney (in Texas) whose firm represents the CA
Legislature in studying energy-related issues and was asked why Enron (or
any other retail marketer) is not advocating benefits of dereg on behalf of
the end-user. I assume that means certain discussions (which, I don't know)
that thier attorneys are present have only included a view of dereg. from
the government, utility and power marketers. I may be able to get more
detail if you are interested. | {

I am going to start periodically attending the SE power origination weekly meetings. Mike attends the Midwest origination meetings and I have gotten very positive feedback from the originators.

Bill,
Everything went smooth last night and this morning with El Paso and the ramps. Due to the migration I am unable to send the EPE model to Kathy (file for Feb. did not pull into the M: drive). I was also unable to get into CAPS (Trading cluster is not reconfigured). I saved the model through my shift and now that I have logged off I am unable to log back on under my name. I updated Geir's login last night (upon his request) and have limited access through his login. Holden is aware of these problems.

Subject: CPUC affiliate entity jurisdiction
PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION
Jeff,
Per your request, I am writing a brief note to follow up on our
telephone conversation today. As we discussed, Enron plans to change
the structure of Enron Telecommunications, Inc. from a regular C
corporation to an LLC. As we discussed previously, this change in
structure will require the approval of the California Public Utilities
Commission, because it is a change of control under the definitions of
the Public Utilities Code. You indicated that someone inside Enron was
concerned that, during the course of the CPUC,s review of the request
for transfer of control, the CPUC could get access to the books and tax
returns of ETI,s parent EBS or other Enron entities, which Enron would
find unattractive. You asked me to discuss whether this was possible.
At a general level, the CPUC in the past has asserted jurisdiction over
entities affiliated with entities regulated by the CPUC. Depending on
the facts at hand, a variety of provisions in the PU Code grant this
jurisdiction. However, the CPUC rarely uses its jurisdiction to look
into the books and tax returns of an affiliate of a nondominant
telecommunications carrier, unless the affiliate is the entity seeking
to acquire control of the carrier. For nondominant telecommunications
carriers, the Commission applies a fairly light regulatory touch,
because such carriers have no market power. You should also be aware
that there are other provisions in the PU Code that protect carrier's
financial information from public disclosure.
Thus, although it is possible that the Commission would seek to review
the books and/or tax returns of EBS or another Enron entity in
connection with the change to an LLC, it is unlikely. ETI is a
nondominant carrier, and there is no real change in the ownership of
ETI, because EBS will still be ETI,s owner (i.e., EBS will own an LLC,
rather than a C corporation), nor is there any change in the management
personnel of ETI.
The one wild card is that Enron's name is quite well known to the
Commission because of Enron's presence in the energy market. While this
logically and legally should make no difference, it could conceivably
trigger increased Commission scrutiny of the transfer of control.
Please let me know if you need more information or want to discuss
further.

Attached is SCE's proposal for implementation of the California Procurement
Adjustment under ABX-1. I will be sending SDG&E's and PG&E's under separate
e-mail.
Please review carefully each carefully. Specifically note the SCE's and
PG&E's provisions for dealing with the direct access credit. The ALJ Ruling
in this proceeding states that parties may serve modifications the UDCs'
proposals on February 28th (or put in their own proposal for a CPA). The
ruling the provides for parties to "serve comments on any of the proposals
for a CPA" on March 5th. Bottom line is I think we can get away with not
commenting until the 5th. In either case, there is not a lot of time, so
please get me any thoughts/comments concerns as soon as possible.

Subject: Chairman Hoecker's Congressional Testimony asking for retroactive
refund authority
In his comments, Hoecker asks Congress to give FERC retroactive refund
authority. By the way this article is wrong about the refund effective
date. The current refund effective date is 60 days from the date FERC's
order was published in the Federal Register. It was pushed on August 30, so
if in a future order the Commission were to require refunds, they would be
calculated beginning October 29th.

Law changes needed for retroactive refunds
FERC'S Hoecker Asks Congress For Broader Authority
_______________________________________________
Date: October 2, 2000 -
FERC Chairman James Hoecker (D) told a congressional panel that the
commission needs retroactive ratemaking authority to better guard against
market power in a competitive environment. Hoecker also urged the congressmen
to give the commission broader authority to sufficiently oversee the utility
industry's transition to competition.
Hoecker's plea to Congress may not be a welcomed one for California, where
some state officials want the commission to order refunds to customers after
prices in the wholesale market skyrocketed to unprecedented levels this
summer. Although Hoecker has informed California that the commission will
consider refunds as a part of its larger investigation into the state's bulk
power markets, it is clear that currently, the commission does not have that
authority to do so retroactively.
"The [Federal Power Act] would have to be changed," a FERC staffer says.
For its own study -- which began in August -- Hoecker claimed that the
commission, if proven necessary, would consider ordering refunds if market
participants were indeed price gouging. However, the Federal Power Act (FPA)
-- the law that gives the commission much of its authority -- does not
consider retroactive refund authority and clarification of that law is
probably needed to see if the commission can do that.
"If we need to fix market rules or market structures within our jurisdiction,
we will do so," Hoecker told the House Committee on Government Reform Sept.
21. "If market power is being exercised, we will respond accordingly, by
revoking or modifying market-based rates or reassuring the basis upon which
we grant them. We may order refunds to the extent allowed by the FPA, if
refunds are justified by record evidence. However, the FPA defines the
commission's authority, and leaves responsibility for many helpful measures
with California (and other states)."
Currently, the FPA allows the commission to issue refunds for transactions
made 60 days after the commission initiates an investigation, which in this
case would be Oct. 13. However, the law makes no mention of retroactive
ratemaking, and FERC officials admit that to do so, the law needs to be
changed.
"Based upon what I know, the authority of the commission to issue refunds for
any period before 60 days following our [investigation] order is highly
problematic," Commissioner William Massey (D) told Electric Power Alert.
"There are very good arguments that if FERC would try to do that, it would be
unlawful and we would need legislation to do that."
The Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), held a
mid-afternoon Sept. 21 hearing to gauge what is being predicted to be a
severe energy crisis this winter. The committee heard testimony from Hoecker,
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Administrator Carol Browner.
Much of the hearing focused on natural gas and oil markets, but both
Richardson and Hoecker used the meeting as a forum to blast Congress for
failing to pass comprehensive restructuring legislation this year. Richardson
expressed his "disappointment" that nothing passed, while Hoecker claimed
that FERC needs broader authority if it is to guard against market power.
"Congress should place all electric transmission in the continental United
States under the same rules for non-discriminatory open access and comparable
service," Hoecker said. "The commission's open access rules are not binding
on the part of the nation's transmission system . . . owned or controlled by
entities other than public utilities. Open access over the facilities of
public power and other non-public utilities would promote greater competition
in wholesale markets, by expanding trading opportunities for wholesale buyers
and sellers."
Hoecker pointed to FERC's investigation into bulk power markets and
California's energy crisis and claimed that unless the commission receives
clear legislative direction, FERC will extremely limited in what it could do
to solve the market problems.
"Congress, too, has a role to play in ensuring that consumers are able to
obtain the energy they need at reasonable prices," Hoecker said. "Most
critically, events this summer demonstrate the urgency of enacting
electricity legislation to help resolve remaining impediments to competition.
Federal legislation can establish the ground rules that will lead to adequate
investment in generation and transmission facilities, and higher levels of
reliability which is crucial to the digital economy."
The chairman also urged Congress to give FERC the authority to mandate
regional transmission organization participation and mandate reliability
standards. Currently, the House is considering a bill that would make the
commission a federal backstop for reliability, but most congressional sources
do not expect the bill to pass (see related story).

