Re: TW Lindy, your example is correct for settling operator imbalances. If we have a payable operator imbalance and we settle volumetrically, then we get fuel and transport. But, I thought the "netting and trading" in Order 637 was on Shipper imbalances only. I am not sure what we mean by "no additional cost, etc" mentioned below. I'll call you in the morning (Thursday) to discuss further, since I am not familiar with the PNM protest. Thanks.

For example, DP is SoCal/Needles: scheduled volume is 700,000/d actual volume delivered is 720,000/d imbalance is 20,000/d, SoCal owes TW TW collects transport & fuel on 700,000/d (bill on scheduled volume) SoCal cuts a check to TW for dollar value of 20,000/d TW doesn't collect transport & fuel on 20,000/d Payback in-kind doesn't have this problem: The 20,000/d transport gets scheduled at Needles, TW collects the transport & fuel (bill on scheduled volume), but we physically give SoCal 20,000/d less on that day Is this the correct example?

The gist of PNM's protest in RP00-626 is that we shouldn't be able to charge a transport or fuel fee for our imbalance netting and trading service. I agree with PNM that our tariff language is vague in this regard. What exactly do we mean by "no additional cost...unless through the allocation process, quantities may be subject to transportation and fuel"?? Can someone help me with this? Since we really did not want to make this compliance filing anyway, I would say we probably wouldn't mind if FERC rejected our tariff sheet outright. However, it's more likely that they will just instruct us to clarify our language. Or they could tell us to remove the "subject to transportation and fuel" provision. If we want to preserve our right to charge transport and fuel, it might be worthwhile filing something in the way of an answer. However, I am going to need some assistance in understanding what the language means and why we think we can do it, so I can justify it to FERC.

Reuters English News Service, 08/23/01 Politics & Economy European Notebook Gas Liberalization Turns Volatile For German Utility By Philip Shishkin Staff Reporter 08/23/2001 The Wall Street Journal Europe 2 (Copyright (c) 2001, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) Two years ago, the municipal utility in Heidelberg, Germany decided to do something very unusual for European utilities. It went shopping for natural gas. For more than 40 years, the utility, Stadtwerke Heidelberg, didn't have a choice in suppliers. As with other large industrial buyers of natural gas in Europe, it was locked into long-term supply contracts; in its case, with Ruhrgas AG and two other regional pipeline operators, which own most of the natural gas pipelines in Germany and are regulated by German authorities. But in 1998, the European Union moved to deregulate Europe's natural gas market, freeing factories, utilities and other large industrial gas purchasers to forgo their traditional suppliers and look elsewhere. The directive took effect in August 2000. So when Stadtwerke Heidelberg's latest contract expired, it went shopping for gas, one of the first German utilities to do so. "We wanted to show that it's possible to get gas from another supplier," said Peter Erb, the utility's manager of energy trading. "All the big players in the German market were saying it's not possible." As for his traditional suppliers, Mr. Erb said, "They were very angry." In the end, Stadtwerke Heidelberg succeeded in finding an alternative supplier, but the utility's troubles in the open market show just how difficult the process can be. The utility and its new supplier, Enron Corp. of the U.S., had to negotiate with Ruhrgas and the two other natural gas providers for six months before they could get access to transmission pipelines. They also had to navigate through a confusing thicket of tariffs, rules and technical requirements. Although the EU's gas directive required pipeline owners to provide non-discriminatory access to their system, it didn't make clear how that would be done. As many would-be gas suppliers quickly learned, negotiating such access can be very tough. The rules differ in different European nations and the pipeline owners can use the confusing regulations to their advantage to frustrate competitors. So far, there isn't "the degree of competition that the industrial gas users expect from a liberalized market," said Francesco Balocco, energy issues manager at the European operations of Dow Chemical Co. Energy consulting firm Dri-Wefa recently surveyed 59 large industrial gas buyers, and found that while 40% have sought new gas contracts, only 12% have switched suppliers. The survey identified 13 new entrants into the gas-supply market, including incumbent national players expanding in other EU countries and also large energy-trading firms such as Enron. Stadtwerke Heidelberg started its effort to diversify its natural-gas purchasing in December 1999, when it had just months remaining on its 20-year contract. Mr. Erb picked up the phone and started calling potential suppliers and found the most interest at Enron's German headquarters. The Houston, Texas-based natural gas giant had grown explosively at home by competing for business against monopoly gas providers, and it was looking to do the same abroad. It took the two companies six months to secure access to pipelines in Germany. "It's absolutely natural for a network operator that is also competing in the supply market to try to keep us off the network," said Paul Hennemeyer, Enron's director of regulatory affairs. Enron's officials ran into constant delays, were asked to supply more and more information and sometimes even had a hard time reaching the right people at the companies they were negotiating with, Mr. Hennemeyer said. Ruhrgas says it was trying to be helpful, but argues that lengthy negotiations were inevitable because it was tackling many access issues for the first time. "We made every contribution to provide for fair and easy access network access," said a Ruhrgas spokeswoman. "In the beginning, the system needed some time to develop." Shortly after a deal was reached, the German government spelled out new rules on pipeline access, which will make future negotiations easier. In Oct. 2000, Enron began to deliver gas to Stadtwerke Heidelberg, and to another German municipal utility, which followed a similar negotiating path. Stadtwerke Heidelberg moved cautiously; it bought 30% of its natural gas from Enron, with the remainder from its traditional suppliers. Enron and Stadtwerke Heidelberg won't discuss the details of their contract, though both say Enron offered a cheaper price than Stadtwerke Heidelberg's other suppliers. But the German utility quickly absorbed the cost-saving lessons of a deregulated market: Starting in October, the utility will drop Enron in favor of another company, Wingas, which has built a new pipeline to Heidelberg. The reason: a combination of a better price and the convenience of a new supply route. "We obviously didn't break out the Champagne," Enron's Mr. Hennemeyer recalls. But he says Enron welcomes such switching of suppliers in general as a sign of the free market. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. A Section 2 Sides Spend Millions To Generate Support 08/23/2001 The Washington Post FINAL A15 Copyright 2001, The Washington Post Co. All Rights Reserved To hear executives at Enron Corp. tell it, their company has been outgunned for years by the giant utilities in the lobbying battles in Washington over electricity policy. "We're a little guy," said Jeffrey K. Skilling, who served as chief executive of the Houston company until he quit last week. "We've been fighting a battle against some very big hitters." From 1992 to 1999, utilities spent large sums to keep electricity deregulation at bay, helping to prevent Congress from taking any action to mandate it at the local level and engineering a House restructuring bill generally viewed as favorable to utilities. That bill died in the House Commerce Committee in 1999. "A ferocious lobbying campaign was waged" on retail deregulation, said a former Republican aide. Southern Co., the big Atlanta-based utility holding company, made its influence felt, he added. In 1992, Southern hired Mississippian Haley Barbour to work for it in Washington. Barbour left in 1993 to serve as chairman of the Republican National Committee, a post he held until 1997. When he left the RNC, Southern again used his services. After the GOP took control of Congress in 1995, the company also had direct access to House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), who looked out for the company's utilities in their home states. Reports filed last year with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission provide other insights into the source of Southern's strength in the South. In 1999, its affiliates in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida reported spending more than $20 million on various civic, political and related activities, including $250,000 for the Birmingham Early Learning Center, $323,717 for the Mississippi Power Foundation, and dozens of other gifts ranging from $5,000 to the Gulf Coast Symphony to $191,398 for community charities in north Florida. But Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay was cultivating his own GOP connections. A longtime fundraiser and activist for former president George Bush, Lay and Enron officials had contributed more than $550,000 to his son's presidential bid by July 1999, according to the Center for Public Integrity. Lay, according to a spokesman, has also helped raise money for House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) and for his Republican Majority Issues Committee, which was set up in 1999 to support House GOP members facing close races. Nonetheless, Southern Co. still outspent Enron on lobbying in 1999 by $4.2 million to $1.9 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. "People talk about Enron being big and powerful," Skilling said. "I mean, come on . . . the utilities were powerful adversaries. We're still a little company compared to them." -- Dan Morgan http://www.washingtonpost.com Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. A Section Traders, Old Utilities Tangle Over Wires Dan Morgan Washington Post Staff Writer 08/23/2001 The Washington Post FINAL A01 Copyright 2001, The Washington Post Co. All Rights Reserved ATLANTA -- Last of three articles Ever since steamboat captain W.P. Lay founded Alabama Power Co. in 1906 to develop electricity along the Coosa River, utility companies have been stringing wires throughout the South for one purpose: so southerners could have power and light. Now a bunch of outsiders, who buy and sell electricity but don't have a single retail customer below the Mason-Dixon line, have their sights set on those wires, and they are getting a helping hand from some powerful allies in Congress and the Bush administration. Aided by supercomputers, and operating out of trading rooms as big as hockey rinks, the new breed of traders buy blocks of electricity anywhere along the nation's power grid, then borrow transmission lines to ship it to the highest bidder. But to more effectively move power from where it is cheap to where it is in strong demand, they want to remove what they contend is a "wire curtain" around the South. That means forcing the southeastern utilities to relinquish control of the wires to a new, federally supervised regional authority. "The monopoly is the wires, and that's where the battles occur," said Jeffrey K. Skilling, who was chief executive of Houston's Enron Corp., the largest of the power merchants, until he resigned last week. The clash grows out of a huge federal gamble on electricity deregulation. In 1992, with many utility behemoths staggering under debt from cost overruns on nuclear plants and the rapid spread of computer technology putting new demands on the grid, Congress opted for a competitive market. The plan was to dismantle long-standing utility monopolies and replace them with innovative electricity companies responsive to the laws of supply and demand. Now these new merchants of power, along with restructured utilities that have shed their old ways and embraced the new competitive world, have become strong advocates for a free-flowing, national electricity market. But in a classic Washington lobbying confrontation, they are running into resistance from traditional utilities, exemplified by Atlanta's Southern Co., now the parent of Alabama Power and other southern utilities. At issue is how fast the federal government, in the wake of the California electricity crisis, should push for yet more changes. Last month, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), recently stocked with President Bush's pro-market appointees, ordered most utilities to negotiate with federal mediators on procedures for handing over control of their wires to a few big regional authorities. Those authorities, in turn, will build new transmission lines, do away with bottlenecks, set uniform rates and ensure equal access to all. Next month, the Senate will take up proposals to give FERC even more authority to restructure the electricity industry. But what is good for Enron may not necessarily be good for utility customers in the South, according to executives at Southern Co., whose affiliates dominate power sales in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and north Florida. Southern Co., Chairman H. Allen Franklin said in a recent interview, "will not go blindly" into the system proposed by FERC. Although unfettered access to Southern's 26,650 miles of lines might help long-distance sellers of wholesale power such as Enron, company officials say it could mean congestion, power outages and higher prices for their 3.9 million retail customers. "When California was restructured, it was thought there would be massive savings," Franklin said. "Well, there haven't been." Building the Power Trade If the California energy crisis left doubts about the future of a competitive market in electricity, a visit to Houston dispels them. In the city's energy alley, Enron Corp. -- with annual sales of more than $100 billion last year, double those of Texaco -- is finishing a new 40-floor office building adjacent to its 50-story tower. Enron's competitors, Dynegy Inc., Reliant Energy and El Paso Energy, are a few blocks away. Duke Energy North American, merchant arm of Charlotte-based Duke Power, has settled in as well. And Calpine Corp. plans to take over 12 floors of a new 32-story building near Enron. These power merchants are at the center of a burgeoning unregulated wholesale market, which now handles about a quarter of U.S. electricity output. But it is still a work in progress, fluid and accommodating in the Northeast and parts of the Midwest but much less open in the South. In exchange for utilities opening up their transmission lines to the new wholesale market, the 1992 Energy Policy Act law allowed them to buy or build unregulated power plants outside their service areas. Many did. Quickest to embrace competition were California and the Northeast, which had long endured high power costs. To spur competition, California and some northeastern states went further, requiring utilities to sell off their regulated plants and begin buying bulk power from wholesalers. Many states went further still, ending their utilities' long monopoly over retail sales and allowing customers to pick their own electricity provider. The Northeast already was something of a mecca for power traders because of its experiments with power pooling, in which groups of utilities merge their separate transmission systems and use a central manager to market and distribute their electricity. Enron, formed in 1985 by the merger of two big gas-pipeline companies, was quick to seize the opportunities. Its chairman, Kenneth Lay, a former official at the Federal Power Commission, FERC's precursor, during the Nixon administration, had pioneered natural gas trading during the volatile period of pipeline deregulation in the 1980s. As the electricity market began to develop in the early 1990s, Lay and Skilling, a weekend dirt biker with a degree from Harvard Business School, began applying some of the lessons learned in the natural gas markets. Enron signed its first long-term power contract in 1989, Skilling recalls. Independent companies that wanted to install gas-fired generators and sell the power on the grid could buy the gas from Enron under long-term contract -- then sell the electricity back to Enron. "We started creating forward and futures markets" using "a lot more financial engineering" than was required in other commodity businesses, Skilling said. By the late 1990s, Enron was buying the output of generating plants days, weeks, months and even years before it was produced, using sophisticated weather and economic data to predict a price at which it could be profitably sold. During the past five years, Enron has been one of the nation's fastest-growing companies. Its net income rose 40 percent in the second quarter of this year, although the price of a share has sunk to less than half of its 2000 high of $90, mainly because of setbacks in businesses unrelated to electricity. Investors pushed the price still lower after Skilling's departure last week. Southern Inhospitality Like other merchants, Enron plunged into California after the legislature opened up that giant state to electricity competition. But the Southeast remained less-friendly territory. Texas is the only southern state to adopt retail deregulation. Florida goes so far as to ban out-of-state companies from building almost any plant for the wholesale market. The region is the domain of huge traditional utilities that control the wires from Louisiana to Florida and up into Appalachia and the Carolinas. The web of power lines, tied to the utilities' coal-, nuclear- and gas-fired generating plants, reaches across states via 500-kilovolt workhorses and down into neighborhoods served via single wires strung on wooden poles. For Southern Co., its reputation as a traditional utility heavy is a badge of pride. In 1997, it displayed a picture of a gorilla on its annual report. Clustered around its borders are Entergy, another huge holding company that serves Louisiana, Arkansas, and parts of Mississippi and Texas; Florida Power & Light; Carolina Power & Light; Duke Power; and the federal government's centralized power giant, the Tennessee Valley Authority. Those utilities have been under little pressure from customers to share the lines with wholesale competitors in the interest of lower prices. Prices run 15 percent or more below the national average, thanks to a rich lode of coal and natural gas and general public acceptance of the high-tension lines that carry the power generated by those fuels. FERC, in a series of orders from 1996 to 2000, required utilities to open their wires for power shipments by independent merchants and to post how much transmission capacity they have available at any given time. The message, a former official said, was "they couldn't use the wires to preclude others from getting their juice to market." But merchants say it is difficult to ascertain the accuracy of the postings made by the southeastern utilities because they operate the transmission lines as part of their closed, plant-to-customer systems. A November 2000 FERC staff investigation of bulk power markets in the Southeast concluded that the transmission monopoly enjoyed by the region's utilities has discouraged independent power producers from siting new plants in the region. FERC investigators cited Southern Co.'s refusal to let SkyGen Energy Inc. connect to its transmission lines in Alabama. Southern said the added load "would cause an area-wide stability problem for electric supply." In that case, FERC denied SkyGen's request for relief. Enron Vice President Kevin Presto said that day-ahead sales to customers such as municipal utilities in Southern's territory have become possible. But he said Enron has trouble getting long-term transmission commitments from Southern that would enable it to sell such power regularly. Also, he said, Enron cannot easily move power long distances through Southern's grid. "If I tried to buy transmission across Southern Co. to Jacksonville Electric, there'd be zero available," Presto said. Of the overall situation in the Southeast, he said that the utilities "give you 0 to 5 percent of their transmission capability because they preserve the rest of it for native load [retail customers]. So you have a huge highway that's supposed to promote the free sale of electrons that isn't available to the wholesalers." Southern Co. Chairman Franklin dismissed as "unfounded" the complaints of the merchants, and officials representing Alabama and Georgia municipal utilities tied to Southern Co.'s lines say they generally have been treated well. Robert Johnston, president of the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG), which supplies power to 48 towns, took issue with the notion of a wire curtain. "The market is growing in Georgia," he said. MEAG has its own trading room and has done business with a hundred or so traders or independent power producers. It also has its own generators producing power at four sites, though Southern Co. has an interest in all of them. "There's not a grass-roots interest" driving the reforms, Franklin said. "It's the wholesale players." While it squares off against the newcomers in the Southeast, though, Southern itself has aggressively exploited the growing wholesale market. Until it was spun off as a separate company earlier this year, Mirant Corp., Southern Co.'s marketing subsidiary, competed in California, the Midwest and the North, supplementing leaner profits from Southern Co.'s regulated units. "Southern's strategy has been clear: Compete elsewhere and run a monopoly at home," said Allen Mosher, director of policy analysis at the American Public Power Association. Well Connected for Battle The next move is up to the federal government. Next month, Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, plans to propose legislation giving FERC expanded powers over wholesale transactions and transmission, so that "vested interests" will not be able to "manipulate the use of the transmission system" to benefit their own plants, Bingaman's office said. In the House, key players will be Commerce Committee Chairman W.J. "Billy" Tauzin (R-La.), whose state is home to Southern Co.'s western neighbor, Entergy, and Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.), chairman of the energy and environment subcommittee, who has had close ties to the huge coal-dependent Texas utility TXU. Last week, Entergy hired former FERC chairman Curt L. Hebert Jr., a Mississippi prote{acute}ge{acute} of Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), to handle regulatory and government affairs. Enron recently hired a former aide to House Majority Leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.), as well as a former senior spokesman in the Bush campaign, Edward Gillespie of Quinn Gillespie & Associates. Enron officials are counting on support from House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), the hometown Houston congressman, though it is uncertain how much influence DeLay, an enthusiast for electricity deregulation, can bring to bear. Industry lobbyists who gathered on Capitol Hill in July for closed-door meetings that DeLay sponsored, but did not attend, could not reach consensus on electricity. As a result, the energy bill passed by the House on Aug. 2 skirted key issues involving greater accessibility to the grid and electricity reliability. Bush's election, and the fact that many utilities have plunged enthusiastically into the competitive market, clearly has created a more favorable political climate for the power merchants. Bush's first two appointees to FERC, Pat Wood III and Nora Mead Brownell, moved quickly to fix what they viewed as the Washington electricity bottleneck. Wood had worked with Enron during a six-year effort to create a more competitive energy market in Texas, where Wood headed the state's public utility commission. Brownell, a former Pennsylvania utility regulator, won praise from Enron in 1997 when she helped block a restructuring plan that Enron contended would keep it out of the Philadelphia market. On July 11, with a majority in tow, Wood, Brownell and William L. Massey, a Clinton appointee who is an ardent supporter of competition, tossed out proposals by Southern Co. and other utilities and directed utilities throughout the country to commence negotiations with federal mediators on handing over control of their lines to four independent regional transmission organizations, or RTOs. "It was about time [a bomb] was dropped," Wood said. But FERC's action may only have been what power association's Mosher calls the "beginning of a long movie." Among those opposing expanded FERC authority are environmentalists who are fearful that new federal powers could lead to an expansion of high-voltage power lines; western property-rights advocates; and state utility regulators. Politically well-connected groups not now regulated by FERC -- including the TVA, rural electric co-ops and municipal power systems -- are also wary of new federal powers. "There are big questions about FERC's role, who will determine transmission-line charges, should there be federal [authority] to site power lines, should there be FERC jurisdiction over power generation and reliability," said Rep. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), vice chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Idaho utility regulator Marsha Smith, who heads the electricity committee for the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners, noted that her state's three investor-owned utilities cannot transfer ownership or control of their transmission lines "without our approval." Such approval does not seem likely anytime soon. Smith noted that 60 percent of the state's power comes from hydroelectric dams. "That's public property," she said. In Alabama, James Sullivan, a state utility regulator overseeing Southern Co.'s affiliate, said he was not happy about the way FERC was proceeding. "I'm opposed to any [changes to] our electric system in Alabama until I know it's going to bring rates down and enhance reliability for us," he said. In the view of Southern Co. Chairman Franklin, it is still an "open question" whether FERC has the legal authority to force utilities to surrender control of all their wires. Nonetheless, the restructuring of the power markets may already have gone too far to "put the genie back in the bottle," according to a former FERC official. The power merchants readily concur. "Everybody's paying too much because you've got this huge conservatism built into this bureaucratic operation of the utilities," Enron's Presto said.

