John,
I need your help in reconciling both 3rd CE and 2002 Plan data loaded into the "Database" worksheet of the Earnings Model back to what you provided in the "AnnualStats.xls" file. We will need this information ASAP this morning in order for me to further explain how this data rolls into the cash flow forecast. Please call if you have any questions. Thanks for your help!

Subject: Thank you for POWER 2000
Hi Vince
Just wanted to thank you for your participation at POWER 2000 last week and
for contributing to the success of the conference. The feedback we received
was absolutely glowing and we were delighted with the smooth-running of the
event. Thank you for being a key part of that. As always, your presentations
went down extremely well and your presence at our events makes a big
difference, as people are alwyas keen to hear both form you personally and
from ENRON as a company.
As I mentioned to you, I have recently been given the responsibility of
creating and developing a new conference stream in the financial technology
sector under the Waters brand, so I would like to take this opportunity to
say how much I have enjoyed working with you in the past couple of years and
to wish you the best of luck in the future. Please stay in touch and if you
come to New York, please let me know so I can take you out for a drink!
Best regards and thank you again both for your patience in helping me
research topics and for being so willing to participate at our events.
Emma

Steve:
Working on transition of phone operators into our group. Fast tracking their
physical relocation onto EB level 4.
Working with ECM and RARC on Enron Field Parking Garage project. Have been
advised that Joe Sutton or Jeff Skilling will have to approve DASH. May
require a meeting with one or other to explain. I'm scheduled to meet next
Wed. with Billie Birge of Sports Authority and Bob McClaren of Astros to
discuss Garage deal and get Sports Authority support. We have kicked off the
design team to finish construction documents, having shut down work for last
6 months, in order to meet our proposed May 1st construction start.
Finalising lease amendment with Trizec Hahn to add another 30,000 sq. ft. of
space in Three Allen Center (short term 2 year deal). The proposed space has
already been sold internally. Gene Humphrey's group and George Wasoff's
purchasing team will be main occupants.
Finalising sublease with Azurix to obligate them to 3 floors of Three Allen
Center throughout balance of our six year term. They have asked for rights
to keep the Allen Center Garage "reserved" parking spaces for Rebecca Mark,
Bazelides, and Amanda Martin. Our response is that they can keep reserved
stalls until such time as Azurix's Board of Directors is no longer controlled
by Enron. At that time we may require they give up these reserved stalls and
if so, be given reserved spaces in basement of Three Allen Center building
(perceived as slightly less desirable). Reason being that the Allen Center
Garage "reserved" parking spaces came to Enron as a result of the original
Enron Building lease in '85. The three floors of office space they occupy in
Three Allen Center is not significant enough to command reserved Allen Center
Garage stalls. However we will review next year once Enron Center's new
garage is complete and we find that demand for reserved Allen Center Garage
spaces is not strong. If this is case, they can have spaces through 5 year
balance of their sublease - regardless of Enron's ownership position with
Azurix .
Azurix's use of Enron's aircraft is still an open issue (time share agreement
has expired last month and Azurix is currently not using our planes). Azurix
definitely does not want to take a partial ownership position in any planes
but is asking to continue the "time sharing" relationship in which we can
only recover 30-40% of our gross cost, depending on plane used. They are
proposing to cap usage around 100 hours per year, i.e. $500K gross cost which
equals a discounted cash out cost to them of $150-200K. We've asked them to
put it in writing and we will review with Enron management.
Mike Hicks and I are meeting with Don Hawkins next week (reports to Kurt
Huneke) to better understand Asset Management's expectations of Corporate
Security. E-mailed Control Risk our list of preferred Security Contractors
and asked for their input.
Representatives with Hines and design team are in Italy this week negotiating
granite purchase for Enron Center. Henry Terech is representing Enron.
We've completed testing of LCD monitors in elevator cabs, using wireless
transmitter. All went well and we will finalise hard implementation costs
next week. Understand pilot testing of "BackWeb" software on our LAN is
underway. Initial report from Phillipe's IT team is that they are very
impressed with software's capabilities and no problems encountered that
impair LAN systems.

Subject: CA Supply Realities
Attached is a memo comparing the CEC's forecasted supply and a more realistic
look at what additional resources might be available this summer.
The bottom line is that:
1. The CEC significantly underestimates the outages that may occur this
summer. They estimate in their 5,000 MW supply deficit for the summer that
expected outages will be around 3,000MW. However, November and December saw
significantly higher outage levels. (7,265 MWs) The FERC has investigated
these outages and found no improprieties- just that the plants are overtaxed
from running at higher than normal capacities.
2. There are a lot of uncertainties surrounding the 1,244 MWs of projected
supply from rerating/restarting existing thermal and renewable projects. It
is very unclear how much of this will be able to come on line by this summer,
if at all. As evidenced by the e-mail I sent out this morning, local
communities may be very opposed to restarting shut down units. In addition,
these units are likely to be uneconomical.
3. In the existing resource pool, there are roughly 1,430 MWs of peaking or
other generation units that are running up against their operating hour
limitations from air quality regulations. The Governor has ordered the local
air quality districts to address these restrictions, We are beginning to
seem some movement; however, the US EPA has yet to weigh in on these relaxed
standards.
4. The distributed generation/back-up generation capacity to make up some of
the shortfall is still an unknown. While there has been some relaxing of the
limitations on run hours for back-up generation at "essential public
services" the increase in DG is expected from "clean" sources, not diesel
emergency generators.
5. The CEC is doing everything it can to get 50+ MW peaking units on-line by
this summer. They are promising a 21-day permit application approval process
and are offering to pay half of the cost of offsets, for "clean" sources of
generation in critical areas.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

A termination of equipment associated with the Longview project on or before 10/31/01 will require Enron to write-off approximately $23 million, not inclusive of approximately $3 million in development costs to date.
To extend orders for equipment to 11/30/01 will cost an additional $5.3 million in cancellation charges.
To extend orders for equipment to 12/31/01 will cost an additional $8.7 million (inclusive of the $5.3 million above, therefore, net $3.4 million) in cancellation charges.
Termination at any time between now and year-end 2001 provides no material recovery potential for money spent.

Subject: Update on Employee Expense Reimbursement
Post-Petition Expenses
Effective immediately, the processing of expense reimbursement for business expenses incurred by employees after Enron Corp.'s Chapter 11 filing (after December 2nd) has returned to normal. Expenses will be reimbursed promptly upon submission. Employees should conduct business travel in the ordinary course of business as approved by direct supervisors. New travel and entertainment guidelines regarding business travel and other employee expenses will be forthcoming. In the meantime, please use discretion as you incur expenses. All expenditures should be made with consideration given to Enron's current financial situation.
Pre-Petition Expenses
We will immediately begin to reimburse pre-petition expenses for current and former employees (incurred prior to the December 2nd Chapter 11 filing) up to a maximum of $5,000. We understand that a number of employees have pre-petition expenses in excess of $5,000. However, under the first day orders of the bankruptcy court, there is a $15,000 allowance per employee for unpaid pre-petition compensation, benefits, and related employee expenses. This $15,000 cap was imposed without input from Enron management and counsel. We have sought clarification from the bankruptcy court to assure that this $15,000 cap does NOT include the reimbursement of medical, dental, or vision related expenses.
We have commenced a manual review of every individual with pending pre-petition expenses in excess of $5,000. Even prior to clarification from the court regarding the medical/dental/vision expense issue, we will begin to reimburse pre-petition expenses in excess of $5,000 and up to $15,000 as soon as we can verify that the aggregate reimbursements to an individual employee have not exceeded the $15,000 cap. Unfortunately, since this will be a manual process, it will take some time to work through. Employees with pre-petition business expenses in excess of $5,000 can assist us with this manual review process by providing a brief email summary of their situation, including the total amount of pending pre-petition medical/dental/vision claims, to [email protected].
Thank you for your patience. | {

