Are you in town this week?  I'd like you to take a look at the suit we are filing under Annex 6 to protect our assets for a set off.  It is in Portuguese, and rather than spend the money on a translation I think it is more cost effective for you to look at it because I want your perspective.  I think I understand it but I want to be sure.  Plus I want to get an update of all the underlying rumblings from the generators and this other clown who is shooting us in the foot.

Subject:	Afirmacoes do Quartim sobre Anexo V

Parece-me que a afirmacoes do Quartim sobre a nao aplicabilidade do Anexo V sob condicoes severas (como as atuais) de racionamento, poe por terra toda a linha de argumentacao das distribuidoras, caracterizando uma situacao de imprevisibilidade, a qual temos tentado negar.

Tecnicamente, tambem nao e correto o que ele esta falando. Quanto a formula foi feita, em agosto de 98, havia no Brasil duas experiencias anteriores recentes com racionamento, ambas com ordem de magnitude similar - 20% no sul (que acabou resultando so em 3 meses ) e cerca de 18% no Nordeste, com 8 meses. O unico aspecto novo e o de racionamento no Sudeste - mas a formula e generica e para todos sistemas interligados.

Note-se tambem que quem literalmente " bolou"  a formula do Anexo V foi o Paulo Born enquanto na Aneel, e uma de suas premisas basilares foi desatrelar a reducao de contrato da reducao fisica (meta de racionamento), o que daria um incentivo perverso para os agentes/distribuidoras se esforcarem para lograr o racionamento.

Tudo e possivel daqui para frente, desde que sejam caracterizadas como resultado de negociacoes entre partes. Da mesma forma, novos contratos com hidro terao suas proprias clausulas, as quais devem ser mantidas, independentemente do que venha acontecer para os Contratos Iniciais.

Talvez o Quartim tenha sido "misquoted" , mas se nao o foi ele tem que ser orientado.

O que voces acham?

    As you go along your way.
    His love is always with you,
    His promises are true,

Subject: Appalachian Update & Scheduled 8/15/00 Meeting

After reviewing the Action Items from 07/17/2000 and more thoroughly
analyzing the &validation task8 assigned to John Singer and myself, we have
changed our approach.  Instead, I recruited Jeanne Wukasch to help pull
together a more effective strategy and assist with the cleanup process.  We
are calling on Jim Javin and John Singer to rule only on exceptions or
conflicts in data. Also, we are meeting with Logistics and IT to establish a
workable solution to clear-up paths with more than one deal.  Our review of
the Appalachian data is based primarily on wellhead activity from the
following sources:

Path Manager Supply ) This gives us the ability to sort data easily, provide
views of deals and path relationships.  This screen allows us to identify
duplicate deals under the same meter and incorrect trading desk assignments.
We can also trace purchase information to the transport detail.
Unify Transaction List ) This is an extract of Apr-00 production data out of
Unify Purchase and Transport files.  This list permits us to compare purchase
price deducts vs. transport payments by meter.  (Manual payments and the
inconsistencies in the Unify set-up of pipe structures will require
additional effort in this area.)  The end result of our efforts will provide:

a deal reference for meters listed more than once
consolidation of wellhead deals by pipe
correct Market East regional designation
purchase deducts not corresponding to pipeline payments
meters without purchase payments
incorrect price adjustments for transport cost

 A status update has been scheduled for August 15 at 1 PM in room EB 3014.
Our goal is to have completed Gatherco and CNR wellheads.  To date our
progress has revealed:

Meters with multiple deals     73
Meters not on Market East deals    167
Different counter-parties with the same meter   13
Deducts missing from the purchase price   47
Purchase prices with incorrect deducts   85
Meters missing purchase expense    16

I am glad to hear that today is going a little better.  We are getting a tad

Hey Pavarotti,

Hope you day is going well and that everything is coming together for the big
presentation tomorrow.  My day is going significantly better than yesterday
so I am pleased.  Plus, my friend just emailed me from San Diego to inform me
that she can get us a great table to see the Symphony's last performance of
the season on Navy Pier...so I've got that going for me, which is nice.  By
the way, what did you end up deciding to do about this weekend - or haven't
you decided yet (the latter would not surprise me in the least...you're a fly
by the seat of your pants kind of guy or a slight procrastinator - - I always
get the two confused).

