Are these positions already budgeted? No, they will have to come from out of
budget

Relocations costs to be provided? Relocation costs will be provided for

Darrell:

Per your request, for further requirements of ENA, attached is the most
recent off balance sheet (West LB) turbine purchase contract executed between
EECC and GE.  Although it includes guarantees for a steam turbine also, this
language can be easily removed.  There are currently a handfull of provisions
that both EECC and ENA legal, commercial and technical representatives are
negotiating achieve broad based acceptability under the guidance of Sheila
Tweed, that GE and Enron both will insist be incorporated into the future
agreements.  The majority of the provisions in this contract will require
little or no modification for use in the purchase of a gas turbine for a U.S.
based project.  The portion of the executed contract that is not attached,
and is arguably the most important, is the equipment specification.  Although
a fairly standardized, abridged specification, the detailed project specific
requirements are provide the level of clarity that is essential to
understanding the scope to be supplied and integral to the guaranteed
performance required in the Contract.  This docuement is currently drafted in
WordPerfect, but is to be issued in Word going forward.   If you have
questions or require assistance, please let me know.


I read your note back to Shona, and I understand John's desire to put a
reminder in front of people, including commerical staff members, about the
need for operating standards.  If this is the best time to put that in
writing for Europe, then by all means go forward with that.  If there is an
efficient way to reference this effort as an Enron-wide initiative to define
and monitor these standards across all locations and all commodities traded,
then that would be great.  It simply helps put the London initiative in the
context of an Enron-wide effort that we all feel is important.  --Sally

Subject: Re: a note being sent out under John Sherriff's name - your thoughts
on the cover note ?

I think that it is a great idea to get some press regarding our fundamental
operating standards, but I wonder about the most appropriate timing, enough
of a global message ( it is a European note )and the means of delivery.  On
the means of delivery, I am not sure from your note whether or not I fully
understand the intent.  Is there an article to be included in an Enron
publication ( yes )and in addition a letter to be sent under John's name (if
so, to whom will the letter be sent)?  Or is the letter from John an
introduction to be included as a lead in to the article?  ( Yes - apologies
if there is confusion )

With regard to a global message , I think that one of the key points around
fundamental operating standards are that they are intended to be global in
nature, applied to every commodity and every location where we engage in
trading activities.  With these operating standards implemented worldwide, we
will know as operations professionals that risk is being mitigated and we
will be able to ensure Enron top management that there is consistency in
operating standards worldwide.  These global standards also should enable
Enron to expand its business reach more quickly, with well defined
requirements with regard to trading operations.  I am not sure from the
article as written that the global nature of this effort comes across.
Agreed - but the note was targeted at Europe - would welcome the opportunity
to work on this with you and Shona )

Finally, a question regarding timing.  The last I knew after you and Brent
drafted this starting point for fundamental operating standards was that this
was being circulated (Shona took this to do after Brent's return to Houston)
for comments to all business controllers.  I don't believe that we are quite
at the point that we can say that all business controllers worldwide have
reviewed, understand and have implemented these standards.  And not to
belittle the process of creating the standards, the tough part (and the real
meat behind this) will be an effective exception report on a global basis
against these standards.  My commitment to Rick Causey is that I will have
that global report in production by the end of the year.  There is much work
to do in defining the content and regularity of the report and even more work
to do to identify reliable sources of data for compiling the report.  Shona
has commissioned Mike Moscoso to work on this, and I believe that Mike has
already been working with James New.  So I question whether or not you want
to publish info about fundamental standards that we can not yet report
against.  Would a more appropriate time be after the Global Operations
Controller meeting in October when we should have worldwide buy-in and
commitment to these standards and (hopefully) our first draft of a meaningful
exception report?  Can we discuss this - please see separate note from me to
Shona

Sorry that this response looks so long.  I have been interrupted 20 times
while responding, so I hope that it makes sense.  Thanks for sharing this
with me.  Since you asked for input, I hope that you don't mind that I gave
you some.  --Sally  - Certainly not  - and thanks

Greg,

Sorry about this - this should be the last revision.


As most of you are aware, the FERC mediator yesterday submitted his
recommendation to the agency, culminating a 15-day mediation process. Among
the mediator's recommendations is that FERC convene an evidentiary hearing,
to close within 60 days, to determine the offset or refund liability of
suppliers of energy, including Enron, into the California's spot markets.  I
expect FERC to act on the recommendation early next week and issue an order
directing that a hearing be convened within possibly a week or less.
Accordingly, getting organized is an imperative.

