Please follow up with this. Jeff ---------------------- Forwarded by Jeffrey A Shankman/HOU/ECT on 10/02/2000 02:18 PM --------------------------- Rick Bergsieker@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT 09/25/2000 11:50 AM To: Jeffrey A Shankman@ECT, Mike McConnell/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Doug Arnell At our LNG coordination meeting in London last Friday, I asked Doug Arnell to be the point person tocoordinate the assembly of a quick data base of all of our LNG sources and uses and ship availability over the next several years. He will work with Merritt Thomas, Brad Hitch and Eric Groves and will coordinate all of his work with Eric Gonzales. The purpose of this exercise is to give us, in light of the fact that we do not have an operational LNG book, a quick picture of the overall situation so that we can make some quick calls on Hoegh Galleon, Abu Dhabi etc. I have noted that Doug has since started copying the two of you on lots of emails. I will ask him to take the two of you out of the details on this for now so that we don't overload your email inboxes, unless you want to see all of the details. I will screen the emails and forward you info to keep you in the loop but at a higher altitude without all of the gory details. Please advise

They've recently obtained a City of Farmington pledge of public funds (a precursor to a formal bond issue) to underpin the financing. To refresh your memory, this project is another "trigeneration" project. Ameramex will use the waste steam from the electric generation turbines to heat a hydroponic lettuce farm, as well as use the combustion carbon dioxide. We've previously provided a route map and estimate (0.75 mi. of 4" pipe, $486K direct/indirect cost) to Ameramex. Ameramex's financing deal is now dependent upon completion of the interconnect and commencement of service in approx. 7 months. To this end, Ameramax has requested a walk through of the potential route and a revised (if necessary) estimate of the cost to interconnect. There are several other issues to be dealt with here, including what is the final deal structure; including whether TW may possibly providing interim financing until the issuance of the muni bonds. Rick Moore would like to get together with myself and representatives of operations and/or engineering to survey the route and decide on the ultimate design/configuration of facilities. Depending on the outcome of the survey, he'd like a formal proposal for TW for financing the construction of the lateral and interconnect facilities. Ron, since you provided all the prior facility planning support, I'd like for you to continue providing the liason support to TW Commercial on this project. I'll also be calling on the San Juan Team to work with you and engineering to optimize the design/routing of this interconnect/lateral pipeline. I'll work with the customer to set-up a site meeting when you return to work after 2/5/01. To bring you and others up to speed, I've included a couple of the original email(s) giving a little more detail on the estimate and a map of the route: Ronald Matthews 06/16/2000 03:32 PM To: Jeffery Fawcett/ET&S/Enron@ENRON cc: Terry Galassini/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Rich Jolly/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, David Roensch/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Team San-Juan/ET&S/Enron@ENRON Subject: Amerimex Energy Farms Project Jeff, I talked with the San Juan team and came up with a pipeline route to the proposed Energy Farms site located in S1/2 SE1/4 Sec. 13, T29N, R11W, and the NE1/2 NE1/4 Sec. 24, T29N, R11W all in San Juan County, NM. Per the correspondence, Energy Farms is looking at a delivery around 15 MMcf/d. The best approach to serving this load would be to take gas from the suction side of Bloomfield CS. The 4" pipeline would start there a travel about 0.75 miles to the northwest section of the proposed site (see attached map). A metering facility would be located at the beginning of the pipeline still inside of TW's property along with the other meter facilities. Below is a breakdown of the facility cost. Estimated costs are + 30% and would have to be refined. 0.75 miles of 4" pipeline & side valve $286,500 4" orifice meter run w/ gallagher flow $199,900 conditioner, & flow control $486,400 There is a possibility that the meter facility costs could be lower by using an existing metering header system but a more detailed review would be required. Please feel free to call if you have any questions. I will send you a copy of the estimated costs for both the pipeline and measurement since they can't be attached. Jeffery Fawcett 04/18/2000 11:37 AM To: Steven Harris/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Kevin Hyatt/ET&S/Enron@Enron, Susan Scott/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Lorraine Lindberg/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, TK Lohman/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Christine Stokes/ET&S/Enron@ENRON cc: Ronald Matthews/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Terry Galassini/ET&S/Enron@ENRON Subject: Amerimex Bloomfield Project Attached see a note I sent to Rick Moore. Rick works for a company called Amerimex. Rick and I worked together in gas supply at EPNG ("the early years"). Amerimex is a developer of "trigeneration" projects. In addition to the subject project for Bloomfield, another one is being considered for Santa Theresa, N.M. If you recall, we were introduced to trigeneration when we were discussing an electric generation plant on the site of a hydroponic tomato greenhouse near Gallup. Trigeneration is an environmentally friendly technology that utilizes the "byproducts" of electric generation. "Cogeneration" refers to the process where waste heat/steam generated during the combustion of gas turbines is sold commercially (usually to manufacturing facilities) for plant purposes. "Trigeneration," on the other hand, refers the process where not only is the waste heat/steam utilized, but also the carbon dioxide. Therefore, trigeneration is a perfect fit for a greenhouse that requires both heat and carbon dioxide for the plants. Amerimex has proposed a hydroponic lettuce greenhouse in the Bloomfield, N.M. area. The facility, to be constructed turnkey by United Technologies, would have a nominal rating of 70 MW, resulting in a gas burn of about 15 MMcf/d. The plant would require gas deliveries at approx. 500 psig. The outtake power would be sold both locally and on the grid using a TriStates 69kv transmission line that is proximate to the site. Given the "politically correct" nature of these facilities, the City of Farmington has agreed to fund construction with a $70MM bond. As you can see, we're in the very earliest stages of conversation. We'll keep the group posted on progress. ---------------------- Forwarded by Jeffery Fawcett/ET&S/Enron on 04/18/2000 10:38 AM --------------------------- Jeffery Fawcett 04/18/2000 10:38 AM To: [email protected] cc: Ronald Matthews/ET&S/Enron@ENRON Subject: Amerimex Bloomfield Project Rick, It was really great visiting with you the other day. It never ceases to amaze me how small a world this is. I hope this project moves forward and we get the opportunity to work together again. Attached for your use is the schematic you spoke with Ron Matthews about. It's not too terribly detailed, so I don't know if it will be useful or not. We have much more detailed images of the Bloomfield area on our alignments, but without a legal description, we're a little blind. I don't know if you've had a chance to get the legal description for the proposed plant site yet or not, but if you have it, would you forward that on to me? We could then get started at not only putting together a rough cost estimate for the tap and meter, but we could begin looking for the best route for a lateral line between the facilities. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