Now for the rule-breaking.  I realize it's already Wednesday but I wanted to
see if you had any interest in going to grab a bite to eat or just a drink
after work tomorrow or Friday night (in light of our heavy work loads, etc. I
hope you can forgive my rudeness).  Both you and Darren looked pretty whipped
last night and I'm sure tonight will be more of the same...You better be
careful, I think this project is starting to give you gray hair.

Shorty

- - I forgot to tell you last night that my 5 yr. old niece got in trouble on
the way to school yesterday because she punched a little boy in the eye.
Evidently, he was bothering she and her friend Reagan...I think my sister's
biggest fears have now been confirmed, little Sally may have taken after her
Aunt Sue Sue a little too much.


Two agreements have been negotiated with Siemens as part of the plant
turnover for Provisional Completion Phase III on oil: 1) the EOT Claim
Agreement between Siemens and SCC and 2) modifications to the TAA between
Siemens and EPE.

The changes which the lenders should review are as follows:

EOT Claim Agreement

14 Day Availability Test with respect to Provisional Completion Phase III on
oil, on a look-back basis over 6 months, required as a specific performance
requirement
After PC on oil, Siemens can demobilize
Compensation for commissioning on oil $5,720,000; $30,000 per day for owner
delay
Bonus of $15,000 per day that PC achieved before 17 Feb
Phase III Substantial Completion on gas
60 days prior written notice on gas availability
If sound level guarantees demonstrated on oil, only need to demonstrate far
field sound on gas
Owner must operate and maintain per O&M manuals and industry practices on
oil; if not, owner must correct items materially affecting Contractor's
commissioning obligations
Performance guarantees remain in tact per EPC
Long stop date on Phase III Substantial Completion on gas of 31 Dec 01
Substantial Completion on gas - punchlist limited to deficiencies from Work
performed to achieve Substantial Completion on gas
Risk of Loss remains with owner during commisioning on gas
Siemens agrees to enter into negotiations to provide operational assistance
Degradation - agree to use curves with credit to owner for degradation during
commissioning
Compensation for commissioning on natural gas $1,220,000 lump sum; $20,000
per day for owner delay
Warranty - 6 months after Provisional Completion on oil
Option to buy extended warranty for up to 6 months at $175,000; must elect 60
days prior to expiration of Primary Warranty Period
Performance LD's on gas per the EPC contract with first $4,000,000 forgiven
by owner
Delay LD's on gas do not start until 60 days after performance test on gas
Payments to be paid (including EOTof $5,720,000): 15 Feb  $5,446,141; 28 Feb
$14,353,401 with offset of $4,000,000 for Phase I LD payment due from Siemens
to SCC
Late payment interest rate of 14%

TAA Agreement

Effective date Provisional Completion Phase III on oil
No 12 month look back
12 month Initial Guarantee Period, with the clock suspended for gas
commissioning unless owner delay.

Additional Insurance

In order to provide the lenders an adequate warranty period on gas (if there
are additional delays on the P/L) our Insurance group has  indicated that we
will have no problem obtaining 12 months renewable business interruption
insurance when we go operational on gas.  This should solve the issue over
the revised warranty with Siemens because it covers defects, design, and
workmanship on the turbines and includes lost profits, etc.  Incidentally,
for insurance purposes the turbines are designated DE3 which is not a new
technology designation.   The duration of BI coverage is 18 months per event
with US$150,000 deductible.
Typically we will always have this coverage in place but if their is a
supplier warranty then the party providing the warranty pays ahead of the
insurer.  In the case where the supplier does not pay or the warranty has
ended then the insurer is the primary.

We will need to execute these agreements immediately.  Please advise with
your thoughts as soon as possible..