A Texas business executive whose company has profited enormously from
California's energy crisis says California needs more deregulation, not less.
Kenneth Lay, the head of Houston-based Enron Corp., handed out a four-page
plan detailing his solution to California's energy crisis at a meeting with
Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and other state business and political
leaders at a Beverly Hills hotel May 17.
The report details several ways to solve California's energy crisis.
"Get deregulation right in California," it reads. "California never
deregulated. . . . There is more regulation than ever."
Among the document's other points are calls for consumers to pay the billions
of dollars in debt the state's public utilities have incurred, and an
assertion that federal investigations into price gouging by private firms
such as Enron are contributing to the problems.
Lay also suggests increasing conservation efforts, partly through pricing
that would cost consumers more for using electricity during peak times.
Reached for comment, Steve Maviglio, a spokesman for Gov. Gray Davis, called
the paper a "generator's wish list," saying it goes against the governor's
policy on the energy crisis.
"The governor is not calling off the dogs," Maviglio said Saturday. "To
suggest that ratepayers should shoulder the entire burden of deregulation is
totally the opposite of what the governor is calling for."
Lay, one of President Bush's biggest campaign contributors and a key advisor
on the Bush energy plan, has built a powerful energy company by buying
electricity from generators and then selling it. Enron reported first-quarter
revenue of $50.1 billion, nearly a 281% increase over the same quarter last
year.
Lay met with Riordan and luminaries including actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and
financier Michael Milken--plus about a dozen others--at the Peninsula Hotel.
Enron spokesman Mark Palmer said: "Our position is simple." California needs
to "increase the supply of energy and decrease the demand."

Cutting Kilowatt Hours / Californians see rewards in conservation

Chronicle Staff Writer

The San Francisco Chronicle
FINAL
A.21
(Copyright 2001)
For months, Californians have been engaging in acts so egregious that Beltway
types fear they threaten "the American way" of life.
Like conserving energy. In huge numbers.
The Bush administration has been fretting about how to protect our way of
life in the face of energy shortages, but many Californians will tell you
they haven't sacrificed much of anything while knocking 20 percent or more
off their power bill. Not unless you count having two refrigerators to be a
constitutionally protected right.
"People who complain about the cost of energy just aren't thinking hard
enough for ways to save," said Jerri Linn Phillips. She cut 30 percent from
her power bill by unplugging unused appliances in her one-bedroom apartment
in San Francisco's Japantown.
To the amazement of the rest of the energy-guzzling country, all this
personal sacrifice hasn't curled the stereotypically soft Californians into
fetal positions. In fact, with electricity costs about to go up, many are
ready to evangelize about their relatively pain-free conservation.
"The real hardship has been the fear of the unknown," said P.J. Astrup, an
Alameda resident whose most recent cross to bear was finding a gallon of
curdled milk in his second refrigerator.
"Sure, the lights going out for a couple of hours may have perturbed a few
people (in California), but it hasn't been that bad yet."
That doesn't mean conserving has been easy. It's been a hassle to change
bulbs and air-dry clothes and nag the kids: "Turn off those lights. Don't you
know there's an energy crisis?"
Still, a Field Poll this month found that 63 percent of Californians surveyed
have cut at least 10 percent of their energy usage since the start of the
crisis; nearly one in four has cut 20 percent or more. The poll was taken
after a study found that Californians use less electricity than their
counterparts in every state but one -- Rhode Island.
Not every California conservationist is as rabid as John Muir. While the more
ambitious bought meter readers to measure the output of every appliance in
the house, the rest just unplugged their coffeemakers and let the laundry
pile up an extra week until there was a full load.
A few, like Rosie Sorenson, make a game of con
serving.
When the Richmond resident feels like rewarding herself for a conservation
job well done, she'll say, "Tonight, I'll treat myself - - I'll read with
real electricity," instead of using a battery- powered lamp.
Or she'll plug in two, count 'em, two bulbs in the panel above the bathroom
mirror in her 1,150-square-foot condominium.
"We're very privileged as a country," said the self-described "recovering
psychotherapist" and budding novelist. "We have so much. But if we rally
together, we should be able to get through this."
Flipping circuit breakers, air-drying clothes and performing a dozen other
conservation tasks has helped Sorenson drop her electricity usage 41 percent
from January to March. Next up: She's going to ask the head of her condo
complex to turn down the heat in one of its three pools and -- horrors! --
hot tubs. "We don't need all that," Sorenson said.
Conservation chutzpah like that could be construed as compromising the
American way of living in another part of the country. Middle America hears
"conservation" and thinks, "Put some canned peaches in the root cellar. We
got another Depression coming."
A better term would be "energy efficient," said Richard Perez, editor of the
14-year-old magazine Home Power, a bible for folks living off the power grid.
While "conservation" connotes "doing without" to the unconverted, everybody
feels good about making their lives more "efficient."
"I come from a no-sacrifice kind of place," said Perez, who hasn't turned off
his microwave, VCR or any other appliance, even though his Ashland, Ore.,
home is powered exclusively by renewable energy sources. "And we haven't met
a California home yet where we can't cut the utility costs 20 percent."
Conservation is a fun game the whole family can play. Jeff Goodrich deputized
his three children as "energy monitors" at the beginning of the energy
crisis. Their reward for closing doors and turning off the TV surge
protector: Every month, they get to keep whatever the family saved over last
year's energy bill. Last month, each kid got $22.
"I'd rather give the money to them than Enron or some Texas company," said
Goodrich, who lives in Greenbrae.
"I'm always amazed by the response people have to Californians," he said. "It
seems like they're always ready to jump on us for being nuts. But
conservation is about preserving our standard of living, not doing without."

LOS ANGELES - Welcome to California, Mr. President. You're a brave man.
They've been saying terrible things about you out here. Some of them are even
true.
When you arrive Monday for your first visit to the Golden State since the
election, try to blend in. Take it from me, you'd look fabulous in
Birkenstocks. Don't call it "La-La-Land." But do say, "dude," a lot. (See
below.)
Remember these people didn't like you that much before the lights began to
flicker. Key figures: Gore 54, Bush 41. And after all that work and money and
those nasty, hot visits last year to the raisin sheds in Fresno. So, don't
take the smiles of the official welcoming party too seriously. They wouldn't
make a very good focus group.
When I told John Burton, Democratic leader of the state Senate, you were
finally coming to California he said: "It'll be like Stevenson going to
Dallas." Not exactly, but you get the idea.
You can do self-deprecation, and it would not be amiss. Self- deprecation,
hell. What about self-mortification? You might even want to borrow Jerry
Brown's little flagellation thingy from his seminary days.
Did you bring a flashlight?
It would help if you can tone down the West Texas twang. Intimate that you're
an orphan, and certainly don't admit that your parents live in Houston or
that you've ever been to such a wantonly rapacious place. Why,
"unconscionable price-gouging" occurs there, according to Gov. Gray Davis.
Talk about your brother in Florida and how, just like Californians, he
doesn't want any more drilling off his coastline. (You can skip the part
about how you don't exactly agree - with him or them.)
Talk about your sister in the Washington, D.C.-area. Remind them that her
husband worked for such California Democrats as Tony Coelho (do not recall
that Coelho got out of Congress just ahead of the ethics committee) and that
your brother-in-law is a lobbyist for the California wine industry. Good
names to drop: Ernest and Julio.
You might try telling folks you're from Connecticut. You were born there, and
you went back to Yale as commencement speaker just last Monday.
And for heaven's sake don't tell them you know Enron Chairman Ken Lay or that
he and corporate colleagues are among the biggest Republican bankrollers. A
few days ago, state Attorney General Bill Lockyer said he'd like to find a
way to lodge criminal charges against some Big Energy boys.
"I would love to personally escort Lay to an 8 x 10 cell that he could share
with a tattooed dude who says, `Hi, my name is Spike, honey,' " Lockyer told
one crowd, according to an aide. Just for emphasis, the attorney general
repeated it for the Wall Street Journal. I guess Lockyer just forgot to
mention that as a state senator in 1996 he voted for the electricity
deregulation bill at the heart of the problem.
See, I told you how useful "dude" could be. And, as Lockyer also proves,
cheap political theatrics are pretty hot too.
Before you meet with Gov. Davis, make sure to read the latest statewide poll
from the Public Policy Institute of California. Maybe have it lying around
the room when Davis walks in. He's familiar with the numbers and will catch
your drift.
Fewer than half of Californians now approve of the way he's handling his job
- a big drop from January. Sixty percent disapprove of the way he's handling
the electricity crisis.
The best news is that the public doesn't really blame either of you - yet -
for the crisis. A third of folks in the poll blame the energy companies.
Almost as many blame former Republican Gov. Pete Wilson who pushed the
deregulation measure and the Democratic- dominated Legislature that enacted
it.
Only 10 percent blame Davis and the current Legislature and only 8 percent
blame you and the federal government - the same number, by the way, who blame
California consumers. But that doesn't mean you're off the hook. Fifty-six
percent of the folks don't like the way you're responding to the crisis. If
you don't have an order for capping electricity prices in your briefcase, you
might consider having Air Force One fly on to Hawaii.
Like folks across the country, Californians give you decent marks overall,
with 57 percent in the PPIC poll approving of your job performance and 36
percent disapproving. Seven percent must have been at the beach.
Two other things: Get out of here before the air-conditioning season really
cranks up, and, remember, they call it "sushi," not "bait."

