Yes we do want to renew the option through September of next year and we will
need to persuade them to lower the option premium.  Her is a thought:  the
land fill closure cost is approximately $2.9 million.  Could we create a new
option agreement that states that the strike price is $4.2 million ($1.3 the
original strike price plus the cost of land fill closure cost) so we could
pay an option premium of up to $210,000 (5% of $4.2 million).  At closing, we
reduce the purchase price by the costs yet to be incurred in the closing the
land fill.  Since Certosa Holdings will not start the closure until they are
assured that we will exercise the option if even then, the net cost to us
would drop back to  the original strike price.  Could we get this past the
accountants?

Only the memorandum of option was recorded.

I've skimmed it.  I see that the option expires August 9th.  Are we planning
to renew it?  If so maybe we can renew early and fix what we can to preserve
some optionality (no pun intended) and cover the fee issue.  Might take too
long to address the immediate issue.

I don't see anyway we can get around the balance sheet issue unless we let
the option expire and then reoption, but in that case the option payment
would have to be smaller (acct says an option of 5% creates a problem as it
would be considered a down payment).  Just fyi.

Kathleen, was the option recorded, or just a memo of option, or neither?  I'm
just wondering what is public info.

Herman is out of the office today, but I can discuss the fee issue to get his
vote.

More to come...

I think the invoice was for between $20,000 and $30,000, but I can't
remember.  AEW has the invoice.  This probably will not be the final as we
will need to work with them in discussions with DERM on delaying the landfill
closure and in moving jurisdiction of the project from CZAB to the County
Commissioners.   I think Shutts & Bowen (who may get stiffed by their client
if this deal blows up) and Certosa Holdings would be open to any suggestions
and we need to renegotiate the option anyway.  Shall I call and suggest this
this flat fee for retooling the option agreement to them or shall we do it
together?  I,m not sure I could explain to them acequately the idiosyncrasies
of our accounting requirements.

How much is it and should this be the final amount?  One thought I have is
that maybe we can retool the option agreement so that we pay them a flat fee,
which is enough to cover the expenditures.  Don't know if this works, but it
is one thought.  What do you think?

One more thing on the SDEC project:  According to the option agreement we
executed last October, we agreed to reimburse Certosa Holdings for actual
third party costs that they incurred in support of our necessary
applications, submittals and in seeking local approval.  Several weeks ago,
we recieved an invoice from Shutts & Bowen, attorney for Certosa Holdings
requesting reimbursement pursuant to the contract.  I forwarded this invoice
on th Ann Elizabeth not necessarily to pay for but to review considering this
whole soft cost hard cost discussion.  I recieved another call this morning
from Shutts & Bowen asking about the invoice.  What should I do?

Ann Elizabeth did not provide a designated hitter for the South Dade Energy
Center (Dade Development Company LLC is Optionee, Certosa Holdings is
Optionor) nor did she provide one for tne Medley Dunn project.  I have been
told that the Dunns are considering backing off their ultimatums that they

You will all be getting an invitation to a project greentlight meeting.  I would like to get together and discuss the logistics of what the committee will do.  Please think about:

1.  How often we should meet
2.  How to hold people accountable for projects
3.  Setting up timelines for where the committee thinks we should be at benchmark times.  (maybe each quarter end)
4.  Reporting progress to Sally and Rick Buy

I am sure there are many other things which I have left out, which you guys may want to add.  I appreciate everyone' s attention to this project both now and going forward.

Thank both of you for stopping by to visit last Friday.  It was good to see
you.
I hope Enron can get some of their "creative juices" going and figure out a
way
that the City of Mesa can compliment their gas contract with their electric
needs.   I think there are some opportunities out there.

Kim, two things.  One regarding capacity releasing:  our billing determinant
is
14,247 and we can release the difference of this number and what our load will
be.  Sorry, I just had to think about it after the meeting.  Also, regarding
this matter, one must consider the conditions of pre-arranged deals.  There
are
some hurdles, but all "doable" once we get our thinking caps on.

Two, I did not realize that you were on the electric side for awhile.  I am in
somewhat of a "learning mode" regarding electric and was wondering if you
could
just "jam" with me about the electric side.  I understand the concepts because
of my position on the gas side, but I want to learn the players and some
strategies.  Dave, I think you could teach me a thing or two also.

Let me know.