FYI, see below. ---------------------- Forwarded by Ben Jacoby/HOU/ECT on 09/20/2000 06:43 PM --------------------------- Matthew Tezyk@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT 09/20/2000 06:13 PM To: Ben F Jacoby@ECT cc: Dan Shultz/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Mike Coleman/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Dick Westfahl/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT Subject: LM6000 Title Transfer Question Ben, Does ENA wish to accept Title of 14 LM6000's on September 26, 2000, or accept Title of these Units after each has been issued an Inspection Acceptance Certificate from EECC QA/QC department? The following is a summary of the LM6000 Title Transfer Question: Mike Storm, GE/SSEP Project Manager, requested from me, on 9/19/00, to accept title of 14 LM6000's no later 9/26/00. I informed him I was not authorized to make this decision and that I would contact the Owner to make the decision. I further informed Mike Storm that our Owner would not accept those terms and a compromise must be worked out. Contract Reference 15.2.1 of contract 24-LM6K-2-99 states: title transfers when equipment is ready to ship to the delivery point and seller notifies purchaser of such event. Delivery Point is defined as the SSEP storage yard. SSEP has notified us that Units #1-14 are "Ready to Ship". Contract Reference 10.2.3 of contract 24-LM6K-2-99 states: purchaser has the right to inspect the equipment for "completeness prior to loading on transport to delivery point". We have inspected the first eleven Units and have informed SSEP that Units #1-14 ARE NOT COMPLETE and therefore are NOT at the Delivery Point. FACT: Units # 1-11 are at the delivery point. #12-14 are at SSEP. FACT: If we sent a truck to SSEP tomorrow, NONE of the UNITS would be "Ready to Ship" to a project site. FACT: SSEP QA/QC has 15 Non Conformance Reports on these 14 turbines which need to be corrected before they are "Ready to Ship". It is in the best interests for both companies to correct the Non Conformance's prior to shipment to the delivery point or project site. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that we DO NOT accept Title until the Units are actually ready to be shipped to a project site. The problem is that NONE OF THE UNITS ARE READY TO SHIP! SSEP has to work off punchlist items which their QA/QC department has listed on Non Conformance Reports. At this juncture, no money can be withheld from SSEP. To ensure they will be fixed, Title should transfer after our QA/QC inspectors give written notice that each Unit is complete and ready to ship. This will protect ENA on the quality of the machines, as well as, ensure that little or no "re-work" is performed in the field. If you require further information or any assistance in this matter, please feel free to contact me at 713-646-8258. Matthew Tezyk Project Manager

Bryan, I have spoken with Steve Norris of Tembec about the above assignment. From the beginning, Credit has been perfectly willing to go along with this assignment as financial information and public debt ratings are available for the proposed assignee. Credit remains amenable. However, we have been waiting for documentation from Tembec effecting this assignment. On speaking with Steve, he suggested that Enron provide the documentation. After making some inquiries, it is my understanding that Enron does not provide these legal services for its counterparties. I have left a voice mail with Steve conveying this message.

As mentioned in our report last week, AB1X is expected to pass the Senate later this week. Lawmakers were busy over the weekend and yesterday marking up the bill. One change includes the Department of Water Resources will use a "weighted average" price of 5.5 cents per kilowatt hour instead of the 5.5 cents per kilowatt hour price cap. Another bill is currently being drafted by Assemblyman Keeley and Sen. Battin allowing QFs to sell electricity at 8 cents per kilowatt hour (down from 18 cents) to Socal. The bill stemmed from a series of negotiations that have been taking place with CA government officials. However, a source close to the negotiations confirms that PG&E was not involved in the meetings. Per Friday's update, negotiations continue on a bond issuance plan but sides remain divided on amount and if it would include the internal debt of the parent companies or just debt due to external creditors.

Looks ok overall but here are a couple of suggestions: Make price/mgw an optional field in the deal entry section of eterra. 2B should be a higher priority. Also, an alternative to 2B is to have a drop-down box within eTerra to display the corresponding name of the counterparty. [Phillips, George] -----Original Message----- From: Capasso, Joe Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 3:10 AM To: Forney, John M. Subject: FW: Eterra Madup, In reference to Eterra, I have prioritized some enhancements to the system that will improve its usage and accuracy. When using Eterra, some tasks are difficult to complete and can result in mismatches in the Ercot Portal. I will identify some of the difficult tasks and I will make some suggestions on enhancements. In addition, I realize that we are working with time constraints and limited personnel. I will categorize the list based on Priority 1, 2 & 3. Priority 1 - Very important and needs to be completed immediately Priority 2 - Important and needs to be completed within the next 30 days Priority 3 - Moderate importance, easy tasks can be completed at programmers convenience. Priority 1A: Allow the Deal Entry screen to accept single entry trades, such as a simultaneous Buy from Counterparty A in the South Zone and a Sell to Counterparty B in the North Zone. Currently, this has to be done by entering two trades, a purchase from Counterparty A (South Zone) to the Hourly Ercot Book and a second trade, a sell from the Hourly Ercot Book to Counterparty B. I realize that we have a problem with the transmission between the North and South Zones and that is what makes this a difficult enhancement. Priority1B: Change the process of increasing the Frontera generation. The current process is to input a buy from Frontera and a sell to Frontera. This is not very intuitive and causes some confusion. Why can't we input a buy from Frontera just as we would with any other trade? It could be as simple as clicking a box to indicate that Frontera (i.e. - EPMI) should be adjusted on the resource side and not EPMI on the obligation side. Priority1C: Eterra should not write over any trades that were input manually into the Ercot Portal. Is there any way that we can make it identify a trade that was input manually into the portal? When it finds one then it should not overwrite this trade. Priority2A: Undo Button - On various occasions, we have sent Bal Day trades to the QSE MOS/Ercot Portal and it was not the result that we had expected. Therefore, the trader has to manually change each of the trades. This can be a very time consuming process. Is there a way to have an UNDO button (similar to the Excel UNDO key) to retract the trade information from the QSE MOS or Portal? Priority2B: Change the short name in <internal counterparty> & <external counterparty> to the actual long name, (i.e. - elpasomeren to El Paso Merchant Energy) Reason: It is just difficult to read. I brought this up with Sasha and he said it would be a quick fix, but it is still not done. Proirity3A: Please give us a list of the Counterparties and their appropriate QSE names, (i.e. - El Paso Merchant is actually APX) This helps us identify what it will effect in the QSE MOS and Portal (for example, elpasomeren is converted into APX). But does ELP or ELPASELECOM convert to APX also? Priority3B: Match Flow Period to automatically update the Contract Date. This is one less step that we need to worry about. The above mentioned enhancements will allow us to quickly and accurately update the QSE MOS & Ercot Portal. In addition, it will allow us to quickly correct the portal if a mistake occurs. If you need additional clarification on any of these topics, I would be happy to meet with you to discuss this further. I will be working days on Monday, Nov. 26th - Thursday, Nov 29th. Thanks, Joe Capasso PS - Below is an email that outlines my conversation with Sasha on November 3rd. Unfortunately, none of the "quick fixes" have been completed yet. -----Original Message----- From: Capasso, Joe Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2001 4:55 PM To: Forney, John M.

We reviewed the exact process for inputting data into Eterra and verifying the trades prior to being sent to the QSE MOS. Here are some suggestions that I made to Sasha for improving Eterra (the top of the list is the highest priority): - Allow the Deal Entry screen to accept single entry trades, such as a simultaneous Buy from Calpine (South Zone) and a Sell to FPL (North Zone). Currently, this has to be done by entering two trades, a purchase from Calpine (South Zone) to the Hourly Ercot book and a second entry of Hourly Ercot book to FPL (North Zone). Sasha said he is working on this, but problems are occurring due to the transmission between South and North. - Change the process of increasing the Frontera generation. The current process is to input a buy from Frontera into the Frontera book. This is not very intuitive and we are still trying to work out an easier process. (Possibly even having a button that we can click to indicate that it is a purchase from Frontera. Essentially, this would increase the EPMI mw's in the Ercot Portal.) - Change the short name in <internal counterpary> & <external counterparty> to the actual long name, (i.e. - elpasomeren to El Paso Merchant Energy) - Give us a list of Counterparties and the appropriate QSE, (i.e. - El Paso Merchant is actually APX) So that we know what it will affect in the Ercot Portal. - Match flow date to automatically update the Contract date. One less step that we need to worry about. I tried to impress upon Sasha that in trading "time is of the essence" and that we don't have much time to input data. Therefore, we need to streamline the deal entry process and to make it more user friendly. I realize that the first two items will take some time, but the last 3 items should be quick fixes. I hope this helps. Joe Capasso

We were allocated a total of 7591 mmbtu at the receipt point for November. I think our contract for November is at the average of the Inside FERC postings for the three pipes plus a penny. Those prices are as follows: Transco Zone 3 $4.51 Florida Zone 3 $4.45 Sonat $4.47 Avg $4.4767 + 0.01 = $4.4867 The same transport fee and fuel percentage as last month should be deducted from this price. I think the allocated fuel was 23 mmbtu. Also, keep in mind that we scheduled 31,112 mmbtu per Rebel's directions. ENA will have to cash out the difference with Destin (at higher prices!).