Several of us participated in a conference call yesterday to discuss whether
Enron should retain Seabron Adamson of Frontier Economics to serve as Enron's
expert in the hearing.  The decision was made to retain Seabron for this
purpose.  Seabron has informed me that he can come to Washington to start
preparing discovery and developing a theory for Enron's case.  The discovery
that Enron pursues will obviously need to be coordinated with litigation
counsel representing Enron in the various California civil litigations and
investigations.

The mediator's recommendation largely ignores two of the issues that were set
for mediation (moving CA power supply to the forward markets and restoring
creditworthiness of CA purchasers) and instead deals exclusively with the
third issue:  Did any supplier overcharge for post-October 1, 2000,
short-term (24 hrs or less) sales into the PX and ISO and, if so, should the
supplier refund the overcharge or have it offset against amounts owed the
supplier?

The mediator did not find a specific overcharge amount. Instead, he opined
that, while not the $8.9 billion claimed by the CA delegation, overcharges
"do amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, probably more than a billion
dollars in an aggregate sum."

Per the mediator's recommendation, the evidentiary hearing should address the
details of a methodology for determining how much each supplier overcharged.
The "single" methodology recommended by the mediator is a modified,
retroactive application of the price ceiling that FERC ordered imposed
prospectively on the entire west in a June 19 order.  That methodology
classes as an overcharge any amount charged between October 2, 2000, and May
28, 2001, that exceeded the operating cost of the least efficient gas-fired
turbine dispatched in CA in an hour plus an adder for O&M, a credit premium
and NOx.  The recommended methodology deviates from the prospective price
ceiling in several respects, including that it would be applied in all hours,
without discount, and would reflect actual heat rates and separate actual
hourly natural gas prices for southern CA and northern CA, resulting in two
separate proxy prices.

The mediator recommends that this methodology be applied to all suppliers,
even those that did not supply power wholly from gas-fired turbines.
Nevertheless, in a contradictory passage, the mediator goes on to recognize
that his recommended methodology "may not be appropriate for all sellers,"
but that any sellers advocating a different methodology "should bear the
burden of demonstrating that their costs exceeded the results of the
methodology recommended herein over the entire refund period.."  (emphasis
added).

Assuming that the agency largely follows the recommendation of the mediator,
then it appears Enron, working through Seabron, can pursue one or two basic
theories.  First and most simply, Enron can accede to the mediator's
methodology and work with the large generators (Duke, Reliant, Dynegy,
Mirant) to force up the proxy price (and lower the overcharge amount) that
the mediator's methodology produces.  Alternatively, in addition to trying to
force up the proxy price, Enron can try to develop a theory that the
mediator's methodology either should not apply to power marketers or should
apply differently to them.  This second approach will likely be joined by
other non-thermal generator suppliers, such as PowerEx.  The obvious risk in
pursing this second approach is that Enron might become exposed to discovery
into the cost basis of its book over the entire refund period..

Those of you who will need or want to discuss the issues with Seabron, please
respond by letting me know as between Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of next
week, which works better for you for a meeting in Washington or a
teleconference.


Jim,

Attached is our report for WTG 79 which answers the questions posed by
Eickoff.  Please note that we provided more information than we were asked
for in anticipation of additional questions from them, yourself and
engineering.  In the attached report we have provided graphs which cover the
previous month (versus the previous week), the production since commissioning
(through February), and a fault list.

The gaps in the data occur wherever the SCADA system did not record data or
it was corrupted in some way.  Please note the fault data is particularly
susceptible to data integrity problems but it does appear that we had pretty
good data recovery during this period.

In the graph section we included a graph of Gen rpm/rotor rpm which should
yield the gearbox gear ratio (a constant).  However, interestingly enough the
values fluctuated from time to time which we cannot explain.

We will have Trent Mesa WTG #30 for you tomorrow morning.

Best Regards,
Hollis

                 As a reminder, position adjustments for both NYMEX and COMEX Division  metals contracts are prohibited beginning on the tenth business  day prior to the first business day of the delivery month, and throughout  the delivery month.

Provided, however, that a  clearing member will be exempt from this requirement if: (I) one side of the  concurrent position is established the business day prior to the date that the  offset memoranda are filed with the Clearing House; (II) a clearing member  filing such offset memoranda can satisfy the Exchange at its request that the  delay in effecting the offset is attributed to an error in the filing of its  clearing sheets; and (III) by 10:30 a.m. on the same date that a clearing member  files such offset memoranda, the clearing member also files with the clearing  house an updated and accurate Long Open Interest  Report.

(2) For the purposes of this Rule 9.04(P), the current  delivery month for energy futures contracts commences on the open of trading on  the third business day, prior to termination of the respective futures contract,  including the termination date.