RBowers@nyiso.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List:

This notice is to inform Transmission Customers that the September 20, 2001
OATT Schedule 1 residual adjustments are artificially inflated in the first
version of the advisory billing statements.  A file used in the computation
of subzonal loads was not loaded prior to the billing run making it appear
as though no load existed in some subzones.  This  causes all DAM scheduled
purchases and bilateral transactions serving load in the affected subzones
to be sold back in the Balancing Market.  This creates an under-collection
which is then recovered from the market through the balancing energy,
losses, & congestion residuals .  The 20th will be rerun as soon as price
corrections and metered MWh values have been reconciled.  The NYISO
apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this problem.

Can you settle this guy down.  As well as always whining about his fake trading account, he wants to accellerate out of real time early.  Tell him to do his time and learn.  Also he wanted to go to Harry's group next which is a mistake. He needs to learn the business not the derivatives.

Light volume, positive day... yawn, yawn... then after the close: the
biggest non-news news of the millennium - Judge Jackson ruled to break-up
Mr. Softee.  MSFT sold off initially (after being up small on the day) but
is trading up over 2 as I write this (5:45PM NY Time).  Gates is defiant and
feels that things will go his way on appeal - he might be right but given
Mr. Bill's penchant for seeming arrogant it was abit odd to see him as the
front man dismissing questions about the naming of the second company as if
it were completely out of the realm of possibility.  A more tempered, less
emotional, less personal response might have been abit more comforting for
stockholders - many people feel Mr. Bill's hubris got them into this mess to
begin with - look at INTC and CSCO - they know when to tip their hat at
Uncle Sam and stay out of the court room.  The key is the restrictions which
are supposed to go into effect in 90 days - Gates feels very very very very
confident that they will be thrown out and Mr. Softee will suffer no harm
during the appeal - evidentially many after hours traders share his view.
They seem unconcerned of the threat to the new MSFT net strategy - which is
to be announced at the end of June.  In the broader markets - it was a
reversal of yesterday with financials and tech on the rebound (IBM, ORCL,
HWP, SUNW, C, BAC, AXP, LEH, BSC, AMTD...) and utilities and energy falling
to profit taking (XOM, BPA, RD, WMB, PCG, CPL....).  In the CEUT Universe -
it was a mixed bag - ITWO* up over 11, MANU* (which was down over 5) closed
in the green - Catherine Moore spoke inter-day and said the sellers were
wrong..... AMCC* down almost 10, KOPN* down almost 3 1/2, PMCS* down over 2
but SSTI* up over 7.... BRCD* up over 10 1/2, NTAP* & PRCM up over 4...
MUSE* up over 4, VRTS* up over 9.... TMPW up over 3... GMH* down over 8 1/2,
XMSR* up 1/2, PGTV* down over 6 1/2... IMAN+ up almost 1...   In IPO-land
GCBF never came but UbiquiTel (UPCS), a wireless service provider associated
with Sprint PCS,  came at 8 (below original range) and closed down almost 4%
- not great but given these markets.... tomorrow is the PPI # - if shows
soft on inflation then the feeling is the Fed will not raise in June.

We faxed a 57-page package to you on Friday. Let me know if  you didn't
receive it. In the meantime, my secretary is faxing you the KPMG  letter to
Doug Cargill, which is identical to all the other letters that were  sent to
non-union employees.

Dean, to  whom did you send the package last week?

Subject:? Re: Celgar - Asbestos  Claims

Michelle,

Sorry, I should have been more clear on  the 4 - 6 % vacation? pay. That is
the statutory minimum under the  Employment Standards Act. It? applies to
non-union employees. It only  applies to union employees if the? equivalent
provisions in the  collective agreement do not "meet or exceed" the? Act's
provisions.  Since the collective agreement's provisions are better than
the provisions in  the Act, the Act's vacation pay provisions do not apply
to? union  employees.

In terms of the payment schedule, for union employees  the? collective
agreement stipulates they may take their vacation pay at  the start of? the
year. I believe Celgar applies a similar policy for  non-union employees,
but? I'll check on that. When their actual time for  vacation comes up, they
may? actually have to take that time off without  any pay if they've already
elected? to take the pay earlier.

For  both union and non-union employees, vacation pay is earned? and  accrued
in one year and paid out the next. So in 2001, all Celgar  employees? will
be entitled to vacation pay based on a percentage of  their 2000? earnings.