With Ken Lay's resignation, you undoubtedly have questions about Enron's management structure and what lies ahead for the company. The purpose of this communication is to begin to answer those questions and lay out the direction we plan to follow as we regroup and rebuild. First, the Creditors Committee has proposed that the Board of Directors retain an interim CEO to focus on the restructuring process. This is a positive sign that the Committee believes Enron will provide greater value as a viable ongoing business. The Enron Board of Directors has approved Stephen Cooper as interim CEO and chief restructuring officer. Steve is the managing partner of Zolfo Cooper, a corporate recovery and crisis management firm with more than 30 years experience leading companies through operational and financial reorganizations. Steve and his firm will work with members of Enron's current management to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to restructure the company and emerge from bankruptcy. As you know, Enron has entered into an agreement with UBS Warburg for the sale of NetCo, Enron's wholesale gas and power trading organization. In preparation for the transition of NetCo to UBS, Greg Whalley has resigned as president and COO of Enron to assume a position with UBS Warburg. We want to thank Greg and the NetCo employees joining UBS for their contributions to Enron and wish them great success going forward. In addition to engaging Steve, Enron has formed an Office of the Chief Executive. I will join Steve in that office as president and chief operating officer, and Ray Bowen will join us as executive vice president and chief financial officer. We will provide additional information regarding the roles and responsibilities of Enron's entire management team once those become more fully defined. Thank you for continuing to support Enron by performing your job everyday. The ongoing uncertainty about our future, coupled with the constant media scrutiny, makes this situation difficult for all of us. While no one can control the media, we can and will define our leadership and devise our strategy for moving ahead. And in doing so, we will build a more certain future for our company and our employees. Link to the press release: http://www.enron.com/corp/pressroom/releases/2002/ene/012902Release.html

Delaney ) IEP has one minor edit to the draft letter and three edits to the recommendations. Three of our four suggestions are driven by legislation sent to the Governor in the last days of session. A redlined version is attached. I hope this is helpful. (1) We propose to eliminate one proposed solution that is part of AB 970. Our edits move to the description of AB 970 the recommendation for allowing plants expected to come on line in 2 or 3 years to come on line earlier as single cycle facilities from the list of solutions. (2) We propose to move the proposal to expedite renewable generation to a comment that signing AB 995/SB 1194 will expedite more than 500 MW of new renewable generation by next summer. (This number is based on a CEC letter.) (3) We propose to consolidate solutions 4 and 5 since both involve changes or additions to existing plants. (4) Finally, we propose to modify the description of the CEC,s expedited siting process to reflect AB 970 more accurately. If you have any questions, please call.

Ken, I greatly appreciate your reply, I also agree that the merger was the best alternative, given the circumstances. It saddens me to think that I will not be working for Enron, I had planned to retire from here. I pray that you will be at peace with your decision and that you will have a happy retirement, put it all behind you and know that you did everything you could and we have a great amount of respect and appreciation for you. We will definitely miss you and your leadership. I hope that Dynegy appreciates the value that they are obtaining and the gift of the talented and innovative employees that they will be getting.

We contributed an absorbant amount of money to charities this year and last, would it not be possible to raise money to help our company. Do a little belt tightening. We could do without the Christmas party, do without our bonuses and next year at this time, when we are back on top, it would be a sweeter glory knowing that the employees helped turn everything around. I have spoken with my HR rep and several other employees about this possibility and we feel that we would be able to raise a substantial amount of money. Please let me know what your view on this would be and we will work on what steps we need to take to make it happen. Thank you for your time.