Houston's top execs in energy / Oil and gas claims 8 of 10 highest- paid
L.M. SIXEL
Staff
05/27/2001
Houston Chronicle
2 STAR

Want to know just how well the energy business is doing?
Consider this: Eight out of the 10 highest-paid executives in Houston are in
the oil and gas business.
The annual list, compiled by Resource Connection for the Houston Chronicle,
is dominated by executives from Enron Corp., Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and
Nabors Industries. The executives were handsomely rewarded in stock options
and awards of stock at a time when their company stock prices are riding
high.
The top earner was the chairman and CEO of Nabors Industries, Eugene M.
Isenberg. He earned $63.9 million last year, largely because the company
doubled the number of options it awarded him the previous year, said Tammy
Hemphill, director of human capital consulting for Resource Connection.
When times are good, companies typically give away more options. It's a way
to attract and retain senior management.
Isenberg's compensation comes strictly through the performance of the
company, said Denny Smith, director of corporate development for Nabors
Industries. The only way Isenberg can make money is if the value of the
company's stock grows through his efforts.
And he's made a lot for Nabors Industries. When Isenberg took over the
company in 1986, its net worth was a negative $35 million and it was emerging
from bankruptcy. Under Isenberg's leadership, the company's net worth is now
$2 billion, said Smith. And Nabors' stock price doubled during 2000.
Isenberg earned 42 percent more than the highest-paid executive of the year
before. Robert Devlin, American General's chairman and chief executive
officer, earned $45 million in 1999.
Devlin fell to the 10th place on the recent list (he earned $27,272,697 in
2000). But according to a source familiar with American General's
compensation packages, Devlin will receive about $200 million in stock
options and other incentives in 2001 as a result of American International
Group's purchase of American General.
Four of the six highest-paid executives in Houston are from Enron. But the
highest-paid Enron executive is not Chairman Ken Lay.
In fact, Lay made less money than three of his lieutenants because he
received far fewer stock options.
For example, Kenneth Rice, chairman and chief executive officer of Enron
Broadband Services, one of Enron's business units, received more than twice
as many options as Lay and Jeff Skilling, Enron's chief executive officer and
president.
Consequently, Rice was the second-highest-paid executive in Houston, taking
home $47,375,588 in 2000. Lay, who was the sixth- highest-paid executive,
earned $35,665,037.
Max Watson, the former chairman and chief executive officer of BMC Software,
was conspicuously absent from the list this year.
He didn't get any stock options or restricted stock awards in 2000, so his
compensation was just salary and bonus of $1.2 million, Hemphill said. But
that wasn't enough to put him on the list, which required a package worth at
least $2 million.
John Cox, acting chief financial officer of BMC Software, said the company
awards options only once every three years. It's a good- sized grant that's
supposed to last three years.
The options take four years to vest so they always have options "on the
table" - options that haven't vested yet but have a high value that makes it
difficult for an executive to leave the company.
Of the 17 highest-paid executives in Houston, five are from Anadarko.
"They're very good at what they do," said Teresa Wong, manager of public
affairs and corporate communications for Anadarko.
The company went from a $4 billion company in January 2000 to a $16 billion
company by the end of the year, she said. It catapulted into the top in terms
of production, employees and reserves, she said.
The executives are being rewarded for that increased risk and responsibility,
she said. And it didn't hurt that the stock price more than doubled during
the year.
Dynegy's executives also benefited from the company's rapid growth. Two of
the merchant energy company executives were among the 14 highest-paid
executives in Houston.
"We had an incredible year last year," said Jennifer Rosser, director of
strategic business communications. The stock price increased 231 percent, the
number of employees more than doubled, and the company had a 210 percent
increase in net income.
Chuck Watson, chairman and CEO, and Steve Bergstrom, the company's president,
are among the founders of the company, she said.
Incentive plans based on options and awards of stock work well when the stock
market is riding high. They aren't as effective when the stock prices are
"underwater" - Wall Street lingo for worthless.
So, to re-motivate executives in a depressed stock market, nonenergy
companies have been focusing on short-term incentives such as cash bonuses,
said Wes Hart, an executive compensation consultant who designs executive
incentive plans for Buck Consultants.
Companies hope the cash incentives will boost their numbers - earnings per
share and cash flow - and hopefully the stock price will follow, Hart said.
That new focus on short-term thinking doesn't mean companies stopped
pondering longer-term goals. But some are adding more "teeth" to their
long-term performance goals to get away from the idea that options are a
"gimme" or given based on seniority.
And to keep the long-term goals from becoming worthless when the stock price
falls, companies are using goals that aren't as directly tied to the stock
price.
Sometimes executives must meet a profit hurdle. Others must outperform a
designated peer group on several key performance categories, Hart said.
Other times, executives are required to meet an imposed stock market hurdle;
for example, the stock has to reach $50 and stay there for 10 days. And some
companies are giving executives a reward if the company's stock price drops
less than its competitors, Hart said.

Enron's Indian Unit Dabhol Rejects Payment From State in Quarrel Over Bills
By Jesse Pesta
05/27/2001
Dow Jones Business News
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
Staff Reporter at The Asian Wall Street Journal
NEW DELHI -- In an unusual twist in a quarrel over unpaid bills, Enron
Corp.'s Indian power project, Dabhol Power Corp., has rejected a check valued
at $39 million from its only customer, the Maharashtra State Electricity
Board.
Dabhol also delivered a sharply worded four-page letter responding to the
electricity board's decision last week to rescind its contract based on a
claim that Dabhol misrepresented its "ramp-up rate" - the time it takes to go
from launch to full power. "We deny that DPC have practiced any
misrepresentation," the letter says. "Furthermore, we do not think that the
MSEB entertains any honest belief" in its own allegation, the letter says.
It is the latest in a series of counterpunches as both sides try to gain the
edge in a fight over the rates Dabhol charges for electricity. The $3 billion
power plant is the largest foreign investment in India, and the dispute is
being closely watched as an indicator of India's hospitality toward investors
from abroad.
India is in dire need of electricity: New Delhi endures hours-long blackouts
every day. However, many of India's state electricity boards have little cash
because of widespread electricity theft and lax customer metering. The Dabhol
dispute broke late last year, when the Maharashtra board defaulted on bills
totaling $48 million.
Dabhol's critics claim the rates it charges are unreasonably high. Dabhol
rejects that argument. Among other things, Dabhol has pointed out that the
Maharashtra board draws only about 15% of the plant's capacity, down from an
average of 60% or so before the dispute. Reduced use pushes up the per-unit
cost because the pricing formula includes some capital costs. A 90%
utilization rate would result in a tariff of 4.5 to five rupees (nine cents
to 11 cents) per kilowatt-hour, one official estimated. In contrast, the
chairman of the Maharashtra electricity board, Vinay Bansal, said on Sunday
that current tariffs may be in the range of seven to 10 rupees, which he
acknowledged is partly due to reduced utilization of capacity.
Mr. Bansal said he hadn't seen the Dabhol letter and couldn't comment on it
specifically.
He also said that after Dabhol rejected the April payment, the Maharashtra
board deposited the payment to a Dabhol account. But, he added, "If they want
to return it, they can still return it."
In the letter, Dabhol says it rejected the check for 1.37 billion rupees
because it was accompanied by a note saying the payment was made under
protest, a reference to the Maharashtra board's decision last week to rescind
its electricity contract with Dabhol.
"The MSEB cannot have it both ways," says the letter, signed by Enron
executive K. Wade Cline. Either the board is rescinding the contract, or it
is affirming the validity of the contract by making payments.
Regarding the Maharashtra board's claim that Dabhol misrepresented the
plant's ramp-up rate, the letter says the contract permits "unilateral
amendment" of the production schedule based on actual plant performance. Mr.
Bansal said the board disagrees with Dabhol's interpretation of the contract.
This isn't the first time Dabhol has come under fire. In Maharashtra state
elections in 1995, a coalition government came to power partly on the
strength of a campaign against the plant. Political leaders said the plan was
too costly and too dependent on foreign fuel. The newly elected state
government canceled the project, although the contract was later renegotiated
and construction was finished in May 1999.
With the payment defaults, trouble had returned. In recent months, Dabhol has
invoked political force majeure - a move typically used to dissolve a
contract because of war or natural disaster - saying recent government
actions could harm the company's ability to meet its obligations. It also has
called on existing federal-government guarantees to cover the overdue bills.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra electricity board has slapped fines totaling four
billion rupees ($85 million) on Dabhol for amending the start-up schedule,
and a state panel has recommended sweeping changes in the contract.
But the past week or so has been particularly stormy and Dabhol itself
indicated a willingness to scrap the contract. A week ago, Dabhol issued a
preliminary termination notice, a formal step that would allow it to cancel
the contract six months from now if the disputes aren't resolved. And on
Wednesday, the Maharashtra board said it was rescinding the contract.