Matt advised me today that John Nowlan and John Chismar have decided that
they want to try to settle this case before the joint survey takes place and
that they will likely appoint Paul Henking, their new head chartering person
in Singapore (formerly of Enron's Houston office) to contact Mitsubishi about
this.
A. A number of new developments may have influenced this decision (although
I would rely on Matt's knowledge about this, as he actually spoke with Nowlan
and Chismar):
1. SGS's Singapore lab continues to struggle with trying to implement the
joint survey test program that Steve Jones, our chemist, wants to use. In
order to determine if SGS is up to it, Jones feels that it will be necessary
to send Alan Goddard (another one of our experts) to SGS's Singapore lab and
assist in the trials, at an additional cost of about $7,250. Goodard can't
leave for another ten days or so, causing further delay. Goodard may or may
not conclude at the end of his stay that SGS is up to it. ECT's other
options are clearly second choices in terms of cost and strategy.
2. ECT's damages now appear to be harder to prove. As to the Elang Crude
cargo at issue, ECT was recently able to calculate that it actually
reportedly made over $500,000 more than if ECT had sold the cargo to FGH.
ECT's big loss was having to substitute a naptha cargo for the Elang Crude
that FGH had rejected. That loss is reportedly in the range of about
$1,300,000. However, this seems to raise a number of issues:
(a) Is this a recoverable consequential damage? I haven't yet looked at the
charter to see if there is any contractual limitation on damages.
(b) can we prove that we in fact had to substitute naptha for condensate
(our contract with FGH reportedly requires us to sell the naptha at a big
discount)? Our traders would reportedly have a tough time stating under oath
that there was no condensate available; our key problem was lack of
confidence what the D3605 test would show even with condensate that we
thought was on spec.
3. ECT has determined that it may need to recharter vessels from Mitsubishi
in the future for strategic routes.
There may be other reasons for Nowland and Chismar's decision, and I invite
Matt to report on anything else of which he is aware.
B. Settlement Strategy
Matt advises that Nowlan and Chismar want to offer to settle for a net
payment of $250,000 by Mitsubishi to us (Matt, I would appreciate your
helping me out with the numbers on how that figure was calculated). I have
told Matt in the past that I believe a drop hands agreement between ECT and
Mitsubishi would be a very good result, and I think he and I agree. David
Best also agreed with a drop hands agreement when I mentioned it to him in
the past (although he will not be aware until receipt of this e-mail of the
recent revelation regarding the damages figures).
I will keep you advised.

Hi Karen:
Sue did a great job today at the VICA meeting. I wish I could take Sue and
fellow speaker Fred Pickle up and down the State of California to talk to
business associations about energy.
The audience was very receptive to the presentation. Now that the energy
crisis has moved off the front page and the legislature is out of session,
people seem better able to absorb the magnitude and long-term ramifications
of long term contracts, the end of direct access, etc.
David Horowitz spent more time talking about telco deregulation than
electricity. He is clearly more comfortable talking about telco and was
completely unaware of current events at Enron. David Freeman did not show
up and he didn't send anyone in his place.
Carolyn Casavan, VICA co-chair of the energy & environment committee told
Sue to call if there was anything that VICA could do to support efforts to
reinstate direct access to please call.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Talk to you soon

Enron's advisory council is scheduled for London on October 30 and 31. The
council includes several prominent permanent members drawn from the business
and academic communities, to which we add distinguished guests with expertise
in areas of interest to us on an ad hoc basis. Several of our top executives
attend these meetings.
I am hoping that you might help us in two ways. Irwin tells me that your
headquarters building is innovative and has many features that it would be
well worth our while to know about and to study. Would it be possible for you
to arrange a tour for a few of our executives, both from the US and the UK,
say on the morning of October 30?
Second, we understand from Irwin and from the press that you have done
wonders in reinvigorating and revitalizing the BA staff. I am hoping that you
might be willing to share some of the secrets of your success with us,
perhaps at an informal buffet lunch at our new London headquarters on October
31, or at some other time on that day that might be more convenient for you.
Let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on what you have
achieved at BA, in a short time and in a tough market.
Sincerely, | {

Hi Carol:
Enclosed is latest draft. Please note that I changed DB's Threshold at A+
to bring it into line with Enron's rating. I also added a sweep-in clause
to deal with the BT Transactions (Section 18). Please let me know if those
provisions are acceptable. Subject to internal DB approvals, I think the
other substantive points still open are (i) a Moody's rating for the MAC
clause, (ii) the demand section in the Guaranty, and (iii) determining the
L/C provisions and mechanics. Please let me know who your replacement on
this matter will be and, if we don't speak before you leave, good luck and
congratulations.

Steve

9th at 8:30 in EB46C1. I listened to your voice mail message --thanks for
the clarification around the recruiting process for one analyst program.
My dad was released from the hospital on Saturday, following what seemed like
a very long ten day stay. He lost a lot of weight while being fed only by IV
for 8 of those days, so he is under orders to eat everything in sight!
Hopefully, this most recent operation will result in overall better health