Many investors, stunned by the market's precipitous fall, see energy as one of the few sectors with a promising profit outlook. And in that so-called energy merchant sector, the Enron Corporation stands out as the industry leader. Based in Houston, it buys and sells wholesale electricity, natural gas and scores of other commodities, including broadband capacity for data-delivery services. In the fourth quarter of 2000, Enron's revenue more than tripled, to $40.75 billion, from the period a year earlier. That mushrooming revenue can be traced to the unprecedented surge in the price of electricity and natural gas, particularly in California. On Tuesday, California power regulators approved a 46 percent increase in electricity rates, the largest in the state's history. Electricity shortfalls have also been predicted for New York City this summer. Despite its red-hot market, Enron is no bargain. Its share price surged 87 percent in 2000, to end the year at $83.125, up from $44.375 a year earlier. It hit a 12-month, intraday high of $90.75 on Aug. 23, around the time that California's utilities first sounded the alarm. And even though Enron has taken some hits this year, the stock closed at $58.10 on Friday, 39.5 times its 2001 earnings per share, well above its peers. On March 22, it fell to a 12-month low of $51.51 amid concerns about possible layoffs in its broadband operations, but rebounded after Jeffrey K. Skilling, the chief executive, assured investors that all was well in broadband. Enron's edge is its sheer size and its recognized competence in helping corporate clients cope with unprecedented swings in electricity prices. Enron , in turn, charges a premium to manage the risk of energy price movements, said Donato J. Eassey, a natural-gas analyst at Merrill Lynch. ''They have market intelligence that is second to none,'' he said. ''They help firms lower the cost by avoiding the spot market for power.'' The value of Enron's broadband effort and its core wholesale energy operations have yet to be fully reflected in its stock price, he added, predicting that shares will climb to $99.20 in 12 months. Raymond C. Niles, an analyst at Salomon Smith Barney, also likes Enron because of its dominance. The company has unit operating margins that are two to three times that of its closest competitor, Dynegy, in wholesale energy, he said: ''When the heat is on literally, people need a company like Enron for physical delivery because it has so many ways to get them that resource.'' He predicted that the stock would rise to $100 within 12 months. Neither analyst is worried about developments in India, where Enron was forced to invoke government guarantees to recoup payment for power generated at its Dabhol power plant in the state of Maharashtra. OTHER experts favor Enron because it is not just a pure power play. The company, which is shedding many of its hard assets, has bet heavily on its prospects for buying and selling broadband capacity. Skeptics say the demand for broadband is nowhere near as immediate as the need for energy, but Amy M. Jaffe, a senior energy adviser at the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University in Houston, said Enron was smart to move into broadband. ''They might be in broadband too early, but that's O.K., she said, ''There will be demand for it.'' Enron's expansion into data delivery, as well as its market-making of energy commodities, help distinguish it from classic energy businesses like oil companies, she said. Lawrence R. Fuller, a senior portfolio manager at the Merrill Lynch Fundamental Growth fund, says Enron is his largest energy holding. ''The company is controversial because its valuation is very high,'' Mr. Fuller said. ''But they have a tremendous lead over their rivals and a mastery of their business. You have tremendous economies of scale here that drive their profit.'' Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. OUTLOOK Editorials PULL THE PLUG / Not enough sunshine on politics of water board Staff 04/01/2001 Houston Chronicle 4 STAR 2 (Copyright 2001) The time has come to pull the plug on the Houston Area Water Corp., the citizen board called "the Hawk" that is in the process of recommending a company to design, build and operate a water plant at Lake Houston. The members of the Hawk board appear to have done their job thoroughly and conscientiously. The board's chairman, attorney David Berg, has been commendably outspoken about his concerns for the bidding process and the wherewithal of Azurix Corp., a troubled affiliate of energy giant Enron Corp. and one of three companies in the final running for the contract. However, the political maneuverings and pressures being placed behind the scenes on both city staff evaluating the bid proposals and the Hawk board bear much more scrutiny than can be gained in the format of this quasi-private corporation. City Attorney Anthony Hall, reported the Chronicle's Mary Flood, started an hourlong, heated argument with Berg at a March 21 mayoral fund-raiser over the possibility that Azurix, rumored as the favorite of Mayor Lee Brown's administration, might not win the bid. Sources familiar with the argument told Flood that Hall threatened Berg that he would dismantle the Hawk if the process that kept Azurix as the winning recommendation was not followed. Hall denied he said anything like that, saying his complaints were about procedures. Berg would not comment specifically on that matter. Hall, according to Flood's report, said he told Berg that because the companies had relied on a long-established formula for choosing the front-runner, it would invite trouble to change or ignore the formula now. But the companies said they were never told about the formula and have had nothing specific to rely on about how the staff or the Hawk board would make its decision. The pressure brought to bear on the Hawk, in such an unsavory way and without public controls, is extremely troubling. These boards clearly were never intended to handle projects so politically divisive, with so much money at stake. The water plant contract under bid is worth $150 million. The water project it is part of could reach $2 billion. State Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, who wrote the statute allowing local government corporations such as Hawk, said he never intended these citizen boards to handle projects as large as the water plant. Politicians who want to guide this process ought to be willing to do it openly and face both the public scrutiny and the consequences of their actions. For that reason - not because the bid award may not go the way the city administration wants it to - the Hawk corporation should be dissolved. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. USA: Exxon Mobil tops Fortune 500 list, replacing GM. 04/01/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. NEW YORK, April 1 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp. , aided by higher oil prices, ousted automaker General Motors Corp. from the No. 1 ranking in the Fortune 500 list of the largest American companies, the business magazine said on Sunday. "The country faced an energy crunch as the drain on resources from several years of economic expansion collided with utility deregulation, soaring natural gas prices, and OPEC's maneuvering to keep oil prices high," Lee Clifford, a writer for the Magazine, said the article about the reasons behind Exxon's gain from the No. 3 spot in 1999. With revenues for 2000 at a record $210 billion, Exxon, the most profitable company with $17.7 billion in net income in 2000, outpaced No. 2 Wal-Mart by $17 billion and No. 3 GM by $26 billion. On the flip side of the surge for energy companies, high oil prices increased the cost of doing business for most companies, and had a big impact on corporate profits last year. Five out of the top 15 companies made less money than they did in 1999. Profits rose overall by 8.4 percent, down significantly from the prior year's 28.7 percent growth. Rounding out the top ten of the Fortune 500 in order behind Exxon Mobil, Wal-Mart and GM: Ford Motor Co. ($180.6 billion in 2000 revenues); General Electric Co. ($129.9 billion); Citigroup ($111.8 billion); Enron Corp. ($100.8 billion); International Business Machines Corp. ($88.4 billion); AT&T Corp. ($66.0 million); and Verizon Communications ($64.7 billion). Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Exxon Mobil Tops 2001 Ranking of the Fortune 500; Oil giant replaces GM at top of list after 15 years; Mega-Retailer Wal-Mart is No. 2 04/01/2001 Business Wire (Copyright (c) 2001, Business Wire) NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 1, 2001--Exxon Mobil vaulted into the top spot on the annual FORTUNE 500 ranking of the largest American companies, replacing 15-year veteran GM. With revenues for 2000 at a record $210 billion, Exxon outpaced No. 2 Wal-Mart by $17 billion and No. 3 GM by $26 billion. The FORTUNE 500 ranking has been dominated by two industries -- cars and oil -- since its inception in 1955: in 47 years, only two companies have been at the top of the list, Exxon (which merged with Mobil in 1999) and GM. The 2001 FORTUNE 500 list and related stories are available at www.fortune.com beginning at 6:00 p.m. ET Sunday, April 1. Exxon Mobil wasn't the only oil company to jump in the rankings. "The country faced an energy crunch as the drain on resources from several years of economic expansion collided with utility deregulation, soaring natural gas prices, and OPEC's maneuvering to keep oil prices high," FORTUNE's Lee Clifford writes in the introduction to the list. Those high prices helped other energy companies strike it rich: Duke Energy (No. 17) and Reliant Energy (No. 55) nearly doubled their revenues to catapult up the list, as did diversified energy companies like Enron (No. 7) and Dynegy (No. 54). "Of course, should energy prices fall, these companies will have a tough time hanging onto their new spots on the FORTUNE 500," Clifford says. On the flip side of the surge for energy companies, high oil prices increased the cost of doing business for most companies, and had a big impact on corporate profits last year. Five out of the top 15 companies made less money than they did in 1999. Profits rose overall by 8.4%, down significantly from last year's 28.7% growth. Together, the FORTUNE 500 generated $7.2 trillion in sales (up more than 13% from last year), made $444 billion in profits, and employed 24 million people. No. 1 Exxon Mobil was the most profitable company, with profits rising 124% to $17.7 billion. No. 2 Wal-Mart, with revenues of $193 billion, is the largest employer in the FORTUNE 500, with 1.2 million employees (about the same as the population of Idaho). Geographically, California and New York top the state list with 55 company headquarters each (New York City tops the city list with 40 company headquarters). Texas comes in third with 45 companies (including Irving-based Exxon Mobil, the No. 1 company; Houston is second on the city list with 20 companies), Illinois is fourth with 39 and Ohio is fifth with 20 companies on the list.

All Rights Reserved. Exxon Mobil Tops Fortune 500 List Amid Record Revenue; GM Drops to Third 04/01/2001 Dow Jones Business News (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) Associated Press NEW YORK -- Surging U.S. energy prices gave oil, gasoline and power companies new fuel in their climb through the ranks of the annual Fortune 500. Oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) posted its highest-ever revenue of $210 billion in 2000, boosting it to No. 1 on the list from its 1999 ranking as No. 3. General Motors Co., the world's biggest auto maker, had revenue of $184.6 billion and fell to No. 3 from No. 1. Other energy companies also fared well in 2000, with Enron Corp. (ENE) rising to No. 7 from No. 18. Duke Energy Corp. (DUK) shot up to No. 17 from 69 and Reliant Energy Inc. (REI) made it up to No. 55 from 114. The list of the largest publicly held companies, ranked by fiscal-year revenue, has been compiled annually since 1955 by the editors of Fortune. Detroit-based GM, which had held the top spot on the list for 15 years, trails No. 2 Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT). Energy companies benefited from a surge in revenue brought about by falling supplies, utility deregulation, soaring natural-gas prices and OPEC's maneuvering to keep oil prices high. In the past year, crude oil has sold for as much as $30 a barrel, and gasoline cost more than $2 a gallon last summer in some parts of the U.S. Other energy firms advancing included Texaco Inc. (TX), which went from No. 28 to No. 16; Chevron Corp. (CHV), which was ranked No. 20, up from No. 35; and Dynegy Inc. (DYN), which rose to No. 54 from No. 112. San Francisco-based Chevron agreed to buy Texaco in October for $35.1 billion in stock, plus assumed debt of $7.5 billion. The deal is expected to close this summer pending review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The Internet slowdown and uncertainty about the economy hurt a number of companies, particularly telecom firms. AT&T Corp. (T) fell to No. 9 from No. 8. But a merger helped Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ), formed when Bell Atlantic and GTE combined in May, leapfrog to the No. 10 spot from No. 33, climbing past rivals WorldCom Inc. (WCOM) at No. 32, and SBC Communications (SBC) at No. 14. America Online Inc., which became the first purely Internet company to break into the list last year at No. 337, rose to No. 271. Since then, it has become AOL Time Warner Inc. (AOL) with its acquisition of Time Warner. The combined company's revenue of $36.2 billion would have made it No. 39 on the year 2000 list, but the deal didn't close until early this year. Computer companies were led by International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), which stayed in the top 10 but fell from sixth last year to No. 8. Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) rose to 79 from 84, and Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), which makes equipment for the Internet, advanced to 107 from 146, despite the dot-com crash. Wal-Mart, which remained in the No. 2 spot, had revenue of more than $210 billion. It also has the most employees of any company on the list, with more than 1.2 million world-wide. The top 10 also included Ford Motor Co. (F), the world's No. 2 auto maker, at No. 4, a position it held last year. General Electric Co. (GE) stayed at No. 5 and Citigroup Inc. (C), the nation's largest financial-services company, rose from seventh place to No. 6. Total profits for the 500 corporations grew 8.4% for the year, down from 1999's level of 28.7%, to $444 billion. Revenue grew by more than 13% to a combined $7.2 trillion for 2000. They employed more than 24 million workers. The top 20: 1. Exxon Mobil, Irving, Texas, 3, $210.392 billion 2. Wal-Mart Stores, Bentonville, Ark., 2, $193.295 3.