Californians Nervous on Electricity
By JOHN HOWARD

09/22/2000
AP Online
Copyright 2000 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The long, hot summer is ending for San Diego's
electricity customers. But millions of other Californians fear they could
face the same kind of misery when deregulation reaches their part of state.
San Diego-area ratepayers were horrified to see their electricity bills
triple this summer when the region became the first in California to
deregulate.
Next up is Pacific Gas and Electric Co., with 4.5 million customers from
Bakersfield to the Oregon line. It wants to lift the lid on rates next
spring, or even sooner.
And Southern California Edison, which serves 4.3 million customers in the Los
Angeles metropolitan area, has not said when it wants to deregulate, but
under state law it has to happen by 2002.
"Everybody's worried. But ratepayers have paid enough. They've overpaid, and
they're not going to pay a penny more," said Harvey Rosenfield, a consumer
advocate in Santa Monica.
The state Public Utilities Commission, which wrote the first report seven
years ago urging deregulation, said in a grim assessment that more problems
loom on the horizon unless there is a "mid-course correction."
The summer's woes "represent a precursor of what lies ahead for California 's
economy over the next 30 months," the PUC said.
The PUC is investigating its options, which could include putting the brakes
on deregulation.
The 1996 deregulation law was pushed mainly by big industrial customers, who
wanted lower rates. It was supported by utilities and free-market advocates.
Consumer groups generally opposed it. It was overwhelmingly supported by
lawmakers and signed by then-Gov. Pete Wilson.
Under the law, utilities would be forced to sell their energy-producing
assets, such as dams and power plants, and buy power instead on the open
market.
The theory was that competition would drive down rates. But it didn't work
out that way.
When San Diego Gas & Electric , with 1.2 million customers, deregulated, the
average monthly residential bill there and in southern Orange County rocketed
from $40 to $68 to $130 in less than three months.
Ratepayers and politicians were so alarmed that California retreated somewhat
from deregulation by rolling back San Diego rates and promising a $100
million rebate to customers there.
Most agree that an inadequate supply of a power - combined with high demand,
caused by a sweltering summer, a booming economy and a growing population -
precipitated the soaring rates.
The episode has raised concern that the deregulation law is deeply flawed and
tries to accomplish too much too quickly.
Five power plants are under construction and at least a dozen more are
proposed, but none will be ready to boost supplies this year, or most of the
next. None were built in recent years because investors were wary of the
uncertain California market.
In the meantime, other states are watching California and at least one -
neighboring Nevada - may drop plans to deregulate.
"Our hope is that the states that stumbled into deregulation reconsider, and
that those that have not yet acted don't even bother," said Charlie Higgley
of Public Citizen, a Washington-based consumer group.
At least a half-dozen other states are in some phase of deregulation,
including Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut. None has experienced the roller-coaster rates California has.
That's because they did it differently, according to industry experts. In
some cases they did not force the sell-off of generation facilities, or they
took more time.
PG&E has lost about $2.2 billion since June and SoCal Edison has been running
up similar losses while they await deregulation. That's because the utilities
rates' have been frozen during the transition period, while they sell off
their power-generating assets.
Once they sell off their assets, the utilities want to pass those costs on to
their customers. That alarms consumer advocates.
Rosenfield, who wrote a 1988 ballot proposal that cut insurance rates, said a
ballot initiative to roll back electric rates is in the works.
"There is a ratepayer rebellion," he said. "It started in San Diego, it has
spread to the Bay Area and in two years it will be everywhere in the state."

Hi Stacey !

Thank You for the report and for visiting us !

The old office is still vacant and we are paying.
I proposed today for Neil Austin/London and Thorstein Jenssen/Oslo that we
should take an other
property consultant to carry the task beside Healey&Baker.

Our landlord at the new premises is Regus  (www.regus.com).
This arrangement is fine and easy to leave.
We are staying here for 1-2 years, then apartment type or Oslo/London.

Some minor notes to Your very good draft.
Ms Heidi Sieppi moved to Oslo today June 6th 2001 to work there for 6 months.

Yes, Regus Offices.

Small cameras is a very good idea !   (< 100 $ each in Finland)

To office profile I would like to add: Helsinki office's one task is to
recruit from Finland for Enron.

On the business control side: On our expense claims are travelling and minor
marketing expenses

Report from yesterday's technical conference.  FYI, Kern River originally
argued that there is no viable segmentation opportunity on its system because
there are currently no gas supply sources available to its shippers between
the Utah and Nevada markets to source a segmented transport.  After a
technical conference last October, Kern River did file a segmentation
proposal, but I'm not sure how much value it would have as a practical
matter.  Note the Southwest Gas arguments (summarized in #3 below) for
allowing backhauls from California to Las Vegas under a segmented agreement.