Subject: New CNG Facilities to Replace Tennessee Agreement
CNG TRANSMISSION FILES APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE TO BUILD NEW PIPELINE AND
COMPRESSION FACILITIES AS SUBSTITUTE FOR TENNESSEE'S LOOP SERVICE
01/06/2000
Foster Natural Gas Report
7
(c) Copyright 2000, Foster Associates, Inc.
On December 29 CNG Transmission Corp. (CP00-64) submitted a certificate
application to FERC
requesting authorization to construct facilities in Pennsylvania and New York
in order to substitute its own
transportation capacity for market area service entitlements that CNG
currently holds on Tennessee Gas
Pipeline Co. pursuant to terms of an expiring contract. CNG's contract with
Tennessee has a primary term
until 11/1/2000 with a one-year notification requirement to terminate. Acting
quickly on terms of a
settlement (RP00-15) approved by the Commission on 12/21/99, which capped
CNG's upstream costs
and freed CNG to build its own facilities to replace capacity currently
purchased from Tennessee, CNG
proposes to construct approximately 13 miles of 30-inch pipeline (TL474x2), a
loop of its existing pipeline
in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania; to install approximately 13,250 horsepower
of additional compression
in three Pennsylvania counties and approximately 7,000 hp of compression at
Brookman Corners Station,
in Montgomery County, New York; to construct and operate approximately 800
feet of 30-inch pipeline,
known as the Connector Line (TL-510), between TL-474x2 and lines LN-26 and
LN-380 in Armstrong
County; and to abandon approximately 12.9 miles of a 12-inch diameter
pipeline in Armstrong County
known as LN-9 (CNG's existing parallel pipeline, LN-19, purportedly is
sufficient to maintain existing
services to the markets served by this part of CNG's system). These
facilities are designed to re-create
south-to-north delivery capacity on the CNG system to substitute for looping
service that has been
purchased from Tennessee.
In support, CNG claims, first, its proposal results in near-term and
long-term savings to its existing firm
service customers, without degrading service. Second, by not requiring
assignees to maintain firm
upstream entitlements to service on the Tennessee system, the project will
reduce the fixed cost burden for
consumers downstream of CNG's LDC customers. Third, CNG's proposal eases the
constraint for
deliveries on CNG's system from southern receipt points to northern delivery
points, across the Valley Gate
Junction located in central Pennsylvania. CNG, thus, will be able to
eliminate its "standing must-flow"
operational flow order. After placing the proposed facilities in service, CNG
will modify its tariff to eliminate
the requirement that customers with "North of Valley" receipt points --
primarily CNG's interconnection with
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp. at Leidy, Pennsylvania -- can be
directed to use their capacity to
tender quantities of gas to CNG throughout the Winter Period. Fourth, the
proposed construction will
enable CNG to meet its existing market commitments. During the first three
years after the projected
in-service date of this project, less than 15% of CNG's firm transportation
capacity will be eligible to expire.
Fifth, to the extent that markets can be served in the future either by CNG's
own facilities or by the
turned-back capacity that Tennessee accrues in its Zones 3 through 5, the CNG
construction presents a
competitive alternative.
Background: CNG's long-haul contract with Tennessee provides for delivery of
natural gas from the Gulf of
Mexico, plus reliance on an operational loop of CNG's system, operated by
Tennessee, that allows CNG to
offer more storage and transportation capacity than CNG could provide on its
own. In the aftermath of
Order No. 636, however, CNG unbundled its storage and transportation services
and exited the merchant
function. CNG, which no longer required a significant portion of the
Tennessee capacity from the Gulf to
Tennessee's interconnections with CNG in Tennessee Zone 3, agreed to assign
its upstream capacity on
Tennessee from the production area to a Zone 3 transfer point (South
Webster), while retaining the
capacity from South Webster to delivery points interconnecting with CNG in
Tennessee Zones 4 and 5 to
facilitate dispatching and no-notice service to CNG's customers.
In conjunction with CNG's restructuring settlement, one transaction on the
Tennessee system thus was
separated into two parts, with CNG and its assignees paying Tennessee
reservation and usage charges
for the capacity as if Tennessee had a single customer from the Gulf to the
market area. Tennessee
charged CNG's converting customers the applicable Zone 3 delivery rate for
transporting gas from Zones 0
and 1 to West Virginia and the South Webster transfer point. CNG, in turn, is
charged an incremental rate
for transporting gas from South Webster to CNG's delivery points in Zone 4
and 5, determined by
subtracting the maximum reservation and usage rates applicable to Tennessee's
Zone 3 (including
applicable surcharges) from the maximum reservation and usage rates
(including surcharges) for the haul
rate from the Gulf to either Zone 4 or 5. The incremental rate is
approximately one-third of Tennessee's
maximum tariff rates for Rate Schedule FT-A service from Zones 3 to 5 or
Zones 4 to 5, respectively.
In negotiations to examine the fate of the expiring contract, Tennessee
conveyed to CNG that, in order to
preserve revenue neutrality, the assigned upstream contract that feeds the
CNG/Tennessee market
contract (No. 3919) must match exactly the maximum daily quantity (MDQ) of
the downstream contract. Any
mismatched quantities will be priced to CNG at Tennessee's maximum tariff
rates for FT-A service. Unless
CNG were to require all assignees to continue to hold upstream capacity on
the Tennessee system,
therefore, CNG would no longer qualify for the incremental rate on Tennessee
on the mismatched capacity
retained by CNG. Meanwhile, as CNG's assignees have elected to turn back
upstream Tennessee
capacity, CNG's costs would go up unless CNG chooses to turn back an equal
quantity of service
downstream of South Webster. The cost increase on CNG to its customers, if
all assignees turned back,
would be approximately $27 million per year.
CNG notified Tennessee on November 1 that it will extend only a portion of
its current contract for a
one-year period in order to accommodate a new CNG construction schedule. The
initial termination dates
for CNG's customers' upstream contracts (all assigned from CNG's original
contract with Tennessee) were
the same. Absent the termination notice, the contract provides for an
automatic extension for a primary
term of five years.
Proposal to Build Facilities: Given the circumstances, CNG proposes to build
the facilities needed to serve
its existing market without having to rely on Tennessee for the traditional
looping service provided under
this contract. Thus, CNG's customers would avoid the anticipated Tennessee
cost increase that would
result if CNG renewed the contract at Tennessee's maximum rates. Instead,
CNG's customers will
experience an annual cost decrease as a result when compared to the
transportation costs approved by
the Commission in CNG's Docket TMOO-1.
CNG proposes to roll the costs of this project into CNG's general system
transportation rates. Such
treatment, the applicant argued, is supported by the projected cost decrease
to existing customers as well
as by the system-wide benefits that will result. The benefits outweigh any
adverse impacts on the affected
interests, as examined pursuant to FERC's policy (PL99-3). No subsidies exist
under the circumstances,
as the facilities actually will prevent a cost increase to existing
customers. The proposed construction "also
makes certain cost reductions possible for all of the CNG customers that took
assignment of upstream firm
services on Tennessee during CNG's restructuring proceeding . . . ."
Accordingly, CNG has met the
Commission's policy threshold requirement to establish that its project
satisfies the public convenience
and necessity standard.
Pursuant to the Transportation Cost Recovery Adjustment (TCRA) terms in the
settlement approved by the
Commission on December 21, CNG will continue to collect its TCRA at agreed
levels, a specified portion
of which will be attributed to the costs of the project. The annual cost of
this project to CNG's firm
transportation customers will be $19.8 million, which corresponds to the
incremental payment that CNG
had been making to Tennessee for Zones 3-4 and 3-5 firm transportation
services through the TCRA.
CNG related that turnbacks are due to state retail unbundling initiatives
that reduce the LDCs' need to
maintain pipeline capacity in support of a merchant role. In addition,
increased liquidity in the commodity
market, largely because of Commission policies supporting market centers, has
increased opportunities
to purchase gas in the market area. These developments, coupled with the
potential for significant
fixed-cost savings, motivated CNG's assignees to want to terminate upstream
capacity contracts.
Therefore, while CNG could have required its assignees to maintain upstream
Tennessee capacity, the
proposed construction offers a more effective long-term mechanism to enable
CNG to manage the risk of
future cost increases for its customers.
The applicant said a recognized potential adverse impact on the captive
customers of Tennessee (who
might face cost shifting) is outweighed by the public benefits of CNG's
proposal. Moreover, Tennessee
need re-market only a portion of the former CNG market-area capacity in order
to recoup CNG's
contribution to Tennessee's revenue requirement. Tennessee also has expressed
confidence in its ability
to secure markets for this newly available capacity.
In order to avoid unnecessary construction, CNG indicated it conducted a
reverse open season for two
weeks during October, 1999, in which CNG solicited customer interest in
turning back firm service
entitlements through an announcement on its electronic bulletin board. No
customer sought to turn back
service entitlements in support of the proposed project. To address potential
landowner concerns, CNG
plans to construct this pipeline adjacent to an existing natural gas pipeline
right-of-way, for which CNG
already holds easement agreements. CNG has also directly contacted each
affected landowner and
secured landowner authorization to conduct both engineering and environmental
studies on 100% of the
proposed right-of-way.

Lorraine, I have no problem with Larry's proposed change or his reasons for
the change. However, I would ask that we eliminate the word "volumetric" as
that has other connotations in the FERC tariff world. I.e., if we were truly
to have "volumetric" rates (like Northern) we'd have to file a whole new rate
schedule! I just don't want to use this word. I don't think it's necessary
in order to convey Larry's meaning. Why don't we insert: "on a daily basis
only to the volumes for which such other alternate points are utilized".
If Larry wants to talk about it I'm happy to. If he comes up with any more
issues I am sending him to law school as punishment.

Subject: Discount Letter
Lorraine,
I have your revised letter.? There is only one thing that seems subject to
possible questions about the intent.? Paragraph 3, last sentence.? I suggest
it be revised as follows:
".....and Transwestern's maximum rates shall apply on a daily, volumetric
basis to the volumes for which such other alternate points are utilized."
This would reflect how I read the Tariff provisions to apply.? As written
now, someone could infer that ALL volumes go to max rates whenever ANY
volumes are moved from/to an unspecified alternate point.? I am visualizing a
nomination day with part of the volumes from Primary or one of these
specified points and part of the volumes from some other unspecified
alternate point.
Then, just a general question.? Are any of these named alternates also
delivery points, as well as receipt points?? Are there any delivery points in
these areas that should be recognized?
I will talk to you first thing in the morning.
Thanks.
Larry

FINANCIAL:
We have an ISDA Master in place, originally through Transammonia, Inc.,
acting through its division Trammochem. That master has since been expanded
to allow trading through additional divisions, Trammo Gas Division and Trammo
Gas & Petrochemicals Division. All trades and confirms can be done as
follows:
Transammonia, Inc.
Transammonia, Inc. acting though its division Trammochem
Transammonia Inc. acting through its Trammo Gas Division
Transammonia Inc., acting through its Trammo Gas & Petrochemicals Division
Obviously, Transammonia, Inc., the body corporate, needs to always be on the
confirm.
PHYSICAL:
My reports from the other Legal trading groups are that they have no
contracts in place, although it is somewhat unclear on the physical gas side
as to whether Global Contracts as to whether we have any physical gas master
in place. | {

Jim-
I want to thank you for taking some time to speak with me this morning about my current position relative to Enron's market position. More importantly, I want to thank you for your candor and honesty. I walked away from the meeting feeling elated and confident, regardless of the bleak message.
I only wish you the best of luck these next few weeks. You are in a tough position, a position I do not envy. I am heeding your advice and looking for opportunities outside this organization. I had hoped to work in your group as an associate rotation. I am certain that I could have learned a great deal from you and parlayed it into opportunities for this organization. Maybe our paths will cross in the future.
If there is anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me. My cell phone number is 713.444.8282 and work extension is 51793.
Yours Sincerely,
Amanda Day
PS. Please forgive me for calling you "Jeff" earlier. I did not realize my grave mistake until I hit the elevators. At least you, hopefully, got a chuckle out of it. | {

following. I suggest inserting it as a new paragraph.
MidAmerican and NNG understand and agree that the original November 29, 1994
Cedar Rapids and Quad Cities Operational Balancing Agreements ("the OBA's")
provide for volumetric resolution of imbalances and were not intended to be
subject to the mandatory cash out provisions of NNG's Ferc Gas Tariff.
MidAmerican and NNG further understand and agree that the Agreements, as
clarified
herein, reflect the exclusive manner in which imbalances applicable to NNG
Station Nos.'s 54227 and 62858 will be incurred, valued and resolved.
MidAmerican and NNG acknowledge Northern has filed previously (e.g., Docket
No. RP00-404) and may file from time to time hereafter, to modify or
otherwise affect the manner in which imbalances are valued and resolved on
NNG's system. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by written amendments to the
Agreements, MidAmerican and NNG expressly agree that any such modifications
or changes, whether approved by FERC or not, shall not modify or affect the
manner in which imbalances applicable to MidAmerican's OBA's are incurred,
valued or resolved. Consistent with this agreement, MidAmerican and NNG
agree that Section 7 of the OBA's is hereby deleted in its entirety.