Exxon Mobil Replaces General Motors Atop Fortune 500 (Update1) 2001-04-01 21:40 (New York) (Adds that citation is from Fortune.com Web site) New York, April 1 (Bloomberg) -- Exxon Mobil Corp. topped the new Fortune 500 ranking of the biggest U.S. companies, replacing General Motors Corp., as higher oil prices contributed to $210.4 billion in revenue last year. GM fell to third, behind Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Fortune said on its Fortune.com Web site. In the list's 55-year history, only GM and Exxon have been No. 1. Energy companies fared well this year, with Enron Corp. moving to No. 7 from 18th and Duke Energy Corp. going to No. 17 from 69. Wal-Mart had $193.3 billion in revenue, about $8.7 billion more than GM, Fortune said. The retailer employs 1.2 million people, more than any other company on the list. Ford Motor Co. was fourth and General Electric Co. fifth. Rounding out the top 10 were financial services provider Citigroup Inc., computer maker International Business Machines Corp. and telecommunications companies AT&T Corp. and Verizon Communications Inc. The high oil and natural-gas prices that helped energy companies hurt other industries, Fortune said. Five of the top 15 made less money than in 1999, and profits rose 8.4 percent, less than previous year's 29 percent increase, Fortune said. California and New York led all states among the listed companies with 55 headquarters each. Texas is home to 45 companies on the list, while Illinois has 39 and Ohio has 20. Forty of the companies are based in New York City, twice as many as in Houston, the No. 2 city. India: Maharashtra panel on SEB to submit report on April 10 04/01/2001 Business Line (The Hindu) Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) - Asia Intelligence Wire MUMBAI, March 31. THE Godbole Committee, set up to examine the problems faced by the Maharashtra State Electricity Board, will submit the first part of its report on April 10. The first part, to be completed by April 9, will be tabled in the House during the ongoing Assembly session, according to sources. The committee, headed by the former Chairman of the MSEB, Mr Madhav Godbole, was formed last month to examine power purchases from Enron and other independent power producers. The six-member committee would suggest restructuring measures in part two of its report. The committee met officials of IDFC and other financial institutions, said a senior MSEB official. Enron officials, financial institutions and members of the public have made presentations to the committee, apart from the MSEB top brass. The panel will review the position of overall demand and supply of power to industries in Maharashtra with special reference to IPPs and purchase of power by MSEB. It would also review the power purchase agreements, already signed as well as proposed. The committee is to examine the cost of DPC power and its distribution, mounting losses of MSEB due to DPC power purchases and other implications. - Our Bureau Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