Subject: Kern River 637 Segmentation Issue

Becky,

I did attend this morning's Kern River technical conference in Docket No.
RP00-337 at FERC.  The discussion was only on the segmentation proposal made
by Kern River.  They have filed pro forma tariff sheets to allow:
segmenting of firm contracts at any point
segmentation and release
subject to a limitation of MD at any overlapping points
backhaul from supply pooling points or points where gas is physically received
sets out secondary priorities for transportation within the path and outside
the path

After Kern River made this pro forma filing, there were two protests by
Dynegy and Southwest Gas.  Kern River discussed these protests at this
technical conference in attempt to resolve all issues.

1.  Kern River agreed with Dynegy's point that a segmenting shipper should
retain primary rights to mainline capacity when using points within the
original contract path or even when outside of path but the mainline
constraint remains the same as within the path.

However, after determining priorities on mainline capacity, if constraints
occur at specific new points in the segmented transaction, then the
transaction could be given secondary priority based on the receipt or
delivery point capacity.

Indicated Shippers needed to be assured that their capacity to Wheeler would
not be diminished due to this new policy.  Kern River responded that this is
how they have always treated flex points and that because Wheeler was a
constrained point, any segmented transactions that used Wheeler (new) would
be secondary to the current rights (not on the basis of mainline but on the
basis of the delivery point scheduling).

2.  In response to Southwest's first issue, Kern River also agreed to make
changes to provide parity between segmentation for release and segmentation
for a shipper's own use of transportation.  If a shipper segments a contract,
it can get additional primary receipt or delivery point capacity within the
path if it is available from the pipeline.

It was also noted that a shipper can segment a contract that goes from A to C
into two transactions - A to B and then a backhaul from C to B.  In doing
this, since there is no overlapping of mainline capacity, both transactions
can be at the original MDQ.  The result could be double the MDQ at the new
delivery point B.  This seems very flexible of Kern River and perhaps more
than many other pipelines currently are willing to offer.

3.  The last issue raised by Southwest was the controversial one and was not
resolved at today's technical conference.  Southwest wants to use its firm
transportation contract on Kern River through segmenting to backhaul from
Wheeler Ridge delivery point or from PG&E delivery point to Las Vegas.  Kern
River currently will provide this kind of service only on a IT basis - a
separate service to Southwest.  They claim that this cannot be provided on a
firm basis.  Southwest states that this is displacement service and barring
insufficient deliveries at Wheeler or PG&E (very unlikely, according to
Southwest), could be provided under their firm contract.  They are willing to
take the risk that the capacity would not be available if Kern does not have
enough forward haul to Wheeler or PG&E.

Indicated Shippers claimed that this is similar to a service provided by
Transwestern; however Transwestern offered this as a pipeline firm service.
Kern River claims that it does not and cannot offer this backhaul as a firm
service.  Kern River also argued that per GISB once gas is scheduled on a
firm contract to a secondary point that it is considered firm.  IT can be
bumped intraday and this backhaul service may be bumped.

Mirant also supported Southwest on this issue because they know of some power
plants in the Las Vegas area being built that could use this kind of service.

Kern River maintained that this service is not required by Order No. 637.

Kern River will file changes to the pro forma tariff by May 15.  Comments by
the parties are due June 1 and Kern River can file in reply by June 11.
Comments should be emailed to the parties.

John,

I talked to Fletch yesterday and I think I am going to come back to Calgary. I'll give you a call this afternoon or Monday to talk about details but I just thought I would drop you a note so you could get the ball rolling with HR on your end. Talk to you soon.

Chris


Tracy and Dan,

Steve and I revised the business development slides for Stan's presentation.  I'm waiting for Kim Watson to update the TransPecos slide and will forward when complete.  Will forward final rendition when completed, probably on Monday.


I was wondering if you might be able to help me.  I need to finish strong
this year.  I am attempting to reach the goal of $336,000 in clothing sales
by the end of the year.  Obviously, no single client will be able to help me
do this.  So I was wondering if you might be able to help me out by giving
me the names of some qualified gentlemen or ladies that might be interested
in the type of service we offer.