Attached are the ISDA and CSA which reflect our earlier discussions.
As you will see, these documents contemplate L/Cs as collateral. We think
that the L/C provisions as written would work well for both of us, but are
open to your ideas on the form of the L/C and other mechanics in view of the
fact that you probably have more experience with this form of collateral for
ISDA trading relationships than we do.
Please take a look, forward to the appropriate person in the ENRON legal

Things may come in a little differently because of Profile Manager (my direct
input into the EOL System). I will now only see amendments to counterparties
that have already been approved, thru Profile Manager, they will not be
coming in thru the spreadsheets any more. So, on amendments that affect
power, I am going to have to send you an email about the change.
For the above counterparty, we originally had them open for power sales
only. Now, Credit is coming back thru wanting to open them up for the bid
and the offer. Do you want to change the earlier approval from power sales
only, or open them up all the way? | {

I took care of the Executive Viewer. I talked to Frank and apparently
Lavorato wants to see the Canadian breakout next week. I already have
everything set up to do the positions, but we need to work on Canada to get

left a message for Kathy to call me. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

To Mr. Ken Lay,
I'm writing to urge you to donate the millions of dollars you made from selling Enron stock before the company declared bankruptcy to funds, such as Enron Employee Transition Fund and REACH, that benefit the company's employees, who lost their retirement savings, and provide relief to low-income consumers in California, who can't afford to pay their energy bills. Enron and you made millions out of the pocketbooks of California consumers and from the efforts of your employees.
Indeed, while you netted well over a $100 million, many of Enron's employees were financially devastated when the company declared bankruptcy and their retirement plans were wiped out. And Enron made an astronomical profit during the California energy crisis last year. As a result, there are thousands of consumers who are unable to pay their basic energy bills and the largest utility in the state is bankrupt.
The New York Times reported that you sold $101 million worth of Enron stock while aggressively urging the company's employees to keep buying it. Please donate this money to the funds set up to help repair the lives of those Americans hurt by Enron's underhanded dealings.
Sincerely,

We had a wonderful, quiet weekend. The wine was very good. I drank it
without food, as it was nice and light, which is how I like my reds. It
would have been good with a tomato based pasta, I think.
How do I find out how much vacation I have? I know there's a system on the
intranet. I want to plan some time off this year, if possible. I know how
difficult it can get the longer I wait.
Thursday I won't be in until around noon. More Michael stuff.

Mark/Greg,
Please confirm your interest and availability to set aside 30 minutes, or so
Dec 6, 7 or 8, for me in Houston this week.
I am in a final phase of an expat re-assignment or relocation and would like
to discuss with you:
Enron's pricing, structuring and position-taking capability for South America
etc.,.. expected to be in place from the year 2000, at least in power in
Brazil.
Failure/Successes and immediate opportunities in the Enron Brazil and South
America core (gas, power) and multiple commodity commercial effort(s),
including e-business/Networks issues.
Finance expertise - the critical role that functional groups like Enron
Metals' (Trade and Structure Finance Group) and the Global Markets
Insurance/Global Risk groups will (need to) play in helping develop critical,
internal Enron finance, risk assessment and mitigation expertise to support
the competitiveness and viability of closing commercial transactions in South
America and elsewhere
My priority to help form and be re-assigned to a "Bundle Products"
Origination business unit designed to initiate transactions which
specifically and formally leverage synergies across Enron Business Units - to
potentially include in Brazil, at least, power, pulp & paper, steel networks,
crude and products, and insurance/global risk.
Please find attatched files which detail some of my ideas for developing the
core gas and power trading and origination efforts and including the Bundled
Product unit. The files were appropriately forwarded to Dave/John.
I have also attatched my CV should you be interested to review my background
and experience and mention, as a reminder, that a meeting is critical in
potentially determining the outcome of my expat re-assignment or re-location
process, needed to be concluded this month, Dec 2000.
Thank you for any efforts extended in my behalf. | {

Chris,
This spread sheet contains the new WIC meters, as discussed. I also
discovered that there are about 200 meters we current get manually for CIG
that also need to be added to the database. They are included in the
attached file on separate sheets. Meters already existing in the database
are not included for either pipe. Can you please dump these into the
database and set up additional sheets in the Socal manual entry spreadsheet
for these meters. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Subject: California 1/26/01
Executive Summary:
AB18X is the focal legislative point for the proposed bailout plan, but
contains several problems.
Per yesterday's morning report, the bill includes a plan in which the
utilities would issue stock warrants in exchange for financial assistance
from the state.
The bill will be subject to attacks from consumer groups, which will slow its
passage. Timing is crucial because of the February 7th deadline for the FERC
emergency order and the February 13th deadline for debt forbearance.
The bill also contains little detail about costs. The cost of the bailout
cannot be determined until the final auction results are known and the
utilities reach a deal with Davis with respect to the share of outstanding
debt that must be paid by the parent companies of the utilities.
Sources report that Davis will insist that at least 43 percent of the
outstanding PG&E/SoCal debt should be absorbed by the parent corporations.
1. AB18X- The "Bailout" Bill
There are a number of key problems with AB18X.
The bill is being presented by its drafters as a "work in progress." The
current bill is likely to be significantly different next week after consumer
groups blast it in committee hearings and in the press. Also, the fiscal
effect of the bill is listed as "unknown", because the costs of the long-term
contracts being bid upon in the auction are not yet known. Moreover, the
audit of the utilities and its recommendation for the share of utility debt
to be paid by the state versus the parent companies is not yet finalized (see
below).
The industrial users are unhappy with this bill because they will bear the
burden of the costs. Approximately 35% of power customers in CA are
residential, and another approximately 10% are commercial or users with
emergency status; this means that half or more of all power customers in CA
will benefit from price controls on their power. This, in turn, leaves the
large industrial customers footing the bill. They are saying that this may
result in job losses and may even give them incentive to leave the state.
The State of California is talking about issuing revenue bonds to pay off the
utilities, debt. There is an important but subtle difference between these
and general obligation bonds, which draw from tax revenues and assets to pay
debt. Revenue bonds draw from the revenue gained from actually using
something. For example, a stadium developer might issue revenue bonds to pay
for a new stadium, then make revenue from the team that uses the stadium.
How will that work in the case of the utilities? There is no guarantee that
there will be positive revenue to pay back the bonds.
California,s interruptible power contracts have a 100-hour/year limit. Most
of those contracts are at or near that limit and will become firm power
contracts. This removes another option for finding power.
2. The Audit:
Many of the details in AB18X are subject to the results of the audit and the
power auction. Governor Davis has commissioned a study which shows that 43
percent of the PG&E and SoCal Edison debt is owed to their parent companies.
He views this as the minimum acceptable percentage that the parent companies
should contribute to a bailout.
The companies cannot simply eat the cost of their inter-company debt. They
do not have the cash to do so. The question becomes, if the subsidiaries,
bills are not paid, will they be forced to go into bankruptcy?
3. The Auction:
As told by us to some of you yesterday afternoon and as reported by the Wall
Street Journal this morning, the low bids that have been announced from
Wednesday,s auction are based on off-peak power. This is why they are so
low. It is estimated that if Davis were to include off-peak power, the bids
would be closer to 9.5 cents per kilowatt hour.
Governor Davis is not disclosing the "true bid price" because to do so would
not be "in the public interest." While they legally can keep the auction
terms secret, this makes an excellent bluff to try to get other power
providers to bid lower for peak power.
Since the real cost of power is higher than the auction price is making it
appear, this means that there may actually be little or no margin between
where the state buys power and where the utilities sell it. No margin would
mean no funds to pay down utility debt.
4. The Rest of the West
The federal order for other states to supply CA with power requires Oregon
and Washington to draw down their own reservoirs. The people of OR and WA
are understandably upset about this. It is not clear how much longer this
can continue, as reservoir levels continue to drop.
The problem is the drought impacting the entire Northwest is not getting any
better even as Washington and Oregon hydroelectric plants dump water through
their dams to keep the lights on this winter. Officials in these states are
now bracing for electricity surcharges that could hit 50% by mid-summer and
increase the casualties on the dot-com laden killing field. Cities from
Seattle to Tacoma and beyond are already passing legislation that scales in
electricity surcharges that high and more. Seattle raised prices by 10% the
first of January, with a further, emergency 18% increase is set to pass the
city council on Monday. And city political officials warn that another 25%
increase would be in effect by mid-summer -- unless the federal government
agrees to plans by the western governors to request an emergency price cap
for the summer.
Although the Clinton administration and Bush administration steadfastly
refused to impose such a price cap when Governor Davis requested it many
times in the last month, western governors told our sources that they hope
the political and economic considerations will change by late spring.
"Although FERC head Hebert is a free-market freak," one government official
told our sources, "this is very different than the price cap request
California made. First, you could legitimately say California's problems stem
from their screwed up de-regulation plan. But the west's problems this summer
stem from a drought, and that is significantly different. Second, the Bush
administration may want to punish Davis with thoughts of 2004 presidential
politics in their head, but that will not apply to all of us across the
Northwest and Southwest. We have a lot of Republicans on the hook here.
Third, even if you think damage to the US economy from California's troubles
won't be that great, the damage of 50% energy surcharges rolling across the
entire western United States from Arizona to Washington has to get Bush's --
or at least Cheney's -- attention."
There is almost no snowpack in most of the northwest, according to these
officials, so the usual rebuilding of water reserves necessary to generate
electricity will not occur. Add to that the fact Northwest dams are being run
harder than usual to keep up with the maxed-out energy demands across the
west ,and you have the makings of a mid-summer economic disaster. "The
reservoir behind Grand Coulee dam (the country's largest) is dropping at a
foot a day since New Year's and there is no sign of that slowing," one
official told our sources. | {