COMEX RULE 4.37A - CONCURRENT FUTURES  POSITIONS

(1) Concurrent long and short positions in the current  delivery month may not be offset by netting, transfer, expit, adjustment or any  other bookkeeping procedures, but each side must be offset by normal floor  transactions in accordance with Exchange Rules. Provided, however, that a  clearing member will be exempt from this requirement if one side of the  concurrent position is established the business day prior to the date that the  open positions are filed with the Clearing  House.

(2) For the purposes of this Rule 4.37A, the current delivery  month for metals futures contracts commences on the open of trading on the tenth  (10th) business day, prior to the first business day of the delivery  month.
The current delivery month for Eurotop futures commences on  the open of trading on the tenth (10th) business day prior to the termination of  the respective futures contract, including the termination  date.

Subject: Ben Jacoby Signing of CAED I & II Resolutions

Kay,

A few weeks ago I spoke with John Keffer regarding Sweetgum Energy LLC's
request that Ben Jacoby sign unanimous resolutions of CAED I & II approving
the sale by CAED I and II of their respective GE turbines to Sweetgum.  As
of today, Sweetgum has not received back the resolutions signed by Ben. As I
explained to John, Sweetgum and InterGen would appreciate Ben's prompt
execution and return of the resolutions.  If Enron does not wish for Ben to
sign the resolutions, then Sweetgum and InterGen would appreciate your
advising us of that as soon as possible.

As I explained to John, Sweetgum would like to have unanimous resolutions as
this is more customary and cleaner, however, since Ben received the required
3 business days prior notice of the proposed resolutions, the resolutions
only need the majority approval of the board members.

I would appreciate hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.

George

Good Morning,

Exciting News!!  We now have a new Portland Web based IT incident & tracking
application to replace the existing Westdeskitissues.mde Access application.
The new Web based solution adds several key enhancements that will hopefully
improve IT response time and improve our communications back to you when
problems are resolved.

Here are some of the key enhancments:
1.  Ability to query outstanding & resolved issues.
2.  IT problem/resolution knowledge base.
3.  Web page that displays important IT contact information.
4.  Automatic email notifications to resolution team members.
4.  And much, much, more.

For those of you who may be new to the office, or may have forgotten about
the old Westitissues.mde application.  This application is continuously
monitored by the production support team for infrastructure (PC's, Monitors,
terminal-server, LAN, WAN, etc) and application (Enpower, Portcalc, CAPS,
etc.) problems or enhancements requested by users.  This database is also
summarized to capture metrics which are then used to evaluate the performance
of the IT group.

Here are the steps to using the new West Desk Problem Tracking System:

New Login:

1. Go to http://westdesksupport/
2. Click the Login button towards the bottom of the page.
3. In the UserName Box, Enter:  ITWD.
4. For the Password type in: Password.
5. On the next Screen, fill out all the information. (Only certain fields are
required, but filling out everything is preferable)
6. After Clicking the submit button, you are going to be asked to login with
the new username and password you created in the New User Area.
7. Upon submitting, you will come to the main index page.

Adding a WorkOrder:

1. On the Main index page, click on the link add incident to log under the
heading of West Desk Links.
2. Fill out as much information as possible. For IT Contact, please enter
appropriate contact, or if you are not sure, select mtully.
3. Select Priority. (This may be changed by IT)
4. Submit form.

Note: For the description and response fields, you may use html tags for the
formatting of text for display.

The rest is pretty self explanatory. If you hover your cursor over a link or
picture or text box, a texttip will appear and tell you what that link or
textbox is for.

Thanks,

Mike Tully
Trading Floor Support

P.S. When entering a incident, there are two different types of "NEW
Requests". One is New Request (Problem). This is used for reporting an error
or problem with an application. The other is New Request (Enhancement) which
is used for requesting an enhancement to an application.


I have not heard anything about it since I spoke with you last month. My
guess is Mark is not focused on this search. Don't do anything. I will keep

Management and employees both have roles in meeting Enron's commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity, and Harassment Prevention.  To achieve Enron's vision, we need to recruit, select, retain, and manage the most talented people effectively.  We expect all employees to demonstrate Enron's values of respect, integrity, communication and excellence in the workplace.  Our efforts to achieve equal employment, and prevent harassment for all employees will guide us towards ensuring that each employee and organization is as productive, inventive, and competitive as possible in a world of changes.