With respect to the standard employment  contract, there really? isn't one,
save for the letter of employment  that KPMG sent out to all? employees. The
letter from KPMG to Doug  Cargill is a sample. It was in the? package I sent
on Friday last week.  If you don't have it, please let me know and? I'll
send it.

There  are also position descriptions for every union and? non-union
employees  that are given to the employees upon hiring. These might? also  be
considered part of the contract of employment, though they are  not
incorporated into a letter of employment.

Hope that answers your  questions. Please let me know if I may? be of
further  assistance.

Dean

>>>?  <Michelle.Cash@enron.com> 12/11/00 01:25PM  >>>

Thanks,? Dean.

Two questions have arisen based  upon your diligence? summary:

1.? Do you have a copy of the  "standard" employment? letter?? We haven't
seen it (or, at least I  haven't).
2.? What? is meant by the 4-6% vacation pay?? How  does that work?? How? are
the pre-payments made?? Does the  person get the money early and then? not
get paid for time off later  on?? Additional explanations would be?  helpful.

Thanks.

Subject:? Celgar - Asbestos?  Claims

Peter & Michelle,

Brian Hiebert forwarded to  me? Peter's questions regarding the risk of
asbestos litigation at?  Celgar.

Under the Workers Compensation Act, employers in  British?? Columbia are
required to contribute to an accident fund  which provides?? compensation
for
injuries or occupational  diseases arising out of employment.? In?  turn,?the
Act?provides employers statutory immunity?  from?damages? in respect of any
personal injury, disablement  or? death arising out of and in? the course  of
employment.

The? accident fund would cover asbestos claims.  There are no
exceptions?which? would allow asbestos  litigation?against employers.? The
Act? does?not  prohibit?litigation against third parties, eg.
manufacturers
of  asbestos, but employers, as stated, are immune from? such?  actions.

Compensation is payable if the worker sustains? pulmonary  injury by a
disabling form of asbestosis. We will make the? appropriate  enquires about
any? compensation paid to Celgar?  employees.


Tana,

It appears that the Contracts group updated a RESTRICTED product and has
thrown these into your work queue.  A quick fix is to add filters in product
type for that specific product type =  US Gas Phy Index Firm non-TX <or = 1MO

Attached is a memo regarding the above-referenced matter.


Kevin,

We routinely prepare that data and it is available for all our turbines.  The
problem is that the consumption/production is a net number for a 5.5 minute
period so we do not know what the turbine loads are, only what they are
netting.

This leaves two questions:

1. What is the turbine consuming during normal operation (including standby,
full power, etc) and
2. What is the potential financial liability a particular site has for
consumed power.

The first question we cannot answer with the SCADA data because the SCADA
data is a net number.  This one will require actual measurement of data to
ascertain.

The second question we cannot answer with the SCADA data unless the frequency
of the measurement coincides with the 5.5 minute SCADA periodicity.

Regarding the second question:

Since we will be charged a different rate for consumed power (a "retail"
rate) versus the rate we are paid for produced power (the "wholesale" rate)
we cannot depend on a net metering solution with an arbitrary frequency.
Taking a look at extremes by way of example:  If we are netting on a monthly
basis then we will never owe anything under a net metering solution.  This is
because in normal operation the turbine always produces more power than it
consumes on a monthly basis.  On the other hand if the frequency is based on
a 1 minute periodicity then we will have 2 instances of individual minutes.
One would be a minute in which we produced power and sold it at the retail
rate and the other would be a minute where we consumed power and purchased it
at the retail rate.  This is because the turbine is not producing power
during every minute of the month.   There are an infinite number of
permutations because you can set the time interval to an infinite number of
values.

Our current value is a net number, based on a 5.5 minute interval.  If the
utility is basing their measurement on a different frequency then we will
certainly get a different total for power consumed,

The other issue is the location of the measurement.  If the measurement is at
the substation then the net number is an aggregate of the wind turbines which
dampens the impact of a particular turbine (good for us).  If the measurement
is with our SCADA system at the individual turbine then we maximize the
impact if a particular turbine is down for any reason while the remaining
turbines are operating (bad for us).