Insight Capital Closes Fourth Fund With $740 Million
mail? top
NEW YORK (VENTUREWIRE) -- Insight Capital Partners, a venture capital firm
focused on software companies, said it closed its fourth venture capital
fund, Insight Capital Partners IV, with more than $740 million. Managing
director Scott Maxwell said the fund, originally targeted between $700
million and $750 million when Insight began fundraising last June, will make
typical investments of $20 million in expansion-stage enterprise software
companies over the next three years, with about 15% of the investments made
internationally. According to Mr. Maxwell between 30% and 40% of the fund's
capital came from new limited partners with the rest coming from returning
LPs. The firm has no plans to deviate from its original model. "Software is
the space we're founded on and the space that's thriving," said Mr. Maxwell.
"We pick the absolute best ten or so software companies each year that will
bring in the best revenues and spend an enormous amount of time on them."
Insight IV has already invested in Enigma, ConnectCapital Holdings, Dorado
Software, and Xchange. The firm's other managing directors include Jeff
Horing, Jerry Murdock, Bill Doyle, Peter Sobiloff, and Deven Parekh. Insight
Capital Partners closed its first $15 million fund in June 1996, an $81
million fund in July 1997, and its third fund at $307 million in March 1999.
Insight has approximately $1.5 billion under management.

Whitney & Co. to Spin Off International Offices
mail? top
STAMFORD, Conn. (VENTUREWIRE) -- Whitney & Co., a Stamford, Conn.-based
venture capital firm, will spin off its offices in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and
London, VentureWire has learned. "They're closing all international offices,"
said a source close to the firm. The source said Whitney will contract with
individuals in each office to oversee the existing portfolio companies.
Earlier this month, Whitney announced closing its fifth fund at $1.1 billion,
short of its $2 billion target. At the time, the firm said it would
significantly reduce overseas personnel as well as lay off an undisclosed
number of employees at its headquarters. Whitney representatives did not
return calls for this story. According to the source the overseas offices
will effectively operate independent of Whitney. "Each international office
will raise its own fund and use the Whitney name, but actually have no
connection with Whitney, almost like a franchise," said the source. Whitney
will get a portion of each fund's carry, the source said.

Rho Ventures Closes Fund IV with $435 Million
mail? top
NEW YORK (VENTUREWIRE) -- Rho Ventures, a New York venture capital firm,
said it closed its fourth fund, Rho Ventures IV, with commitments of $435
million. The fund will invest in companies seeking seed through
development-stage funding in a range of sectors including information
technology, telecommunications and biotech. According to general partner Mark
Leschly, the fund will typically invest between $10 million and $15 million
in each company over the course of more than one round. Rho Ventures IV is
the firm's first fund opened to institutional investors, including pension
funds, banks, and insurance companies. "It was a different landscape, but we
raised it fairly quickly," said Mr. Leschly. "We came out above target and
we're very pleased." Rho Ventures' previous funds were backed by wealthy
families from the U.S. and Europe. A number of the previous limited partners
returned to invest in Rho IV. The fund, originally targeted for $400 million,
opened last summer and made a first close in September with $225 million from
its returning limited partners. Credit Suisse First Boston served as the
firm's placement agent. Mr. Leschlyl said he expects to commit the capital
within two to three years. Other general partners at the firm include Habib
Kairouz and Joshua Ruch. Rho's previous fund closed in May 1999 with $183
million. The firm currently has $1 billion under management. Its latest fund
has invested in four companies to date including Applied Science Fiction,
Archemix, Intralinks, and Xtera.

Fabless Semiconductor Firm Quake Raises $30M Round Two
mail? top
OTTAWA (VENTUREWIRE) -- Quake Technologies, a fabless semiconductor company
developing chips for high-speed optical networking applications, said it has
raised $30 million in its second round of funding, led by Bowman Capital.
Bowman was joined by other new investors Cisco Systems, Emerging Alliance
Fund, and Mitsubishi. Previous investor Mohr Davidow Ventures also
participated in this round and maintained its position as the largest
investor in Quake. Skypoint Capital, a previous investor in Quake, did not
participate in this round. Dan Trepanier, Quake's president and CEO, said the
company will use the funding to increase production by expanding research and
production and accelerating product delivery. Mr. Trepanier also said the
latest funding will take Quake to profitability, but he declined to say when
he expects that to happen. Quake plans to increase its workforce from 70 to
about 90 before the end of the year by expanding its operations and sales
force. The company has raised $48 million in venture capital to date. Chris
DePuy, a general partner at Bowman Capital and newly appointed Quake
director, said his firm first learned about Quake from a referral from Mohr
Davidow. While he declined to discuss valuation, Mr. DePuy said pricing was
influenced by the current performance of fabless semiconductor companies in
the stock market, other recent private transactions in the industry, and
Quake's progress since it closed its first round. Mr. Trepanier said Quake's
valuation increased in this round, but declined to comment further. Quake has
no plans at present to raise a third round.

BETHESDA, Md. (VENTUREWIRE) -- SpeedGreetings, which designs, prints, and

round from investors including Mail2000, a subsidiary of the United States
Postal Service (USPS). Private investors, including former U.S. postmaster
general Paul Carlin also participated. The funds will be used for sales and
marketing and the addition of sales and technology staff. The company also
named four new members to the now six-member board: Mr. Carlin, who was the
66th Postmaster and helped pass the Postal Reorganization Act, which created
the current USPS; John Kuiper, the COO of Mail2000 and former managing
director of the print/mail business at TNT Post Group; Loren E. Smith, the
chairman of Perquia and the former chief marketing officer of the U.S. Postal
Service; and Marvin Runyon, also a former postmaster general, who currently
heads The Runyon Group. Mr. Runyon was also the founding president and CEO of
Nissan Motor Manufacturing Corp. USA. SpeedGreetings is advised by Washington
law firm Holland & Knight. It was founded in July 1999 by CEO Chris Baynes
and vice president of operations, Andrew Johnson. The company held a seed
round in December 1999 and raised $750,000 from Mail2000 and private
investors. The company is currently generating revenues and expects to break
even in the fourth quarter. It launched its Web site in March.