Enron is an equal employment opportunity (EEO) employer.  In choosing to do business with federal, state, and city government agencies, Enron implements affirmative action plans (AAP) to recruit, retain, and promote women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and covered veterans.  Our efforts are inclusive and based on sound business practices, individual qualifications and merit.  Employee and management conduct is expected to be inclusive and equitable in all aspects of the workplace, including recruitment, applicant screening, hiring, training, assignments, compensation, benefits, job performance evaluation, disciplinary action, separation, and the like.  There is no place at Enron for management practices that include bias, favoritism, discrimination, harassment, or conduct that otherwise violates the law or Company policy.

Enron's Harassment Prevention Policy was developed to prevent harassment and help all employees to maintain a productive and mutually rewarding work relationship.  Harassment of any type, including sexual harassment, is contrary to our policy and preventable with education and respectful personal behavior.  We want all employees to know what harassment is, how to prevent it and how to report it.  Our policy outlines these unacceptable behaviors and helps employees better understand work-related expectations and steps.  Every employee at Enron is expected to prevent harassment and report it if it happens.

Enron's Fair Treatment Policy was developed to provide and maintain a work environment in which all employees are treated equitably.  Our goal is to resolve employment disputes promptly, informally and (where possible) at the lowest level.  Employees who believe they are treated unfairly are encouraged to discuss the matter with their immediate supervisor.  When a concern of unfair, unlawful or unsafe treatment is raised, it will be investigated thoroughly and promptly.  An effective resolution will be reached based on all the information.  The Company will take reasonable steps to ensure confidentiality, but must act on assertions indicating that a violation of policy or law has occurred.

Each of these policies is available for review at http://home.enron.com/resources.  Please familiarize yourself with these policies.  Enron expects and encourages every worker to report workplace issues of concern.  If you need to speak with anyone someone regarding these policies or if an incident occurs that concerns you, please talk with your supervisor, contact your Human Resources representative, or call Enron's Office of Labor and Employment Relations Department at 713-853-7573.  Management is expected to ensure retaliation does not occur.  In addition, Cindy Olson, as  is Enron's EEO officer.  As and  Executive Vice President of Human Resources and Community Relations, Cindy has the responsibility, authority, and full support of Enron to ensure that all employees can avail themselves of our policies.

Your support of respectful workplace relationships adds to a productive and rewarding work environment.  In turn, such personal and organizational success adds to Enron's business success.

Thank you.


Hi Kate,

For Ref 499391 I don't think this is a good deal because Prebon only shows
one off-peak deal like this and it is our reference 499390.

Thanks


Is contract 62164 a valid contract on CGAS?  It was highlighted in red in the
2000ces02.xls sheet.  I updated the info based on what I see in Navigator and
highlighted it in yellow.  And, if this is a valid deal, we need to add it to
Sitara.


Steve:

Here is Part II of the Staff report (covering the rest of the country).  We
are downloading part I of the report (on California) and will send it to you

Subject: Timelines on PGE Sale

Attached are our power point slides laying out the time line for FERC
action.  The estimated time frames for FERC action, even without a
settlement, are somewhat more positive than we discussed yesterday (e.g.,
FERC order on the merits after a technical conference by mid-February).
Also, the group is somewhat optimistic that the FERC order in November
could be an order on the merits, without additional proceedings such as a
technical conference or a hearing.  These optimistic time tables are based
on the assumption that Sierra will not take any action that will alienate
or annoy FERC, which could result in a slowdown in FERC's approval process.

Adam Wenner, Steve Angle, Sam Behrends, Joanne Rutkowski and I all
discussed the various time frames that are laid out in the slides, but they
have not seen the slides, so we would like to reserve the right to amend
the slides once everyone has a chance to review them.  Also, as we
discussed yesterday, we would like to be able to revise the slides, if
necessary, tomorrow once we get FERC's agenda for its November 8 meeting
and we see what action FERC takes in the California investigation on price
spikes this past summer.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Sarah

Rules governing suspension of DA and threats of retroactive suspension
We have helped assemble a coalition of ESPs and business customers to get the most liberal rules possible (e.g., customers can renew DA contracts, customers can add facilities if contract permits, ESPs can assign contracts to other ESPs with consent of customer, ESP and customer can modify existing contract provisions.)
The ESP coalition that we're a part of will file comments on Wednesday on how the suspension rules ought to work.
Retroactively suspending DA remains on the table for debate and remains a threat. But support at the Commission for retroactivity has diminshed considerably and most think that the likelihood of retroactivity is low at this point.
One Commissioner--Carl Wood--continues to express support for pushing the date back, however.