Business/Financial Desk; Section A Relentless Search for Growth Humbles a Mutual Fund Star By PATRICK McGEEHAN 08/23/2001 The New York Times Page 1, Column 1 c. 2001 New York Times Company James D. McCall was one of Wall Street's best stock pickers in the late 1990's, his hand so hot that Merrill Lynch, eager to revive sales of its mutual funds, paid a ransom to his previous employer to win his services. Starting early last year, Merrill's brokers collected more than $1.5 billion from their clients for Mr. McCall to invest. But in a breathtaking reversal of fortune, Mr. McCall has compiled one of the worst investment records of the new century with that money. All but about $650 million has been lost, leaving shares that cost many Merrill customers more than $10 each worth slightly more than $2. As of Tuesday, Mr. McCall's main fund, Merrill Lynch Focus Twenty, held the rare distinction of ranking in the bottom 1 percent among funds of its kind for the previous day, week, month, quarter and year, according to Morningstar Inc., a company that analyzes mutual funds. Though Mr. McCall is free to invest anywhere in the stock market, he has stuck to a growth-seeking strategy that kept the fund invested primarily in technology stocks throughout that sector's long, steep decline. Down almost 80 percent in the last year, the fund's performance has been significantly worse than that of the average technology fund, let alone its peer group of more diversified funds. It did, however, register aggressive gains in two market rallies. Lately, the Focus Twenty fund seemingly went from bad to cursed as some of Mr. McCall's favorite stocks were laid even lower by a series of unfortunate surprises. His bigger holdings include Enron, whose shares fell 8 percent after its chief executive suddenly resigned, and Ciena, which dropped 30 percent in a day on disappointing earnings. ''It has been a miserable week,'' Mr. McCall allowed in an interview on Tuesday. ''It's not easy managing a portfolio like this in this type of an environment.'' Mr. McCall's rapid rise and fall demonstrates how fleeting stock-picking stardom can be, said John C. Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Group mutual fund company. Too often, Mr. Bogle said, investors chase after the past returns of the fund manager of the moment, only to find out they were pursuing a ''comet.'' (Investors in Vanguard's own aggressive growth fund, Vanguard Growth Equity, have had their shares drop 53 percent in value from their peak 17 months ago.) Still, Vanguard is known for its index funds -- the antithesis of Mr. McCall's stock-picking discipline -- and Mr. Bogle is indexing's most outspoken champion. In speeches around the country, he has repeatedly and coyly -- avoiding any mention of Merrill's name -- cited the giant brokerage firm's creation of Focus Twenty and another fund in March 2000 as an example of racing to cash in on the latest market fad. In roughly five weeks, Merrill's brokers gathered a total of more than $2 billion for Focus Twenty and the Internet Strategies fund. Almost immediately, those funds collapsed along with the Internet and technology stocks they owned. Internet Strategies, which Mr. McCall does not manage, never recovered and has now lost more than 80 percent of its value; Merrill plans to merge it with another of its stock funds. But Mr. McCall, 47, said his fund did not face a similar fate. Indeed, he said, Robert Doll, the chief investment officer for Merrill's funds, recently told the firm's brokers that Merrill was committed to Focus Twenty and its aggressive, concentrated style. Mr. Doll was not available for comment, but Merrill confirmed Mr. McCall's account. ''We are committed to having a full range of investment styles, aggressive growth being one of them,'' said a spokesman, Erik Hendrickson. Funds seeking to rack up market-beating returns by making big bets on as few as 20 stocks proliferated in the late 1990's, in part because of Mr. McCall's success managing the PBHG Large Cap 20 fund for Pilgrim Baxter, a fund company in Wayne, Pa. In the two and a half years Mr. McCall ran it, the PBHG fund ranked first among its peer group -- funds that buy stocks of large companies whose earnings are expected to grow quickly -- with average annual returns of more than 50 percent. It was those knockout numbers that brought Merrill calling in its search for proven growth-fund managers to broaden the firm's value-oriented lineup of funds. After Mr. McCall accepted Merrill's job offer, Pilgrim Baxter sued to stop him from breaking his employment contract. Mr. McCall countersued, and Merrill later agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to settle the litigation. In court papers, Pilgrim Baxter disclosed that Mr. McCall had earned as much as $1.5 million annually there. Mr. McCall and Merrill officials have repeatedly declined to reveal how much the firm paid Pilgrim Baxter or any details of Mr. McCall's compensation at Merrill. Often, however, investment returns affect the pay of fund managers. Like Focus Twenty, most of the concentrated funds sank last year with the collapse of technology stocks. The managers of some of those funds, including Marsico Focus, have shifted money out of volatile technology and telecommunications stocks and into more mature companies, like Citigroup and Omnicom, which owns ad agencies. Mr. McCall sniffed at some of those choices, saying that the fund managers were not staying true to their mission of aggressive growth investing. ''I'm not going to own an Omnicom,'' he said, ''or a Sony or a Viacom or General Dynamics, because they're growing in the single digits.'' Thomas Marsico, the manager of Marsico Focus and one of the original concentrated-fund managers, did not return a call seeking comment. Mr. McCall said he would continue to try to identify the companies that have the best chance of increasing their profits at extraordinary rates, regardless of what value other investors are assigning to those prospects at any given time. ''Valuation is not one of the factors that enters into our methodology,'' Mr. McCall said. About 70 percent of Focus Twenty's assets are in technology stocks, according to Morningstar. But the fund's biggest holding now is Idec Pharmaceuticals, a drug maker. Kunal Kapoor, a Morningstar analyst who tracks Merrill's funds, calls Mr. McCall a momentum investor who seeks ''growth at any price.'' Mr. McCall may be the best investor of that stripe, Mr. Kapoor said, but the strategy is so risky that he questions whether it was ever appropriate for so many of Merrill customers. ''I was really surprised by the amount of funds they were able to raise for a fund like that in such a short time,'' Mr. Kapoor said. ''The question is: Do you really need a fund like this?'' Reading a prepared statement, Mr. Hendrickson said Merrill Lynch considered concentrated funds to be ''an appropriate option'' for some investors, because they ''maximize the impact of professional stock-picking over the long term and additionally may serve as an alternative to individual stock holdings.'' He pointed out that Merrill managed another concentrated fund, Merrill Lynch Focus Value, that had performed well this year, gaining more than 3 percent. As for Mr. McCall's returns, Mr. Kapoor said he could not fault Focus Twenty because it had performed as would be expected for a fund of its composition. It rang up some of the biggest gains of any fund in two brief periods when the market picked up -- the third quarter of 2000 and April of this year -- and some of the biggest losses when the market was down. Rather, he said he was more disappointed with the other fund Mr. McCall manages, the Merrill Lynch Premier Growth fund, which is supposed to be less volatile because it holds about 50 stocks. That fund is down more than 50 percent this year and has shrunk to less than $100 million in assets. Mr. McCall said that he had warned Merrill's brokers all along just how volatile his returns could be and that Focus Twenty was no place for investors to put money they might need any time soon. But, he said, he thinks that now, more than ever, is the time to take a chance on the fund, with its shares selling for about $2.20. ''I don't think $2 a share is a lot to risk,'' the indomitable fund manager said. ''We could go down from here certainly, but over the long term, there is more potential on the upside than on the downside.'' Photo: Before James D. McCall came to Merrill Lynch, he was at Pilgrim Baxter, where he successfully managed the PBHG Large Cap 20 fund. (Ethan Hill)(pg. C2) Chart: ''Losing Big'' Since March 2000, clients of Merrill Lynch have poured more than $1 billion into the main fund managed by James D. McCall.