His forthcoming book, in collaboration with photographer Marissa Roth, is "Real City.' 04/01/2001 Los Angeles Times Home Edition 3 Copyright 2001 / The Times Mirror Company Could we have foreseen the winter of our disconnect? Could we have predicted January's blackouts and this summer's promise of more to come or counted in advance the windfall billions collected by Sun Belt power suppliers with shiny, abstract names like Enron and Dynegy or the millions more owed them by California's near-bankrupt utilities with their plodding 19th-century gas-and-electric names? The short answer is yes. We should have seen the darkness coming. We saw, instead, the brightness of our beliefs about this golden place. We had mistaken California for a continent-nearly a universe-from which everything we wanted would come endlessly because we expected it to. California at the beginning of 2000 was turning raw aspiration into profit as quickly as post-Civil War America had and with nearly the same confident mixture of technological bravura and financial cunning. In blacked-out, deregulated January, after the briefest of gilded ages, we found that California really is an island on the land, just as its most perceptive observers had said it was, and that California's energy resources are as fragile and limited as any island's. We would have been better served if, in our haste, we had paused to read two timely books on the history of power and its regulation. While they do not foreshadow California's current electrical mess, they throw some historical light on why we're in the dark. In "The Natural Gas Market: Sixty Years of Regulation and Deregulation" by Paul W. MacAvoy, the problem is the inadequacy of the regulatory models that states and federal agencies have applied to natural gas production and distribution since the 1930s. None, MacAvoy says, made natural gas plentiful, cheap and profitable all at the same time, and no one-producers, pipeline operators, retailers or consumers-has benefited from the failed attempts. The current natural gas shortage, driving up household bills and the operating costs of California's gas-fueled electricity plants, is the result, MacAvoy would argue, of regulatory approaches that can't work. MacAvoy believes a rational market could be made for natural gas through complete deregulation, except for the irrationality of consumers. They don't see natural gas as a substance-less commodity, to be priced and delivered by the workings of the market forces that interest MacAvoy, a professor at Yale's School of Management. Consumers see gas-and electricity-as something real, like sunlight or air, that flows predictably from a "second nature" of pipelines and transmission towers. The presence in the landscape of these grids-like the grids of aqueducts and highways-is so necessary and expected that ordinary nature is unimaginable without them. Californians have superimposed a man-made "second nature" of energy production and distribution on the state's unforgiving landscapes too, but our unique problem is a Gold Rush mythology of abundance. Limitless power is part of the myth, beginning with the belief in the 1860s and 1870s that California's hills, having yielded gold for the taking, would yield coal just as abundantly to power the state's transition to an industrial economy. California had plenty of gold, it turned out, but almost no coal. Nor could the state produce enough firewood where people needed it or kerosene to fuel its lamps or manpower to till its fields. Wood, coal, kerosene and labor were "power crises" in the 19th century that were ultimately resolved by technical innovation, resource substitution and historically higher energy costs for California consumers. In the 20th century, new believers preached that the Sierra Nevada foothills would flow with endless hydropower to keep city lights shining, that more oil fields were ready to be discovered to fuel the state's power plants and that nuclear technology would make electricity too cheap to meter. It hardly mattered that there was no foundation for these beliefs either. Our resilient faith in a "second nature" of power that is adequate to the myth of California gives James C. Williams' "Energy and the Making of Modern California" its poignancy. Williams, whose book was published in hardcover in 1997, does not forecast the "deregulation crisis" of 2001, but he might have. Speaking of Americans generally, Williams says: "They have believed each new energy resource to be without fault, to be infinitely abundant, and, therefore, to have the potential to effect utopian societal change. Moreover, people's faith in an energy resource seems to persist until ... its shortcomings are obvious, and only then do they see it cannot bring utopia. Yet the failure of a resource to live up to their expectations has not seemed to dampen their enthusiasm, as they simply transfer the myth from a fallen energy resource to the next resource appropriated for use." In 1996, the California Legislature simply substituted a deregulated electricity marketplace as the next energy resource expected to work on utopian principles. Williams ends his account of California's energy history at the hopeful moment in the late 1980s when "a diversified, innovative, and less centralized energy paradigm" seemed ascendant. Although not as radical as environmental purists wanted, he says, California's emphasis on energy conservation and alternative power sources-solar, geothermal, wind and biomass among them-defined a more benign and flexible "soft energy" path paralleling the "hard energy" path of gas-fired steam generators, nuclear plants and hydroelectric dams. Between 1973 and 1988, Williams reports, California's population grew 37%, and its economy, as measured in goods and services, grew 46%, while the state's energy consumption grew only 8%, in part because of some of the strictest standards in the world for building insulation and appliance efficiency. Jerry Brown, California governor from 1974 through 1982, was right, after all: Weather-stripping and windmills do make a difference. Brown's career needs no rehabilitation now, as he begins his campaign for a second term as mayor of Oakland, but the debacle of electrical deregulation is set to consume other political futures when electricity bills jump 40% in May to a projected 100% by the end of summer. Sen. Steve Peace (D-El Cajon) and Public Utilities Commission President Loretta Lynch will take the fall; Gov. Gray Davis probably will, too. The blame for the state's slide into deregulated chaos goes well beyond today's cast of bewildered politicians, but Californians are unlikely to round up all the suspects-ourselves included-who might be made to answer for it. We were too distracted by the collapse of the state's old economy in 1990, the L.A. riots, earthquakes and other disasters to attend to the tedium of energy policy. No one seemed to notice how electricity deregulation, launched without much meaningful debate in 1996, recycled the myth of energy abundance that Williams lucidly details decade by decade (beginning in 1850), or that deregulation required a rapid and sustained increase in generating capacity if it was going to deliver the substantially lower electricity costs promised for 2001. That was wishful thinking long before the legislature's unanimous deregulation vote. In 1994, John Bryson, chief executive of Southern California Edison, told the California Public Utilities Commission, "Edison does not need any additional power until at least 2005." Bryson's declaration that California faced an energy glut-not a shortage-was in response to a controversial decision by the PUC ordering the state's major utilities to purchase 1,400 megawatts of new power annually beginning in 1998. The PUC order was driven by a 1992 California Energy Commission forecast, fairly accurate it turns out, that Californians would need 55,819 megawatts of electricity in 2000. (The actual usage was closer to 54,000 megawatts.) To foster competitors to the state's largest utilities-Pacific Gas & Electric, Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric-the PUC order also required them to buy all this new power from independent suppliers, whose presence in California's limited energy market would, the PUC believed, not only deliver the required megawatts but also gradually cut consumer electric bills. In addition, the PUC ordered the three utilities to buy part of this new power from suppliers using alternative and renewable energy sources-windmills, geothermal and solar -continuing California's successful experiment in a parallel industry of "soft energy" supply. The utilities resisted. With deregulation the goal of the Clinton administration as much as of the power industry, the PUC's order to buy more electricity-and expand the small-is-beautiful supply model that Williams believed was possible in 1997 when his book was published-looked to the utilities like the subsidization of future competitors. In 1995, Edison and SDG&E convinced the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that giving environmentally friendly generators preferential treatment was illegal and that California, in the midst of a business-crunching recession, didn't need more power anyway. Under pressure from the federal commission, the PUC caved in. And Edison and SDG&E got exactly what they wanted-relief from new competition, continued centralization of production within the traditional utility grid and a PUC committed to demolishing the state's 80-year-old system of utility regulation. The PUC even discouraged the utilities from signing long-term supply contracts at current prices, because the PUC professed to believe that deregulation would generate lower energy prices more quickly than anyone expected. To show stockholders that they were no longer the dowdy power companies of the old economy, the utilities sweetened short-term profits by refusing to invest in plant construction, spun off revenues from their PUC-regulated divisions into stock buybacks and worked very hard for full deregulation. Their victory a year later was a catastrophe. The deregulation consumers got-in the ironic words of State Sen. Jim Brulte (R-Rancho Cucamonga), "one of the most far-reaching and forward-thinking pieces of legislation" in California history-was peculiarly Californian in its degree of institutional amnesia. As political cover for legislators who feared prices would immediately climb, the deregulation bill cut electricity rates 10% and froze increases until March 2002. That gave residential consumers and businesses no reason to switch to alternative power sources or conserve more. The bill satisfied the interests of consumer advocates because it promised to break the utilities' three-way monopoly on electricity production and shrink the power of the PUC (seen as too friendly for too long with the power companies it was supposed to regulate). Deregulation, however, continued to shield profits at Edison, PG&E and SDG&E by guaranteeing them $26 billion in revenue to cover their massive debt for nuclear power plant construction. Deregulation also pleased environmentalists because they thought it would take the state further down the "soft energy" path. The deregulation bill encouraged the utilities to sell off their existing fossil-fueled generators, but it failed to offer enough incentives for the construction of environmentally friendly ones, despite the 12-year gap since the construction of the last major power plant anywhere in California. Finally, deregulation created a power market so fragmented that it was ludicrously easy to manipulate when the thin surplus of power supply in the West began evaporating in the summer of 2000, although the evidence is masked by the effects of a drought in the Northwest (which has reduced hydropower) and an unlucky combination of plant maintenance, air pollution limits idling older plants and higher than expected costs for natural gas. The price of bad luck, bad weather and the cunning of power suppliers was staggering. At one point in December, electricity that cost $250 a megawatt-hour to produce was priced by the power brokers of the California Independent System Operator at $1,500 a megawatt-hour. That was the negotiated price; the suppliers had asked for $2,000. Deregulation had set up a divided marketplace, more irrational than any Paul W. MacAvoy picks apart in his analysis of natural gas, in which the California Power Exchange was a clearinghouse where buyers and sellers set the price of electricity and the California Independent System Operator was the "buyer of last resort" if occasional gaps between production and distribution unexpectedly failed to meet daily demand. The arrangement began unraveling in mid-1998, and the Power Exchange effectively collapsed as soon as SDG&E became fully deregulated in July 2000, leaving the poorly trained bureaucrats of the Cal-ISO in December and January to struggle to buy 30% of the state's daily power needs at arbitrary prices they passed on to utility company managers. The spectacle of the Cal-ISO gratefully paying a 500% premium over the cost of production to keep the lights on last winter was a lesson in "market fundamentalism" with a vengeance. Californians, tutored by earnest neo-conservatives such as Peace, believed that a deregulated market would generate abundant low-cost power simply because that's what a market freed of regulation would do, despite the evidence that this particular market was based on false assumptions and likely to be manipulated by the energy suppliers who designed it. In an empty contest of metaphors in 1994 and 1995, the dead hand of state regulation had lost to the invisible hand of the marketplace. We'll never know if gradual expansion of competition within the framework of regulation would have made California's power system more flexible and environmentally sustainable and less costly to consumers, as Williams suggested it might. 'Power tends to corrupt," Lord Acton said. He didn't mean that the powerful are necessarily brutal or cruel. He was criticizing the blinding power that flows from unexamined convictions, and he was writing about the papacy of Pope Pius IX, who forced the doctrine of papal infallibility on the Catholic Church. The makers of deregulation-state legislators, consumer advocates, PUC commissioners and environmentalists-were convinced that the market they constructed was infallible too. That belief led them to pursue their own self-interest. In the long run, consumers can expect deregulation's perverse effects to include significantly higher electricity bills as we pay off $30 billion in new debt, diminished local authority over power plant construction and further disarray among the small-scale producers of renewable energy. The failure of deregulation also will recast the way power is distributed in California, as the state hesitantly moves to control part of the electrical grid in exchange for bonding the utilities' debt. This first step in creating a state power authority is being resisted by power suppliers, who rightly fear that public anger over mismanagement of the power system has hardened into sympathy for public ownership, as it almost did in the early 1920s. In the short run, the failure of deregulation will determine if California's hopeful new economy plays out as something more than the latest of the state's many booms. There were extractive ones-gold, cattle, wheat, oil, suburban house lots and military hardware. And there were booms that wove myths-health-seeking in the sunshine, tourism, the movies and all the lost dot-coms of last year. Apart from the good and the bad they've done our state, our booms have reflected the belief, bordering on religious faith, that what is true about California today will be true permanently. California's utopian expectations about energy, whose history Williams diligently surveys, are central to that myth. It sustained our optimism about California's ability to power itself in the past. It's fueling our pessimism today, as we lead ourselves deeper into the dark.