Therefore to more fully understand the 2nd question from Mark we also need to
know 2 additional points:

1.  What is the proposed frequency for the metering?
2.  Where is the measurement going to take place?

As mentioned earlier, we can provide the net production/consumption for each
5.5 minute interval.  However, I think the only way we can fully address this
question is to run a test program based on the answers to these two last
questions.

Regards,
Hollis

Mark, Mark and Mark:

I have reviewed the attached power curve and clearly it will not help in
formulating an answer to your question.

I would like to ask Mark Fisher to look at a typical installation (any one of
our field sites) and give us data on kWh consumed by several turbines over a
multi-month period with data arranged month by month. Perhaps one or two
turbines at Monfort would be the best because we can look at a whole year of
data. This would tell us what was produced and what was consumed in energy.

Mark Eilers, what do you think?

Hi,

	 	The power options trading desk is beginning to structure deals and to make markets in spark spread options ( options on the spreads between power prices and natural gas prices).  Please refer to the attached file for further information.

 	   	It would be most helpful to meet with the relevant individuals  on the Gas desk  who would be interested in spark spread options.

	 	 Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Bruce Sukaly (a VP of ENA who was formerly with MEGA) recommends this guy
highly.  From the looks of his resume, he should know what he is doing and
could work in a variety of groups.  Bruce indicated that Joe and his wife

Yes I do.  His name is Joe Limone.  I worked with him at MEGA.  He has a
broad background in energy, especially power.  He is a good attorney,
hard-working, dedicated and determined.  He is definitely a guy you want in
the trenches with you.  I have attached his resume.


Attached is a revised draft of the Posting Agreement, along with a blackline
against the version you sent me.  Please call if you want to discuss.  Thanks.

Kevin,

Good point with Naheola Energy Island, but this may also apply to several
other
energy projects that have occurred over the past two years.  The Kzoo Steam
Turbines, the RO Project at Marathon, etc...

Also Kevin and Richard given the fact that Naheola was not a wholly owned
asset by
FJ (50%), but rather an LLP with another party (Utilico) - is this asset in
any
way exempt from the Alliance Agreement from FJ's perspective?

Thanks

David

Here is a revised summary of the 13 candidates I sent to Tony Vasut.  I
believe he has made initial contact with each of them.  If you decide you
would like to talk to them, please don't mention my name, as some of them are
former clients of mine, used to work with me, or still work with my husband
(I think you get the picture - I've been gone from PwC less than a month).
However, I would be pleased to talk to you about any of the people mentioned
below.

I have categorized them into 5 categories - senior level, IT/Risk, mid level,
junior level, and admin assistants.  I have not spoken to the majority of
these people about giving our recruiting department their name (see note
above), with the exception of Mark Smith, Dave Simpson, and Connie Shugart.
All of these people have indicated great interest in coming to Enron.

Again, please call me with any questions, or need of further info.  My
extension is 39123.

Best regards

Shona

Senior level risk people

Andy Dunn
until 3 weeks ago he was a director in the PwC risk management practice.  Due
to a falling out between Andy and the partners (not client related), he left
the firm.  He is extremely well respected by both the audit and the non-audit
personnel, and his leaving came as an unexpected surprise.  I have worked
with him on a number of occasions and would highly recommend him to Enron.
The downside to Andy is that he lives in Denver, is used to travelling a lot,
but, at the last time we spoke (a few months ago), is not interested in
leaving Denver.  His cell phone (if still in use) is 303 807 0040.

Mark (Allan) Smith
Mark is in the PwC energy risk management practice in Houston.  We worked
very closely together throughout 1999 on projects for Coral Energy and Equiva
trading.  Prior to working at PwC, Mark was at BP for 15 years where he had
many different roles (he worked as a crude trader, products trader, he worked
in the risk management department, in the refinery itself as an engineer).
Mark was excellent to work with.  Clients are extremely impressed with his
knowledge and background.  I would highly recommend him for a leadership role
at Enron.  I spoke to him and he is interested in pursuing opportunities at
Enron.  His direct number is 713 356 4233.  His cell phone number is 713 412
3890.

IT/Risk people

Shawn lafferty, Alan Beaton, & Carolyn Johnson
These people are all senior managers in KPMG's Information risk management
department and are all looking for opportunities outside KPMG.  They all have
8+ years work experience in the IT field.  KPMG's main number is 713 319 2000.