Some things to consider:

We offer ready-made (off the rack) clothing as well as custom.
We offer all types of men's clothing including casual.

If you know of some mid to upper level executive women, they may have an
interest as well.

Some memory joggers:

Who is the best dressed man or woman you know?
Who do you know that likes nice cars?
Who do you know that owns their own company?
Who do you know that is successful in sales?
Who do you know that wears an expensive watch?
Who do you know that owns their own airplane?
Who do you know that might have a hard time fitting in typical clothing?

Thanks for your help!

Given the evolution of a number of our businesses, we have decided to make an
organizational change.  The change is in response to a number of factors.
First, as a part of our new initiative in Enron Net Works, it is becoming
clear that we have the opportunity to quickly expand Enron,s underlying
business model to other commodity markets.  Such an expansion requires a
coordinated focus on strategy as we select and develop these opportunities.
Second, the success of EnronOnline and the continued expansion of our
wholesale activities in North America and Europe have increased the
coordination requirements across our North American and European operations.
As a result of these two factors, we are making the following organizational
changes effective immediately:

Cliff Baxter will move from Enron North America to Enron Corp. as Executive
Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer.
Mark Frevert will become Chairman and CEO of North America, replacing Cliff.
In addition, Mark will remain Chairman of Enron Europe.
John Sherriff will become President and CEO of Enron Europe.

We are confident that these changes will increase the effectiveness of our
organization.  Please join us in congratulating Cliff, Mark and John on their
new responsibilities.

This will confirm that the meetings with Weil for Sat and Sun will begin at 10am. Mark wants the entire team to be present for the Sat meeting. We will decide after that meeting who needs to be present on Sun. I have sent Weil a number of materials, including the 3rd quarter results given to the analysts.

Subject: Ledford agreement - accounting issue

Herman:

I talked with Karen Way at Piper Marbury Rudnick & Wolfe (our chicago
counsel) regarding the contingencies section (s.18) of the Ledford land
option agreement.  She confirmed for me that none of the conditions in
Section 18 would allow us to recover either the option consideration ($5000)
or the purchase price ($265,000).  Further, the language at the end of
Section 20 specifically states that the option consideration is true option
consideration and is deemed earned by the Optionors upon receipt.

Based upon our discussions this afternoon, I will let Kay know that you are
comfortable with the agreement being executed in its current form.

Thanks,
Fred


The Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee meet for almost six hours today and
approved an amended version of H.R. 1647, Chairman Barton's emergency
legislation to aid California, by a 17-13 party line vote.  The full Energy
and Commerce Committee may take it up as early as next week (probably
Thursday, May 17th).

The Subcommittee DEFEATED an amendment by Rep. Waxman (D-CA) to impose
wholesale price caps for 18 months.  The amendment was defeated 12-20 with
all Republicans voting against, including the three from California and Rep.
Greg Walden (R-OR), who while seen as the last to decide to oppose the price
cap amendment, was the most forceful and articulate in opposition to the
amendment.  Also voting "NO" were Democratic Reps. Ralph Hall (D-TX) and
Chris John (D-TX), with which we had met in recent days.  The final vote
tracked our whip count going into the meeting.

Rep. Albert Wynn (D-MD) offered and withdrew an amendment to delete the
"negawatts" provision.  There was bipartisan criticism that while the concept
made sense, there were potential problems in terms of possible games playing,
including end users being able to sell power while not actualy reducing their
normal power levels.  Another member said that electric coops that are
required to sell at cost could have customers then go out and resell that
power and make a lot of money.  Several Members said businesses could shut
down, put workers out of work and become energy marketers and make more
money.  Chairman Barton made a forceful defense of negawatts.  While the
amendment to strike was deleted, we will need to respond to these criticisms
and shore this up before full committee next week.  There will be another
attempt to delete at full committee unless these concerns are addressed in an
amended version.