SAUDI ARABIA: UPDATE 3-Saudi seen revealing gas leaders before June signing.
By Peg Mackey
05/27/2001
Reuters English News Service
(C) Reuters Limited 2001.
DUBAI, May 27 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia is expected to reveal the leaders of
two coveted gas projects before putting pen to paper on multi-billion dollar
agreements with leading foreign oil companies on June 3, industry sources
said on Sunday.
On May 18 the kingdom awarded eight major oil companies stakes in a gas
development initiative, its biggest opening to foreign investors in a quarter
of a century.
ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch/Shell have won starring roles in the so-called
"core venture" projects, estimated to require combined total investments of
$25 billion.
And industry sources have suggested that Exxon is in pole position to lead
the $15 billion South Ghawar development, known as core venture 1, with Shell
a strong contender to lead core venture three - development of gas at Shaybah
in the empty quarter of southeast Saudi Arabia.
Both supermajors already have considerable investment in the kingdom's
refining and petrochemical sectors and feature as top customers of Saudi oil.
BP is also competing for the top slot in South Ghawar, sources said.
Exxon, Shell, BP and Phillips have all been granted stakes in South Ghawar,
viewed by many as the prize gem of the gas initiative - unveiled more than
two years ago.
The leader of core venture 1 is due to get a 35 percent stake, two companies
are to get 25 percent each and one firm 15 percent, sources in the region
said.
Shell, TotalFinaElf and Conoco have all been awarded stakes in the Shaybah
venture, where the leading company is due to receive a 40 percent stake, with
the remaining firms getting 30 percent each, according to industry sources.
Exxon already has secured the leading role with 70 percent in core venture
two on the Red Sea coast while Occidental and Enron between them hold 30
percent.
READING THE FINE PRINT
By the signing ceremony in Jeddah, the oil companies will have had more than
two weeks to pore over "preparatory agreements" which detail some guidelines
for the three core ventures and outline the percentage stakes of each
consortium, industry sources said.
Fiscal and regulatory frameworks are to be worked out during the second half
of the year, they added.
Companies are expecting tough negotiations in order to finalise contracts by
a year-end target. "This is just the start of things," an industry executive
said. "There are going to be about five months of intense talks."
Top oil firms insist there are profits to be made in the kingdom, holder of
the world's fourth-biggest gas reserves.
"The Saudis have been saying all along that these are world-class projects
with world-class returns," an analyst said. "The oil majors are not doubting
that."
And they have wound up with bigger exploration blocks than they first
envisaged. "They all asked for more exploration and they got it," an industry
executive said.
The scope of South Ghawar core venture 1 includes gas exploration in the
North Rub al Khali, a natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery plant, gas
processing, participation in expansion of the gas pipeline network,
construction of two power and water desalination plants and two petrochemical
plants.
Investment of up to $5 billion in the Red Sea core venture 2 includes an
exploration area in the northern Red Sea, development of the existing Midyan
and Barqan gas fields and requirements for power, desalination and
petrochemical plants.
Investment of some $5 billion in the Shaybah core venture 3, Shaybah includes
gas exploration in South Rub al Khali, development of the Kidan gas field and
power, desalination and petrochemical plants.
Analysts expect state oil company Saudi Aramco to participate in the gas
initiative. "It is unwise to think that Saudi Aramco will not be involved," a
regional analyst said.

Oil Cos Told To Accept Aramco As Gas JV Partner -Report
05/27/2001
Dow Jones Energy Service
(Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)
MANAMA, Bahrain -(Dow Jones)- The Saudi government has told international oil
companies they must accept the state-owned Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (C.SOI), or
Aramco, as a partner in any core gas project it offers them if Aramco wants
the partnership, the Saudi business daily al-Eqtisadiah reported Sunday.
It quoted sources as saying that Aramco will also have a majority voting
rights on key issues regardless of its equity size in the projects. The
newspaper didn't elaborate on whether this kind of arrangement would be
accepted by the foreign companies.
Aramco would also receive compensation for any existing assets, property or
infrastructure used by the planned joint ventures, which shouldn't conflict
with any of Aramco's current projects, the newspaper said.
The Saudi government is expected to sign preliminary agreements for
multibillion dollar natural gas development projects with prequalified oil
companies June 3, a Saudi government source said Sunday.
The government earlier this month selected a consortium comprising Exxon
Mobil Corp. (XOM), Royal Dutch/Shell Group (RD), BP PLC (BP) and Phillips
Petroleum Co. (P), for a project to develop the South Ghawar field, called
Core Venture 1, with an estimated investment value of between $15 billion and
$17 billion.
Exxon Mobil was also appointed to lead Core Venture 2, or the Red Sea
project, with Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) and Enron Corp. (ENE), which
bid jointly for the project, as partners.
Core Venture 3, the Shaybah project, was awarded to a consortium of Shell,
TotalFinaElf (TOT) and Conoco Inc. (COCA). Leaders for Core Ventures 1 and 3
have yet to be confirmed.

India: Indian lenders of DPC to participate in Singapore meet
05/27/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)
Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) -
Asia Intelligence Wire
MUMBAI, May 26. INDIAN lenders to Dabhol Power Company have decided to take
part at the meeting in Singapore called by foreign financiers of the project.
Institutional sources told Business Line that even though the exact agenda of
the meeting has not been finalised as yet, domestic lenders would participate
in the meeting to be held on June 5 and 6. They were earlier contemplating
skipping the meeting as they thought it would serve no good because DPC had
anyway begun termination proceedings.
Also, with chances of foreign lenders cashing the deferred payment guarantees
increasing, Indian lenders are keen to find out what is on their minds. As of
now, they have not received any indication from their counterparts abroad.
The source said the meeting is expected to discuss whether they should
continue disbursements to the project in spite of the company serving the
preliminary termination notice and MSEB retaliating with a legal notice. The
board yesterday approached the Electricity regulatory commission for
resolving the dispute for which a hearing is scheduled on May 29.
Indian financiers still favour continuing with the project as it is close to
completion.
Another issue likely to crop up is funding the cost overruns. The delays
caused by various reasons has apparently resulted in cost overruns reportedly
of about $400 million. The company has already brought in all the equity and
now, if it has to continue with construction, it has to borrow more, which
the lenders are not very keen on.
Meanwhile, the sources said Enron is trying to work out ways of bringing down
the tariff. They said Enron is likely to have another meeting with officials
of Union Power and Finance Ministries.