Way of Atlanta; Trades Light Up States by Long Distance 08/23/2001 The Washington Post FINAL A15 Copyright 2001, The Washington Post Co. All Rights Reserved If the state of New York avoids brownouts this summer, it will be due in a small way to the efforts of Andrew Gillespie, a young electricity trader who works for Mirant Corp. in an Atlanta suburb. Mirant grew out of Atlanta-based Southern Co.'s aggressive attempt to enter the unregulated market that was developing outside its home region. Early this year, Southern spun off Mirant as a separate company that Wall Street stock traders value at about $11 billion. Gillespie spends much of the day staring at a map of New York that glows green on his computer screen. The map displays the prices at which electricity is selling at key points on the state's power grid. One summer day, Gillespie called a trader who buys electricity from New England's centralized power pool, which manages power sales from regional utilities such as New England Power, Boston Edison and Central Maine Power. He agreed to buy 14 megawatts over a 16-hour period the next day and pay about $9,000. He used the phone to offer the power to the New York Independent System Operator, a nonprofit organization set up to manage the state's wholesale market and its high-voltage transmission system, for a small markup. Then he waited to find out whether the offer was accepted. If it was, he would go online to book a transmission route. If not, he would unload the power on another trader in the over-the-counter market, made up of merchant companies such as Enron Corp., Dynegy Inc., Duke Energy North America, Reliant Energy, El Paso Merchant Group, Calpine Corp. and Entergy-Koch Power Marketing. Traders like the Northeast because it allows one-stop shopping. "If I want to wheel power from Maine through Massachusetts to Connecticut, I pay just one transmission charge rather than having to call each utility and schedule it," said Michael Hobbs, Mirant's marketing director for the northeastern United States. In the South, traders say, booking transmission can be a lot more complicated -- and sometimes impossible. Utilities operate their own contained systems and advise traders when and if they have "ATC," available transmission capacity. Electricity trading is a commodity business not unlike selling wheat, platinum or hog bellies, though it is trickier than most, according to Marce Fuller, Mirant's chief executive, because electricity can't be stored. "Information is paramount," Hobbs said, so Mirant traders keep a constant eye on weather reports and also consult the company's on-site meteorologist. To provide further assistance, a digital board that wraps around the trading room updates information ranging from the temperature and humidity in Brazos County, Tex., to the spot price of electricity at "COB," traders' slang for the California-Oregon border. The jobs of the traders at Mirant, Enron and the other companies didn't exist a few years ago, and neither did most of the companies. Regulated utilities, co-ops and a few big government power agencies, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, generated almost all of the power and shipped it to retail customers over their own wires. Now roughly a quarter of the electricity produced in the United States comes from unregulated companies that sell almost exclusively to the long-distance bulk-power trade -- the wholesale market. -- Dan Morgan http://www.washingtonpost.com Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. UK: Copper pushes ahead in subdued LME pre-market. 08/23/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. LONDON, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Copper prices rebounded in London Metal Exchange (LME) pre-market trade on Thursday, having fallen through the psychological $1,500 a tonne level the previous evening, traders said. "There was nothing on the close last night to suggest anything happening, and there was no interest overnight, but this morning we've seen a number of the electronic screens - particularly Enron - being marked higher," said one senior trader. Three months copper was indicated at $1,513/1,515 at 0850 GMT, up $11 from Wednesday's evening kerb close. "The market hasn't given up the ghost yet. There's still some room to push higher, with minor technical resistance around $1,525," the trader said. With consumer buying still largely absent, trading conditions remained subdued, however. "The appeal of the markets is limited at the moment. Too many fingers have been burned - you can still see a lot of the specs sidelining themselves," the trader said. "We've suffered consumer destocking in the first and second quarters. There's a bit of weakness in the U.S. dollar, which is helpful, but business confidence isn't great." Despite periodic short-covering rallies, the overall downtrend remains in place pending concrete evidence of an upturn in the economic situation, analysts said. "The short-term moving averages may be a bit more constructive after last week's rally, but the trend is still down. I remain sceptical for the time being," the trader said. Aluminium also pushed higher in early trade, indicated up $5 at $1,428/1,430. Initial resistance is evident at $1,430 with a stiffer upside barrier at $1,440, analysts said. Nickel edged up $20 to $5,720/5,750, shrugging off news that Russia's Norilsk Nickel had restarted work at its key nickel plant, which was halted after an accident on Sunday. "The third smelting furnace started working at 0400 local time (2000 GMT) on August 23," spokesman Yevgeny Yerokhin told Reuters. "By this time another two furnaces had already started working." "The plant will fully restore its production volumes by the end of the day on August 24," he added. The smelting division of the nickel plant, in the Norilsk region on the northern Siberian Taimyr peninsula, was halted on Sunday after a leak of melted metal damaged water cooling systems and electricity supply lines. The plant's management has promised to catch up with the output arrears stemming from the accident within a month. The rest of the complex was little moved in early trade. Zinc was indicated unchanged at $849/852, showing little response to overnight news thatthe U.S. Defense National Stockpile Center (DNSC) had cancelled its remaining long-term zinc sales in fiscal year 2001 after it failed to make any zinc award in its latest bid invitation. "DNSC anticipates resuming sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 depending on market conditions," it said in a statement. The DNSC had been offering prime western zinc for sale by sealed bid on a monthly basis. Lead was also unchanged at $480/483, with tin up $10 at $3,870/3,900 and alloy down $5 at $1,180/1,190 after a hefty 1,580-tonne increase in LME stocks. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Papers on Dabhol project not received 08/23/2001 The Times of India Copyright (C) 2001 The Times of India; Source: World Reporter (TM) MUMBAI: The consumers' representative for the Maharashtra Electricity regulatory Commission (MERC), ``Prayas,'' has not yet received the sheaf of documents from the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) concerning the Dabhol power project (DPC) which it had asked for. The MERC had passed an order on July 31 asking the MSEB to furnish the financial documents relating to some contracts signed by Enron for the project. The MSEB is learnt to be now examining the legality of making these documents public after a stern letter from the Dabhol Power Company, pointing out that the board might be liable for ``damages and legal action'' if the contractors take offence to making the documents public. Enron wrote to the MSEB a few days after the order, contending that most of these documents had confidentiality clauses which would make it actionable. Asked about this, sources at DPC said that suppliers would be upset if their terms and conditions were made public since Enron's is only one of the plants sourcing business from them. For instance, Enron's LNG fuel supply contract with an Oman company has a confidentiality clause and would fear exposing its contract terms to the public in view of the fact that over 80 per cent of its supply is concentrated in Japan, Taiwan and Korea. ``It would be damaging for its business if our deal, which is less than 18 per cent of its business, ends up influencing its other deals,'' the source said. Copyright ? 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. INDIA: ANALYSIS-Poor governance hobbles India's reform drive... 08/23/2001 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2001. ANALYSIS-Poor governance hobbles India's reform drive By Alan Wheatley, Asian Economics Correspondent NEW DELHI, Aug 22 (Reuters) - After six months of political stalemate, the rave reviews for Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha's reforming budget have given way to the despairing conclusion that perhaps India embraces change only in a crisis. In which case, a new wave of reforms might not be far away. For unless growth picks up substantially from last year's 5.2 percent pace, policy experts said India would face a further deterioration in its public finances and rising unemployment that could put the world's largest democracy under serious strain. "We can't go on without further reforms for very long because we won't be able to grow even by five percent," said Shashanka Bhide, chief economist of the National Council of Applied Economic Research. "So the crisis is already there. If we're not going to get six percent-plus growth rates, then it's a political problem." There is a broad consensus - on paper - on the need for a second wave of reforms to build on ground-breaking liberalisation measures rushed in after a balance-of-payments crisis in 1991. Because its economy is fairly closed, India has weathered the current global downturn much better than most of its Asian neighbours, who would be delighted with five percent growth. Still, output has slowed for two years in a row as post-reform momentum has petered out. And crucially, five percent growth falls far short of the 8.7 percent average needed over the next decade to achieve Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee's goal of doubling per capita income, currently around $460 a year. "Eight million people come into the workforce every year and a five percent growth rate would leave large numbers of people unemployed, which means there will be greater social unrest," said P Chidambaram, a former finance minister. "A five percent growth rate, while statistically acceptable, is simply politically unacceptable and socially unacceptable." COMPETITIVE POLITICS It was to raise the economy's speed limit that Sinha unveiled in his February budget a raft of far-reaching structural reforms making it easier to fire workers and rolling back the policy of reserving certain industries for small and medium-sized firms. The reforms are high on the list of the many blueprints for change in India but they soon became mired in what the Planning Commission aptly calls the "compulsion of competitive politics". On a charitable view, the slow progress is a reflection of the wondrous kaleidoscope that is India's multi-party democracy. "This is not a country, this is a vast continent in search of a synthesis in the political domain, the social domain and the economic domain," said Amit Mitra, secretary general of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. Less charitably, the legislative paralysis is due to the failure by an enfeebled Vajpayee to crack heads in his unwieldy 19-party coalition and force ministers to put the national interest before the myriad vested interests opposed to change. Arjun Sengupta, a professor at the Centre for Policy Research, said the absence of a unified agenda meant each member of the coalition was ploughing its own furrow, resulting in policy inconsistency that was deterring badly needed investment. "This is the main problem we have today: we do not have a coherent, unified policy framework," Sengupta said. He said the reform task facing the government was all the more difficult because India's most populous and backward states were falling farther and farther behind the better-off ones. "If the Centre cannot take care of the problems of disparity between the states, we are facing major problems which can become explosive," Sengupta, a former ambassador and IMF official, said. Peering through the gloom, optimists point to the precedent of legislation passed without the pressure of a crisis in 1999 to open up India's insurance market to foreign firms. They hope two equally controversial reform bills, to liberalise the crisis-ridden power sector and to make it easier to wind up bankrupt firms, will also eventually become law after they won cabinet approval last week, ending months of wrangling. "Anybody who says reforms have been a failure in this country hasn't looked at figures on poverty very closely," said Planning Commission member N.K. Singh. He said the poverty rate had fallen in the past decade to 27 percent from 37 percent. REFORM PRIORITIES The list of reforms needed to sustain this improvement is lengthy. Because of its pivotal role in the economy, the power sector is many experts' number one priority. The well-catalogued troubles that foreign firms such as Enron Corp have encountered dealing with India's all-but-bankrupt state power boards have flashed warning signals to potential foreign investors. Domestic investors have also been deterred because industrial users pay twice as much as they would in China for electricity. Nevertheless, attempts at serious reform have foundered on twin political rocks: how to end overmanning at the power boards, estimated at 50-70 percent, and how to charge users, mainly farmers, market rates for stolen or heavily subsidised power. D.K. Srivastava, a professor at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, said politicians might consider tough measures if they could be assured that benefits would be visible before they have to seek re-election two or three years later. "Any government under any minister will say to you, How can I survive unless I can show my voters jobs?'," Srivastava said. "This is one of the basic constraints on power sector reform." T.K. Bhaumik, a senior adviser at the Confederation of Indian Industry, agreed and said reformers were partly to blame for having failed to sell the case for change to India's mass poor. "We did not articulate the economic reform process to the people," Bhaumik said. On privatisation, for instance, policy-makers did not spell out the consequences for jobs. "I don't think we really understood the issues properly. We simply followed the Washington consensus and that didn't go down well with the people," he said. As Divestment Minister Arun Shourie knows only too well. The privatisation programme he oversees, a litmus test of India's reform will, is stalled because of what Shourie calls "fractured" politics and "noise" generated by corporate interests. Shourie said he could only hope that fading growth would jolt India's politicians into putting the country's interests first. "We're on the cusp at the moment on the question of reforms and I feel the real circumstances in which India is placed will force the political class to do the right thing," he said.

Re: Southern RTO From Christi Nicolay ---------------------- Forwarded by Linda J Noske/HOU/ECT on 07/05/2001 09:59 AM --------------------------- From: Joe Connor@ENRON on 07/03/2001 10:29 PM To: Donna Fulton/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT@ECT, James D Steffes/NA/Enron@ENRON, Sarah Novosel/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: Re: Southern RTO I would guess that AEC has had a change of heart - since they signed the MOU with Southern. I would expect them to withdraw their comments. I will talk to Jeff Parrish at AEC and find out what's going on. I talked to Bob Reilley about the EPSA filing. He made it sound like it had just been forgotten in the rush and he didn't seem to have a clear idea about what EPSA should say in a filing. That's funny since he drafted the original document we started talking from. Anyway, we discussed it again and he agreed to get back to EPSA and discuss a filing. The topics would be: (1) MOUs don't mean much (2) No real progress has been shown (3) FERC need to oversee the process (4) FERC needs to ensure a collaborative process is implemented I didn't tell Bob that Enron wants to stay out of it, but we talked about it being better to have EPSA carry the ball when we first started looking at this. I think your bringing it up in the EPSA phone call will help. Let me know if it looks like Bob is not following up with EPSA. Donna Fulton 07/03/2001 01:18 PM To: Joe Connor/NA/Enron@Enron cc: Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT@ECT, James D Steffes/NA/Enron@ENRON, Sarah Novosel/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: Re: Southern RTO Joe, I agree with the approach that we should try to get EPSA to file. I have spoken with Mark Bennett over at EPSA and he indicated that he hadn't gotten to it. Perhaps I should bring it up on the EPSA call this Thursday, just a gentle reminder. AEC was the culprit who commented on June 22. They were extremely negative about Southern's lack of results in their "attempt" to increase participation in the RTO. They said, "Southern suggests no more than the possibility of another paper 'RTO proposal' by December 15, 2001." They do ask for a technical conference by FERC staff and then a settlement judge proceeding thereafter. Joe Connor 07/02/2001 11:43 AM To: James D Steffes/NA/Enron@Enron, Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT@ECT, Sarah Novosel/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Donna Fulton/Corp/Enron@ENRON cc: Subject: Re: Southern RTO I met with Andy Dearman and Bill Newman of Southern on Friday. They talked about what is going on with the non-jurisdictional utilities that have signed a MOU to develop a RTO. The group has met a couple of times to discuss the process they will use. Confidentiality agreements have been signed, so no details are available, but they have agreed to a voting structure for the development. Southern has about one third of the votes (and 65%of the assets) and it takes at least two other parties agreeing with Southern to carry a vote. Southern says they spent a lot of time convincing the other parties that Southern was not going to run, or dominate, the process. After that, Southern said the group started to pull together and get organized for the development. They said everyone in the group appeared to be ready to find ways to make the RTO work and resolve the hurdles the non-jurisdictional utilities have been expressing with the development of other RTOs. They said there were some rough spots that had to be resolved and they couldn't be sure agreement would be reached, but at this point there was a lot of cooperation. Andy and Bill wanted to convince me that this was not a delaying tactic by Southern and they were doing everything possible to ensure that a complete RTO filing could be ready by 12/15/01. They also said they thought this is what Ed Holland wanted to discuss with Steve Kean. We talked about how other stakeholders could have input to the development. They said that it was too early to make any commitment, but the group had started thinking about it and they expected an input process to be available by late summer. They said Southern was in favor of some process that would provide stakeholders the opportunity to look at what was being considered and advise the development group as early as possible. They said they understood the difficulty stakeholders had with the approach Southern used in its initial filing and wanted to do it different, but they pointed out again that Southern could not dictate the process that would be allowed by the group. In the meantime, they said if we wanted to provide position papers on any part of the RTO development they would make sure the papers were circulated in the group or we could continue to hold bilateral discussions with them or other members of the development group. Jim, I still think it would be worthwhile to have a meeting between Ed and Steve Kean, and I would include you and invite Andy and Bill to come. I don't think they want to discuss anything technical at this point; they just want to convince Enron that the approach Southern is taking provides the quickest development of a RTO for the Southern area, and they want any help we can give in convincing FERC to let this process run. I also think we need to pass on filing a response to Southern's May 15th status report, either alone or with Alabama Municipal Electric Authority ( Donna, I guess that's who you meant in the memo below, since AEC has signed a MOU with Southern?). I will get in touch with Bob Reilley to find out why we haven't heard from EPSA on its filing. I still think that's the best approach. Donna Fulton 06/28/2001 12:02 PM To: Joe Connor/NA/Enron@Enron, Tom Chapman/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: James D Steffes/NA/Enron@Enron, Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT@ECT, Sarah Novosel/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: Southern supplemental status report I am attaching the supplemental status report that Southern filed in its RT01-77 on June 20. They have included MOUs with Georgia Transmission Corp, Santee Cooper and Alabama Electric Coop to work on development of an RTO. These are really general, more of the same of what we've seen from Southern. Also we had talked about possible comments on the May 15 Southern filing; Coral was working on comments through EPSA. Nothing has been filed by EPSA yet. Alabama did file comments on the May 15 status report and they have asked that the FERC establish a technical conference to "publicly air and evaluate the alleged governance concerns and the concerns regarding significant delay..." Following a technical conference, they ask for a judge to convene a settlement conference at FERC to "undertake a properly supervised and serious development of an RTO for the SE without further wasted time." At this point we could consider filing comments in support of the Coop comments.