Mid level risk people

Marilyn Chee
She currently works for Equiva trading, manager in-charge of accounting for
derivatives.  Her role has expanded to encompass FAS 133 and all mtm
accounting entries.  She liases with all book heads (crude and all
products).  In the past, she worked in the Texaco internal audit department.
She was my main contact at Equiva when I was their auditor.  She is extremely
diligent and very professional.  I enjoyed working with her greatly and have
to say she was one of the best people I have worked with in the capacity of a
client/professional relationship.    Marilyn has a lot of responsibilities at
the alliance and is extremely well respected.  She has had a difficult year
as she is doing a job that should be done by 3+ people.  She has mentioned to
me that she is not happy about the fact that her load continues to increase,
and has even mentioned finding another job.  However, due to the fact that
she is so well respected where she is, she may be difficult to recruit (713
277 6280).  If you contact her I would not want my name associated with it
due to the PwC/alliance relationship.

Scott Barnes
Scott is an audit manager at PwC.  He has worked in energy for his career,
which he spent in Houston and Moscow and New York.  He has worked as an audit
manager, a special projects manager for the managing partner of the Houston
office, a manager in the capital markets group (the group responsible for
helping non-US companies prepare to register and list with the SEC), and the
transaction support group (the group that is resposnible for performing due
diligence procedures for PwC clients).  He is looking for opportunities
outside PwC.  The PwC general line is 713 356 4000.

Keith Considine
He is currently a senior accountant at PwC.  He is the best senior PwC
Houston has, as well as probably one of the best people I have ever worked
with (the top of his class).  Although he only has 4 years of work experience
(all at PwC), he performs in a manager capacity.  He worked for me on the
Coral Energy audit engagement and received an excellent evaluation from both
myself and the partners (we all agreed that he is one of the best people any
of us have seen or worked with).  He is currently working on a project at one
of PwC's clients to standardize their mid office processes .  He definitely
does not see himself as a long time employee of PwC, but is currently
planning on staying there until he is promoted to manager.  I actually
recommended him for a promotion to manager at July 1 this year, but due to
capacity issues, I don't expect that the promotion will be approved. His
number is 713 356 5617.

Junior level risk people

Robin Manspeaker
currently works as a scheduler at Equiva Trading.  She has been there about a
year and a half.  Before that, she worked at Novarco in White Plains (a
subsidiary of Marc Rich).  She was there about 3 years.  I do not know where
she was before that.  I have worked with her during my audits of Marc Rich.
She seemed very well versed in her knowledge of her job and processes
surrounding it. I do not have her number, but you can call Shell information
at 713 241 6161 and they will transfer you.

Dave Simpson
Analyst at Koch Energy in Houston, has a degree in accounting and has work
experience of about 2 years.  He is very interested in leaving Koch.  I know
him on a person basis, but have not worked with him.  He is a good guy and
very likeable.  His phone number is 713 544 7649

Robert Hernandez
is someone who may be able to fill an open position at Enron South America.
Last year, Robert worked for me at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) on the
external audit of Coral Energy.  He was a great worker and very good at his
job.  He speaks fluent Spanish as well as fluent English.

Before working at PwC, Robert worked in the gas trading industry in the
mid/back office.  I'm not sure of all of his responsibilities, but I do know
he was involved in gas actualizations. In total, I think he has about 4 years
of work experience.

He left PwC in March to take a position with Heins in their internal audit
department.  I have not spoken to him since he left, but do know he paid a
recruiter to find him this position.  I do not know if he is happy at his
current company or not.

I do not know his number, but he can surely be found by using the general
line.  I looked it up for you and came up with two - 713 785 1494, 713 225
0565.

Admin assistants

Connie Shugart
she is currently working at PwC as an administrative assistant.  She is also
involved in recruiting experienced personnel for PwC's audit and internal
audit service lines.  She is very interested in Enron and has asked me a few
times to get her a contact here.  I have not worked directly with her but due
to her close proximity to my office I talked to her a number of times and was
very impressed. (713 356 4000 - general PwC number).  I have spoken to her
about giving her name to Tony and she is very excited about coming over and
interviewing.  She really wants to work for Enron!

Ellen Robertson
She is an administrative assistant who is looking to leave PwC.   I have
never worked with her, but she did come to ask me my opinion on how she
should go about finding other work. (713 356 4000 PwC general line).