Senator Calls for Hearings Into Energy Regulators' Moves
By CHRISTOPHER MARQUIS
05/26/2001
The New York Times
Page 11, Column 1
c. 2001 New York Times Company
WASHINGTON, May 25 -- Accusing federal regulators of not doing their job,
Senator Dianne Feinstein called today for hearings into possible
improprieties between members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and
private energy interests.
Ms. Feinstein, a California Democrat, said the commission, which is
responsible for regulating the energy industry and is known by the acronym
FERC, had not acted to protect residents of her state from companies that
were reaping undue profits through spiraling energy costs.
''Despite evidence of manipulation and price gouging in both the electricity
and natural gas markets in California and the West, and a finding by FERC
last November of 'unjust and unreasonable' rates,'' the senator said, ''the
commission has failed to take the actions necessary to bring reliability and
stability to the marketplace.''
Ms. Feinstein made the request in a letter to Senator Joseph I. Lieberman,
who is poised to take over the Committee on Governmental Affairs once the
Democrats regain control of the Senate. Mr. Lieberman, who has already asked
the General Accounting Office to investigate price gouging, could not be
reached for comment today.
In her letter, Ms. Feinstein cited an article in The New York Times today
reporting that Kenneth L. Lay, chairman of the Enron Corporation, had told
the commission's chairman, Curtis Hebert Jr., that he would support his
continuation in the job if the commissioner endorsed the company's views on
energy deregulation. Enron is the nation's largest electricity trader.
Mr. Hebert said he had rejected Mr. Lay's offer. Mr. Lay told The Times that
it was Mr. Hebert who had asked him to intercede with White House officials.
The president appoints members of the commission and names its chairman.
''It would be unconscionable if any of the nation's electricity traders or
generators were in a position to be able to determine who chairs or becomes a
member of the commission,'' Ms. Feinstein said.
Environmental groups and other critics say the Bush administration has
granted unprecedented access to leaders of the energy industry. They note
that both President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney made their fortunes
in oil and that the president's national energy strategy, unveiled last week,
relied heavily on exploiting new resources rather than conservation or fuel
efficiency.
But in a recent interview, Mr. Cheney said the White House was motivated by
''sound public policy'' and not what the energy companies sought.
The Senate today confirmed Mr. Bush's nominees for two Republican vacancies
on the five-member panel. They are Patrick Wood, a former head of the Texas
Public Utilities Commission, which deregulated electricity in the president's
home state, and Nora Brownwell, a Pennsylvania utility regulator.
Mr. Cheney has indicated that Mr. Wood will take over as chairman.

Enron's secret bid to save deregulation / PRIVATE MEETING: Chairman pitches
his plan to prominent Californians
Christian Berthelsen, Scott Winokur
Chronicle Staff Writers
05/26/2001
The San Francisco Chronicle
FINAL
A.1
(Copyright 2001)
Energy executive Kenneth Lay, head of powerful Enron Corp., quietly courted
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Riordan, Michael Milken and other luminaries
this week in Beverly Hills to drum up support for his solution to
California's energy crisis.
His prescription called for more rate increases, an end to state and federal
investigations and less rather than more regulation.
Lay, a close friend of President Bush and one of his largest campaign
contributors, hosted a private 90-minute meeting in a conference room at the
Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
Among the participants were Milken, the former head of the Drexel Burnham
Lambert investment banking firm who pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 1990
and who now runs a think tank based in Santa Monica; movie star
Schwarzenegger; and Riordan, the mayor of Los Angeles. Schwarzenegger and
Riordan have been courted recently as GOP gubernatorial candidates.
One participant, who agreed to speak on the condition he not be identified,
said the meeting appeared to be geared toward getting participants to support
Lay's vision and then champion it to officials who are trying to solve the
state's energy mess.
PLAN TO RESCUE DEREGULATION
The source said the timing and tone of the meeting suggested Lay is concerned
that California will abandon its disastrous experiment with power markets by
either re-regulating the system or creating a government authority to provide
electricity. Gov. Gray Davis signed legislation last week to create and fund
a state power authority that would build, buy and run power plants in
California.
"They're trying to rescue deregulation," the source said of Enron executives.
"They think the whole state power authority is a bad idea."
At the meeting, Enron representatives circulated a four-page position paper
titled "Comprehensive Solution for California," which was obtained by The
Chronicle. It said ratepayers should bear responsibility for the billions in
debt incurred by the state's public utilities and that investigations of
power price manipulation and political rhetoric are making matters worse.
The paper made no mention of the possibility that much of the runaway
electricity costs in California is due to market manipulation by power
generators and traders -- a possibility given credibility in studies by
regulators and economists.
One of the talking points read: "Get deregulation right this time - -
California needs a real electricity market, not government takeovers."
Another point suggested giving consumers monetary rebates for conserving
electricity.
INVOLVED IN EARLY DAYS
Lay has been an aggressive champion of deregulated electricity markets and
was an early advocate in persuading California to begin its experiment with a
competitive power market system.
Lay has created a new kind of company in the process, one that essentially
produces nothing but makes money as a middle-man, buying electricity from
generators and selling it to consumers. During the first quarter of this
year, Enron's revenues increased 281 percent to $50.1 billion.
Asked about the purpose of the meeting, Karen Denne, a spokeswoman for Enron,
said she would "look into that" and then did not return repeated telephone
calls seeking comment. One participant said Denne was present at the meeting.
D.C. CONNECTIONS
Meanwhile, Lay's power in Washington is reported to have reached
unprecedented heights. According to a story in yesterday's New York Times,
Lay supplied the Bush administration with a list of candidates for jobs
regulating the power industry and even interviewed one of them. The story
also said Lay essentially threatened to seek the removal of the chairman of
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Curt Hebert, if he does not support
Lay's desire to further deregulate the nation's electricity system. Lay
denied the allegation.
Also in attendance at this week's meeting were Bruce Karatz, chief executive
of home builder Kaufman & Broad; Ray Irani, chief executive of Occidental
Petroleum; and Kevin Sharer, chief executive of biotech giant Amgen. Among
those who were invited but did not attend were former Los Angeles Lakers star
Earvin "Magic" Johnson; supermarket magnate and Bill Clinton supporter Ron
Burkle; and Dennis Tito, recently returned from the world's first civilian
space trip.
Milken, through a spokesman, confirmed that he attended the meeting, but
declined to be interviewed. Schwarzenegger could not be reached for comment
through a publicist, and Sharer did not return a call yesterday afternoon.
A spokesman for Riordan, Peter Hidalgo, said the Los Angeles mayor attended,
but was "not intending to formulate any kind of policy position on this
issue. His intent is to listen to all sides."
Attached to the Enron handout was a two-page open letter, addressed to Davis
and the state Legislature, apparently prepared for those who support Lay's
position and would be willing to sign their names to it. The source who
participated in the meeting said those assembled appeared noncommittal and
asked a number of questions of Lay, but did not agree to champion his agenda.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - In a move to garner support from prominent California
Republicans, a Texas energy executive held a secret meeting to push for the
preservation of the state's deregulated power market, a newspaper reported
Saturday.
Houston-based Enron Corp. Chairman Kenneth Lay met with such names as movie
star Arnold Schwarzenegger, Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan and Michael
Milken, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 1990 as head of the Drexel
Burnham Lambert investment banking firm, the San Francisco Chronicle
reported. The 90-minute private meeting took place Thursday in a Beverly
Hills hotel.
Schwarzenegger and Riordan have been courted as Republican candidates for
governor.
Enron distributed a four-page plan at the meeting calling for ratepayers to
pay the billions in debt racked up by the state's public utilities and
contending that state and federal investigations of price gouging are
hindering the situation, the Chronicle reported after obtaining a copy of the
paper.
Others attending the meeting included chief executives Ray Irani of
Occidental Petroleum, Kevin Sharer of biotech giant Amgen, and Bruce Karatz
of home builder Kaufman & Broad, the Chronicle reported, citing unidentified

Lay, who is a friend and one of President Bush's largest campaign
contributors, has built the world's largest energy trader by buying
electricity from generators and selling it to consumers. During the first
quarter of this year, Enron's revenues increased 281 percent to $50.1