All Rights Reserved. India: CM objects to 'dumping' of IAS officers Our Special Correspondent 03/31/2001 The Hindu Copyright (C) 2001 Kasturi & Sons Ltd (KSL); Source: World Reporter (TM) - Asia Intelligence Wire BANGALORE, MARCH 30. The Chief Minister, Mr. S.M. Krishna, today spoke out strongly against the "dumping" of IAS officers on the State and said a stage would soon be reached when Karnataka would have to reject such postings. He was replying to the discussion on the Budget estimates for 2001-2002 in the Legislative Council. The House later passed the Appropriation Bill moved by the Chief Minister who also holds the Finance portfolio. Mr. Krishna, who received a round of applause for his stance against the large number of IAS and IPS officers in the State, said the strength of the IAS officers was swelling. "It is only Karnataka which is getting a large number of officers from the other States while it is not the case in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu." The Chief Minister said it was not his desire to question the competence of IAS officers from outside the State. "But then I have to be proud of my own people. Even the few people who pass the central services examination from the State are not posted here. A Karnataka girl who passed the IAS last year was posted to the north-east despite her request to be posted in her home State." Mr. Krishna, reacting to a suggestion by some of the legislators that the House adopt a resolution on this matter, said he would rather bring the matter to the notice of the Union Home Minister. The Centre should rethink on this matter. There was also the need for Karnataka to have a share of the top posts at the Central level. "I am only expressing the feelings of the people in public administration. The Centre should focus its attention on this matter." Referring to the power sector reforms and the Union Government selecting the State as one of the first beneficiaries, the Chief Minister said the transmission and distribution losses in the State were 38 per cent while the national average was around 40 per cent. Karnataka could not be an exception from what was happening in the other parts of the country although efforts were now being made to improve the grid situation and ensure metering of all electrical installations, which was the key to checking power theft. He said it was a blessing in disguise that the State had dropped the 1,000 MW Cogentrix power project in Mangalore. Otherwise the cost of power would have been very high, not unlike what Maharashtra was now facing with Enron. The construction of the Alamatti power project has been handed over to the Karnataka Power Corporation Ltd. since the private sector Chamundi corporation had quoted Rs. 1,400 crores for the project while the KPCL had quoted Rs. 700 crores. "Our KPCL has a proven track record and the State Government decided to go with it."The Chief Minister sounded a note of caution to the excise sector and said the Government would come down heavily on it if it continued with tax evasion (sale of seconds liquor). The Government had set an ambitious target of Rs. 2,086 crores for the coming year, in contrast to Rs. 1,500 crores for 2000-2001. The revenue from excise had dipped in the mid-Nineties and had registered a 20 per cent increase over the past two years. Referring to the interim report of the Administrative Reforms Commission headed by Mr. Haranahalli Ramaswamy, he said the State had taken a giant step forward in pruning the administrative machinery. Around 80 per cent of the vacancies which had been frozen over the past decade had now been abolished. Mr. Krishna said that the proposal to divert the waters of the west-flowing Nethravati was only to provide drinking water to around 72 taluks in the plains of the State. Such a diversion of a small quantum of the waters would in no way affect the agricultural operations along the natural course of the river. The Government would hold discussions with all the political leaders before arriving at a decision on the proposal, he said. The Chief Minister denied the Opposition charge on the financial position of the State and said there was no question of walking into a debt trap. The loans sought were well within limits. The budget presented by him was quite transparent and there was nothing that he had hidden from the public. The focus of the budget this year was on agriculture.

COUNTRY BUZZ BROADBAND SERVICES: MILES TO GO SUDHIR CHOWDHARY 03/31/2001 Computers Today 76 Copyright 2001 Living Media India Ltd No incessant dialling and always-on Internet connection sans fat telephone bills. The promise was also of enriched and compelling content on the desktop, in the living room, and on the field-anytime, anywhere-at a whizzing speed. Unfortunately, these prospects don't seem to have fired the imagination of home PC users in the country. The response to the first few months of broadband connectivity in some affluent localities in Delhi and Mumbai have been lukewarm, mainly because of the cost factor. To make matters worse for the industry, major players like Spectranet and Enron have made their intentions clear to exit from their broadband ventures they have set up in Delhi and Maharashtra, respectively. Spectranet promoter Atul Punj has decided to withdraw from the fibre optic network business and concentrate on the family's core businesses of construction and pipelines. Say top sources in the firm, the decision follows from the realisation that the "business would be dominated by large groups and multinationals". Analysts, too, opine that after a frenzied start, the broadband market will settle down with fewer players. Reliance, Bharti Enterprises, BPL, Zee and a few others are left in the fray. Last fortnight, Enron also decided to exit from its broadband ventures in the country. Along with MSEB and Global Telesystems, the company had proposed to build a high-speed network in India to enable ISPs and corporate houses to carry out their business efficiently. It had plans to build a Rs 600 crore optical fibre cable network, covering 5,000 kms across Maharashtra. Strategies to Cope Why has broadband failed to take off in India? Siddhartha Ray, managing director, Data Access, an affiliate of Richard Li's Pacific Convergence Corp. (PCC) that has launched Network of the World (NOW) in India, quips, "It's easy to talk about sexier technologies. But, are there any taker for them as well?" According to him, shelling out more than Rs 1,000 per month besides coughing up cash for a cable modem is not a sneeze for most of the home PC users. Another reason, points out Ray, is that players like Spectranet can't be compared to big giants like Reliance who are into a long haul. For Spectranet, return on investment is vital and with the business plans already going astray, they are desperate to get out of this venture, he points out. While both the broadband players in Delhi, Spectranet and Mantra Online, admit that there is future potential in the home segment for broadband, their current subscription figures point out that the boom among home users for broadband services is still a long way off. Spectranet currently has around 1,000 subscribers in the home segment, while Mantra has to make do with 500 only. As Spectranet managing director Uday Punj says, "We are not aggressively marketing the home segment now, as the potential in the business segment will any day outflank home demand." Only that probably they won't be in the market to see that. Spectranet, which was the first off the block in laying optical fibre connections in Delhi, formally launched its services in October last year. The company has already invested around Rs 160 crore in setting up 600 kms of optical fibre in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad and Bangalore. The other broadband player, Mantra Online, came with its Mantra-via-cable offer last August. Mantra's broadband service has till date only covered a few affluent colonies in Delhi. While one big winner in the Delhi's not-so-hot broadband connections scene has been the cable operators, who have provided the crucial last-mile connectivity for both Mantra and Spectranet, via their existing network of coaxial cables, a major deterrent in the spread of broadband has been the exorbitant cost of the cable modem. They come at around Rs 15,000. The return is still not alluring. Return on Investment Essentially, for the broadband environment the major costs include those of the infrastructure and the subscriber. Those who are in the process of optical fibre networks are investing about Rs 100-200 crore for covering small towns to large cities. More than 15 companies have already acquired infrastructure providers' licences, which enable them to set up the network, right of way, towers and infrastructure for end-to-end connectivity. These companies include industry heavyweights like Reliance, Bharti, RPG, Satyam Infoway and Shyam. Two public sector companies, Power Grid Corp. of India and Gas Authority, have also entered the race. Spectranet, Reliable Internet, ICE Net.Net, RPG Netcom, Atlanta Capital, Potential Solutions, S. Kumars, Satyam Infotel and Zoom are the other companies that have got an IP licence. Some of these companies plan to operate telephony services as well. These include Reliance, Bharti and Shyam. The IP licences, which are free of cost, enable them to set up the backbone network. These companies will acquire national long distance (NLD) licences, which has an entry fee of Rs 500 crore, once their networks are ready. Reliance has acquired the IP licence through a new company-Steadfast Construction and Engineering-set up specially for this purpose. As per Reliance's plans, it will first set up a network in 12 states. In two years, it will cover the whole country. It has already started laying the cable in major states, including Gujarat, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. The company's NLD plan has synergy with its existing telecom operations. It has basic service licence for Gujarat and is operating cellular services in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, the North East, West Bengal, Assam and Himachal Pradesh. It covers more than 30 per cent of the geographical area of the country. Therefore, it will also be able to use the same optical fibre network as the backbone for its existing operations as well as for carrying long-distance calls. Similarly, Bharti has also announced its plans to enter the NLD service segment. Through Spectranet, Bharti would be able to offer basic services in Delhi and Bangalore, much ahead of the other players like Reliance and Essar. Bharti, which has itself laid about 100 km of optic fibre in Delhi, has applied for basic telephony licences in eight states, including Delhi and Karnataka. Great Expectations Despite the hype, worldwide broadband penetration is presently very low. And India is no exception. Take, for example, the United States where only 1.8 per cent of homes have broadband access, while 27 per cent have narrowband access. However, most analysts say that in the next five years, at least 50 per cent of online homes in the US will have broadband access via modems. However, the Asia-Pacific region is moving faster than the West as far as broadband connectivity is concerned. For instance, Singapore is fully broadband-wired. Similarly, Taiwan also has an extensive broadband network in place. In India, it is expected that seven companies will soon be offering their fibre-optic cable network commercially. Internet access via cable will make further inroads into consumer homes as bandwidth prices shrink. It will find more consumers in the institutional segment. But then even the cable TV penetration is expected to grow only about 15 per cent in 2001. That makes broadband initiative limp. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Steve, I can pick up the cost of your trip from the Research Group budget. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced it would be difficult to justify 2 trips per person. I think that we should go for one contiguous stay per person and make a good effort to make these trips productive. Vince Steven Leppard 05/11/2000 03:41 AM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Dale Surbey/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Summer visits Vince Thanks for offering to look my presentation over. The deadline for submission has been extended until tomorrow (Friday), so there's less of a hurry. As regard our summer visits, we'll need to speak to Dale over the budget. Personal commitments mean it's difficult for me to take two whole months to visit, so if the cost is prohibitive I may need to make just one shorter visit. I'd obviously like to spend longer, and two visits seems to be the only way I can do it. I believe the situation is similar for Kirstee. I've persuaded Richard to pay for Matt's visit in its entirety, and I've no doubt that RAC/Credit Trading will pick up the bills for Ben and Kirstee. It's difficult to think who'd be the natural group to pay for me. I honestly think I'll have difficulty persuading, e.g. Richard, that it's worth his while to pay for my visit. I get the impression he thinks I'm doing OK without the need to go to Houston for further training. I'm interviewing a candidate for Bjorn's model review role during today's videoconference, so we'll need to speak beforehand or perhaps Friday. All the best, Steve Vince J Kaminski 05/10/2000 01:54 PM To: Steven Leppard/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT, Stinson Gibner/HOU/ECT@ECT, Grant Masson/HOU/ECT@ECT, Pinnamaneni Krishnarao/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Conference Steve, I am tied up at the Power2000 conference.