Bertelsmann Buys Ailing Digital Music Storage Firm MyPlay
mail? top
NEW YORK (VENTUREWIRE) -- The German media conglomerate Bertelsmann has
agreed to acquire MyPlay, a Redwood City, Calif.-based developer of digital
music storage technologies. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed but
the deal has been reported to be worth about $30 million. MyPlay, which was
backed by investors including Institutional Venture Partners, Integral
Capital Partners, and Vulcan Ventures to the tune of about $23 million, was
involved in serious acquisition talks with Yahoo! last year. The asking price
during those discussions was $200 million before they fell apart in July
2000. Bertelsmann spokesperson Alexander Adler said the acquisition by
Bertelsmann would enable the German media group to launch a unified music
service, called BeMusic, which would combine its online and offline music
subsidiaries, including its BMG Music Group, its online retailer CDNow, and
MyPlay. The acquisition, according to Mr. Adler, will have no effect on
Bertelsmann's relationship with Napster. Bertelsmann has been alone among
major record labels in supporting the embattled music-swapping service and
has the option to become a major investor in Napster. Mr. Adler said the
acquisition of MyPlay was not a reaction to Vivendi Universal's acquisition
of MP3.com for $372 million last week. According to Mr. Adler, Bertelsmann
had been in discussions with MP3.com as well as MyPlay and decided to go with
the smaller -- and cheaper -- firm. "We were not interested in acquiring a
brand," Mr. Adler said, also noting that the price of the MyPlay acquisition
was less than purchases made by Bertelsmann competitors. Mr. Adler is
confident that the competition is healthy for the industry but he added that
Bertelsmann has $1 billion in revenue projected for the first year of the
BeMusic service and 6.5 million users already. Mr. Adler said that the
executive team would remain on board to operate MyPlay as a subsidiary of
Bertelsmann. He indicated that there would be no restructuring associated
with the acquisition, due in part to the February 200 layoffs of 41% of
MyPlay's staff. The company currently has 35 employees.

Labor Day weekend . . .
I'm up for whatever you, Jenn, Jeff, Clarke . . . and Gerald, of course . .
. want to do. I'll go to bars, parks, concerts, rodeos, restaurants,
beaches, museums and/or just stay at your house. Whatever. I can't imagine
that anything you guys want to do would be something that I would be against
doing. And, if it is then I'll just have something to give you shite about
for the rest of your life.
The Flight:
Northwest Airlines flight #0198 from Minneapolis . . . arrives Thurs Aug 30
@ 4:15 p.m.
Northwest Airlines flight #1277 departs Houston Mon Sept 3 @ 1:05 p.m.
I believe it is a Northwest flight -- not a Continental connection. The
website and my e-ticket say nothing about Continental.
Again, if providing a ride from/to the airport at those times presents a
problem because of traffic and/or your jobs I don't mind taking a cab --
just let me know. If no one is around on Friday because you're at work
that's no big deal either -- you don't need to make special arrangements for
me.
Continental Cozumel 2002 vacation pricing is supposed to available on the
web beginning Wednesday I think. FYI.
I'll be leaving here early today as the Bud Tent awaits me at the Fair. Oh,
my -- I'm thirsty & hungry.

Under doctors care, the employee is paid 4 wks at 100% of their base, granted
that no sick time has been taken prior to the maternity leave. If the doctor
requires her to be off work before her due date, this time would be coded as
sick. Even after delivery and still under doctors care you would code her
sick time. until the doctor releases her to return to work. Once she has
been released by the doctor Carol has the option to take time off using any
vacation available or could take FMLA leave (if she qualifies ) with
supervisor approval.

While our webserver up here hasn't been hammered yet, I've been concerned
about similar issues (web hardware and administration) for awhile up here.
Given that the web is our primary medium I agree with you and Tim that it's been
neglected.
Administration is an ongoing issue and I'm not sure what a good solution for this is,
but relying on Houston for this is not an option as far as I'm concerned (unless they
change their draconian policies). At the moment Chris Wiebe is officially administrating
our web/file server, but I don't think this is where his interests lie, so I've been relying
on Colin for most day-to-day admin. This isn't great since Colin is a contractor. We should
definitely team up on this one as I don't think IIS administration is even a quarter-time job,
but it is vital. I'm in a similar spot on SQL Server issues - Chris is the admin, but he's moving
more toward the development side of IT with each passing week.
In terms of hardware, I've been in touch with Houston through Dan Dietrich and spoke
with a helpful individual who is responsible for web servers down there. He sent me
the following documentation standard which I hope I forwarded onto you (as it's quite
good). I'm pushing to move to the Houston standard for web servers which is two
clustered pizza boxes (DL360s). I just got the price quote for these and it would be
about 9000 US$ for the two boxes (basically dual proc PIII 930, 512 MB RAM, 2 9GB drives)
You mentioned moving the dev environment from prod, but I'm not sure if you're interested
in splitting the web from the file server. I think this is a good idea (more for file server reliability
than anything else.) There's some time critical data up here that we can't recover if we
miss it the first time, so I'm trying to make the backend as fault-tolerant as possible. plus,
it seems like it's likely a cheap performance and fault tolerance boost for the web, as well.
Sorry to hear about your web troubles yesterday, but hopefully it will serve as a catalyst
for us to clean things up.
Should we set up a call to talk about this?

Subject: Servers & Administration
Cooper -
You may or may not be aware that our production web server got hit pretty hard yesterday. It has yet to be "officially" determined what happened, so I won't give you my opinion... however, many issues that have been festering for some time were brought into the spot light through this ordeal.
At this point, Tim H. and I have agreed on two immediate actions that will be taken.
1) Our development server needs to be moved to a separate physical box. This will serve as the back-up and fail-over server as well.
2) Paul Kane and I will pursue IIS administration and security training/certification.
It is our firm intention that any and all administration on either of these boxes will be done by us -- not Houston. Although, this argument has yet to take place.
In light of the working relationship between PDX and Calgary (that we only anticipate growing stronger through this), I would like to hear what conclusions you have come to with the research that you have done regarding hardware and software -- as well as any suggestions that you may have that we should consider. We want to make sure that, with whatever avenue is taken, we maintain a position of compatibility to share resources and technology with Calgary Fundies...
Thanks!

Subject: Upcoming Compensation Analysis
To All Energy Operations Directors:
My name is Todd Burke and I'm a Compensation Specialist with ENA Human
Resources (see attached bio). As you know, Sally Beck has requested that I
conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current pay arrangements for all
Energy Operations staff. The purpose of this analysis will be to ensure that
the department's current pay arrangements are in line with the competitive
marketplace. Each component of pay will be examined individually and within
the context of Enron's compensation philosophy (e.g., base salary, bonus,
long-term incentives and total compensation).
The process will begin with a series of interviews which will be conducted in
two stages:
Stage 1-Data Gathering: the focus of this stage will be upon gathering data
around your perceptions of your group's current pay arrangements and give you
the opportunity to address any of the internal and external inequities you
perceive to exist.
Stage 2-Job Matching: the focus of this stage will be on job matching - we
will establish a mutually agreed upon time to meet and discuss which
positions in our salary surveys most accurately reflect the roles and
responsibilities of your staff. We will not be able to match 100 percent of
your jobs to the jobs contained in the salary surveys. Non-benchmark jobs
will be reviewed using a job "slotting" approach.
To help facilitate the matching process, I will be assembling handouts
containing the job descriptions taken from the relevant salary surveys which
I will send to each of you in advance of our Stage 2 meeting. The intent
here is to give you the opportunity to "pre-match" your respective jobs
thereby minimizing the time required to achieve this objective during our
Stage 2 meeting. It will be critical that you are comfortable with the
matches that you agree to as these matches will be used when gathering
relevant market data. The data will only be as good as the matches.
Following the conclusion of Stage 2, I can begin gathering the market data
based on the results of the job matching exercise and prepare a comparative
analysis that I will be presenting to Sally Beck.
I will be contacting each of you in the next few days to set up the Stage 1
interviews. I look forward to working with each of you and to the successful
completion of this project.
Please call with any questions or comments. I can be reached at X39437.
Kind Regards,
Todd Burke

THE FINANCIAL EXPRESS, Monday, October 22, 2001
Dabhol seeks dismissal of MSEB's special leave petition, Sanjay Jog
The Dabhol Power Company (DPC), in its counter affidavit has appealed to the Supreme Court to dismiss the special leave petition filed by the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) against the Mumbai high court order with regard to invocation of letter of credit (L/C) of Rs 136 crore towards April power purchase bill by the DPC through its assignee, the Bank of America (BoA). The Supreme Court, which has stayed the Mumbai high court order on September 21, would hold hearing on November 2. However, MSEB in its reply has made it clear that it will face irrepairable loss and harm if DPC was allowed to draw a letter of credit. The invocation of letter of credit would also upset the financial equilibrium. "DPC ought not to be permitted to upset the status quo and financial equilibrium as it now seeks to do particularly after Supreme Court order of September 21," the board said.
The DPC has opposed the MSEB's pray to maintain status quo in view of May 29 order passed by the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (Merc) and later upheld by the high court and apex court with regard to reactivation of escrow account and proceed on international arbitration. According to the company, MSEB's claim of causing irrepairable harm in the wake of invocation of letter of credit was "unsupported by reference to any factual basis." The company has reiterated that the Merc was not a competent authority to adjudicate the dispute and difference between DPC and MSEB. "Any attempt to preserve status quo by freezing all payments and suspending all operations will have a contrary effect. MSEB is refusing to pay any payments. It has not paid since early May 2001," the company said.
However, MSEB has reiterated that the Merc's May 29 order has been issued keeping in view the interest of the power consumers of Maharashtra and its finding has not been disturbed by either Mumbai high court or Supreme Court. The Board has made out special equities. The DPC has reiterated its argument that the letter of credit was an independent contract and on June 21, 1999, it had irrevocably transferred its right under letter of credit to the Bank of America, which is a trustee as per the provisions of PPA. The Bank of America is likely to intervene in the matter and is expected to make a petition in this regard shortly. The letter of credit has been renewed from time to time. It was renewed on August 16, 2001 by the Canara Bank and its validity was extended up to May 2002. According to DPC, the invocation of letter of credit was necessary as sufficient funds would be made available in the onshore retention account to meet the debt service payment to be made to the lenders and meet DPC's other liabilities.