I'd like to say i read the gas daily everyday but i miss it a lot.. there are a few things going on.. the client is long cy02/short cy03 socal.. and the deal last week impacts that position.. thats their interest. our interest is whether or not there are more of these deals coming.. which i was trying to figure out. what have you been seeing flow-wise lately? -----Original Message----- From: Arnold, John Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 7:34 AM To: Abramo, Caroline Subject: RE: NG deal in California who wrote the market commentary are at the bottom of this and who wrote the rest? -----Original Message----- From: Abramo, Caroline Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 4:44 PM To: Arnold, John; Maggi, Mike Cc: Quigley, Dutch; Griffith, John; Zivic, Robyn Subject: FW: NG deal in California sorry not to send this earlier.. i checked out the dept water resources site.. (wwwowe.water.ca.gov).. nothing too illuminating except that their power costs have come down from over $300 in march to$45 this month but due to the nature the borrowing costs associated with the LT contracts, they will not be able to pass on much savings to consumers (gotta love that). we were supposed to have received a copy of all their LT purchases in July. checking what happened there. we know that there were 54 contracts signed .. half linked to gas which covered 1/3 of cali's total needs (looks like for 10 years). some left open the possibility of the state procuring gas supplies for the plants.. dwr has signed 6 agreements w/ gas suppliers..pretty sure cali uses 25,000-45,000 MW per year which is about 70 contracts a day in gas terms. If they locked in 1/3.. it would be about 25/day.. the deal they just did was about 16/day for just cal02..probably waiting for curve to flatten further to do more.. they purchased another 500 MW in Aug - the 17th (all 10-12 years)..and to date it looks like they have not purchased anything (have been selling into the grid daily) but not liquidating any previously negotiated LT deals (LT is anything beyond 3 months). it sounds like they are planning on buying more of their gas requirements.. Sempra (who has LT power contracts with DWR and gives them the ability to buy 80% of their gas) said DWR had not purchased any gas yet. Pls note story on page 5 & 6 of todays gas daily... mentions California Dept of Water looking to hedge gas purchases for long-term contracts. over the past few days we have seen Major Inv. Bk Buying Cal 02 Nymex Calls and the same bank buying Cal 02 Socal basis calls - very good size This, we believe, is a hedge for this DWR story. The article mentions that they were "looking at ways to expand its gas purchases". The article does not mention, nor do we know, how far out they are looking to purchase. Socal basis has moved on the back of this deal.... Last week: Cal 02 = 9 cents Cal 03 = 20 cents Today Cal 02 = 18.5 cents Cal 03 = 22 cents....so the spread has moved from 11 cent contango to 3.5 cents. <<102401.pdf>> Other than the call buying we saw related to this deal, the rest of the flow we are seeing is : sellers of vol. Last night settles: Cal 02 vol 51.5% and Cal 03 vol 37.25% - and we are 1 % lower in Cal 02 since the open , and 0.5 % lower Cal 03.

In a meeting today after discussing an internal memorandum that was delivered to Mr. S. for his information, I was told that MERC does not plan to interfere in any way with the operation of merit order dispatch. It will merely espouse economic dispatch in theory but defer to the operational expertise of MSEB. Since MSEB avers in an Affidavit that it is already dispatching based on economic order, nothing will change due to interference by the regulator. This ruling will obviously be in Dabhol's best interest. The recommendation has been dictated by MERC and, as he says, "We will not interfere with Dabhol."

Unify outage Bob: here is our status from this mornings outage event. NWPL: we were able to manually input 80% of next days nominations. Since we were not able to EDI, we will have to manually input all successive nominations for the day, as well as all actual scheduled volumes in Unify. We were also only able to get in our 80% of nominations with NWPL's help, as they extended the nomination deadline for us. The other 20% of next day business will be nominated as an intra-day. El Paso: basically the same as NWPL.. We were able to manually get in 100% of nominations, but only because El Paso kept their system open an extra hour for us. Let me know if you need aything else. Thanks.

We are providing a level of detail for expense and capital spend that is greater than that provided in past years, and that will allow business units to make informed choices regarding the services that they receive. We are meeting with individual business unit Offices of the Chair to review in detail the four service areas delivered through Enron Net Works. Some of these meetings have been completed and more will occur between now and October 12. Please keep the following points in mind as we work with you to finalize budget: Enron Networks today is very different from this time last year. Additions to the 2002 ENW budget are Operations for EA, EIM and EGM. Operations, IT Maintenance and Development, and IT Infrastructure for EES and EBS have been included under the ENW umbrella for the first time in the 2002 budget as well. The 2001 budgets for these functions were approved and included in individual business units last year. Any comparison of ENW's 2002 versus 2001 budget must be appropriately adjusted for these organizational changes to be relevant. For further detail for each business unit, ENW's 2002 expense and capital dollars are organized to mirror each business unit's lines of business (products or commodities) in order to create a transparent view at a more granular level of the costs involved in supporting each of the lines of business. The detail that is being provided to business units for IT costs delineates licensing fees, system maintenance costs and new development costs. Detail on each IT development project identifies the purpose, business sponsor, line of business, "in progress" or "planned" designation, expense and capital spend, system impacted, and estimated completion date. In order to finalize IT project budgets, decisions will be required from the business units on which projects to undertake in 2002. If you have questions about the ENW budgets as we are working with you to finalize them, please call one of us. Greg Piper Sally Beck Mark Pickering

Reuters English News Service, 12/11/00 Dynegy's New E-Commerce Site Had $1.5 Bln in November Trading Bloomberg, 12/11/00 Business; Financial Desk Markets Utility Stocks May Stall Amid Tech Rebound THOMAS S. MULLIGAN ? 12/12/2000 Los Angeles Times Home Edition Page C-4 Copyright 2000 / The Times Mirror Company NEW YORK -- Electric utility stocks, driven by strong power demand, falling bond yields and defensive-minded investors, have had a remarkable year so far. The Dow Jones utility stock index is up 36% year to date, while most U.S. blue-chip indexes are in the red. But in recent weeks many utility stocks have flattened. California's current power crisis notwithstanding, analysts note that we are headed into the part of the year when electricity demand slackens. Is the utility sector played out for now? Is it time to take profits and move on? Experts who follow electric utilities say much depends on the rest of the stock market. It's no accident that major utility indexes hit bottom in the second week of March, just as the tech-dominated Nasdaq composite index was soaring to its all-time high. Now, if tech stocks continue to recover from their spring and summer collapse, that could divert money from utility shares, analysts say. When a traditionally exciting sector like tech is red-hot, nobody wants to hear about utility stocks, said Doris Kelley-Watkins, portfolio manager of the Evergreen Utility Fund. Many investors who initially piled into utility issues in winter and spring were seeking a safe haven as Nasdaq plunged: With their high-dividend yields, big utility companies have long been favorite defensive plays. But then came the summer peak power-use season, and the country woke up to the reality of an electricity shortage. Utility stocks zoomed. The terrific gains "were a real boon to investors who came here thinking they were going to be bored," Kelley-Watkins said. Indeed, stocks of firms such as Dynegy (ticker symbol: DYN), Calpine (CPN), Reliant Energy (REI) and Duke Energy (DUK) are up more than 70% so far this year. Kelley-Watkins, like a number of Wall Street analysts, believes that the "easy money" in utility stocks already has been made. Nevertheless, there will still be opportunities in the sector as long as generating capacity stays tight--which it is sure to do for at least two or three more years, she said. Some new power plants will be coming online toward the end of 2002, Kelley-Watkins added, but the current supply squeeze has been more than a decade in the making and will not be quickly solved. Hence, some of the biggest gainers this year are utilities that have extensive energy-trading operations--Duke and Reliant, for example. They could continue to take advantage of soaring demand and unusual volatility, Kelley-Watkins said. Dynegy and Houston-based Enron (ENE), the nation's biggest wholesale power marketer as well as a major trader of natural gas and other commodities, are among the Evergreen fund's biggest holdings. Kelley-Watkins also thinks that Sempra Energy (SRE), parent of San Diego Gas & Electric, has made a good transition from a heavily regulated owner of power plants to an energy distributor and transmitter. But she shies away from Sempra's giant California cousins, PG&E (PCG) and Edison International (EIX, parent of Southern California Edison), which she considers too debt-burdened. Nobody welcomes a recession, but Timothy M. Winter, analyst at A.G. Edwards in St. Louis, said an economic downturn probably would help utility stocks, as many remain relatively cheap in terms of price-to-earnings ratios, and would continue to be viewed as a defensive haven. The presidential election outcome also matters, Winter said. Most Wall Streeters think a George W. Bush victory would be a plus for the sector because he probably would be more open than Al Gore to new power plant construction. Winter likes Progress Energy (PGN), formerly Carolina Power & Light, because of its dominance in the fast-growing Southeast. His firm also recommends American Electric Power (AEP) and Xcel Energy (XEL). Michael S. Worms, analyst at Gerard Klauer Mattison in New York, said although electric-utility earnings should continue strong into next year, it will be hard to duplicate this year's 20% average profit gains. "We had a phenomenal year because of tight capacity and high prices," Worms said. Utility stocks probably would have done well on such business fundamentals, but they also received a strong tail wind from the stumbling tech sector, said Worms. If tech shares have bottomed, and if the Federal Reserve speeds the market's recovery with interest-rate cuts, that will hurt the performance of utility stocks, Worms said. His top pick is Calpine, even though shares of the San Jose-based energy generator and marketer already have had an amazing two-year run, up 200% so far this year, on top of a 400% surge in 1999.