I forgot to copy you ... ---------------------- Forwarded by Alan Comnes/PDX/ECT on 03/20/2001 10:00 PM --------------------------- Alan Comnes 03/20/2001 09:54 PM To: Tim Belden/HOU/ECT@ECT, Christian Yoder/HOU/ECT@ECT, Jeff Richter/HOU/ECT@ECT, Robert Badeer/HOU/ECT@ECT, Steve C Hall/PDX/ECT@ECT, Bill Williams III/PDX/ECT@ECT cc: Susan J Mara/NA/Enron@ENRON, Joe Hartsoe/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: FERC Staff market mitigation comments for California--Comments of Enron--DUE WEDNESDAY To West Desk Traders in Cali: On Thursday 3/22, FERC will accept comments on its staff's plan to provide market mitigation to California ISO markets. A summary of the report is copied below. Enron GA plans to file a motion that will support the comments of EPSA and WPTF and supplement the comments as noted below. EPSA's comments are generally supportive of the staff report but recommends that FERC: clarify that staff's market mitigation measures are being put into place to address structural defects in the California market, not the abuse of market power by any market participants; avoid the use of cost-based rates as a proxy for competitive prices during times of scarcity; ensure that if cost-based proxy rates are used, those rates includes the full value of scarcity, capacity, opportunity costs, and other factors; develop proxy rates, if necessary, using the formula in the March 9th Refund Order RATHER THAN the unit specific marginal costs identified in the order; and forego forced bidding into real-time markets. WPTF will make similar comments (generally with more color and vehemence) and will also raise how lack of creditworthiness will affect price. I also recommend we supplement the EPSA/WPTF comments with some additional comments on energy-limited resources, see attached. Please prove Sue Mara or I with your comments by COB Wednesday. Thank you, Alan Comnes Report Summary (from EPSA) Stressing that the proposal is designed to apply only to approximately five percent of the market that remains in real-time and not to the bilateral and forward markets, the Report immediately notes that "ultimately the real solution to California's problems lies in increased investments in infrastructure." The Report recommends that the California ISO conduct a real-time auction with associated measures to mitigate the impact of physical and economic withholding and significant exercises of market power during periods of scarcity: (1) Coordinating and Controlling Outages - The ISO should coordinate and approve all planned outages by units that have a Participating Generator Agreement (PGA) with the ISO. Coordination and outage control procedures should then be coupled with reporting requirements to FERC and dispute review should be expedited. Similarly, the ISO should closely monitor unplanned outages and report questionable outages to FERC for further investigation. (2) Selling Obligations - All capacity that is available and not scheduled to run under sellers with PGAs should be offered in the real-time market - this obligation would not be imposed on bilateral markets of the ISO day-ahead markets. PGA generators would have to submit to FERC a dependable capacity for each unit in addition to other operating parameters necessary to calculate marginal costs, such as heat rate. FERC Staff would then use this data, in combination with published fuel costs and emission credit data to determine a price that the ISO would use pre-determined to mitigate prices during times of reserve deficiency. Load Serving Entities should also be required to name their curtailment price and to identify which loads will be curtailed. (3) Price Mitigation - When called upon to provide the available and unscheduled capacity as mentioned above, PGA unit prices would be mitigated in hours when there is a reserve deficiency, or Stage 3 emergencies (the Report notes that it is "these hours which are extremely conducive to the exercise of market power by suppliers") and will be obligated to sell capacity in real-time at the marginal cost of the highest-priced PGA until called upon to run. (4) Real-time Price Mitigation for Each Generating Unit - all generating units should have a standing, confidential price based on its marginal costs. This price will be used by the ISO to establish the real-time market clearing price when mitigation is appropriate. Staff believes that a single market clearing price auction design is appropriate, thus reversing the recommendation to use an as bid design in the December Order. (5) Market Clearing Price - All real-time energy offers should be paid the applicable market clearing price. (6) Conditions for Invoking Mitigation - Mitigation measures should only be applied to critical operating periods, such as emergencies. As noted in the Report, Staff recognizes that there are potential difficulties in implementing the proposal, and that "there are no easy answers to the current problems in the California market." Among the purported difficulties, Staff notes implementation problems with bidding obligations on imported power, incentive effects on load scheduling, treatment of purchased power, mitigating prices during emergencies, and setting a price component for scarcity.

He understands our problems with the bill, but suggested we may want to recommend a solution. IEP will be meeting with him this afternoon to give him the problem at the 50,000 foot level. Individual companies may want to give him the specifics. Where are we with our meetings with members of the committee?