Ranking Democrat Rick Boucher (D-VA) offered and withdrew an amendment to
reinstate FERC maximum prices for the secondary transmission market, thus
reversing the Feb. 2000 FERC order.  This woudl last for 18 months.
Chairman  Barton said he agreed with Boucher that there is a problem with
what appear to be high gas transmission rates to California, but he disagrees
with the proposed remedy.  He pledged to work with Boucher before Full
Committee mark-up. We are obtaining a copy of this amendment and should
analyze it ASAP for its potential impact on Enron operations.

Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) offered and withdrew an amendment to impose a series of
new tests to be administered by FERC all with the goal of discouraging spot
market transactions, or at least what he would define as excessive use of the
spot market, and at the same time encourage "deep bilateral mechanisms."  The
mechanisms included a "market balance test" that would say only sellers with
a commitment to the long term market could sell in the spot market at
unregulated rates and "spot market circuit breakers" that would be triggered
when reserves are low in a given market.  Chairman Barton said he likes the
concept of a spot market circuit breaker, but felt that the amendment was too
complicated to be evaluated today.  We will also pursue an analysis of this
amendment since it will likely be offered again in some form.

Mr. Markey also offered and withdrew a "net metering" proposal that would
establish federal interconnection standards for individual consumers who
would want to use fuel cells and other renewable technology to put power onto
the system.  It was interesting that those who opposed negawatts spoke
favorably of net metering even though they are complementary.

The subcommittee by voice vote adopted a Walden Amendment to strike the
section of the bill that would have required an RTO if 10 of the western
governors approved it.  The debate was pro-RTO but the rationale for deleting
the provision is that one is already being formed and Members from those
states did not want to upset the work already under way.

A series of other amendments on other matters were offered and withdrawn,
none of which relate to our activities.


We would like to schedule our trip to Cancun, Ritz Carlton for March 29,
Thursday through Sunday.  It will be the trading group only, less Tori
Kuykendall.  Please look into planning this trip.  You are the queen.

Sincerely,
Mike

The information was sent to the FPSC staff on Tuesday, March 27, 2000.  Tom
did review the document prior to it being sent to the FPSC.  Gulf added a
small paragraph regarding the outages experienced on our 230kV system.  We
do not have access to AEC's information.  Thus, far we have seen no filings
from AEC or WFEC.

Russell,  I reviewed this with our business guys and they were fine with
what you represent here.  We did not check this with Tom Balcerowiz and he
needs to take a look at it.  Have your technical people gotten with Tom yet
on any of these issues?  If not then we can run it down on this end.

Our only concern was that reliability between Gulf's 230 kv system and
AEC's 115 kv system was not addressed.  It was our understanding that this
was a question of the PSC staff.  Are there plans to provide any
information concerning this item, or is no information available from AEC
for such assessment?

Any word concerning WFEC's response to our petition or any filings they
have made with the PSC?

Staff Thursday March 21, 2001.   Thanks

Canadian Counterparties that currently do not have a Master Agreement in
place.  I have noted which type of Master(s) would be appropriate based on
the type of business currently being done on the Ontario desk with each
Counterparty.

 Geoff, I would be glad to meet and review this listing with you to make sure
I have captured the correct information regarding the type of business you
are conducting with each of these counterparties, just let me know when you
are available.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: Update

Dave,

Coyote:  BPAmoco flaked so Avista is trying to move forward to take the whole
deal (some public embarrassment if they dont close since they announced it
last week).  At the same time, DLJ is bringing in some of the industry
players that originally expressed interest.  One of those parties that called
Jake is Orion, so Jake let Don Miller know this.  We will have a handle on
preliminary feedback from these parties on Friday.

Pastoria and LVCogen:  Deal books should have arrived.  Do you want to meet
on these?  who would you like to meet with?  Parquet for Pastoria and
Gilbert/Clark for LVCogen?

Pastoria DASH is being finalized along with the Catalytica DASH.  Pastoria
costs will be higher given the unwind of the Xonon swap and the fact that
turbine costs were padded by $9MM for GE's catalytica development costs
(argument for a value-grab!)

FYI I called Patrick Stevens of Triumph Energy three times...the number I
called appeared to be an office shared with other companies.  The general
number's voicemail was full so I have not reached him.

Scott Healy changed his decision and is going to work for Duran.  I dont
understand his decision but Scott said that the "organization" thought it
would be a better opportunity in Houston.

Chris