All Rights Reserved. INDIA: Enron India unit local lenders to cut rates. 12/12/2000 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2000. BOMBAY, Dec 12 (Reuters) - The Indian unit of U.S. energy giant Enron said on Tuesday that four local lenders have agreed to cut their rates on loans to its project which is under fire from critics for producing costly power. ICICI , Canara Bank, State Bank of India and Industrial Finance Corporation of India have all agreed to cut rates by 450 basis points to 16.5 percent, a spokesman of Dabhol Power Company told Reuters. Dabhol Power Company is 65 percent owned by Enron and is implementing a two-phase 2,184 MW power project in Maharashtra. Phase one of the project is already in operation. The cuts will help in lowering the tariff at which Enron sells power to the Maharashtra government, he said. The spokesman said the firm is considering a reduction in tariff but did not reveal details. Last week, Industrial Development Bank of India agreed to drop rates by a similar margin. The spokesman did not specify when the cuts by the financial institutions would come into effect. The state government wants the project to be reviewed but is yet to take a final view. Enron says the high tariff would come down next year when it switches over to the cheaper fuel of natural gas from naphtha. The project cost of $1.9 billion is financed 70 percent through debt. Enron's project is among the few foreign power projects to have begun operations since India opened up its power sector in 1992. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Three Firms to Sell Natural Gas Instead of Selling Products That Use It Terry Maxon 12/12/2000 KRTBN Knight-Ridder Tribune Business News: The Dallas Morning News - Texas Copyright (C) 2000 KRTBN Knight Ridder Tribune Business News; Source: World Reporter (TM) Here's how expensive natural gas has become: Three companies decided Monday they could make more money from selling their natural gas than from selling products using natural gas. Natural gas prices hit yet another all-time high Monday, closing at $9.413 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That represented an 83-cent increase from Friday's close, up 9.6 percent. Two fertilizer manufacturers, Terra Industries Inc. and Mississippi Chemical Corp., said they were selling natural gas that normally would go to make nitrogen, ammonia or other products. And oil company Seneca Resources Corp. said gas normally used to boost heavy oil production in a California field would be sold instead. Jeff Shorter, vice president of TXU Energy Trading in Dallas, said he's not surprised to hear companies are selling their natural gas rather than using the gas to make their products. "I don't think that's the last of them either," Mr. Shorter said. He said he expects other companies to come to the same decision as Terra. There are a number of companies that have fully hedged their natural gas purchases at lower prices, and can make a profit that "far exceeds" what they can earn from selling their core business products, he said. He noted that the prices in spot markets Monday were even higher than in NYMEX trading. Gas for Midwest delivery ranged from $11 to $13 and $14, and New York gas was at $12 and higher. "Typically, in the winter time we have a great deal of volatility which you don't see in the futures market," Mr. Shorter said. Spot prices have been much higher in the West, where restricted natural gas supplies, shut-down generators and low levels of water for hydroelectric plants have contributed to skyrocketing electricity prices. Terra, based in Sioux City, Iowa, said it closed one of two ammonia plants in Verdigris, Okla., and its Blytheville, Ark., plant this month, so it could sell the natural gas used by those plants. It is profiting about $2 to $3 per MBtu on the gas it is reselling. "The natural gas price increase since our December requirements were purchased for Verdigris permitted us to sell a portion of those purchases and generate higher gross profits than could be realized from selling the products manufactured with the natural gas," said Michael L. Bennett, Terra executive vice president and chief operating officer. On Nov. 30, Terra said it was closing its Beaumont plant because it couldn't make a profit at current gas prices. Terra said then that its production costs would exceed selling prices when natural gas prices climbed above $6. When the decision was announced Nov. 30, NYMEX gas prices closed at $6.673 an MBtu. Since then, the prices have risen nearly $3. Terra said it would re-evaluate the situation toward the end of December. Mississippi Chemical said it was selling all of its futures contracts for natural gas to lock in the current prices. It said it would post a $16 million pre-tax gain by selling the gas contracts. The company's president and chief executive officer, Charles O. Dunn, said selling the natural gas was in Mississippi Chemical's "best interests." "We remain committed to the nitrogen business and our customers, but we also have to take advantage of opportunities to optimize cash flow during these challenging times," Mr. Dunn said. "It is our belief that the current unprecedented natural gas prices are unlikely to be sustained during the intermediate term." Seneca Resources, based in Buffalo, N.Y., said Monday it would sell the natural gas it had been using for its steam injection project at a California oil field. It expects to post a pre-tax profit of about $31,000 a month, it said. "In light of the current natural gas shortage in California, we felt it was important to curtail our steaming operations and allow that gas to be used to heat homes and generate electricity," Seneca president James Beck said. In at least one case, high electricity prices have induced a company to sell off the electricity for which it has contracted rather than continue operations. On Sunday, Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corp. said it would close its Pacific Northwest smelters until at least Oct. 1, 2001, and was selling the electricity those plants would have used. Although it must pay laid-off employees a portion of their salaries, the power sales from December alone will bring Kaiser $52 million. Mr. Shorter of TXU and Mark Palmer, spokesman for Houston energy company Enron Corp., said the arrival of cold weather and the sharply higher natural gas prices have brought more companies to their doors asking for help in managing their energy costs. "Volatility is good for us," Mr. Palmer said. Mr. Shorter said the price of natural gas has justified a switch from natural gas to fuel oil for a number of their customers. Supplies of natural gas have remained adequate, but companies that didn't prepare for winter energy costs will feel a financial hit, Mr. Shorter said. "You're going to see a real economic strain in a lot of geographic regions -- if not nationally -- on the economic viability of a lot of these companies" that had no program to manage energy risks or had plans that were "ill-advised or improperly timed," he said. Terra senior vice president Mark Rosenbury said Monday the company will look at gas prices between Christmas and New Year's to see if it can profitably buy natural gas and reopen the shuttered plants. Mr. Rosenbury said he sees the current spike in natural gas prices as "an aberration" and expects prices to fall to historical norms of $2 to $3 fairly soon. "Maybe it's longer than I think. But the cost of finding, producing and selling natural gas doesn't command the price it's at today," he said. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Indeed, as Abhay Mehta, the author of the incisive expose of the project titled Power Play says, there is little point berating the American company for taking us for a ride when politicians from parties across the spectrum and a galaxy of bureaucrats and public agencies vied with each other in rolling out the red carpet. Maharashtra energy minister Padamsinh Patil has now contradicted his coalition chief minister's assurance that the second phase of the project would be reviewed. This is not the customary double-talk of politicians but the tacit acknowledgement that Mr Patil's National Congress Party mentor Sharad Pawar was responsible as chief minister for pushing through Enron's first phase despite countless objections to what is simply the biggest purchase contract in India's history and one of the largest in the world. In 1993, Mr Pawar went on record that issues such as the import of fuel, total foreign exchange outgo and presumably the power tariff were minor issues to be clarified and that the Foreign Investment Promotion Board would take a decision on them at the time of final review. These are precisely the issues that are coming home to roost. With the built-in escalation clauses in the infamous power purchase agreement, which permits increases in tariffs with a hike in the dollar exchange rate among other factors, the price of power is now over Rs 7 per unit and it is certain to rise further. This will impose a crippling burden on consumers not only householders but, ironically enough, industries, negating the very economic growth that private producers like Enron were supposed to foster. When Mr Pawar capitulated to virtually every demand of the US company, the capital cost was already over twice that of comparable projects elsewhere in the world. Although Enron is often described as one of the world's leading power companies, it is mainly engaged in distributing gas. In 1993, only one per cent of its revenue was earned on producing power. Its use of imported liquefied natural gas as fuel for the Dabhol plant was some four times more expensive than coal, of which India has an abundance. The World Bank, itself an ardent votary of privatisation, criticised the project on several grounds. Since it would amount to one-fifth of the Maharashtra State Electricity Board's capacity, it was likely to have an adverse financial impact, the Bank stated. Consumers would not be willing to pay such a high price and it concluded, on economic grounds, that the project was not viable. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) also pointed out that the project departed from the norm, especially in denominating prices in US dollars. However, Mr Pawar decided to bypass the CEA and overcome the objections of the World Bank and others. At the time, the opposition parties in Maharashtra, the BJP and Shiv Sena, accused Mr Pawar of corruption in shepherding the project through. Mr Gopinath Munde of the BJP made his famous boast that they would throw the project in the Arabian sea. When they came to power in 1995, they appointed a committee to examine whether the project served the state's interests. The committee accused the previous government of committing a grave impropriety under circumstances which made the Enron/MSEB arrangement on Dabhol lack transparency. It came to the irresistible conclusion that several unseen factors and forces seem to have worked to get Enron what it wanted. On this basis, the state government cancelled the first and second phases. The cancellation raised several protests. Manmohan Singh claimed that it could not be done. Then US ambassador Frank Wisner warned of the consequences (he joined Enron as a director the very day after he finished his stint in India). However, the redoubtable Rebecca Mark of Enron flew down to meet Bal Thackeray, the self-proclaimed remote control of the BJP-SS coalition, for a second time. On this occasion, she must have used her considerable persuasive powers to convince the Sena leader to backtrack on the cancellation and the government announced renegotiations. The total payments to Enron under the new agreement was a staggering $35 billion over the project's lifetime and in a blatant misrepresentation, the government claimed it had lowered the tariff. The final straw was in May 1996 when Mr Vajpayee's 13-day minority government ratified the Centre's counter-guarantee to Enron on its very last day in office. When the CITU and Abhay Mehta filed a public interest petition in the Mumbai high court against the project, the arguments given by Enron's lawyers and those representing the government were tendentious to the point of being farcical. Chief minister Manohar Joshi filed an affidavit to make out that his government's earlier allegations of fraud were made on the basis of newspaper reports. Enron got its way and the project went on stream. Even granting that several states were bending over backwards to attract foreign investment in the early nineties, the concessions which were extended to Enron were not merely extravagant but unconstitutional. The financial and legal guarantees committed the Indian state in a manner which no self-respecting country would endure. Much of the political-bureaucratic class connived at this subversion of the rule of law. The power purchase agreement in particular violated the Electricity Supply Act. The Maharashtra government's finance department had admitted in 1994 that if the central government paid the company any sums by way of its guarantee, these would be deducted from the state's RBI account. It is this unconstitutional agreement which ought to serve as the basis for questioning the entire Enron agreement in court. It is obvious that it is against the public interest and it could conceivably be demonstrated that the power elite has acted in its own interest and against that of the Indian people. There is already a precedent in Pakistan where a power purchase agreement with Enron which had a substantially lower cost per MW than Dabhol's was cancelled. Two MoUs which the Karnataka government signed with another US power company, Cogentrix, were also terminated. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Enron deal can be nullified: Retd SC judge 12/12/2000 The Times of India Copyright (C) 2000 The Times of India; Source: World Reporter (TM) MUMBAI: Retired high court judge Hosbet Suresh has stated that the agreement signed between the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) and the Dabhol Power Company (DPC), a subsidiary of US-based Enron, can be nullified. The DPC spokesperson was not available for comment. The state government would be within its rights to cancel the 1993 Power Purchase Agreement on grounds of protection of public interest, he said. ``The power that the Enron plant produces is twice as expensive as its nearest competitor and seven times as expensive as the cheapest electricity available in Maharashtra. The fixed charges, whether MSEB buys electricity or not, alone works out to Rs 1,000 crore a year for Phase I and nearly twice the amount for Phase II and the amount is to be paid for the next 40 years ! What public interest does it serve ?'' Mr Suresh asked in his opinion given to the Enron Virodhi Andolan. The implications of this agreement is to ``exploit'' the people, he said in his five-page statement, adding that ``the government has an obligation to end such exploitation''. Questioning the erstwhile Shiv Sena-BJP government's decision to withdraw the court case against the DPC, Mr Suresh sought to bring forth the inconsistencies during the alliance rule. The Sena-BJP had challenged the PPA declaring it as a ``fraud'' as it was not in keeping with public policy, consumer interest and interest of the state. ``This suit was withdrawn without any of the contentious issues on law and on facts being decided. The government renegotiated without complying any of the requirements under the law,'' Mr Suresh observed. ``The concealment of relevant facts from the public, the unsatisfactory explanation for withdrawing the suit .... all lead to one thing namely that the government at no time had any regard for public welfare...,'' he said. Mr Suresh also pointed out to the earlier petition filed by BJP leader Ramdas Nayak who had challenged the contract to Enron as it was awarded without the process of competitive bidding. Mr Nayak's petition, however, was dismissed on August 19, 1994 and all subsequent petitions which sought to challenge the PPA were also given similar treatment, he said, adding ``without the courts going into he validity of the agreement''. ``Electricity is not a matter of commerce. It is a necessity like light, water and air. There can be no monopoly in this. If someone wants to trade on these elements, he may do so provided he does not exploit the people,'' Mr Suresh said.

Green Mountain Applies To Be 10th Texas Elec Supplier 12/11/2000 Dow Jones Energy Service (Copyright (c) 2000, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) HOUSTON -(Dow Jones)- Green Mountain Energy Co. said Monday it has filed an application with the Texas Public Utility Commission to become a retail electric provider when Texas launches retail electric competition Jan. 1, 2002. At least nine other companies also have filed applications, but Green Mountain said it is the first energy company to apply for a Texas license to sell renewable power, such as wind, sun or hydropower. "We are looking forward to the prospects of doing business in Texas, and we are excited to see regulatory rules being put in place to promote competition, creativity and innovation in the marketplace," said Gillan Taddune, Green Mountain's Texas regional manager. The PUC has approved one REP application from a large industrial company, but the Dallas-based firm, TXI Power Co., only wants to buy electricity to supply its own plants. Other non-utility companies that have filed applications to be certified as Texas retail electric providers, or REPs, include: Sempra Energy Solutions, a unit of Sempra Energy (SRE); Enron Energy Services and Enron Power Marketing, both units of Enron Corp., (ENE); New Power Co., formed this year by Enron, International Business Machines (IBM) and America Online Inc. (AOL); and Shell Energy Services Co., a unit of Royal Dutch/Shell Group (RD). Affiliates of existing Texas utilities have also filed to become REPs. First Choice Power, a subsidiary of TNP Enterprises Inc. has filed. TXU Corp. (TXU), the state's largest investor-owned utility and Reliant Energy (REI), the second largest, also recently filed two applications to create two REPs, one to sell power to large commercial and industrial customers and one to sell power to smaller customers. More companies are expected to begin the certification process in Texas before the end of the year as market rules are finalized. Independent suppliers watching the Texas market include: AES NewEnergy Inc., a unit of AES Corp. (AES); and Exelon Energy (EXC). To be certified, an entity must hold an investment grade credit rating, have $50 million of net worth or have cash resources of $100,000. REPs will be subject to PUC enforcement actions, including penalties, suspension and revocation for violations. A pilot program involving 5% of the state's power customers will begin in June. -By Eileen O'Grady, Dow Jones Newswires; 713-547-9213; [email protected] Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

All Rights Reserved. USA: Big names dominate in Internet energy trading race. By Gelu Sulugiuc 12/11/2000 Reuters English News Service (C) Reuters Limited 2000. NEW YORK, Dec 11 (Reuters) - All bar the biggest of the much-heralded online energy exchanges are struggling to generate liquidity as the oil community sticks with tried and trusted trading habits, analysts and traders said. While most of the 30 online energy exchanges that have sprung up over the last year keep liquidity figures close to their chest, analysts say that the big names - IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) and EnronOnline - are pulling clear. "You can juice up numbers any way you want, but the one that's succeeding today is ICE," said Peter Fusaro, president of energy e-commerce consultants firm Global Change Associates. "The others are floundering because they have no liquidity." ICE which enjoys the backing of such industry heavyweights as BP, Royal Dutch/Shell and TotalFinaElf, traded a total of 200 million barrels of crude and products in the month after it began operating in October. Like all the new energy platforms - which mainly host "over-the-counter" contracts traded outside regulated exchanges, - this is dwarfed by volumes posted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). Volumes on Friday alone on NYMEX crude for January delivery reached almost 40 million barrels of crude oil and almost 25 million barrels of heating oil. Smaller online exchanges such as RedMeteor.com and HoustonStreet Exchange hosted online trades of just 3.5 million barrels and 2.5 million barrels respectively of heating oil in the entire month of October, industry sources said. TIED TO TRADITION Oil volumes have taken time to pick up because many traders are reluctant to give up brokers and switch to the internet, afraid of making costly mistakes trading online. "There are brokers that have been around for a long time and have established personal and business relationships with traders," said Tom Knight, an independent online trading consultant. Oil's recent dizzying price volatility has also deterred traders from using online exchanges, fearing that a swift market move could turn a profitable Web trade into a ruinous one in a matter of minutes. "You can't take your trade off (the online exchange) fast enough," a trader who uses EnronOnline and Altra said. Old habits dying hard in the oil community means the younger markets of natural gas and power hold the key to the new platforms' liquidity growth. Leading the way is EnronOnline, which boasts an average daily volume of $10.5 billion and 35,000 transactions in more than 30 commodities, smashing initial targets of a $30-$40 billion yearly trading volume. Main competitor Dynegydirect has posted a total transaction volume of only $1.5 billion since it began trading Nov. 1. Traders and analysts said that EnronOnline is already becoming so big that it can set the tone for the natural gas cash market by itself. "On the ICE, players don't want to make a better offer than Enron," a trader said. "The only thing that's still not swayed by Enron numbers is NYMEX." THREE MODELS Among three competing business models, Dynegydirect and EnronOnline provide a market where players can only trade with the company that operates the site. Other platforms, like ICE, act like an intermediary, but provide only financial products such as swaps and options. A third group that includes RedMeteor.com, Altra and HoustonStreet focuses on physical markets and acts as a clearinghouse for oil, natural gas and electricity trading. Despite the slow start for some sites, analysts agree that more energy trading will migrate online as commission costs go down. Knight predicted that within five years more than 50 percent of crude and refined products trading will be done online, with gas and power shifting to the Web even faster. Yet only a few Web exchanges will enjoy the windfall. Analysts forecast that a wave of mergers and consolidations will leave only a small number of profitable online exchanges. NYMEX hopes its own online exchange, enymex, will be part of that group, but it will face stiff competition when it finally launches in the second quarter of 2001. "It will be difficult for enymex to compete six months for now with ICE and EnronOnline," Fusaro said. Copyright , 2000 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Dynegy's New E-Commerce Site Had $1.5 Bln in November Trading 12/11/0 17:37 (New York) Dynegy's New E-Commerce Site Had $1.5 Bln in November Trading Houston, Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Dynegy Inc., a U.S. electricity and natural-gas trader, said its Internet trading site, Dynegydirect, had more than $1.5 billion in transactions in in November, its first month of business. More than $1 billion of the business came from new customers, Dynegy spokesman Steve Stengel said. Dynegydirect's customers trade exclusively with Dynegy, not with each other. The Web site has more than 400 companies buying and selling North American power, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Dynegydirect plans to start trading coal, emission allowances and weather derivatives in the first quarter. International energy products and bandwidth are scheduled to be added in the second quarter. Shares of Houston-based Dynegy rose $4.19 to $53.75. EnronOnline, the 1-year-old on-line market owned by Enron Corp., the world's biggest energy trader, trades about $2.4 billion a day, or about $12 billion a week. IntercontinentalExchange, an Internet market for energy and precious metals backed by 85 energy and financial companies, traded about $6 billion in oil, natural-gas and electricity in its first week in mid October. ICE brings buyers and sellers together to negotiate trades. On EnronOnline, only Enron trades with other companies. Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, competes with ICE and others with its PowerMatch trading system. --Margot Habiby in Dallas, (214) 740-0873 or mhabiby@bloomberg