Lay and Gov. Gray Davis have disagreed about how California's power crisis
should be handled, and Lay says his company is being used as a scapegoat.
Enron spokeswoman Karen Denne did not immediately return a call seeking

Enron's Dispute With Utility In India Grows More Tangled
By SARITHA RAI
05/26/2001
The New York Times
Page 2, Column 5
c. 2001 New York Times Company
BANGALORE, India, May 25 -- The dispute between the Enron Corporation and
Indian federal and state government officials keeps getting messier.
Talks meant to settle the dispute over months of unpaid power bills fell
apart before they could begin on Wednesday, when the chief negotiator on the
government side, Madhav Godbole, abruptly resigned after being criticized by
a senior politician for going into the negotiations with a ''negative
mind-set.'' Pressure from the chief minister of Maharashtra state persuaded
him to retract the resignation later in the day.
Then, on Thursday, the state-run utility at the center of the dispute -- the
sole customer for electricity generated by the Enron-controlled Dabhol Power
Company -- served notice that it would challenge the validity of the contract
between Dabhol and the utility and seek to have it canceled.
The utility has long complained that Dabhol's rates are too high, and it has
tried to assess penalties on Dabhol for failing to achieve promised levels of
power capacity.
Another government committee member, R. K. Pachauri, the director of an
energy research institute, also resigned, and told reporters that the
committee had been asked to rewrite the power supply contract, which it had
no authority to do.
The move by the utility came nearly a week after Dabhol escalated the dispute
to a new level by serving its own termination notice on the utility for
nonpayment. Under the contract's terms, Dabhol's notice set the clock ticking
on a six-month cooling-off period in which the two sides might settle the
dispute before the contract is ended.
The Indian federal government, which is represented on the negotiating
committee along with the utility and the state government, has been pressing
for a quick resolution. ''The government is ready to consider any worthwhile
idea emerging out of the renegotiating committee for the settlement of the
dispute,'' the energy minister, Suresh Prabhu, said on Thursday.
Where the talks are headed is hard to tell, but both sides have much to lose
from an irreparable rupture. The success of the $2.9 billion Dabhol project,
65 percent owned by Enron, is seen as crucial to the development of India's
investment-starved power industry, and to India's hopes of attracting $10
billion in foreign investment in the coming year. Both the federal and state
governments have guaranteed the utility's payments of its bills, as well as
some of the loans to build the project.
For Enron's part, Dabhol has not brought in any revenue for months, and a
drawn-out legal battle in the Indian courts could leave it unable to recover
any of its losses if unsuccessful.
Talks are now scheduled to begin Tuesday.

India: MSEB requests MERC to rescind Dabhol PPA
05/26/2001
Business Line (The Hindu)

Asia Intelligence Wire
MUMBAI, May 25. THE Maharashtra State Electricity Board filed a petition with
the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission on Friday, asking it to
rescind the power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Dabhol Power Company.
The move is expected to shift arbitration proceedings between the two
companies to an Indian forum. "MERC will now give us instructions whether
parallel action should continue. We are praying to the commission that
arbitration proceedings be discontinued," a senior MSEB official said.
"Although, the PPA was signed much before MERC's formation, the dispute arose
only over the past few months. And as such, we are seeking a hearing on these
disputes," the official said. The Advocate General of Maharashtra, Mr Goolam
E. Vahanvati, is expected to represent MSEB at the commission hearing.
On Thursday, MSEB had issued a legal notice to Enron, stating that it had
been forced to rescind the PPA and was avoiding the contract as DPC had
"misrepresented material facts" while drawing up the PPA and hence, the board
was "no more bound by the contract".
According to the official, the PPA provides for full capacity availability
within three hours of "cold start", for which MSEB has to pay a penalty of Rs
17 lakh.
MSEB had alleged that DPC's machines take five hours to reach full capacity
and had slapped a rebate of Rs 401 crore in January 2001.
"Following this, DPC not only said the performance curves in the PPA be
replaced but that the plant profile did not fit the PPA to begin with. Also,
a series of notices - arbitration, escrow, political force majeure and
finally the preliminary termination notice - were slapped on the board," the
official said.
The board has now asked MERC to look into all disputes between the two
companies.
If DPC does not attend the hearing, the commission can give an 'ex-parte
hearing', according to legal sources. According to Section 52 of the ERC Act,
provisions of this Act have an overriding effect on all other Acts.
The board will also seek damages to the tune of about Rs 700 crore, which
includes the January rebate of Rs 401 crore and the subsequent two rebates
amounting to Rs 300 crore, the official said.
Meanwhile, negotiations between the two parties are expected to continue.
"The Godbole committee meeting is scheduled on May 29. We would like to reach
an understanding with DPC," the official said.
The board has offered to continue buying power from DPC in spite of the
notice to avoid inconvenience to the power company.
Bill not accepted: Meanwhile, DPC refused to accept Rs 139 crore toward its
April power purchase bill paid by MSEB under protest on Friday.
The DPC spokesperson refused to comment on the company's decision.
"We had sent them the bill amount but they did not accept it," a senior MSEB
official said.
The board now plans to deposit the money in DPC's bank account and send a
separate protest letter to the company, as per PPA provisions.

DABHOL Power Company on Friday refused to accept the Rs 136.87-crore April
electricity bill payment from Maharashtra State Electricity Board.
"We sent the cheque to DPC, but they refused to accept it. We are yet to get
any reply from them," said N M Mishra, director (finance) of MSEB. He said
the money was parked in a Canara Bank account.
According to a senior MSEB official, the DPC move is in response to MSEB's
notice to rescind the power purchase agreement issued on Thursday.
"It seems that since MSEB is paying the cheque under protest, DPC is now
looking at various legal implications," he said. The DPC spokesperson was not
available for comments.
Meanwhile, DPC on Friday held discussions with the power ministry officials
in New Delhi. Enron managing director K Wade Cline met power secretary A K
Basu and discussed the situation arising out of DPC serving a preliminary
termination notice because of an unresolved six-month dispute over bills owed
by MSEB.
Basu said, "The Centre will do whatever possible to resolve the DPC-MSEB
dispute at the earliest."
The ministry has advised DPC to appear before Maharashtra government's
negotiating committee headed by Madhav Godbole to plead their case.
According to Basu, the Centre has appointed former telecom secretary A V
Gokak on the committee for an early solution.
"Gokak has been fully briefed and he would try to bring both sides on a
common ground. But both the parties have to come to an understanding between
themselves," he added.

Ganske Has Own War Chest To Take On Harkin for Senate
MATT KELLEY
WORLD-HERALD BUREAU