Addressing a district Congress meet at Satara on Saturday, Mr Deshmukh said: "Running the government for the past two years has meant walking the tight rope. I learnt to keep an ice-pack on my head and put sugar in my mouth while carrying out my responsibilities. That is why I am constantly smiling while doing my work and there is nothing wrong with it. Since there is no money in the treasury, the development work is moving at a slow pace and this is a fact. To add to it, I have to run an eight-party coalition government where it is difficult to predict who would be satisfied with a decision and who would not." He said the government would name a judge within a week for the judicial inquiry set up to probe the Enron imbroglio. "I am committed that the truth about Enron should come forth for it will be in the interest of the people. Within a week, we will announce the name of the judge to head the inquiry. The Congress is strong enough to weather the consequence of this decision. Even if we have to lose the government because of our decision, we will have no regrets," he said. The Nationalist Congress Party, which is a member of the Democratic Front government, has been insisting that the appointment of the judge be deferred and the state, along with the Centre, hold negotiations with Enron to resolve the issue. The party had asked Mr Deshmukh to defer the inquiry by two months.

Maharashtra govt seeks Lord Alexander at ?500 per hour, Sanjay Jog
The Maharashtra government's woes vis-a-vis the Dabhol Power Company (DPC) continue to mount. Additional financial burden is on the cards for the state government to the extent of Rs 8 crore as payment towards the Queen's counsel and solicitors. This is to vacate the ex-parte order granted by the London High Court of Justice restraining it from filing any suit in Indian courts against the international arbitration proceedings initiated by DPC. Senior state government sources told The Financial Express that the hunt is on for the appointment of a counsel based in London. And on the shortlist: leading Queen's Counsel Lord Alexander who is to be appointed soon. Sources said that Lord Alexander would plead the Maharashtra government's case before the London High Court of Justice (Queen's Bench division, Commercial Court).
But the good Lord Alexander's services come at a price. The state coffers are none-too-healthy. Efforts, therefore, are on so that Lord Alexander's services can be contracted at 500 sterling pounds per hour instead of the quoted 750 sterling pounds per hour. The state authorities, on their part, have appointed Messers DLA as its solicitors to provide back-up support to Lord Alaxander, and a resolution has already been issued to this extent. The government's solicitors in India, Rafiq Dada, Amit Harayani and Darious Khambata would brief DLA and Lord Alexander. According to sources, Messers DLA has also been appointed as solicitors for the government during the international arbitration proceedings initiated by DPC. The DPC has served arbitration notices for the violation of State Support Agreement, Supplemental State Support Agreement and Government of Maharashtra Guarantee. The hourly rates at which fees would be paid to DLA are as follows: senior partner 325 pounds, junior partner 300 pounds, senior advocate 235 pounds, assistant 180 pounds and paralegal/trainees at 100 pounds. These rates would be discounted at between five per cent to 10 per cent for lawyers in their offices outside London. The London court in its ex-parte order of October 10 has restrained the state government from filing any suit in the Indian court to challenge the international arbitration proceedings initiated by the DPC.
Simultaneously, the government has been prohibited from filing any suit with regard to fraud against DPC. The DPC had earlier pointed out that the injunction ordered by the London court "facilitates the timely and impartial review by the international arbitration panel of the dispute between DPC and Government of Maharashtra dealing with its failure to comply with its obligations under the state guarantee and the state support and supplemental state support agreements". However, the anti-Enron lobby has alleged that the London's order has created a disadvantageous situation for the State where it would be unable to defend itself in the writ-petitions with respect to its disputes with the DPC and to which, it has been made a party pending before various courts and tribunals.

DPC for written undertaking from Maharashtra govt
US energy major Enron's Dabhol Power Company has demanded a written undertaking from Maharashtra government stating that it will not file a civil suit against the multinational as it was not a party to the power purchase agreement.. "Any attempt by the Government of Maharashtra to file a civil suit agaisnt DPC in which the Power Purchase Agreement is impeached, is precisely that which it undertook not to do as per the terms of the final consent award of December 1996", DPC's legal firm Linklaters and Alliance have said in a letter dated October 16 to Maharashtra government's lawyers M/s Hariyani & Co.Referring to a media report, Linklaters has warned Maharashtra government that it was "not and has not ever been a party to the power purchase agreement signed between DPC and Maharashtra State Electricty Board"."Accordingly, any civil suit such as that being referred (in the media report) must relate to the agreement to which the GoM is party, namely the guarantees", the letter said. The firm said, it wanted a "written undertaking" from GoM that it will not file a civil suit against DPC in respect of any disputes arising out or in connection with any three GoM agreements, but that any such dispute would be referred to arbitration in accordance with arbitration agreements. The media report has quoted the state as saying that Queen's Court in London did not enjoy jurisdiction to issue an injunction restraining it from filing a suit against in India against on-going international proceedings, Linklaters said.
The US energy major's legal firm said, "DPC simply could not understand how the state government is not enjoined from filing a civil suit against DPC of the sort described in the article". The multinational has also filed a suit in the London Queen's Court alleging that GoM had breached the consent agreement which it had entered with itself in 1996. On October 10, DPC dealt a legal blow to Maharashtra by obtaining an injunction from Commerical Court of London, restraining the state from filing a suit in India challenging international arbitration proceedings to be held in UK. The injuction was obtained due to the state's failure to comply with its obligations under GoM guarantee dated February 10, 1994, state support agreement dated June 24, 1994 and supplemental state support agreement dated July 27, 1996. "Over the last few months, Maharashtra and other government entities have taken actions to aviod complying with their contractual oblogations. This has frustrated the rights of international investors that were legally agreed to by the relevant parties several years ago", DPC said. Meanwhile, the state administration is gearing up to present its case before the London commercial court with a team comprising of lawyers, state energy secretary V M Lal and MSEB chief Vinay Bansal leaving for London on October 29.