RE: CPLEX floating license Chonawee and I just had a phone conversation with Cplex. There are other alternatives (products) that may help in saving time and cost. Chonawee and I feel that one floating develoment license, and one or two OPL (a package on sale that provides modeling and optimization features) licenses will do. In addition, we need floating deployment licenses. For the development licenses, the charges should be split "equally" between the different groups that may ask for optimization help (although it is hard to predict who may ask for future help). We are suggesting equally since these licenses are used to develop the needed solution but are not (in general) used to run the software. The deployment licenses can be charged on per-use basis for different groups. Cplex is going to send us a new quote. We'll make the decision soon after that. -Samer

[cheatsheets] #147 Players in the News Quarterbacks in the News: QB Jake Plummer (Ari) should get the start although he is still hurting a tad with thumb and rib injuries. He is listed as probable on the injury report. His backup Dave Brown is questionable with a shoulder injury. QB Doug Johnson (Atl) has been named the starter for the rest of the season. QB Trent Dilfer (Bal) is on a bye this week. QB Rob Johnson (Buf) is expected to start with sore ribs. QB Cade McNown (Chi) is making excellent progress, but he will likely miss again this week. Shane Matthews is expected to get the start this week. Cade is listed as questionable with a sore shoulder. He would probably play if Matthews were to get hurt. QB Scott Mitchell (Cin) is expected to return as the starter despite a sore knee. He practiced on Wednesday. QB Doug Pederson (Cle) did not throw on Wednesday as he nurses his ribs. The team has not yet named a starter and if he can not go will look to Spergon Wynn to lead there team into the slaughter. Either way, look for Jacksonville's defense to look good in this contest. QB Clint Stoerner was signed by Dallas this week. QB Brian Griese (Den) is slated to return the last week of the NFL season at the earliest. Gus Frerotte will start in his absence. QB Charlie Batch (Det) was able to practice Tuesday and is expected to take the field with his sore ribs. QB Elvis Grbac (KC) practiced on Wednesday, but is still questionable whether he will start. The coaching staff has yet to name a starter. I rate his chances at 85% to start. QB Jay Fiedler (Mia) was able to practice Wednesday and now looks like he will start this Sunday. He is listed as questionable on the injury report with a sore shoulder and neck. QB Drew Bledsoe (NE) continues to take a pounding. He appears as questionable on the injury report again with a sore thumb and a bruised ego. He missed practice on Tuesday, but typically plays hurt. If he can not go, look for John Friesz (and his less than 100% knee) to take the field. QB Aaron Brooks (NO) is turning quite a few heads with his stellar play. He starts again this week. QB Kordell Stewart (Pit) is probable with a sore calf, but expects to start. QB Jerome Bettis (Pit) has a sore leg, but it will take a lot more than that to keep him off the field. QB Moses Moreno (SD) needs to trade away a commandment or two for a more durable body. He appears on the injured list again as questionable with a sore knee. Ryan Leaf, who has a sore groin, will start again in his place. QB Jon Kitna (Sea) gets the start this week for the injured Brock Huard. Brock is out indefinitely with a bruised kidney and was just released from the hospital earlier this week. QB Kurt Warner (StL) took snaps and has looked great throwing in practice. He will start this week. Trent Green will back him up. QB Shaun King (TB) practiced on Wednesday and looks to start against the Cowboys. Eric Zeier would play if Shaun king suffered a set-back. QB Steve McNair (Ten) practiced on Wednesday and looks to start this week. He is listed as questionable on the injury report with a hurt thumb. QB Brad Johnson (Was) is back behind center while Jeff George watches. I doubt we have seen the last of this controversy. //////////////////////////////// Running backs in the News: RB Obafemi Ayanbadejo (Bal) is gone for the season. RB Jamal Lewis (Bal) is on a bye this week. RB Sammy Morris (Buf) was able to practice briefly on Wednesday and is questionable for this week's game. He is having trouble making the hard cuts so will likely be ineffective even if he plays. RB William Floyd (Car) will miss this game. RB Tim Biakabutuka (Car) likely returns to the lineup this week. He is listed as probable with a sore toe. RB Jamel White (Cle) is banged up with a sore shoulder. Look for Travis Prentice to "shoulder" more of the load this week. RB Emmitt Smith (Dal) has shaken off the concussion and will start this week. RB Terrell Davis (Den) is out this week with calf problems. Mike Anderson gets the start again this week. RB Detron Smith (Den) can play if needed with his sore thumb. RB Dorsey Levens (GB) misses yet another game. Ahman Green will get the start. RB Lamar Smith (Mia) practiced on Wednesday and is expected to be the starter despite being listed as questionable on the injury report with a tender hamstring. RB Jimmy Kleinsasser (Min) is probable with a sore hamstring. RB JR Redmond (NE) appears as questionable on the injury report with bruised ribs, but he expects to play. RB Ricky Williams (NO) is healing way ahead of schedule. He may now be ready for the last game of the regular season. His cast is expected to come off later this week. RB Jerald Moore (NO) is listed as questionable on the injury report with a sore neck. He is still expected to start though, but Chad Morton may see a few more reps than usual. RB Curtis Martin (NYJ) plans on playing through the pain. He is listed as probable with a sore gluteous. I am guessing he is the butt of many New York jokes. RB Leon Johnson has been re-signed by the Jets and will return punts. RB Tyrone Wheatley (Oak) is banged up with a sore knee and finger, but his ankles are better. He will play this week. RB Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala (Pit) is out this week and he is using the time to look for personalized items with his last name. We will keep you posted. RB Kenny Bynum (SD) is listed as questionable with a sore hamstring. On a team that already has a crowded backfield with Jermaine Fazande and Terrell Fletcher, Kenny looks like he could be placed on the inactive list this week. RB Terrell Fletcher (SD) has a broken rib, but is expected to play with the pain. RB Garrison Hearst (SF) is listed as questionable on the injury report, but is doubtful he would have played anyway. The team remains cautious in his comeback. RB Mike Alstott (TB) will not play this week. Look for Warrick Dunn to get plenty of opportunities against a soft Dallas defense. RB Eddie George (Ten) skipped Wednesday's practice, but expects to practice today and play this weekend. RB Larry Centers (Was) is listed as questionable with a sore knee. RB Stephen Davis (Was) will play with his sore forearm. Look for the Giants to attempt to arm-tackle him all day. /////////////////////////////////// Wide Receivers in the News: WR Frank Sanders (Ari) is expected to play with a sore leg. WR Brian Finneran (Atl) practiced on Wednesday and is expected to play with a sore back. WR Qadry Ismail (Bal) is on a bye this week. WR Jermaine Lewis (Bal) will use this week to heal his shoulder he injured in last week's game. WR Peerless Price (Buf) is expected to play with a sore ankle. WR Donald Hayes (Car) is expected to start with a sore groin. WR Darrin Chiaverini (Cle) is listed as questionable with a sore knee. He did not practice on Wednesday. WR Germane Crowell (Det) is out again this week. Johnnie Morton and Herman Moore will start in his absence. WR Corey Bradford (GB) has spent more time on the injury report than Yancey Thigpen=01(=01(=01(well maybe not, but he can't stay healthy either. Corey misses another game this week as he is officially listed as out. WR EG Green (Ind) still has a sprained knee and is listed as questionable on the injury report. He says he will be ready to play though. WR OJ McDuffie (Mia) is questionable with a sore toe. With Tony Martin now healthy, the team will likely rest OJ so that he can heal for the playoffs. WR Troy Brown (NE) is listed as questionable on the injury report with a sore leg, but he expects to play. WR Jake Reed (NO) is out in likely more ways than his listing on the injury report. Joe Horn and Willie Jackson are playing good enough to hold onto the starting jobs even if Jake were to get healthy. WR Ike Hilliard (NYG) is out with a bruised sternum. Joe Jurevicius will start in his place. WR Dedric Ward (NYJ) gets the start over Laveranues Coles who is out with a twisted knee. WR Courtney Hawkins (Pit) is questionable this week with a sore knee, but even if he played he would likely be ineffective. Hines Ward has been the only Pittsburgh receiver to do anything consistently all year. WR Terrell Owens (SF) is not a lock to play, but he keeps talking like he will be on the field though. He was quoted in the Sacramento Bee as saying he is 85% right now. I am guessing he is closer to 70%, but he probably will play if he can handle the pain from his turf toe. WR Tony Horne (Stl) is out this week with a toe injury. WR Az-Zahir Hakim (Stl) is expected to play with his sore knee this week. WR Carl Pickens (Ten) continues to miss time with a sore hamstring. Even if he plays, he does not look like he will be a big factor. WR Albert Connell (Was) got a break when the doctors upgraded his condition. He remains sore though and may be a game-time decision to whether he plays. The team is starting James Thrash and Irving Fryar so he may have limited value even if he suits up this week. WR James Thrash (Was) has a bruised thigh, but is expected to play this week. /////////////////////////////// Tight Ends in the News: TE Reggie Kelly (Atl) practiced on Wednesday and is expected to play with a sore knee. TE Shannon Sharpe (Bal) is on a bye this week. TE OJ Santiago (Cle) is bothered by a sore knee. Fantasy players are bothered that he is still mentioned as a player in the NFL. TE Aaron Shea (Cle) is listed as questionable with sore quadriceps. He was limited in practice, but expects to play in the game. TE Jackie Harris (Dal) was quoted as saying he will play this weekend. He is expected to practice on Thursday and is listed as questionable on the injury report with a sore knee. TE Tony Gonzalez (KC) is perfectly fine and just did not catch a pass last week from 6 attempts from Warren Moon. If Grbac plays, expect him to get the ball to Tony again. TE Hunter Goodwin (Mia) has a tight hamstring, but is expected to play. TE Johnny McWilliams (Min) is now the starter. John Davis still gets a lot of looks though. TE Chad Lewis (Phi) is expected to play with a sore elbow. /////////////////////////////// Kickers in the News: PK David Akers (Phi) is expected to play with a pulled quad. PK Jeff Wilkins (Stl) looks like he will kick this week. But he has looked like he was ready before and then gave way to Jeff Hall minutes before game-time. Now that the Rams are tied for first though, expect the players to start working through the pain. I rate Wilkins chance to start at close to 90% this week.

Peggy >>> Horton, Stanley 04/11/01 07:13AM >>> I checked with Rick Buy's group on where they were on The RAROC analysis of your proposed broadband project. They aren't doing anything according to Rod who checked for me. It seems to me that we need to do several things to either kick this into gear or to put it on hold pending completion of a sale. 1. We need to find out from Mark Metts if this deal adds any value to the transactions being proposed. I will talk with Mitch and Mark about this issue. 2. We need to determine EBS interest in this business..ie are they a buyer or seller of Portland metro dark fiber. If they want to be in this business wouldn't it make to develop this project as EBS and not to include it in a sale? 3. A project of this size will take Jeff's approval. The projected Phase I capital is above my threshold. I will talk with Kevin Hannon and Mitch and then get back with you. Sound like a plan?