Omaha World-Herald

(Copyright 2001 Omaha World-Herald Company)
Should it come down to personal wealth, Rep. Greg Ganske will have an edge in
a 2002 Iowa Senate race with Sen. Tom Harkin.
Ganske, a Republican who plans to challenge Harkin, held assets worth between
$2.48 million and $5.63 million at the end of 2000, according to financial
disclosure statements. Harkin, a Democrat, reported wealth between $363,000
and $1.43 million.
Those figures, however, may prove irrelevant as both candidates have proved
their ability to finance expensive campaigns without dipping into their
personal fortunes. Not since Ganske's first run for office, in 1994, has
either man spent his own money to get elected.
"We're both pretty good fund-raisers," Ganske said Wednesday.
The financial figures are reported each year on disclosure statements filed
by every member of Congress.
For the lawmakers from western Iowa, the most recent disclosure reports
showed relatively little change from 1999.
The maximum value of Republican Sen. Charles Grassley's assets dwindled a
bit, from $5 million in 1999 to just under $3.4 million last year. Grassley,
who farms in Butler County, keeps virtually all of his wealth in farmland and
mutual funds.
While the maximum value of Grassley's assets dwindled, the minimum value rose
from $1 million in 1999 to $1.13 million last year.
Grassley also reported loans for his farmland of between $115,000 and
$300,000. His farms brought in $81,700 in income 2000 with just over $60,000
in expenses, according to the report.
Republican Rep. Tom Latham, who is part owner of a family farm and seed
company, reported assets of between $1.5 million and $3.23 million in 2000.
That's up from 1999, when Latham reported assets between $1.1 million and
$2.6 million.
Latham's disclosure report also shows a significant jump in investment
income, from between $108,400 to just over $1 million. In 1999, Latham
reported income of between $60,000 to $145,000.
Most of that increase is due to income from his share of the family seed
company, which in 2000 crept into reporting bracket with a $1 million
ceiling. Latham's income from the company, however, is likely much closer to
bracket's lower threshold of $100,000 - a level he did not exceed in 1999.
Latham also reported a salary from Latham Seed Co. of $6,000. He reported a
loan in Grand Junction, Iowa, for $15,000 to $50,000.
As in 1999, Rep. Leonard Boswell's main source of investment income came from
the sale of between $15,000 and $50,000 in calves from his farm in Decatur
County.
The Democrat's total wealth in 2000 stood between $402,000 and $880,000 - all
of it tied to his farmland. He reported between $30,000 and $100,000 in farm
loans.
Aside from his congressional salary, Boswell earned just over $8,000 in
pension payments from his service in the Iowa Legislature. His wife, Dody,
earned just under $7,000 from Lamoni Community Schools.
Ganske also held about the same level of assets and income over 1999. He
reported between $112,100 and $273,000 in income, most it from stock
dividends, interest and capital gains.
Ganske's wife, Corrine, also works as a physician. They reported no
liabilities.
The majority of Ganske's wealth was in mutual funds.
Should Ganske win the GOP primary to face Harkin, the race is likely to
become pivotal as both parties jockey for control of the Senate. Both
candidates will draw significant donations from outside the state, perhaps
from party coffers in Washington.
Even so, personal wealth can provide a comforting cushion in close races.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Ganske used $618,000 of his
own money to help him defeat longtime Democratic incumbent Neal Smith in
1994.
Ganske will be mounting a similar challenge in 2002 against Harkin, a
stalwart of Iowa's Democratic establishment.
While smaller than Ganske's Harkin's portfolio contained a wide array of
stock and bond holdings. In addition to various mutual funds, Harkin and his
wife, Ruth, owned stock in Southwest Airlines, Lucent Technologies, Lehman
Brothers and Kimberly Clark.
And while he roundly criticizes the oil industry for reaping large profits,
The Harkins own between $1,000 and $15,000 worth of common stock in Enron
Corp., an energy company. Ruth Harkin owns between $25,000 and $100,000 in
stock in Conoco Inc. and served on the oil company's board of directors.
Her husband recently issued a statement that he has always been proud of his
wife's career.

Senate confirms Texan to energy commission
Houston Chronicle News Service
05/26/2001
Houston Chronicle

(Copyright 2001)
WASHINGTON - The Senate confirmed on Friday a Texas ally of President Bush
and a Pennsylvania electricity regulator to become commissioners on the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The voice-vote confirmation filled two Republican vacancies on the
increasingly visible five-member commission, which has come under intense
scrutiny in recent months over its actions to correct the wholesale power
market chaos in California.
Confirmed were Pat Wood III, head of the Texas Public Utility Commission,
which is handling the deregulation of electricity in Texas, and Nora
Brownell, a regulator in Pennsylvania, where deregulated power markets have
been called a model. Wood's term runs through mid-2005; Brownell's will
expire a year later.
FERC Chairman Curtis Hebert, a Republican, will retain his post. The two
Democrats on the commission, William Massey and Linda Breathitt, also remain
on board.
Also Friday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., called for hearings into
possible improprieties between FERC members and private energy interests.
In her letter, Feinstein cited a report in the New York Times on Friday that
Ken Lay, the chairman of the Enron Corp., had told Hebert that he would
support his continuation in the job if the commissioner endorsed the
company's views on energy deregulation. Houston-based Enron is the nation's
largest electricity trader.
Hebert said he rejected Lay's offer. Lay told the Times that it was Hebert
who asked him to intercede with White House officials. The president appoints
the commission and names its chairman.

DUMB TALK / California AG's remarks crude and deceptive
Staff
05/26/2001
Houston Chronicle
3 STAR
42
(Copyright 2001)
By now many Houstonians are aware of the inappropriate and totally dumb
remark California Attorney General Bill Lockyer made about Enron Corp.
Chairman Kenneth Lay earlier this week.
"I would love to personally escort Lay to an 8-by-10 cell that he could share
with a tattooed dude who says, `Hi, my name is Spike, honey,' " Lockyer is
reported to have said in a May 22 story in The Wall Street Journal.
Lockyer would like the world to blame Enron and other Texas-based energy
companies for California's rolling blackouts.
His crude remark is not only dumb, but also calculated to deceive, because he
and other California legislators who approved the state's partial electricity
deregulation (Lockyer was a member of the Legislature) can only blame
themselves for California's shortages.
Lockyer's personal attack on Lay was beneath anyone with even a modicum of
civility. It was all the more appalling because such gutter talk by
California's top law enforcement official is not helpful in resolving
California's problems, particularly when Lockyer, as the Golden State's
attorney general, is supposedly conducting a fair and impartial investigation
into the crisis.

Enron sends staff on deputation

Having appointed global management consultants Arthur Andersen to value its
business worth in the country, Enron has now sent on deputation most of its
100-odd employees to two of its subsidiaries, Dabhol Power Company and
Broadband Solutions Pvt Ltd.
According to sources, with Enron Corp deciding not to undertake any fresh
investments in the country, the team at Enron India had to be deployed
elsewhere in its existing lines of business, DPC and BSPL. While DPC is
embroiled in a controversy, BSPL has made investments to the tune of $30
million in setting up data centres in India.
Sources further said that Enron India, in effect, has been reduced to a shell
company merely holding stakes in Dabhol and Broadband Solutions. They also
said that several employees had put in their papers since they were no longer
handling tasks for which they were originally hired.
When contacted, a company spokesperson said, "Those on the MetGas and fibre
optic projects have been reassigned." He however refused to comment on the
total number of employees deputed elsewhere.

Power firm vetted Bush energy regulators
JULIAN BORGER IN WASHINGTON
05/26/2001
The Guardian

Julian Borger in Washington
Applicants for jobs on the commission regulating the US energy market have
been vetted by the Enron Corporation, the country's biggest electricity power
company and a significant contributor to George Bush's election campaign,
according to a report published yesterday.
Soon after being appointed chairman of the federal energy regulatory
commission, Curtis Hebert told the New York Times, he received a telephone
call from the Enron president, Kenneth Lay, offering the company's backing to
help him keep his job if he adapted his views on deregulation.
Mr Hebert said he was offended by the approach and turned down the offer.
His appointment as chairman, which was provisional pending the nomination of
other members of the commission, has since been called into question by
Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Mr Hebert's chief of staff, Walter Ferguson, confirmed the newspaper account
yesterday. '[Mr Hebert] has always been forthright and he's been a
straight-shooter with folks in the industry,' he said.
Mr Lay, a close friend of the Bush family, confirmed that the telephone call
took place, but said it was Mr Hebert who asked for Enron's backing to keep
his job.
Either way, environmentalists and other critics of President Bush argue, the
fact that the conversation took place at all demonstrates the leading role
corporations like Enron have in making energy policy in Washington under the
new administration.
According to a joint investigation by the New York Times and Public
Broadcasting Service (PBS), Mr Lay and other Enron executives interviewed
other candidate members of the regulatory commission and supplied the
president's personnel adviser, Clay Johnson, with a list of the company's
preferred candidates.
The two commissioners Mr Bush chose to fill the vacant Republican seats both
had the backing of Enron and other power companies.
'It just confirms what we believed and what we've been saying, that the
Bush-Cheney energy plan is written by corporations and it's in the interests
of the corporations,' said Kevin Curtis, vice-president for government
affairs of the National Environmental Trust, a Washington pressure group.
Enron, a Dollars 100 billion behem oth in the energy trading market, was a
significant backer of Mr Bush in last year's election. It contributed Dollars
1.7m to Republican candidates, 72% of its total campaign spending.
It is a strong supporter of deregulation in the electric power market, in
particular the opening up of state markets to outside suppliers.
At the time of the phone call from Mr Lay, Mr Hebert had launched an
investigation of the pricing policies of big electricity traders, such as
Enron.
'One of our problems is that we do not have the expertise to truly unravel
the complex arbitrage activities of a company like Enron,' he told the New
York Times, adding: 'We're trying to do it now and we may have some results
soon.'
Mr Ferguson confirmed yesterday that the investigation would continue.
The large-scale deregulation of regional electricity markets since 1996 has
failed to reduce prices in many states, and since the chaos and power
shortages produced by the botched deregulation in California, the pace of
market reform has slowed down, much to the frustration of Enron.
In their telephone conversation, a few weeks after Mr Hebert's appointment,
he said Mr Lay told him that 'he and Enron would like to support me as
chairman, but we would have to agree on principles'.
Those principles would involve the pace and nature of deregulation.
Mr Lay said that there was 'never any intent' to link Mr Hebert's employment
with the commission's policies.
When Mr Hebert, a former Mississippi state regulator, was given the
chairman's job in January, the White House told him he would keep it at least
until Mr Bush's other nominees, Pat Wood and Nora Brownell, were confirmed by
the Senate.
Their appointment was confirmed this week, and Vice-President Cheney told PBS
that Mr Wood, head of the Texas public utility commission, should now get Mr
Hebert's job.
Mr Ferguson said yesterday that the president was the only one who could
decide whether Mr Hebert should keep his job.
Other candidates for seats on the commission also say that Enron played a
role in the selection process. Joe Garcia, a Florida regulator and now a
leader of the Cuban-American National Foundation, an exile pressure group,
said he was interviewed by Mr Lay and other Enron officials.