THE INDIAN EXPRESS, Monday, October 22, 2001
Why Enron needs to simply 'Lay Off', Ramesh Chauhan
Surfing the net, the other day, I came across an interesting debate. It emanated from a comment made by the California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, who is investigating the energy crisis in that state and has offered hundreds of millions of dollars in reward for information about law breaking in the energy business. It is a comment that has had the gay rights groups, the prisoners' rights groups and assorted other civil liberties groups up in arms. But it has even more interesting import for India. So what is the comment anyway? Well talking about Enron and the way the energy major conducts its business Lockyer said, 'I would love to personally escort (Enron Corp chairman Kenneth) Lay to an 8 x 10 cell that he could share with a tattooed dude who says, Hi honey! My name is Spike'.
Remember, this is the AG of the State of California. Not some money grabbing, 'property expropriating' communist ideologue from a third world country. Does he know something that we in India don't? Enron Corp has its back to the wall and has made it abundantly clear that it is desperate to get out of India. Good riddance all of us would say, except for the caveats attached for this exit. It has been claimed the project has been financed using a combination of debt (about $2.2 billion odd) and the rest by equity. The equity number varies from time to time, but their claim is about billion plus, perhaps as much as 1.2 billion. Enron wants the equivalent of 1.2 billion odd dollars (about Rs 6,000 crore) to make an exit. On the face of it this would seem to be a perfectly reasonable argument. After all as a businessmen, if I want to exit a project mid-way, the least I expect the buyer to pay is what I have invested in the project. But herein lies the problem.
If these numbers were correct, then the project cost of Dabhol is now adds up about $3.4 billion that is, the equivalent of $1.7 million per MW. This would have the dubious honour of the MOST expensive gas fired power station in the history of the world and winning the honours without even a close competitor. Let us keep the Enron issue aside for a minute and look at three power plants that were set up over the last eight years in our part of the world. Seoinchon, Korea has a 2,000 MW combined cycle gas turbine plant. In every technical sense, it is a clone of the Dabhol Plant. The same GE STAG 207FA turbines are being used, as those in the Dabhol plant. Guess what is the cost of the plant? $900 million or $0.45 million/MW! Less than a third of the Dabhol cost.
Again in Korea, construction of the 2,000 MW combined cycle gas turbine plant at Poryong began in 1996 and the plant was commissioned in 1999. And the price. $850 million or $0.425 million/MW! Interestingly, the efficiency of the Pryong power plant is 60 per cent, while that of Dabhol is effectively 48 per cent. As recently as this month, Malaysian state-owned utility Tenaga Nasional Bhd signed a PPA to buy power from Malakoff Bhd for its 640-MW project. The project's cost are estimated at about $370 million or about $0.58/MW. This is slightly higher than the other two examples, but bigger plant would always be cheaper due to efficiencies of size. Prayas, a tiny, three-member NGO from Pune, has studied project costs of about 40,000 MW of power projects between 1991 and 1998. The average project cost was in the region of $0.6 million/MW and this included small 30 MW plants as well.
As a businessman, the cost of electricity matter to me to run my business efficiently. The main reason for my interest in the subject is the ridiculously high cost of power and the decline of competitiveness on this among other reasons. As a matter of interest, the energy from the Malaysian PPA is slated to be delivered at energy prices of about 3.2 cents/kWh under a 21-year PPA that is about Rs 1.54/unit. This represents the cheapest power on this side of the world and less than a one-third of both Enron as well as the price my plants pay today. So let us look at the calculations for investment in Dabhol again. $900 million is cost of an identical plant (the first Korean one of the same size and using identical turbines that is nearly a clone). 'Wait a minute,' you may ask me here, 'but did Enron not spend more money.' Yes we would probably need to factor some 'additional' costs.
Let us add the cost of the LNG jetty, the regassification terminal and other add ons. (By the way these had very little to do with the Dabhol Power Plant. The LNG jetty was to the cornerstone of Enron's energy distribution business in India. But like any good supplier Enron billed all of it's costs to its client-Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB)- which like any good public sector unit agreed to pay for things it did not need in the first place). Even with these add ons, the capital costs (proportionately) to MSEB ought not exceed $1.2 billion. Now doing business in India is particularly difficult. As Enron itself said, it had to spend a lot of money to 'educate' Indian decision makers. ('Educating' IDBI and ICICI on how to lend. So let us assume that the cost of doing business in India is an additional one or two per cent of project costs -two per cent in this case, adds another 24 million-Enron had of course claimed about 20 million in these 'additional' costs (in other words 'over and above project costs'-the now infamous 'education monies' of 20 million). The figure does not budge. 1,224 million. This represents a difference of 250 odd per cent!
Let me be more generous and add, on say another 30 per cent to this-say $400 million. ($400 million is a very large number by the way, in today rupee terms nearly Rs 2,000 crore) for completely arbitrary costs. But this still brings us to $1,600 million odd. One would think the number above, $1,600 million, would be the cost of the project. However, we are not even close. Enron has claimed project costs to be nearly $3,400 million. I can think of perhaps a difference of a few per cent, but over a 100 per cent? The explanation perhaps lies in a little story that was related to a friend of mine. A few years ago, he was a consultant to an industrialist setting up a steel plant. He was looking at the numbers and felt that they did not add up. The industrialist put his head back, laughed and said, 'No one puts up projects in India so that you can make money after the project is commissioned and product starts selling. You put up a project so that you can make money while the project is being implemented'.
I suspect that is exactly what has happened in the Enron project. The missing $1.7 billion odd has been probably siphoned off by over invoicing and other time honoured tricks. In other words, Enron has already recovered all its money that it had invested and also made a very generous return on the money it actually invested. At this stage, instead of demanding money at all, Enron should be worrying about returning the siphoned money in equity, perhaps about $400 million, and additionally, the $400 million it owes MSEB a result of the breach of its contractual obligations. To summarise, an equitable settlement at this stage would be that Enron pays us $800 million (about Rs 3,800 crore) and in return, we agree to forget the whole issue! Three days after the tragic events of September 11, when not only America but the entire world was in a state of deep shock, Lay ought to be told to stop screaming 'expropriation' and threatening sanctions on us. Instead he ought to be grateful for small mercies, count the money he has already made and simply lay off. Otherwise he may have to worry about some Indian prosecution.

MSEB asked to rescind tariff hike plan, Vidyadha Date
The Maharashtra government has been announcing subsidy on electricity sold to farmers, powerloom owners and other categories but not actually passing on the benefit to the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB), the distribution agency. This has added to the financial problems of MSEB. The dues to be given to MSEB run into hundreds of crores of rupees. It includes a subsidy of Rs 700 crore for farmers, Rs 300 crores for powerloom operators, Rs 600 crore to municipal bodies for use of power for water supply and Rs 215 crore for the Mula Pravara cooperative electric distribution society.The chairperson of MSEB Vinay Bansal has appealed to the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission to ask the government to pay the arrears to MSEB. Mr Bansal was responding to opposition voiced by a number of representatives of domestic, commercial and powerloom consumers before the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) against the proposed power tariff? hike by MSEB. If it recovered the arrears and reduced its losses, MSEB could manage very well without any tariff increase, they said.Mr Bansal said the board suffered from various constraints. It could not cut off the power supply of municipal bodies because this would be in conflict with public interest. He said the board had improved its performance in various ways. There had been no load shedding in the past one week, he said. There had been no increase in arrears in the past one year as against the previous two years. MERC chairperson P. Subrahmanyam observed that the board was `more sinned against than sinning.' Its job was not easy and it could not improve its performance overnight, he said.
Experts during their submissions strongly opposed MSEB's move to increase tariff every year. S.R. Paranjpe, a former director of the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalapakkam, said his techno-economic evaluation of MSEB's working revealed several shortcomings and lapses. He said the board deliberately created the impression of a power shortage in the state last year in a bid to justify its purchase of power from Dabhol Power of Enron at exorbitant rates. The board resorted to deliberate load shedding as part of this exercise and in the process it lost revenue. Besides, sections which were getting? subsidised power were deprived of the supply. The power stations also? performed at an `under frequency' level posing several problems. The board should have resorted to demand and supply management. It should have asked farmers to consume power at night when the supply was easily available.When Dabhol company's power supply was reduced, MSEB's generation suddenly went up. This shows that earlier the board had deliberately operated below capacity. MSEB was disconnecting power supply to many consumers to show that it was taking action against defaulters. Yet, the consumption of power by consumers in these categories had gone up. It means, some consumers drew power from their neighbours unauthorisedly or resorted to some other means.
The small fry among them were being penalised while the big fish were being allowed to scot free, Mr Paranjpe said. Pradyumna Kaul, a management consultant and environmentalist, said MSEB had failed to improve its performance on the lines suggested by MERC last year. S.C. Karandikar, appearing on behalf of the Bhiwandi citizens' welfare society, complained that powerloom owners in Bhiwandi were unjustifiably being given a bad name. He faulted the MSEB on several counts and showed photographs depicting the sorry state of transformers in the town. He also complained that Bhiwandi experienced daily power cuts for three hours in morning and three hours in evening.He said transmission and distribution losses of the board had gone up, though the commission had stipulated last year that they be brought down. Some consumers also alleged that the MSEB was claiming subsidy from the government even for power not supplied to subsidised consumers. Pratap Hogade, vice-president of state Janata Dal (secular), called for? rejection of the entire tariff proposal. It was wrong to penalise consumers for the inadequacies of the board, he said. The board's deficit and its expenditure had gone up instead of going down. The commission should not allow frequent tariff revisions. More reprehensible, he said, was that the board had sought to effect the maximum increase for ordinary consumers, including domestic users, small traders, farmers and gram panchayats. Those using two or three bulbs face an increase of almost 250 per cent, Mr Hogade said. | {

Folks. I'm working on it, but it's going to require quite a bit of work. Please chk your emails later this evening for the next draft. I'll page folks--those with pagers, that is--to notify when I've emailed it. Scott, please inform Hedy and Bev.