NYTimes.com Article: Foundation Gives Way on Chief's Big Dream This article from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by [email protected]. FYI [email protected] /-------------------- advertisement -----------------------\ Special Offer to NY Times customers: Spend $100 & ship free at Starbucks.com http://www.nytimes.com/ads/starbucks/email.html \----------------------------------------------------------/ Foundation Gives Way on Chief's Big Dream November 29, 2001 By JOHN SCHWARTZ and RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr. Well before anyone could imagine that Enron might collapse, Kenneth L. Lay was stumped. In an interview in August, he dismissed questions about a vague clause in the energy company's annual report that hinted at bigger problems if its stock price or credit rating fell below certain levels. "I just can't help you on that," he said. Pressed further on questions about a bewildering constellation of business partnerships that involved Enron's former chief financial officer, he said, "You're getting way over my head." At the least, Mr. Lay - a man of big ideas, a crusader for free markets, a risk taker in the Texas wildcatter tradition - had taken his eye off the ball. While he was busy befriending the nation's most powerful politicians, erecting one of the tallest buildings in Houston and pasting Enron's logo on the city's new ballpark, the little things were turning out to be Mr. Lay's big problems. One after another, disclosures spilled out of his company over the last month: the partnerships had hidden billions in debt; years of Enron's reported profits had been exaggerated; the government was investigating. Rivals were shunning Enron's energy trading desks, which Mr. Lay had built into the world's leaders. And sure enough, the stock price tumbled day after day, and credit agencies lowered Enron's ratings once and then yesterday again, turning the company's debt to junk and its shares into a penny stock. Three weeks ago, Mr. Lay tried to salvage his creation by selling it to Dynegy, his Houston rival. Yesterday, Dynegy pulled out of the deal. Deprived of enough information, and then repelled by what they learned, the free markets in which Mr. Lay had put so much faith all but destroyed, in a matter of weeks, everything he had built. "If they had been going a slower speed, the results would not have been disastrous," said Bob McNair, a Houston energy entrepreneur who sold the bulk of his own company to Enron three years ago. But Enron, he said in an interview this month, was like a race car, and the markets like an unforgiving track. "It's a lot harder to keep it on the track at 200 miles per hour," he said. "You hit a bump and you're off the track." From his youth, Mr. Lay, 59, had nurtured an abiding faith in the markets' wisdom. He studied economics at the University of Missouri, living at home to save on room and board, and eventually earned a Ph.D. in the subject. As a naval officer serving in the Pentagon, he worked to develop more efficient accounting systems. Later, he served as an aide to a federal government regulator for the natural gas industry - a market that Enron would come to dominate. Moving into the private sector, he worked his way up the ranks of the natural gas industry, becoming chief executive in 1984 of the Houston Natural Gas Corporation, a big regional pipeline operator. He engineered its merger with Internorth, an Omaha pipeline company, and then became chief executive of the combined company and changed its name to Enron. Mr. Lay saw Enron's mission as far more than being a conduit for fuel. At the time, gas prices were regulated and pipelines played a relatively passive role; buyers and sellers could not cut deals on the fly. But as oil prices plunged in the mid-80's and gas users began switching to cheaper fuel oil, Mr. Lay returned to Washington to argue, successfully, for rules changes that he said would save the pipeline business by allowing operators to shop for the best deals from both gas producers and utilities. The new flexibility brought the threat of chaos, however, as natural gas prices began fluctuating wildly. That is when the new Enron was truly born. To help customers shield themselves from risk, Mr. Lay's Enron developed hedging contracts for gas like those traded in the markets for corn and copper and winter wheat. Its innovative "gas bank" let utilities lock up the long-term prices that they craved; Enron lined up the gas supplies from producers, arranged for delivery - and took a cut of every deal. That business became the forerunner of Enron's entry into hundreds of other markets, helping customers obtain supplies and manage risks in products ranging from electric power to pulp and paper and, most recently, fast broadband access to the Internet. Trading soon provided more of the company's profits than the traditional natural gas business. While other companies, including Dynegy, focused on accumulating hard assets like pipelines, turbines and gas fields, Enron increasingly saw itself as a pure trading company with an almost limitless future. "There is a very reasonable chance that we will become the biggest corporation in the world," Mr. Lay's handpicked successor as Enron's chief executive, Jeffrey K. Skilling, told the authors of a book, just published, about business on the Internet. Even the book's title, "Radical E: From GE to Enron - Lessons on How to Rule the Web" (PricewaterhouseCoopers), showed the cachet the company had attained. Enron, the authors wrote, was "creating a culture in which radical and creative thinking is encouraged and rewarded." Mr. Skilling abruptly resigned in August, after just six months on the job, propelling Mr. Lay back into the gritty details of Enron's businesses that he had sought to leave to others. As the company grew, he had become increasingly involved in public affairs, serving as host when a global economic conference was held in Houston in 1990 and when the Republican National Convention came to the city in 1992. Like the leaders of many big Texas businesses - the construction colossus Brown & Root after World War II or Ross Perot's Electronic Data Systems in the 1960's - Mr. Lay knew the value of courting politicians and policy makers. He played golf with President Bill Clinton; became good friends with the Texas governor, Ann Richards; and supported Senator Phil Gramm of Texas, whose wife, Wendy, a former chairwoman of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, joined Enron's board. "He's a stand-up guy," said Ms. Richards, now a business consultant in New York. Asked to be more specific, she said, "He's at the meeting" - meaning she could count on Mr. Lay to become directly involved with whatever she asked him to do, and not just sign onto a project for show. Mr. Lay's deepest political ties were with the Bush family. In the 1980's, he became a major fund-raiser for George H. W. Bush. When Mr. Bush lost his 1992 campaign for re- election as president, Mr. Lay brought a number of senior Bush aides to Enron as directors or consultants, including James A. Baker III, the former secretary of state, and Robert A. Mosbacher, the former secretary of commerce. Mr. Lay also cultivated Mr. Bush's son George W. long before he was considered a serious national candidate. After the younger Mr. Bush's election as Texas governor in 1994, Mr. Lay became head of the Governor's Business Council, an important advisory post. The bond with President Bush is personal. As governor, Mr. Bush sent Mr. Lay a kidding note in 1997. "One of the sad things about old friends is that they seem to be getting older - just like you!" he wrote. "55 years old. Wow! That is really old. Thank goodness you have such a young, beautiful wife," he added, a reference to Mr. Lay's wife, Linda. In 1999, Mr. Lay sent a handwritten Christmas note to Mr. Bush and his wife, Laura. "Linda and I are so proud of both of you and look forward to seeing both of you in the White House," he wrote. Yesterday, the White House press secretary, Ari Fleischer, said the Treasury Department was monitoring Enron's downfall for its effect on the market. Asked if the president himself had any reaction, Mr. Fleisher said, "The president's reaction is that it should be monitored." In some ways, Enron's collapse was one more example of the bursting of the Internet bubble. But Mr. Lay was not some stylish dot-com brat; by all accounts, he is an immensely likable product of Middle America. Growing up in tiny Rush Hill, Mo., he was driving a tractor by age 12 and salting away savings. By 16, his sister Sharon recalled this week, "he was bucking bales" - that is, loading hay - "and had two jobs in the summer, painting houses." "I don't think you could ever say that he did something the easy way," she said. That work ethic ran in the family. Mr. Lay's father was a minister who also sold farm equipment. The family's finances were spotty, "at times no money, at times some money," Ms. Lay recalled. Still, the Lays took in people from their church who were in need. Over the last decade or so, Mr. Lay earned some $300 million from Enron, mostly by exercising stock options. Earlier this month, when employees grew incensed at the prospect of his collecting a big severance package with the company's sale to Dynegy, he volunteered to walk away from $60 million in payments. Mr. McNair, the Houston entrepreneur, who has known Mr. Lay for years, suggested that perhaps everything had not been disclosed to him. "Maybe the people who reported to him told him what they wanted him to hear, but they weren't telling him everything," he said. Mr. McNair said he spoke to Mr. Lay recently and found him "somewhat in a state of shock." Mr. McNair added, "He's devastated." In the end, it seems, the man whose company did so much to help others manage their risk could not manage his own. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/29/business/29LAY.html?ex=1008076920&ei=1&en=edb180383864356b HOW TO ADVERTISE --------------------------------- For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact Alyson Racer at [email protected] or visit our online media kit at http://www.nytimes.com/adinfo For general information about NYTimes.com, write to [email protected].

Demo w/ Louise Hey Tom and Sally, I just wanted to give a status report of my meeting with Louise Kitchen yesterday. Four main issues were of Confirm Central were discussed: legal loose ends and ramifications, user interface, functionality, and future enhancements. Starting with the legal aspect Louise wanted Mark Taylor brought into the process. She felt his experience from EOL would be useful, and would help make any seams between EOL and CL disappear. I am setting up ameeting for early next week between Mark T., Mark G., and Alan to get this process rolling. The user interface Louise thought needed some work she definitely did not like the colors of the website. She had good comments on how to improve the look and feel. We will try to incorporate Louise's suggestions as quickly as possible. I am not to concerned about these comments since we have spent the last 4 weeks developing functionality and have not yet focused on this issue. Louise was happy with the actual functionality of the site. She actually said we did an excellent job. Finally, on future relases she wanted us to focus on Financial & Physical Power, Financial & Physiacl Gas in the U.S. She felt that this is a market where we could make money, where Enron has enough volume that we could really relieve some pain on our counterparties. Other commodities such as Liquids, Global Products, Metals, she felt either did not have enough voume to justify the business model or would take to long to integrate into CL. As far as additional features to the site incorpoating an importing function for CP data was high on the list, next was reporting confirmation statistics, exporting data, and finally automatching. Take away message from the meeting was that Louise was extremely happy with the site and our progress to date. Brad

Follow-up on Larcamp Visit: Comparing Gas /Electric Positions FYI. I'll keep all of you posted as we complete our analysis and respond to Larcamp's thoughts. Jim ---------------------- Forwarded by James D Steffes/HOU/EES on 07/30/2000 12:02 AM --------------------------- Shelley Corman@ENRON 07/27/2000 03:01 PM To: Stanley Horton/Corp/Enron@Enron, Bill Cordes/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Rockford Meyer/FGT/Enron@ENRON, Mary Kay Miller/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, [email protected], Ray Neppl/NPNG/Enron@ENRON, Drew Fossum/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Teb Lokey/FGT/Enron@ENRON, Julia White/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Steven Harris/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Susan Scott/ET&S/Enron@ENRON cc: James D Steffes/HOU/EES@EES, Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Follow-up on Larcamp Visit: Comparing Gas /Electric Positions When Dan Larcamp recently visited he commented that pipelines need to take a look at differences between gas and electric positions and practices. In fact, his main concern about pipeline marketing affiliate practices relate to the fact that they differ from practices on the electric side. I am working with Jim Steffes and Christi Nicolay on a comparison of gas and electric practices in the following areas mentioned by Dan Larcamp. Here is a quick look at the areas that we are comparing: Contracting for transportation/transmission capacity. Pipelines currently have a form of service agreement in their tariffs, but they also enter into non-conforming agreements and discount agreements with shippers. In contrast, transmission customers enter a two-page standardized blanket transmission agreement. Then they reserve specific quantities and points on-line via OASIS. This is probably the area that we'll have the most difficult time arguing why we are different than the electric side. Negotiating discounts. Customers may call or fax pipeline staff to negotiate discounts, although sometimes a pipeline may post a generally available discount on the website. On the electric side, discounts are rarely granted, but if discounts are granted it is handled through OASIS. Functionality of OASIS vs. pipeline websites. Its true that the OASIS system facilitates the reservation of transmission space (i.e. contracting) and discounts, but it doesn't accommodate nominations, invoices, and index of customers or many of the other features available on pipeline web sites. Marketing affiliate rules. I plan to lay out a side by side comparison of Sec. 37 (electric rules) and 161 (gas marketing affiliate rules). One difference, the posting of organization charts, will be gone after September, as pipelines will add this information to the web site. Content of Form 1 vs. Form 2. Dan Larcamp mentioned that he feels like electric form 1s have more useful market data. I'm not sure we're comparing apples and apples, as the electrics are still integrated utilities and thus the form 1 includes sales data. But, we'll put together a comparison nonetheless. Hopefully, the detailed comparison can be completed in the next month. Also, FYI Enron Government Affairs is currently working on their comments to the latest OASIS rulemaking and plan to use the comparison work to suggest best pipeline website practices that could be a model for OASIS. I'll keep you posted.

Natural Gas Origination Our natural gas business continues to benefit from effective account management and resource allocation focused on identifying and responding to the needs of our varied customers. In order to keep our organization optimally structured and to facilitate additional growth, we are making the following changes: Producer/Wellhead Group The current mid-market, origination and wellhead pricing activity currently within the Central and Eastern Gas Regions will be consolidated with the Derivatives group under Fred Lagrasta. This will create a single business unit focused upon the needs of the producing industry within the Eastern U.S. The producer focus in the Western U.S. and Texas will remain unchanged reporting to Mark Whitt and Brian Redmond respectively. Strategic Asset Development Laura Luce will move from her role in the Central Region to lead an effort focused strictly on identifying and entering into long-term strategic arrangements within the Central and Eastern Regions. This initiative will focus on a limited number of selected markets that provide strategic opportunities for partnering in asset development, asset management and optimization. This effort will continue to work very closely with the regional leads. Central Origination and Mid-Market Frank Vickers will continue his current role in the Eastern Region and will assume the leadership role for Mid-Market and Origination activity in the Central Region. There will be no changes to the West and Texas Origination groups headed respectively by Barry Tycholiz and Brian Redmond. Please join us in congratulating Fred, Laura and Frank in their new roles. Louise & John

Conference Call/PX Response Attached you will find the draft of the Response of the Group to the Motion for Relief from Stay filed by the Debtor. As an initial caveat, we have prepared this as the scrivener for the Group. Like the rest of the Group, we have not specifically reviewed the substance of this with our client and we reserve the right to suggest changes based on our client's comments, as we expect the rest of the Group will. In addition, we have the following comments: 1. In carefully analyzing the Motion for Relief from Stay as part of preparing this Response, we became convinced that the Debtor meant that the preliminary injunction was to remain effective and does not intend to grant general relief from stay as to the Federal District Court action. It seems to us that the Debtor is basically saying by this motion that we should proceed in front of FERC, but nobody has the prerogative, without seeking further relief of stay from the court, to proceed outside of FERC to resolve the charge-back issues. Accordingly, we did not feel it was appropriate to address this issue in the response. The Group may want to consider approaching Debtor's counsel on this issue. 2. Technically, by asking the Court to include the Amendment 22 proceeding as part of the Relief from Stay, we are expanding the relief. We have tried to soft sell this issue as was suggested by the Group to suggest that this is simply a related proceeding that is required to go forward to grant complete relief as part of the Debtor's motion. If the Debtor objects to the expanded relief, the court will likely not grant it because it was not specifically the subject of the motion. We probably need to lobby Debtor's counsel to help get this accomplished without the requirement of filing an additional motion for relief. 3. Check Exhibit A to make sure that all parties are listed and the appropriate counsel is listed. I am trying to simply list the "bankruptcy" counsel so that Debtor's counsel knows initially who to contact if there is any question relative to a party. We have not intentionally left anybody off. If someone is missing, it is inadvertent and we will certainly add them to the list. If there are others of your Group who should receive this, please forward it to the other members of group. We have set up a conference call at 12:15 E.T. to discuss this matter. The dial-in number is 1-800-569-0883. The confirmation number is 5096040. If you have any questions prior to that time you may contact Carl Eklund in New York at 212/424-8482 or Jim Huemoeller at 303/291-2632.

Update Hello all, The program for the 2000 Texas Finance Festival has been formalized and can be found on our web site at http://hsb.baylor.edu/html/martinj/festival2.html I do need to remind you of a few things before we converge on San Antonio. First, be sure to contact the convention hotel and make your reservations. At last count there were only 6 rooms left. Second, I need a completed application form from everyone so that we can get an accurate meal count. I am attaching the program announcement so you can fill out the appropriate boxes for meals and numbers of guests in the event you have not sent in a form. Remember that we are starting the conference off with a luncheon on Friday so plan on arriving early Friday or coming in on Thursday evening if you can. Our hotel is right on the river and there are lots of restaurants and interesting things to visit in the immediate area (the Alamo is across the plaza from the hotel). We are making plans for spouses and children to attend both the dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings. The Friday evening dinner begins at 6 p.m. so that we can be done in plenty of time for our private guided tour of the Alamo at 8:00 p.m. For Saturday we are still working out plans for the evening so stay tuned. There will be more information later as the conference nears. Looking forward to seeing you all and in beautiful, sunny San Antonio. John - announcerev.doc John D. Martin Carr P.