Ruling Issued by California Commissioner requiring market participants to submit their DA contracts to the Commission by first week of December for review.
Commissioner Wood is openly and ideologically opposed to consumer choice and competition and continues his attempts to roll back choice.
Wood issued a ruling "requiring" ESPs and customers to submit their contracts to the PUC for review to determine among other things whether the DA suspension date should be retroactively pushed back to some date prior to Sept 20.
We are working with the same group of business customers and ESPs to oppose Wood's order.
Today, the group agreed to the following:
1) Overall, customers and ESPs will not submit contracts to the California Commission (though there may be a small group that breaks ranks).
2) The group will jointly ask the full Commission to overturn Wood's ruling requiring submission of contracts on the grounds that the ruling is illegal. The group will likely file the joint appeal by the end of this week or first thing next week.
3) In addition, folks will submit separate comments on or around Dec. 3rd to the Commission regarding:
a) the legal reasons to support the argument that the commission doesn't have the legal authority to ask parties to turn over contracts, and,
b) the policy reasons to support the argument that the Commission doesn't need specific contracts, or contract language, to implement the suspension of DA effectively.

Edison's Proposal to Implement the Settlement It Reached with the PUC in Order to Avoid Bankruptcy.
A local consumer group ("TURN") protested Edison's filing.
TURN told the Commission that the proposal requires signficantly more time, scrutiny and analysis than Edison would allow under its proposed schedule.
We're likely to support TURN's suggestion that considerably more time and scrutiny are required since Edison's proposal could have a significant effect on EES' book in California.

Will distribute additional information as it happens. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

Best,
Jeff

Summary Risk Data as of 10/24/2001

Active Financial Deals	51
Active Physical al Deals	35
P&L  Daily	545,890.37
VaR	467,367.61

Physical deals modelled in the Caminus Zainet system are deals which have some form of price risk, (i.e. Index to index deals, and anticipated fuel sales) This does not include standard transport or storage agreements.

P&L  Daily:   Daily change in the  mark-to-market (MTM) valuation of all deals being tracked in the Caminus Zainet system.  This includes the origination and changes in value for both the physical and financial sides of hedges, along with any speculative trades and floating unhedged phsycal positions.

VaR is "Value at Risk":  Enron Corp policy defines this as the maximum expected one day loss on the portfolio given a 95% statistical confidence interval.  This number is currently calculated on the Caminus system using a variance covariance metholodogy, rather than a Monte Carlo simulation per the Enron Corp policy.

NOTE: We are reviewing the modelling of one of the financial deals which may have a significant impact on the numbers reported above.

Please call Vince Strohmeyer at 713.853.6701 with any questions you may have.


Pete,

I learned today of a deal involving a newsprint plant in New Jersey, which
you are running from the legal side.

Are there any issues involving personnel or labor involved in this deal?  If
so, I would appreciate your getting me in the loop as early as possible.

Thanks.

Michelle


I already checked the blue book for the Chicago area and it's exactly the
same as for Houston.  Which means that the prices should be comparable, so
I'll probably try to sell it here first.   I just found out that I should
have the "offer" in a couple of hours.  It's a big mess.  I'll have to tell
you that story later.  My blood pressure surely shot up after talking to the
analyst HR moron.  If you need any help cracking some heads I'm certainly in
the mood for it!!

I'll let you know what I find out.

Subject: Re: Car

Well,  you are in a good position because you could sell your car but you
don't necessarily have to.  In Enron terms this would be called a put option
and we charge for it, so make sure you pay me premium.    The actual
paperwork takes no time. It could be done in a day. Now, if your question was
the time that you can actually find a potential buyer....well, that really
depends on how much you want for it.  Have you decided on a  "floor".  In
other words, decide how much is the minimum you would accept for your car.
Another thing I would do is check the prices in Chicago.  Prices for cars
vary a little  depending on the city. So see if comparable cars in Chicago
are selling for less, that way, it might be a good opportunity to try to sell
it here.  SInce you don't have to sell it, I would check the market very very
well.  You don't need the money, and you don't need to sell it. You have the
power. If you decide to advertise it,  don't mention anything about Chicago.

I'll help you with research later.

Gabriel


thanks

keep me posted


Harry --

Can you track down this bill and determine impact?  We'll discuss on Thursday.

Subject: AB 23XX   Bad Bill Alert

Is AB 23XX moving with a chance of passage?   I just learned that this
Pescetti bill that was AB 1425 was revived as a 2X bill.  It is very
anti-competitive, and could hurt a number of TW, EES, or ENA gas deals by
binding customers to 100% utility service through the imposition of large
exit fees by the CPUC.  If there is a chance that it moves, we need to
discuss the effect of this bill.  Mike Day