CALIFORNIA ENERGY CRISIS
Changes in Senate could offer state relief
Finlay Lewis and Toby Eckert
COPLEY NEWS SERVICE
05/26/2001
The San Diego Union-Tribune
1,2,6,7
A-1
(Copyright 2001)
WASHINGTON -- After weeks of impasse, a plan to bring emergency relief to
California's suffering electricity customers suddenly seems likely in the
Senate because a sympathetic friend unexpectedly finds himself in a position
to help.
This dramatic reversal of fortune will occur when Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M.,
becomes chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee because
of Vermont Sen. James Jeffords' defection from the GOP.
Bingaman is expected to take control of the committee next week when Jeffords
officially becomes a political independent and throws control of the chamber
to the Democratic Party. Bingaman will replace Sen. Frank Murkowski,
R-Alaska, a strong ally of the energy industry.
Unlike Murkowski, Bingaman supports a bill championed by Sens. Dianne
Feinstein, D-Calif., and Gordon Smith, R-Ore., to impose temporary restraints
on wholesale power sales in the West. The bill is likely to command a
majority if it comes to a vote in the committee.
The price caps still face fierce resistance in the House and at the other end
of Pennsylvania Avenue, where President Bush, armed with a veto pen, and Vice
President Dick Cheney steadfastly resist movement toward any form of price
controls.
But because of a committee chairman's agenda-setting power, Bingaman's
ascension would dramatically shift the prospects of the Feinstein bill and
other energy issues in the Senate.
Bush's proposal to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil
exploration already faced difficulty, but now opponents will have easier
means to block it. And other environmentally contentious energy proposals
could face tough scrutiny from Jeffords, who is expected to become chairman
of the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee.
Still, the president will have the power to enact the bulk of his energy
program because fewer than two dozen of his 105 proposals need congressional
action.
But the shift in the Senate allows Democrats to advance their own plan. At
the top of the list are temporary price controls.
"It's a priority for Sen. Bingaman," said Jude McCartin, a spokeswoman for
the senator. "He would like to act quickly to meet the challenges."
"Bingaman is from a Western state, unlike Murkowski," said Ashley Brown,
executive director of an electricity-policy think tank at Harvard University.
"His geographic outlook is going to be different. He is also going to be
sensitive to Democratic senators from California. It's going to mean more to
him than it meant to Murkowski."
McCartin and aides to Feinstein were guardedly optimistic about the measure's
prospects should the bill reach the Senate floor, where its bipartisan
parentage will likely guarantee bipartisan backing.
That does not mean Feinstein's bill is home-free.
Bush and Cheney's opposition to price caps is rooted firmly in their belief
that they would discourage investment in the energy industry, thereby
resulting in even shorter power supplies and more California blackouts.
In the House, a companion bill to the Feinstein-Smith measure is snarled in
complex and inconclusive negotiations in the House Energy and Commerce
Committee, and the House Republican leadership would be poised to bury any
measure that might make it to the floor in defiance of Bush's wishes.
But other factors may be bolstering prospects for action to ease the
California crisis.
McCartin pointed to the Senate's unanimous vote yesterday afternoon
confirming two Bush nominees to posts on the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission as signaling a possibly more activist bureaucratic policy in
dealing with the state's problems.
The two new members of the nation's major regulatory authority over the power
industry are Pat Wood III, the head of the Texas Utility Commission, and Nora
Brownell, a Pennsylvania utility regulator.
Bush reportedly plans to replace FERC Chairman Curtis Hebert with Wood.
While observers say it is unlikely that Wood and Brownell would defy the
White House, they note that the appointees have indicated they might take a
more expansive view than most current FERC commissioners to bring relief to
California.
Once the Democrats take formal control of the Senate, probably about June 5,
there could be other actions affecting California's power problems.
Feinstein yesterday urged the likely chairman of the Senate Governmental
Affairs Committee, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., to investigate whether
energy companies are improperly influencing the FERC.
She cited a report in yesterday's New York Times that Kenneth Lay, the head
of Enron Corp., a Houston-based power marketing company, had offered to back
Hebert in his effort to remain at the commission's helm if Hebert supported
Enron's positions on electricity deregulation.
Enron outpaced all other energy companies last year in contributing to GOP
campaigns, while Lay has personally been one of Bush's most generous
financial backers.
"Since FERC has refused to fulfill its legally mandated function under the
Federal Power Act to restore `just and reasonable' electricity rates, we need
to ask whether undue influence by the companies that FERC regulates has
resulted in its failure to act," Feinstein wrote in a letter to Lieberman.
Senate passage of the Feinstein-Smith bill would send the measure to the
House, where some Republican House members from California face close
re-election races next year.
A Field Poll recently showed that 75 percent of state residents view the
electricity situation as "very serious" and that 59 percent say it was caused
by energy companies seeking to increase profits.
Democratic strategists, citing those findings, say some California lawmakers
visiting their districts over the Memorial Day recess may come under pressure
to take strong action to restrain energy prices.

Vince,
as promised, these are a couple of references that I have for Joe McCauley's
papers.
http://www.unifr.ch/econophysics/comments/nov_99/is_econometrics.html
http://www.unifr.ch/econophysics/comments/nov_99/paper_of_the_month_dec.html
Whether the specific papers are of interest to what exactly we're doing or
not, I cannot say. On the other hand, given UH's drive to create an
"Econophysics" specialization within the physics department, I thought we
could both help them *and* drive it towards a direction that it could be of
use to us. I think that they would very much like to hear what the Industry
would like to see from such a specialization. Some of the things that have
been discussed as course offerings would be:
Basic physics courses (mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, stat. physics,math
methods)
various finance courses like options, banking, etc.
Statistics, Math Methods, and Statistical Physics (that could teach topics
like BRownian motion, lognormal distributions, fractals, Levy flights, and
statistics of 'large deviations', which are of interest
Comp Science (Java, C++, data structures, algorithms)
Monte Carlo simulations
etc
Setting up some sort of exchange, where at minimum we could get summer
interns from this program, would also be beneficial to both sides. Even
better, a wider collaboration between Enron and the Physics department could
be set up.
After this message,
I will inform Joe McCauley and Larry Pinsky (departmental chair person) of
your suggestions on how to proceed.
I will send Shirley their contact information to arrange for a visit at the
beginning of June.
Thanks,
Yannis | {