FW: SEC 13F Reporting for ENA Sara and Donna, Gary has agreed that the Convertible Arbitrage Book should be transferred back to ECT Investments Inc. The Convertible Arbitrage Book was moved from ECT Investments, Inc. to Enron North America Corp., effective 1QTR2001. We will need to get this done before year-end. The Convertible Book will need to be reported at year-end for SEC 13F reporting. We want it included in ECT Investments' 13f rather than do a ENA filing. Theresa is calling GS and MSDW to see what they will require. Sheila -----Original Message----- From: Glover, Sheila Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2001 9:12 AM To: Hickerson, Gary Subject: FW: SEC 13F Reporting for ENA Gary, Have you had a chance to think about this? Farzad says it does not matter to him whether he trades as ENA, ECT Investments or XXX. One important thing I just thought about is that I do not think we would want the Convertible Arbitrage Book Trading in London as Enron North America Corp. Whether we are trading from London or Houston, our counterparties will be the same on Convertible Arbitrage Trading though the %s may change. We use the Agent, Enron Investment Services Limited in London, to trade on behalf of ECT Investments, Inc. Thanks, Sheila -----Original Message----- From: Glover, Sheila Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 3:00 PM To: Hickerson, Gary Subject: SEC 13F Reporting for ENA Gary, How strongly do you feel about not having the Convertible Arbitrage Book in ECT Investments? We could move the Convertible Arbitrage Book back into ECT Investments before year-end. Otherwise, we will need to do SEC 13f reporting for ENA. My concern would be: Enron may not want to disclose certain positions in the Merchant Portfolio which are in the name of ENA. We would need to include in the reporting all ENA Longs, long puts and long calls >$200,000. I am not sure how much we actually have in the name of Enron North America. Does Enron want to do a SEC 13F with the Enron North America name and address? If we move to a totally separate entity, we will need to set up new Prime Broker (2) and Executing Broker Agreements (27) for the new entity. The return on capital can continue to be calculated based upon selected books. Thanks. Sheila

Subject: Transportation notes for Feb I have released the Boston Gas capacity on Tennessee, contract 29667, and Iroquois, contract 1250-08, to Boston Gas, non-recallable, subject to bid (per Boston Gas's request), for Feb 1st for one month only. Other transport notes; To serve the Lilco deal, we need supply on Texas Eastern, Tennessee, and Transco. Texas Eastern is trying to decide how to handle the cash out exposure. There is no commodity expense on the type of agreement I am requesting but there is the possibility of cash out. I think the exposure to Texas Eastern is minimal and it could be that Texas Eastern just wants to be difficult to work with. We can still flow gas on our Tennessee pooling contract. We need an IT contract on Transco. Transco requires a prepayment or a letter of credit using the following formula, MDQ x 90 days x max it rate from Zone 1 to Zone 6 ($.5169). I believe the Lilco volume on Transco is about 21,000 dth/day. Therefore, we would need to give Transco a letter of credit for about $977,000.00. I also believe that we could do a buy/sale on Transco and Texas Eastern and bypass the pooling process. Donna, Victor, I like to keep scheduling informed of all activity on my pipes. I plan on copying Ruth, Kathy, Maria, and Kim on my emails. Who should I include from scheduling? Thanks

Memo from Shelley Corman: FERC Staff Conference Today I thought you all may be interested in a summary of the FERC Conference I attended on Tuesday. The comments below are from Becky Cantrell and Shelley Corman. I will also forward the comments from our Washington attorney, who also attended the conference. We have 30 days to file comments on the meeting. There are a couple of issues I want to discuss with you that will help us decide whether we should file certain comments. I will arrange a meeting soon. ---------------------- Forwarded by Colleen Sullivan/HOU/ECT on 09/21/2000 09:29 AM --------------------------- Enron North America Corp. From: Rebecca W Cantrell 09/20/2000 03:21 PM To: Stephanie Miller/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Colleen Sullivan/HOU/ECT@ECT, Julie A Gomez/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Gary L Payne/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Memo from Shelley Corman: FERC Staff Conference Today I generally concur with Shelley's summary. On the fourth bullet in the first section (tighter tolerances), a lot of parties (more than I expected) kvetched about the fact that pipelines seemed to be using the Order 637 filings to make their penalty provisions even worse -- higher fees, tighter tolerances -- and then proposing new default or mandatory services that looked a lot like penalties. There was the usual affiliate bashing, particularly on the shipper-must-have-title rule discussions. Southern Company also brought it up in connection with LNG import facilities, e.g., Cove Point and Elba Island. It seems pretty clear that the January conference, which is to address marketing affiliates, will be pretty heated. Based on their comments in this conference, I expect BP/Amoco is going to be particularly aggressive (rabid, even), and Dynegy will almost certainly be chiming in. We need to start developing a strategy to counter some of their most virulent arguments. ---------------------- Forwarded by Rebecca W Cantrell/HOU/ECT on 09/20/2000 02:30 PM --------------------------- Michael Van Norden@ENRON 09/19/2000 06:12 PM To: Stan Horton/Houston/Eott@Eott, Bill Cordes/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Mary Kay Miller/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Robert Kilmer@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Ray Neppl@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Dorothy McCoppin@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Drew Fossum@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Julia White/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Steve Hotte/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Danny McCarty/ET&S/Enron@Enron, Janet Place@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Maria Pavlou/ET&S/Enron@Enron, Teb Lokey/FGT/Enron@Enron, Glen Hass@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, Steven Harris/ET&S/Enron@ENRON, Nancy Bagot/OTS/Enron@ENRON, Janet Butler/ET&S/Enron@Enron cc: Steven J Kean/NA/Enron@Enron, Richard Shapiro/HOU/EES@EES, Rebecca W Cantrell@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT, James D Steffes/HOU/EES@EES, Joe Hartsoe/Corp/Enron@Enron Subject: Memo from Shelley Corman: FERC Staff Conference Today Today, FERC Staff held its conference to discuss what regulatory changes are necessary to promote further market liquidity. The conference was fairly well attended by FERC staff, including Dan Larcamp and Shelton Cannon. Some common themes: Gas markets are generally well functioning and major changes are not necessary. Commodity markets are very liquid. FERC policies, GISB and Order 637 have helped to make capacity markets more liquid. Shippers are unhappy with tighter tolerances and new balancing services in Order No. 637 compliance filings. Standardization is necessary to promote liquidity (with pipelines making the distinction that standardization of transactional protocols is a good idea, standardization of product offerings is not). There is very little consensus on further areas for change. In nearly every case, a change advocated by one shipper group is opposed by another. In any event, most said that now is not the time for sweeping changes. Areas without consensus: Shipper-must-have-title rule. LDCs argue it should be removed; while Process Gas and producers think that removal will undermine the capacity release market. Production area rate design. LDCs argued that they need the ability to buy service downstrream of a market pool. Reliant and Koch also argued that pipelines should have to have separately stated production and market rates. The producers opposed any attempt to shift costs to the production area. SFV. East Coast LDCs, Michcon, and APGA argued for moving off of SFV. The producers and industrials oppose. Illinois Power/Dynegy also argued for moving off SFV. LDC Positions The LDCs main themes were removing the shipper-must-have-title and enabling LDCs to hold space downstream of market centers. However, they also argued that pipelines should not be permitted to offer new services to the electric generation market that reduce the flexibilities LDCs have historically enjoyed since the system was built for LDCs . This is the point that AGA raised in the blanket intervention to all Order 637 compliance filings. Carl Levander of Columbia did a nice job of refuting the notion that LDCs are entitled to unwritten flexibility that they have enjoyed in the past on a best efforts basis, perhaps in part due to the fact that the pipeline may not have been fully subscribed. LDCs, generally stating that 637 compliance filings did a poor job of allowing capacity segmentation, continued to stress the need for segmentation, including "geographical segmentation of ROFR capacity." Some Specific Proposals NGSA called for more targeted information to be included in Form 2 filings. A number of customer groups noted the need for more and better information, though specific needs were not well defined. Several parties ask FERC to reconsider national standardized penalties (especially given expected high prices this winter and the possibility for arbitrage). Alliance of Energy Suppliers (marketing arm of EEI) called for a dialogue between power generators and INGAA to develop a new firm tariff with hourly variability. They also called for a change in GISB nomination deadlines to match the power grid (Dan Larcamp asked whether EEI is open to efforts to standardize scheduling times across the power grid as well). The GISB End-User group (represented by Salt River Project) complained about the need to standardize the confirmation process and called for gas transactions to be "tagged" like electric transactions. E-Commerce and Capacity Trading Dave Neubaurer did a great job of driving home the themes that capacity trading can occur if FERC and industry are willing to allow more speedy transactions, remove posting periods and long contract execution periods. He made an effective case that no major regulatory changes are necessary. Robert Levin of the NY Mercantile Exchange echoed this theme, admonishing the FERC not to micro-manage the types of trading platforms or to try to insist on a single platform. He said that liquidity cannot be legislated. From his perspective, natural gas markets are the best functioning commodity markets in the world. FERC should worry about transferring the "good stuff" from natural gas to electric markets, not the reverse.

Commercial Services Presentation - Analyst Orientation Last Friday (1/19/01), I had the privilege to present the Commercial Services presentation at the Analyst Orientation. I thought I would share some observations that might be helpful for the next Orientation session. Andy Fastow preceeded me and Beth Perlman succeeded me. Although Andy had a slide presentation, he chose not to use it. Rather he directed his comments to Enron's pending earnings release, the growth and his perspective of the opportunities for Analysts within Enron. It was very casual, and very informative and effective. Beth Perlman noted that her presentation was much more casual and that the Commercial Services presentation really upstaged her. She spoke from notes. My original presentation plan was to cover each area with 2 or 3 speaking points, relying on the fact that hand-outs were provided to the Analysts. However, the Orientation Program decided not to provide copies of the presentation, unless requested. Consequently, pieces of the presentation was really not covered as I didn't want to just read to them! I recommend a review of the presentation to reduce the number of slides. Since animation is used, there are can be several key strokes to display the complete slide. This seemed to break up the presentation also. Bottom-line: The presentation fills the 15 minute allotment of time, and if presented in full, limits talking points that help keep the audience interest. I hope this is helpful for the next presentation. If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to ask. I always enjoy my involvement with the Analyst program. Have a nice week-end. Brenda x35778

UK Submission of Positions Just to follow up on James's note of yesterday - my apologies for being out The elimination of the requirement to 'grab' the FX and IR market environment from Houston ( and consequently use European data ) can improve our ability to kick the overnight batch processing off earlier in the evening. James and I will be working with Brian Hudson to determine the timetable for effecting this change The revised batch start time would improve the opportunity to detect any system failure and complete a rerun of the valuation process so as to deliver completed results by the time the Risk Management team arrive at their desks in the morning. System failures are the most significant problem we face in delivering timely information to Houston. Consequently the probability of meeting current reporting deadlines would be greatly improved given that we will have full IT overnight support covering for any IT failure and curve input validation processes on trade date. Indeed given the successful completion of all overnight runs we are able to deliver Officialisation of all valuation systems and most spreadsheets ( David Hardy is in final testing of the Eastern spreadsheet feed ) by the 10 AM deadline ( Houston 4 AM ) Flash p&l by the 1PM deadline ( Houston 7AM ) Completion of the final DPR to be submitted to Houston by the 5 PM deadline ( Houston 11AM ) James and I are currently finalising a document reviewing all possible changes to business processes that could improve these times. This is in addition to working with Commercial and IT to assess the possibility of delivering significantly faster revaluation systems that could assist in delivering a trade date control process. I can confirm that there is significant work to do in this area, however, we are dedicated to meeting the objectives of improved/more real time control. Please feel free to call if the above requires any additional commentary. Regards Mike ---------------------- Forwarded by Mike Jordan/LON/ECT on 19/12/2000 15:06 --------------------------- James New 18/12/2000 09:10 To: Rick Buy/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: John Sherriff/LON/ECT@ECT, Michael R Brown/LON/ECT@ECT, Fernley Dyson/LON/ECT@ECT, Mike Jordan/LON/ECT@ECT, Ted Murphy/HOU/ECT@ECT, Gary Hickerson/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: UK Submission of Positions Rick, Thanks you for your note below. We are today implementing a flash P&L process. We aim to report daily numbers at 7am Houston time and will start today with the P&L. We will build on this and hope to have draft positions and VAR for most books within a week or so. There will be a reconciliation of flash to final numbers which will be included in our return to Houston. I will put together a note on the London DPR production process which goes into the process we currently have, the process we actually need to have, and the obstacles that are in the way. I would expect this to be finalised tomorrow. Obtaining the USD interest rate curve on a more timely basis is just one of our problems but it is unfortunately by no means our only or most serious problem. James From: Rick Buy 15/12/2000 21:59 To: John Sherriff/LON/ECT@ECT, Michael R Brown/LON/ECT@ECT, Mike Jordan/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Gary Hickerson/HOU/ECT@ECT, Ted Murphy/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: UK Submission of Positions Need your help on the following: Each day we are delayed in finalising var, p&L and positions because the UK must wait for a USD interest rate curves before submitting their data to Houston. I am also told that it is really not necessary to wait for this curve and the data could be submitted close of business London. Even if there was some minor inaccuracy from this method it would be better than what we have now. This would greatly improve the efficiency (by 4 to 6 hours) in reporting to senior management. Can you guys initiate this change or get me to the right person there. Thanks, Rick

Update on CEA Modernization Steve - here is a brief update. The answer to the question on why exchanges should remain regulated, while we stay unregulated. The answer is: "Enron provides a variety of risk manangement services to our customers, but these are not futures contracts which the CFTC has primary jurisdiction to regulate. We offer swaps, hubrids, etc., but no futures". The CFTC does maintain anitfraud and manipulation authority if market abuses are discovered. Let me know when you have time to make the call to Chairman Combest sometime on Monday AM.

We met with House Agriculture Committee Minority and Majority Staff, Senate Banking Committee Staff and Senate Agriculture Committee Staff. The bill clearly is moving and there is a good chance it will go to the Floor of the House next week. The bilateral exemption for physical commodities (non-agricultural commodities) is accepted and should be secure. We have problems with the electronic trading facility exemption for physical commodities. House The House Agriculture Committee remains inclined to exclude metals from the exemption. We are working with the Commerce Committee (which has not excluded metals) to change that result. Senate We have a much more severe problem in the Senate. Senate democrats led by Senator Harkin are very concerned to go against the CFTC in favor of big energy companies. They want the CFTC to endorse the exemption. Unfortunately, as you are aware, the CFTC (recently the Chairman himself) have been heavily lobbying against the exemption. We are working with staff and will keep you posted. We have prepared talking points and bullets which are still in draft to distribute to the Hill. I would appreciate your comments on them and your thoughts. ---------------------------------- This e-mail is sent by a law firm and contains information that may be privileged and confidential.
